Again... WHERE ARE THE HOSTS? This was our second camping weekend of 2024 and, ironically, we'd camped here this same weekend last year. We like the area and the small size of the campground and that there are hiking trails nearby. What happened this year? We camped elsewhere Memorial Day weekend and were shocked to see that there were no hosts. By this weekend, we were already on notice and, again, there is no campground host. Fortunately, this campground did have reservation markers on the campsites, so we were less concerned about others taking our site. (Which was a joke in itself as there were only 4 or 5 groups the entire time we were there despite "reservations" for almost all sites. Seriously people...). But again, I'm concerned about the lack of hosts this season. We drove through the Geneva Creek Campground up the road and, again, no host. I think we were the only ones that bought wood in town and were the only ones to have a campfire. We normally buy local wood from the host. We also noticed that the campfire rings hadn't been cleaned out in who knows how long. I guess I'm just surprised. Just the presence of a campground host keeps people on their best behavior. The campground was cleaner last year when there was a host on site. They also sell local wood so that we aren't transporting bugs or disease. If you are camping at Burning Bear, know that there is no cell service and the water that comes out of the pump is brown. As long as you know ahead of time to bring your own water and firewood, then you'll have a great time.

Nice campsite away from the entrance, but very little traffic no matter where you are in the campground. Shaded midday but nice sun later afternoon.
Charcoal (burned wood from campfire?) was scattered in the grass behind the campsite. Looked like it was just chucked there from the fire pit. Dog got really filthy in a hurry because of that.
Cell service: T-mobile non-existent. Van has a hotspot through AT&T which impressed me by working here. This is out in the sticks so I expected nothing. Grudgingly have to give AT&T props
for this.
