What People Are Saying about Bear Lake North RV Park & Campground

We've spent our annual family vacation here every year since our first grandchild was a toddler. He's driving now! We wouldn't stay anywhere else. The accommodations are clean and comfortable and the hosts are warm and friendly. They feel like part of the family after all these years!

Nice RV park with full hookups for a good price. The campsites are further apart than most RV parks. Nice grassy campsites and shade trees in most of the sites. The owners do a good job keeping everything clean and updated. We will stay here again!

We absolutely love staying here! We come every year for 4-5 days. The owner is great to work with. The campsites are kind of close together but there is a huge grass area to let the kids play on.

What People Are Saying about Bear Lake Idaho State Park Campground 

The upper segment has 30 amp electric service as well as water spigots interspersed that one can use to fill fresh water tanks. During the shoulder season(s) the CG is fairly empty making for a very peaceful stay. I especially enjoy relaxing outside and enjoying the view and serenity. We camped at Bear Lake State Park in a Travel Trailer.

We love Bear Lake and the beach access at this camp ground is fantastic. We love the shade over the tables and hook ups for our trailer. Very clean campground and has showers and bathrooms available.

They're isn't much shade, but the access to the lake is great. We like the East side of the lake better because it is usually less crowded.
All of the camp sites have electricity, but not all sites have a water hook up at the site.

Outstanding place for couples or family with kids, they have an awesome kids playground, plus a half court basketball court for everyone of all ages to enjoy.

Staff will help ensure a relaxing stay. Pool is heated but not hot, due to being in the trees there is a few floating items but gets cleaned every day. Creek runs through the front of camp. You can fish in it. Playground is adequate for children. Plenty of dog runs

This campground offers full hooks and many pull throughs or back in sites. There are a lot of large trees for shade and a running river along the campground. The cabins look really cute too. Our dogs enjoyed the little nature path along the river. Bathrooms are clean and it looks like there are lots of fun activities for kids. Free WiFi  and 2-3 bars on ATT. Overall very happy we stopped here for a night.

Nice little campground. The stream noise was a subtle sleep aid.

Small camp ground that is fairly close to the north shore of Bear lake. It is close to the road and it seems to have a lot of traffic coming and going from other campsites and Minnetonka caves. There is a small creek (St. Charles Creek) that is right by a few of the camp sights making it fun for the kids.
