Aside from lake itself, off-roading and exploring the mountain trails are another popular activity. There’s a number rental locations nearby which can lend out their OHV (Off-Highway-Vehicles) to traverse the area’s various geographic oddities for a reasonable rate.
Speaking of the geography, Bear Lake State park is extremely organized and easy to navigate. In fact, there are three districts of the park meant for different types of recreation. First is the State Marina, located on the west side of Bear Lake. North end of Garden City, one mile north of the US 89 and SR 30 Junction. Second, is Rendezvous Beach, on the southwest curve of Bear Lake. Roughly 2 miles NW from Laketown on SR-30 from the CIsco Road and SR 30 Junction.
And finally, The Park’s Eastside Areas- Eastside of Bear Lake, including First Point, South Eden, Cisco Beach, Rainbow Cove, and North Eden. Distances vary from four miles to 13 miles on Cisco Road from Laketown and the Cisco Road SR 30 Intersection.

Stayed in #14 which is small, but suited us well (van). Other sites tend to be larger. #13 is best one, with shade on the west side, a good level driveway and backs up to the creek.
Lots of ants and flying bugs, making it hard to stay outside for very long. #9 is also nice with a large spread and decent shade. There is one vault toilet across from #13, a little stinky but relatively clean and had hand sanitizer. Another one is adjacent to the entrance and it has 2 toilets each for women and men; hard to find, back into the shrubs between two concrete markers at road.
Lots of shrubs means sites are pretty private. No real hiking trails identified in the area means there is not much to do. Didn't seem overly busy.
Food aside: Had freeze dried mushroom wild rice risotto with Popeye's chicken nuggs and spiced up with lemon pepper and Italian seasonings, also used parmesan. Putting nuggs into bag at end of cooking time and stirring worked fine to incorporate them. Very tasty and 2.5 servings means very filling. Broke up astronaut (freeze dried) ice cream sammich and put into freezer overnight before putting into milk for pseudo milkshake with cappuccino mix. Not bad, worth trying again. Also had sweet potato curry with applewood chicken cubes (fully cooked packet), seasoned with garlic. A bit spicy but good. Freeze dried breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy good flavor but need to break up the biscuits before cooking or they are big and end up being soft on the outside but dry and crunchy on the inside.

Had the whole campground to ourselves. It is free to stay here after September 15th. We camped the 1st of October. Just a quick pit stop. Was a little hesitant at first because it seemed so far from the highway but it was so worth it! There are bathrooms as well but bring your own TP as this time of year I dont believe anyone comes to check on them. Also, no more running water either. However, the creek is lovely and we were able to have a fire and every site had a picnic table. Very pleasant experience.
Guide
Lovely campground with great showers, toilet and pool/hottub for a good price.

Campsite 148 We liked staying here because it's close to home and it is also close to gas stations and grocery stores. Our campsite had standing water right behind it so there were many, many mosquitoes! The traffic from the freeway was very loud and in the morning the trains would honk their horns waking everyone up. We will probably not stay again and just do day trips to the lake.
Traveler
Many good spots. Close to the road so you can hear some car which was no problem. Lots of trees. Shaded which is great in the summer.
Scout
Plenty of spots for rv/campers and tent campers. Had my own quiet spot with a great view of the stars. Enough Verizon reception to FaceTime with the family.
Guide(October 4th, 2023) Stopped here for a night on a road trip and it was the perfect place for some down time. There were still open spots when we got here late; we snagged a cool site with a small cave and a climbing route a decent way down the road. In the morning we hiked around some of the trails and explored the area. Even though it rained, it was a beautiful place to see some foliage! We only saw a few other people but it was the middle of the week and weather wasn’t great.
Traveler
We stayed here for the night on our rooftop tent. It’s very quiet, barely any people. There’s man made firepits made out of rocks of people who have stayed here. It’s chilly and very pretty around. Nice view of the sunset. There’s no cell service.
Scout
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.
Traveler
Just stayed for a night but in a sight directly at the lake. We were able to go to the lake easily and swim a little bit. Due to being late in the season it was not crowded at all.
Guide
Lots of families camping here. Close to town and lots of day use area. Campsites pretty close together but lots of grass and trees. Clean bathrooms and pretty neighborhood for walking
Scout
Tons of land, tons of campsites.. but most are "occupied" by empty trailers with no other vehicles or people around. There's empty cars parked on top of fire pits, no tents or any sort of life nearby. Felt strange.
This road is rough and very bumpy. Didn't feel comfortable "taking over" a campsite with things already parked there. Wouldn't recommend coming here.
Guide
We could not have asked for a more perfect spot. The views were immaculate, the sites were very spread out, it was the end of September and all the leaves were changing.
No notes. Can’t recommend this spot enough.
Scout
There wasn’t really anything else I. The area, and this was close to the Highway, so it’s convenient. We got in around 10:30pm and called the number to check in as it says to do on the website. Man was super friendly and it was easy to pay and get in our spot. My kids were afraid to open the door to the bathhouse marked “outhouse” because it was dark, and I laughed the next morning because it was a big clean private bathroom/shower! Nice amenities. Some road noise but not too much until morning. Electric to charge everything up and water to fill up. Worth the stop!
Traveler
Always love driving by the crowded RV campgrounds 5 minutes to a peaceful, very reasonably priced oasis out in the country. This was a random find for us we travel somewhat unplanned in general directions. Nothing amazing here except for serene peace and quiet.
GuideGot in around 945, nobody at the gate. Was and to have a choice of several spots for my campervan. Nothing with a killer view of the water, but I did have a nice view in the morning of the mountains. It was fine.
RangerJust South of Ogden with all your city amenities but tucked away in a quiet river setting. Lots of space, Full hookups and nice landscaping. No River view but you can go fishing or they say you can tube or wade in it. Shallow for the most part. Noisy jet air planes during the day on and off but very cool to see.
GuideEnded up driving this road up to Idaho to find a bigger spot and some solitude. Took the dirt road for about 30 minutes and got the most perfect spot. Nobody was near us and the view was amazing. We went at the beginning of June, it was a bit chilly some mornings and at night, so come prepared.

Private RV secured area with Rv laundry and shower facilities. Private fenced in dog parks in RV area separate from gas station. Showers are included in price of stay. Quiet area which is perfect. Back in and pull through available. Good hook up’s
Totally worth the money. Safe and secure.
Guide
We found a FF site right by the creek, close to the cold canyon waterfall trail head. The water levels were high so the creek was running pretty fast which made it loud but honestly it drowned out any noise from neighbors a it was perfect. Love the hikes, love the shade, just an awesome camp site.
Toilets flush! Just gotta bring a light
Close enough to drive to town for anything you might have forgotten.
RangerLove this facility has a resort feel. Has showers, bathrooms and laundry. You’re on leveled asphalt. Great Mountain View. This place is very nice for a Loves.
GuideFollow the signs to the "new entrance" -- but it's well marked and well staffed. The campgrounds are well marked, but we found that our site was actually accessible going the opposite direction from the signage. So we went around the loop but this would have put the utilities on the passenger side, not the driver side. So we went back through the loop the opposite way (be careful of opposing traffic and there's limited space to maneuver, but this is the only way to properly access certain sites).
The picnic table had a gazebo over it, but it was occupied by wasps. We weren't planning to use it anyway as this was only a stopover for us, but this is something to be aware of. 50amp service worked great which was important for both air conditioners to work on this 102 degree day!
Overall the camp ground was super quiet. Keep in mind that there are no in/out privileges after 10pm. If you leave, you may not be able to get back in and this is documented on the checkin documentation. There is plenty of good grocery shopping for supplies located to the north and south (I went north). Beautiful campground but the sun and heat are a little relentless so be prepared with good AC, shade/awnings and other cooling methods.
RangerNot very far from Brigham City at all. Easy to find and some roads are a little rough in the campgrounds. At least 30 established campsites with fire pits and lots of shade. A lot of hiking and star gazing available. No Services whatsoever except I have T-Mobile and I have great reception with the JeXstream mobile hotspot extender. No Creeks or water but a beautiful place if you bring everything you need. Didn't hear any shots but shooting is allowed, and you might encounter people on ATVs or staying up late partying but you live with what you can find!
ScoutNarrow road and short driveways, not suited for large rigs. Some sites are overgrown. The best sites are in the 6-16 loop. No trash receptacle but the Oregon/California Trail Center in town has one and an RV dump too. Campground is only about 3 miles from Montpelier ID. I had no cell signal on Verizon.
ScoutThere are tons of free site all up and down the main road. The only problem is it is busy if you leave on Friday plan to get there by 3 at the latest. Spots fill quick.

Park and Play location. If you read the review from someone in 2021. The building was built in 2019, along with new everything. There are seasonal contracts for Traveling nurses, military, contractors here, so you will see those types of long terms here. They get LOTS OF winter skiers for winter months and a lot of boat users for the summer because of the Willard Bay only a month away. The facilities are cleaned and get cleaned daily. There are events here from grocery bingo, craft classes, reading clubs, Tuesday game nights and Thursday game nights, free waffles for dinner once a month and muffins and treats and coffee for the guests daily during the summer month along with other things the host do. New manager host took over October 2022 and work their butts off. They even give goodie bags during the summer months. They upt the dog poop fine from $25 to $100 because they mean business. It's small and it's not a resort but they have outstanding customer service.
