OK Camp ground

Just arrived at the camp site, not to big, the sites have shadow from trees (not all). Restrooms are not really clean, water of the pool seems to be a bit dirty. Next to paid activities there are some stuff kids can do for free.

Tons of activities

Close to Bear Lake Marina and rentals and tons of great activities. Cabins, tiny homes, a variety of camper and campsites. Activities range from basketball, pickle ball, bounce area, mini golf, shuffle board, sand volleyball, and a pool as well as hot tub. Great bathrooms/wash house.

Cons: very busy but you can almost always expect that with a KOA.

Beautiful area

This was a top notch camp ground. They are going through a major upgrade. Many tiny homes, spots with private hot tubs and fenced in yards, great of you have a dog!! Nice grass dog park. ACS hardware and a full grocery store next door.

Beautifully developed site with all you need

We love this campground! There are a variety of ways to camp here, tent, RV, cabins and the set up allows for privacy. It really feels like a resort. There is an amazing playground for kids, swimming pool, and jumping pillow.

The area is stunningly beautiful and relaxed. 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.

Busy, not private but clean

I had never been to a KOA campground before but we were driving cross country and were tired. For $43 for a tent site we got a nice patch of grass and a fire pit. It’s clean and comfortable, but definitely a busy place. You are right next to your neighbor but they do try and put you in every-other site for space. Great bathroom facilities, dog park, amenities.

It really depends on what you like. We are tent campers that like forest service campgrounds so this is too busy for us. But a nice spot.

Good luck sleeping

Very crowded, very noisy (screaming babies (from 1 am - 5 am) within 100 feet of you: guaranteed), and very expensive.
