Bear Lake Venture Park

Water access at Bear Lake draws most visitors to this privately managed campground in Garden City, Utah, where boating, swimming, and fishing are the main draws during the May through October season. The lake itself sits across the main road, so reaching the water means loading up the car and driving to the marina, the Bear Lake State Park Campground, or one of the smaller beaches farther up the road. The highway runs at 50 mph with no sidewalk, which makes walking or biking to the water impractical, though a bike path is available about two miles down the road.

The campground has two distinct site types. Deluxe RV sites provide more space and privacy, while standard sites are arranged in a loop alongside tent sites. Full hookups are available for rigs up to 55 feet, including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station and WiFi. Cell coverage varies: AT&T users typically get three bars, while T-Mobile signals are weak even with a signal booster.

Wayne E. describes the grounds as "very clean all over," a sentiment echoed across multiple reviews. Staff responsiveness and well-maintained restrooms and showers come up consistently. Sites are noted as easy to back into for RV campers. Pets are allowed with a $5 per dog fee. Campers exploring places to camp near Garden City will find this area busy in peak summer weeks, so booking ahead is advisable.

Nice deluxe RV sites

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. The park is across the main road from the lake with no direct access so you’ll need to pack up the car and drive to the marina, state park or one of the smaller beaches down the road. The speed limit on main road is 50 and there isn’t a sidewalk so it’s not great for running or biking. There is however a nice bike path about 2 miles down the road. The water at Bear Lake is absolutely stunning! Clear and turquoise blue - we recommend driving up the road to the North beach in Idaho!

Hidden Oasis

We absolutely loved staying this park. The park is very well maintained. The restrooms, showers, campgrounds, and park area for the kids were in amazing condition. 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.
