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.
