    I've live in Salt Lake City for 7 years and before this weekend had never been to Bear Lake! We camped at the South Eden Campground, which is on the other side of the lake and MUCH less populated. It's a dog friendly campground as well! This is a smaller campground, some family sites and group sites, and you have to book these sites way in advance. I think our party booked the sites in March of this year for the June camping trip. The weather this year has been unique, and we had the most beautiful, perfect weather this past weekend. The first night was almost a little too chilly, but the following day and night were perfect temperatures. Breezy, sunny, and perfect. The water is FREEZING cold! Some people in our group went in but dipping my toes in the water and sitting by the water and catching the lake breeze was enough for me. We saw some of the most beautiful sunsets and the water is the most stunning blue. The beaches at this campground are rocky, not sandy, so bring chairs instead of towels if you want to sit on the beach. One of our campsites was very shaded, but the other was completely exposed, so bringing some form of shade would be a must.

    I absolutely love Bear Lake. The Caribbean blue color of the water, the storms that roll through occasionally, the peacefulness in the morning. We have been coming here since I was little and will continue to come back. There is a house on the east side of the lake that resembles the shoe house from the nursery rhyme "there was an old woman who lived in a shoe". When we were little there was a huge boat made to look like Nessie, not sure if it still floats about. The cows about scared the beejesus out of me in the morning when I woke to the mooing. I always feel like I'm not in the Midwest anymore when I go. Please go you will not regret.

    Checking in at bear lake, as a whole.

    I have mixed feelings about this campground. We loved the beach, but the campground itself could…read morehave been better. Last time we came we stayed at the South Eden Campground. We didn't know this one had been updated so much, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But the asphalt made it very hot. The beach being groomed was nice and having the gazebos and picnic tables were a plus. The water is very shallow in this area which is great for littles. I do wish they had a no-wake zone around the campsite as there was a group running through everyone on wave runners the whole time knocking people off paddle boards and kayaks. The tables at the beach were just metal, but the ones at the campsite were wooden and badly painted. They were beat up and pretty nasty to make sure to bring a tablecloth. The fire pits have very bad airflow which makes a lot of smoke. But you make due with what you have. Our biggest problem was none of the rules were being enforced whatsoever. Every night we were kept up well passed midnight with people and kids screaming and running around. Our dog was the only one ever on a leash and he was approached several times by off leash dogs. Just because your dog is friendly does not mean everyone else's is. I tried multiple different bathrooms, and they were all absolutely disgusting. I wasn't expecting anything pristine, but they were all well overdue for a hose down. This is no fault of the campground - but the bugs were terrible! (June 2024) Make sure you have tons of heavy duty bug spray especially if you go down to the water at night. There was also lots of mice so make sure you pick up your food and keep you garbage off the ground. Remember to be kind - you're in their home. And you really shouldn't let your kids torment them either.
