Bear Creek Development Authority manages this utility company campground with drive-in and boat-in access from mid-March through mid-October. The facility provides electric and water hookups for RVs, plus a dump station, drinking water, toilets, and showers. Reservations are available for the sites and cabins.
Campers report very limited cell service throughout the area. The campground sits on lakefront property where visitors can access the water directly, while Bear Creek remains a short drive away for paddling activities. One bathhouse serves all campers, and WiFi is available though connection speeds are slow. For additional options, see camping near Hodges.
