Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Beartree. That said, the site we reserved ahead of time was supposedly a group site and is advertised as being able to hold 16 people. We had two pop-up campers and it was very tricky to get them both on that site. In fact, one was halfway off the side of the pad. It was very frustrating for us to find that we had paid for a double site when it ought to have only been considered a single site. If we come back, we will just go ahead and get two sites because that "double" was a joke! I have no idea why the campground people think it can hold 16! Even just with tents that would be next to impossible.

The campsites were nice and secluded with plenty of shade cover from trees and wood coverings. The sites have a nice gravel pads and fire pit rings with lantern hooks. Everyone we met there were nice and very helpful. I only have one negative comment to make about the loop we stayed on. I chose the site so we would be close to the bathhouse but it was out of order and it seemed to have been out of order for a long time. On the website it was not noted that it was not in usable condition. It would have been nice for the website with that park to be noted somewhere so I could have chose another site. With that being said we had a rather far distance to the other bathhouse. Distance wise, Bear creek was about 30 minutes from downtown Damascus but it wasnt a bad drive. Kinda curvy but your in the mountains so thats to be expected. You seem to be about halfway up the mountain and closer to the start of the Creeper Trail. The scenery was nice along the roadway to the park. For those wanting to be off the grid there seemed to be absolutely no cell phone service in the park. We might have got a little service near the bathhouse but it was nearly nothing. We didnt get to explore all the park had to offer because we used our time on the Creeper Trail but we cant wait to go back and adventure out to the lake and beach area. We will definitely stay here again.
