3600 ft up, cool & shady

We stayed on a Tuesday night at the end of July. At other campgrounds in the area the temperature was in the high 80s. At Bear Hollow, it was a wonderful 72°. The toilets were immaculate with hand disinfectant and air fresheners provided and plenty of toilet paper. US tons of space. No reservations possible nor are they needed. The sites are sometimes uneven and therefore better for fifth wheels or motorhomes rather than for tents but we had no issue finding a flat site for us with no neighbors. 5* for climate, shade and cleanliness. 3* for layout, privacy and inclines. The street is hardly used at night, no issues there.

Meh

We were the only ones camping here for a night in October 2020. Sites are OK, some pull-throughs, some tent sites, too. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table. Pit toilets were dirty. Good location outside Fossil but kind of expensive at $20 for no hookups and dirty toilets, plus it’s right next to road so there’s some road noise.
