The staff has been friendly and helpful, resort is clean. Though the resort is dog friendly, it is lacking a dog park or designated dog area. On hot days, walking on blacktop is tough on my pooch. Have to rush between grassy spots trying to avoid others camprounds to find a spot for her to do her business. That is the only negative to this resort, otherwise I would give it 5 stars. My SIL would love if they had a couple more cabins as they have been booked both times before we could get one. Plan on bringing more families next year.

Firstly I'd like to say if I could rate this zero stars i'd do so in a heartbeat…read more Our experience at Paris Springs Campground was unfortunately overshadowed by one of the most unprofessional and upsetting interactions we've ever had while camping. We had booked our site through the official website, fully under the impression that we were staying at a first-come, first-served site. Our first night went smoothly. However, things took an unexpected turn on the second day when we returned from the lake and were kindly informed by another group that they had reserved the same site. We were confused but respectful, and immediately began packing up to avoid any conflict. When the rest of our group arrived, we decided to clarify the situation with the camp host--a decision we quickly came to regret. Rather than offering an explanation or any semblance of professionalism, the host immediately told us, "Pack up or I'm calling the cops." This was said without listening to our concerns and while we were already in the process of packing. Moments later, he returned to our site and began yelling at us, escalating an already tense situation. We were stunned. Not only were we not given the basic courtesy of a conversation, but the host also made several false accusations--including that we hadn't paid for our second night, which was completely untrue. We tried to resolve the issue by offering the payment again in person, which he refused. In the end, we had no choice but to leave the money behind and vacate in a rush--so quickly, in fact, that our gear was packed haphazardly, and we fear some of our belongings may now be damaged. This experience left us not only disappointed but honestly hurt. We were treated with hostility, not as paying guests or even as fellow human beings seeking clarity in a confusing situation. Camping should be about community, nature, and peace--not intimidation and aggression. Due to the camp host's behavior and the complete lack of professionalism, we cannot recommend Paris Springs Campground to others. We hope future guests are treated with more respect and dignity than we were.

We stayed at this campground for the 4th of July weekend. It's a really lovely, quiet campground in…read morethe Cache National Forest. The upsides: This campground is surrounded by beautiful trees and greenery. There is fresh drinking water and lots of shade in the campsites. Each campsite has a fire pit and a large picnic table. The campground is next to a creek and is a short 300-yard hike from Paris Springs, a cool little spot to see. It's also about a 30 minute drive to Bear Lake's north shore. The downsides: Mosquitoes are present throughout the entire day. Bring lots of bug spray! The road to the campground is a 4-mile long dirt road which may get pretty rough in wet weather. Also, the bathrooms have pit toilets and do not have sinks or showers. We really enjoyed our stay here and would be glad to camp here again if we're in the area. I would recommend reserving your campsite online ahead of time to make sure you get a spot.

We just finished a four-day family reunion where we rented the entire facility (now there is only one lodge--the lodge with the pool has different owners now and we didn't miss it.) The set up is fantastic so that families naturally and easily gather around the tether ball and volleyball courts. There is a large, well-maintained grassy yard in the middle of the RV and tent areas. The lodge has an excellent, large assembly room for gatherings. We used it almost every night. There is a well-stocked kitchen that we all shared. Denise (the owner and manager) couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating to our large group. When cousins kept adding at the last minute, she let us get creative with sleeping arrangements. There is a large loft that the younger cousins used every night. They loved sleeping in a big group. Denise helped us with all the logistics of floating down the Bear River. It was one of the many highlights of a great reunion. She is kind and attentive to her guests. We are all agreed that this is one of the absolute best places for families to gather without going broke.

It is about 15 minutes away from Garden City and 15 minutes away from Bear Lake East. It is super close to Bear Lake North- it isn't on the water but the water is a 5 minute drive away. The parks charge an entrance fee- bring cash for the parks, no credit cards are accepted. There are paths to ride your motorized vehicles to the lake, and your bicycles. There is an extensive road for bicycles that is 45 miles long that is easily accessible from this park as well. The location is very open, and very quiet. Had it not been for the fires, the skies would be starry- unfortunately, the skies were covered from the ashy smoke drifting in from the Ca, Wa, and Or fires. We stayed in a premium back in site 15- it also had room for tent camping and came with a wood fire pit and three picnic benches. Why did I reserve such a large space? I don't know. My husband asked me the same thing- we enjoyed the space and the fire pit. The site was pretty level and easy to back our 29' (without the hitch, with it is 34') and we have slide outs on both sides (passenger and driver). The site was long enough to accommodate both trailer and our truck. They have communal showers and toilets. I only went in there to wash my hands. I noticed they have a dryer for use, paper towels, toilet seat covers, toilet paper and hand soap is provided by the owners for their guests. The showers are NOT free- they are coin operated (bring quarters) at $0.50 for 6 minutes. Very reasonable. There is a coin operated laundry room as well. I stuck to using our own bathroom inside our trailer because of Covid. I noticed a playground for kids, volleyball play area and a basketball court- good for kids to play. Check in time is 2 pm, check out is 11 am. We had some issues with our slide outs and didn't leave on time but the owners didn't give us grief- which was appreciated. Some parks can get very strict. This park is well maintained, lots of grassy areas- run by a nice family. It is also super close to the Minnetonka Caves! The trail to the caves is very scenic, with lots of trails to hike as well. I wish I knew in advance. We didn't have enough time because we only stayed one full night. The caves close for the season on Labor Day so if you're in town before then, I highly recommend that. It is also located close to Bear Lake State Park. The location is ideal for the north part of Bear Lake. Water is so beautiful. It was overcast so the turquoise color wasn't as prominent but I'm sure in the summer months you can really see the beautiful Caribbean of the west in it's full glory. We reserved online, but you can book it over the phone. The city of St. Charles has very a small town feel- lots of farms, horses, cows, and nice people. For those wondering about the measures taken for Covid- this town isn't really wearing or enforcing masks. For the record, when we visited in mid Sept, hardly any people. A lot of local restaurants were closed for the season. We visited during non peak times so social distancing was very easy to do. The cell reception was excellent- I have unlimited data with Verizon and streamed my shows and surfed the Internet with no problem. I didn't use the parks wifi so I can't comment on that. They do provide wifi for their guests though. We also brought our two fur babies. No official dog run, but lots of walking pathways to walk them on their leashes. We used our own doggie bags and threw in the main trash. Don't let your dogs do their business on the actual sites and tent area. I did not notice any breed restrictions here and they do not charge an extra fee. Just use your common sense and be a responsible pet owner. Overall, we enjoyed this quaint and quiet park.

Did they not keep up so that it would stay nice all year like it used to? It did have a pool and then they had the hot Springs Divided by how hot they were and yes, it had a sulfur smell because they're hot spring real hot springs! I remember some being so hot they were too hot as a kiddo. Why is that unavailable in the winner now? I learned how to swim in that pool well partially and my Bear Lake. This was before it became the tourist trap. It's changed. I mean from when I was a girl to to now what a different world. I can't believe they're allowing some of it! Bear Lake was known for its beautiful blue pristine crystal clear water's the Caribbean of the Rocky Mountains, now it's green! When I was young, you couldn't drive down onto the beach, you couldn't because the water was too deep. Hence why the old pavilions are up so high. I could see from my neck down to my feet. It was so clear and clean. It does dip to an angle and that dip goes yearly, towards the east side. It is always deeper on the east shore. 2023 there were some bugs that I was annoyed by and had never seen before! They didn't clear when I got the sea-doo further out on the water. I thought they would, but too many flying black tiny flies and algae blooms! Never seen before! They said it would clear up. The Airbnb folk with their septic systems are supposed to legally have them done, but some of them were dumping them in the lake. Gross! Illegal as well! Growths is good but destroying it is not ok! I remember everything being so pristine and so clean and so beautiful! Including this hot Springs building that I haven't been into for a long time. The lake has a natural ecosystem that works great before people started messing with it. The hot springs were awesome. We went there in the winter, not the summer for the Hot Springs. Who wants to go in Hot Springs when it's hot? I know Bear Lake back then in the summer wasn't as hot as it is now because of climate change, but still they're nicer in the winter. The one that they're showing outside makes no sense doesn't even look hot. I remember the smell of sulfur, true Hot Springs smell like sulfur when they're enclosed or sometimes when they're even open. The building has no hours and is only showing summer stuff. How many snowmobilers go up there how many people go there in the winter quite a few I do it every year in the winter. I prefer the winter over the summer now.

We liked the resort overall. Just like any place it is not perfect but a solid 4 stars. The good: the rooms were clean and pretty spacious, very friendly staff, bathrooms are top notch, access to a large pool that was heated perfectly, access to tennis (we did not use), nice location, and solid walls so you could not hear the neighbors TV or screaming kids The bad: check in time is only at 4pm (unless arranged for another time). I did not read the check in instructions so this was my fault, luckily the manager called and asked if we were still coming and was really nice despite my mistake. They do not stock the bathrooms with shampoo so bring your own, they do provide soap. Since the resort is circular it can be a maze to get to your room (I'm nit-picking here). We only were given one key so we had to coordinate a lot to ensure no one was locked out. The price was about what to expect when visiting bear lake in the summer over a very busy weekend so it was high but expect to pay that. Sure you can spend less down the road but you will not have access to a big heated pool. The kids and I loved the pool a lot. This was a highlight to our trip.
