This is a great campground which will be even better when the water availability is restored. This is the second year with no water available at the campground with no advance notice. This year there was no campground host on site, so the restrooms didn't get the attention they needed. Individual camp sites were available at half price to mitigate the fact that there was no water, but advance notice of this would allow people to prepare in advance of going there. Trails for 4 wheelers, mountain bikes, trail bikes or side by sides were wonderful as usual and one can ride for hours in beautiful surroundings. Four wheelers, etc. can be parked in the camp sites which is wonderful. Huckleberries are even available in some places. It is a half hour trip to Bear Lake where water related activities is are plentiful. The group sites would be far better if they were combined into one site. Nearly all of the individual camp sites are adaptable to a good camping experience.

I originally was quite frustrated with having no water upon arrival and still paying full price. I contacted recreation.gov, and it took a bit of back and forth, but we finally got a resolution. They are refunding me half the cost of our stay! Thank you for your responsiveness to my concerns

Everything was great except one thing: The water faucets are not working and haven't for at least 2 years according to what I was told. If I was notified of that fact didn't see it. How about charging a lot less to compensate??? And notifying us? It is quite inconvenient to plan on having water when there is none.

I reserved all 3 of the group sites for our family camping trip July 24-30. I reserved all 3 sites because Recreation .gov says that group site 14 will hold 5 trailers and 25 people, the same with 16. 15 is supposed to hold 10 trailers and 50 people. These are highly exaggerated estimates so I reserve all 3 so others don't come and be disappointed because there is not room for as many as they anticipate. I recommend that anyone anticipating reserving these group sites, visit the campground so you know what reality is. This year there was no potable water available and I was not notified of this until we were there and it was too late to change plans. I love the campground, especially group site 15, but it is expensive to reserve all 3 sites just to keep it a pleasant experience for our family without others coming in and overcrowding the area.

We have stayed at this camp ground for several years and plan to come back. We typically use the group sites, #14, 15 & 16. I am very disappointed that the have discontinued to have dumpsters for our trash especially in the group site area. This is the only campground that we have stayed in that doesn't have trash dumpsters. We pay the same rate at others and they have dumpsters. Also in the ground site area the men's restroom was not available because it was FULL. I had to drive down to Georgetown and leave phone messages to the AuDi group that this needed to be cleaned out immediately. There as over 100 people using the group sites during this time. We were told that the camp hosts had requested it be cleaned out several times prior to our stay. This is not acceptable. I noticed another restroom down the road that was also getting full.

Beautiful campground. Peaceful and scenic. Cleanest restrooms I've ever seen.

We had a very good time with our family at the campground. We were in group site 15 so our stay was very good. Bear Lake is a good place to visit while at this campground. Some recommendations of where to deposit trash hauled out would be helpful since there is no trash service at the campground. The restrooms were very clean and well cared for.
