This is a great base camp for exploring the park. With your reservation, you don’t need a timed entry ticket into the park or Bear Lake Road. It’s close to Bear Lake parking area which allowed us to beat the crowds (we did get to the trailhead by 5:30 still.) Sites are pretty spacious although there is next to no privacy from neighbors. Our site had some trees for shade/hammocks and a nice large tent pad. Bathrooms were clean with flush toilets, sinks, and outdoor sink but no showers. Our only small complaint was sharing Bear boxes between sites - I’m not sure how many are supposed to share but we had someone a few sites over come and stick something in the one basically in our site so we didn’t really have room. Oh well, there’s always the car.
