"The overall drive to the campsite is just gorgeous. The campgrounds were flat and perfect for tenting. The walk to the beach is dragging."
"Bear lake is so much fun. There are so many things to do on the lake and in the surrounding areas. From boating to swimming and kayaking and other fun activities for the whole family."
"If coming from Idaho Falls stay on 30 Hwy till Montpelier then take 89 hwy to St Charles. If ya coming from Jackson Wy stay on 89 Hwy . If ya need Groc stop at the store in Montpelier."
"Public outhouses are available. if you are up to walking a bit the ones near the day use area are cleaner and used less. Beautiful lake."
$27 - $118 / night
"We have no cell service in the campground but you can walk to the road and get service if needed. Behind the bathrooms on the South side there is a little trail with a beautiful view of the lake."
"Sunrise Campground sites are immersed in trees to give you a surrounding cozy and comfortable feeling. Back in sites include a fire ring and sturdy picnic table..."
"The store next to the entrance is amazingly well stocked with all you’d need.
We stayed in an RV supersite that included a private hot tub and BBQ grill."
"Next to paid activities there are some stuff kids can do for free."
"Smaller than the Lake Side KOA in town, but guest have access to facilities at both locations. Really appreciated the quiet location."
"Everything is clean the roads to the mountains are around the corner and the lake is very close by as well! Good all around."
$35 - $55 / night
"Deluxe RV sites offer more space and privacy while standard ones are in a loop next to tent sites. Wifi is OK, T-Mobile cell service is 1 bar even with booster. ATT is 3 bars."
"It was a great location and the lake is not far away. I recommend paying a little extra to get the deluxe sites to have more space. You also have to pay $5 extra per dog that you bring."
"Super lovely with easy access to the water. No showers at this campground, but I was able to get one in at the other campground. Would stay again!"
"Again a awesome lake for kids because you can walk out in the lake pretty far before it gets deep."
$20 - $50 / night
"The tent was pitched right next to Saint Charles Creek. It is currently very high (6/2017). I was worried they may get their tent wet!
The camp is paved, so no dust!"
"There is a good amount of shade at nearly all the campgrounds and they are close to the creek. It has simple amenities like vault toilets, metal fire rings and picnic tables. "
"The drive there is beautiful all the way and my not-so-great clearance old subaru could handle the semi-sketchy roads required to get there."
"The location for kayaking is great but the options for put in were not super accessible without hills or steps."
$24 - $27 / night
"It has one bathroom area, and was right next to the Logan River. I only marked it down for small camping areas for tenting sites right next to River but would’ve been just fine for Campers. "
"Fairly close to the road. Could use a little more upkeep and price is a little high."
TravelerCamped with friends we had cell service via t-mobile, att&t, and visible with varying strengths. No cost, first come first serve. Bathroom is a about a mile from the coordinates. More campgrounds open in June, no service at them. Popular trail with bikers. Lots of traffic even late at night.
ScoutThis is a great campground, the host is really nice, it’s clean, has great bathrooms and a great view of the lake!
TravelerThis stop is nice, but not the prettiest view but super friendly staff. Electric 20, 30, and 50 amps available water and sewer hook up. Not much cell service, they did offer free Wi-Fi but was super slow. The area driving to it was beautiful. Good for an overnight while traveling. Cost was $50.00 a night.
GuideGate at entrance was closed. Looks like a potential nice spot though.
GuideOne of my favorite dispersed camping spots… You’re surrounded by sage brush, the reservoir is beautiful, and it’s very peaceful.
My only complaints are the wind and the OHV’s. Other than that, it’s a great spot to camp.
ScoutRoad to dispersed camping is closed Dec 1 - April 15. Permit fee is $10 for 3 days. We had a quiet ( only a couple of other campers further up) and enjoyable overnight visit but road was quite icy. So we did not explore far. Birds in caves in side of valley. Well loved trail starts a short distance up the road. Looks like a beloved student hang out in the area with picnic tables so you may want drive further in if visit in summer.
RangerStayed in #14 which is small, but suited us well (van). Other sites tend to be larger. #13 is best one, with shade on the west side, a good level driveway and backs up to the creek.
Lots of ants and flying bugs, making it hard to stay outside for very long. #9 is also nice with a large spread and decent shade. There is one vault toilet across from #13, a little stinky but relatively clean and had hand sanitizer. Another one is adjacent to the entrance and it has 2 toilets each for women and men; hard to find, back into the shrubs between two concrete markers at road.
Lots of shrubs means sites are pretty private. No real hiking trails identified in the area means there is not much to do. Didn't seem overly busy.
Food aside: Had freeze dried mushroom wild rice risotto with Popeye's chicken nuggs and spiced up with lemon pepper and Italian seasonings, also used parmesan. Putting nuggs into bag at end of cooking time and stirring worked fine to incorporate them. Very tasty and 2.5 servings means very filling. Broke up astronaut (freeze dried) ice cream sammich and put into freezer overnight before putting into milk for pseudo milkshake with cappuccino mix. Not bad, worth trying again. Also had sweet potato curry with applewood chicken cubes (fully cooked packet), seasoned with garlic. A bit spicy but good. Freeze dried breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy good flavor but need to break up the biscuits before cooking or they are big and end up being soft on the outside but dry and crunchy on the inside.
GuideHad the whole campground to ourselves. It is free to stay here after September 15th. We camped the 1st of October. Just a quick pit stop. Was a little hesitant at first because it seemed so far from the highway but it was so worth it! There are bathrooms as well but bring your own TP as this time of year I dont believe anyone comes to check on them. Also, no more running water either. However, the creek is lovely and we were able to have a fire and every site had a picnic table. Very pleasant experience.
GuideMany good spots. Close to the road so you can hear some car which was no problem. Lots of trees. Shaded which is great in the summer.
