Bear lake

This campground isn't the best but isn't the worst. the campgrounds fill up fast. I got here at 7 in the morning and there was a line already. There is fire pits, restrooms, lake and a water pump. I would recommend wearing bright colors because there is bird hunters looking for grouse. You wouldn't want to get shot.
