Beautiful 20-mile-long [Bear Lake](<https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/bear-lake/>) is the undisputed star at this KOA. Build sandcastles, take a swim or launch a kayak or paddleboard in the lake's remarkable turquoise waters. Boats and personal watercraft have an easy launch about 2 miles away. Take your off-road vehicles on nearby trails or explore the backcountry on a guided horseback ride. Explore the [local area](<https://koa.com/campgrounds/bear-lake-trail-side/local-area/>) in nearby Garden City, stores celebrate the region's raspberry crop with jams, syrups and yummy shakes, and the Pickleville Playhouse features a Western-style cookout with a family theater show. The Logan Canyon Scenic Byway weaves southwest from Garden City through mountain forests and wildflower meadows.

Back at the campground, relax by the campfire at your [RV](<https://koa.com/campgrounds/bear-lake-trail-side/site-type/rv-camping-sites/>), [Tent](<https://koa.com/campgrounds/bear-lake-trail-side/site-type/tent-camping-sites/>) or [Camping Cabin](<https://koa.com/campgrounds/bear-lake-trail-side/site-type/lodging/>) site. The campground features [amenities](<https://koa.com/campgrounds/bear-lake-trail-side/amenities/>) and [recreation](<https://koa.com/campgrounds/bear-lake-trail-side/recreation/>) including Kamp K9 for off leash fun for your furry companions, a playground, a jump zone, basketball court and a general store stocked with camping essentials.



Bear Lake/Trail Side KOA Journey

These sites are pretty dang close. This is a perfect place to go with family, because you basically share a site with the person next to you. We got to know our neighbors pretty good. Awesome place for kids. They loved all the activites available to them. Right close to the shops and ice cream shakes. You can ask for passes for the larger KOA down the street. This gets you into the pool and everything the big KOA has. 

Awesome for kids!

Smaller in size and way less amenities than the other KOA but way more quiet. If you’re looking to have a more peaceful stay, this is your place. Further away from the lake. 

Not as busy as the other campgrounds in town

Smaller than the Lake Side KOA in town, but guest have access to facilities at both locations. Really appreciated the quiet location. Cabins are new with TV (local channels only), microwave and refrigerator.
