Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah

6 ReviewsAdd Review

Water access sits at the center of what draws campers to Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah, a full-hookup RV resort on the eastern shore of Bear Lake. The campground gives guests a private beach and direct lake access, useful for swimming, boating, and paddling, though the beach carries a fair number of rocks, so water shoes are worth packing. Dogs are allowed on the left side of the beach, away from the rockier main section. Reviewers consistently flag the water access as a primary draw, and the proximity to the lake is hard to argue with.

The resort runs large, with roughly 200 sites packed tightly across the property. Space is at a premium. Multiple reviewers note the layout leaves little buffer between neighbors, and during peak holiday weekends the site density is noticeable. That said, several campers were surprised by how low the noise level stayed given the number of guests. On-site amenities include a pool, hot tub, playground, full hookups up to 45 feet, WiFi, and a bathhouse that reviewers consistently describe as clean.

Alicia V. notes the campground has "not as many amenities as the KOA (Bear Lake/Marina Side)," which gives useful context for comparison shoppers. Nearby alternatives include Bear Lake-RV and Epic RV Park & Marina, and campers researching camping near Garden City will find several options clustered along the lake. Nightly rates run $55 to $65, and reservations are available. Campers who prioritize lake proximity and full hookups over elbow room will find this resort worth a closer look.

Visitors often highlighted clean facilities and lake access with beach area. A long-term camper noted maintenance concerns since Sun Outdoors took over management.

Private beach with amenities

We liked staying at sun outdoors. It was a quiet place with about 200 spots. A pool, hot tub and playground.

You can walk or drive to the beach that I think is exclusive to sun outdoors

Too many spots

This location is good. Has grass at most spots and was clean. There are too many spots per sq ft. so everyone is really close together. Many amenities and in good repair.

4th July Weekend

Location is great to be close to the lake with full hook ups. The resort uses EVERY square inch so it feels very crowded. Our site was okay, but we were right next to the dumpster and shower/bathroom facility so everyone wanted to walk thru our site instead of walking around. It was surprisingly quiet for the amount of people there. The private "beach" was not too crowded compared to Roundevous Park. Their beach does have a lot of rocks, so bring water shoes and dogs aren't allowed. But if you walk towards the left side of their private "beach" there is less rocks and you can take your dogs to that side of the beach. Place was good for the 4th and the site was good (next time I would block off the shortcut trail to keep people from walking thru).

Has potential but past its prime ?

We have been coming here for over 25 years. It was a membership campground until about 5 years ago when Sun Outdoors took over. While there have been some improvements, it has been sorely lacking in maintenance. In addition, management doesn’t appear to have much motivation to enforce rules that made this a beautiful and enjoyable place to stay.

On the beach!

This campground seems like it is one of the closer campgrounds to the water. It's pet-friendly, has full hookups, picnic tables, and wifi. The nice thing about this campground is it does have a beach as well as water/lake access. Not as many amenities as the KOA (Bear Lake/Marina Side). 

The bathhouse was very clean. Did seem less busy than the KOA (Bear Lake/Marina Side).
