Bear Lake Marina Side is our favorite KOA. We visit every year with family to enjoy all the campsite has to offer and Bear Lake. Front desk/employees are always happy and helpful! Big new grocery store is just around the corner.

We participated in a lot of the activities offered at the Koa. Swimming, tye dye, treasure and scavenger hunts, panning for gold, rented bikes. We had a great time and we will certainly return

Great, other than we almost didn't get the spot we asked for last year and reserved.

The stay was pretty good overall. I don’t like some of the changes implemented by new ownership. The bathrooms were dirtier then I have ever seen them and there was less staff taking care of them. I don’t like the new higher fees if you want to choose your site. And I really don’t like that you can no longer put a tent on your cabin site. Very disappointed with these things.

Perfect for a Family lots of activities love the clean new bathrooms.

We didn't use the park facilities much but when we did the bathrooms by the cabins we dirty and the shower shelf was slimy. The newest bathrooms the hot water didn't work. The grounds seemed to need some attention also with weeds.

We stay here every year, it has become a cherished family tradition as a central location to all Bear Lake has to offer.

We had a fabulous pull through site with a covered patio, BBQ and fire pit. The only issue we had was that we had booked our stay back in January at one rate, but when we got to the campground they charged us a higher rate. If not for the eagle eye of my brother, we would not have caught it. They did correct it and refunded us the difference so all was well.

Put us in a 30 ft spot and we have a 36 ft trailer. No where to park my truck except on part of the grass. 30 amp service asked for a 50 amp? Spot was #53. Looked like there were some nice spots in the park we just didn’t get one of them. We ended up leaving a day early.
Jul 31, 2022
So when I booked it was at a different rate than what I paid for so I didn't like that I was charged 45 bucks more than expected. Like the new fire pits, miss having someone escort you to your site as there were a lot of confusion. Bathhouse was super hot Mayne some fans would be good investments. But other than that nice facility.

We stay here annually, it’s well kept, people follow quiet hours well, staff friendly, however this is the second year that we had reserved a year ahead but on arrival they charged us the increased prices. Had I not noticed they just keep the amount above my reservation. This year I brought it to their attention and got a refund, but had to return for an additional $29 missed, CHECK YOUR BILL!!!

We had an adjoining site with our daughter. Us, in a Class A motorhome, she has an A-Liner pop up. We had a common area which gave us two pinic tables one shaded in the morning, the other shaded in the afternoon. The campground was clean and the site was level which in our 5 week travels and using other KOA's, we didn't always get a level site.
Jul 28, 2022
prices have increased to the point we can rent a whole house instead of staying at the KOA. Since Corporate took over there are fees for everything. After 10 years don't know if we will be back next year, we did not make any reservations. WiFi was out day one and power was out the next day.
Jul 28, 2022
We had such a fun stay! There was tons for everyone to do, it was quiet, and the staff was all very friendly! We will be back.

There were a few employees that were not so nice. Most were very friendly but there was two that could work on their social skills.

As ussuall it was perfect , Joanne is the best , she is very much on top of things and helpful . Beh , Mike and Elly were awsum all so . This KOA is the cleanest and best kept campground .

Unhappy about “grassy sites” that were just dirt. Seen other areas being watered and maintained. Understand we’re in a drought, but even one to two weekly watering would not kill all the grass and creat just dirt. Other then that the facility was clean and our kids enjoyed the activities.
Jul 22, 2022
We did not like it at all! The sites and cabins are wall to wall. No privacy at all! Very little room to breathe. We stayed in a trailer and our doors faced the other trailer doors right in front of us. Picnic tables were also right next to each other.

I am so sorry for your unhappy experience. Please note that Buddy sites are the ones where doors open to the neighbors site. Please feel free to call and ask for the manager or assistant manager if making further reservations. We would be happy to accomidate your needs. Joanne

This was our second year staying and we love it. The staff is all very nice and accommodating. We already have two stays booked for next summer! Thanks for being a part annual family tradition.
Jul 21, 2022
We had a great time but the water spigot leaked and we were missing a step stool to use the hot tub. All issues were addressed once we were in the queue. Management was very friendly!

Our space (85) was dry and the grass was dead. It was a very small strip of rock on one side and dead grass on the other. We had no picnic table. The signage was confusing and one person said we were in their space, but we were not. Other spaces looked a bit better. But most had dead dry grass. The staff however, were wonderful.

Our apologies, I hope we can have a chance to make it up to you.

Very enjoyable. manager was a pleasure to work with.

Great location, friendly staff, and can see improvements continuing. One suggestion, put a tank on the back of your golf carts and put a boom on it to water down the driveways. Lots of dust and this might help.
Jul 20, 2022
It was a very beautiful place but the showers were extremely difficult to actually get clean in and the bathrooms were very cramped.
Jul 19, 2022
The grounds were well cared for, but the showers needed to be cleaned more often, especially in the evenings. I felt like a sardine! Extremely tight campgrounds. My patio was in my neighbor's window. It was horrible. I thought it was very expensive and I probably wouldn't stay here again.

This was our 3rd visit to Bear Lake KOA. We went for a super site this time and loved it. It is super close to town and you can easily walk to the marina. Plus the raspberry shakes are amazing! I am sure we will visit again.
Jul 19, 2022
The biggest issue was the site. It was tiny. We got a corner and there was hardly any grass at all. It was like we got a 1/2 lot. This happened last year too, and when we asked if we could move we were told no. It’s hard to pay KOA prices to camp on a tiny patch of grass.

We wish you well.

Terrible experience. It is under new management and it shows. All the grass is dead on your camp site and full of ants and bugs. The bathrooms are DISGUSTING!!!! Mold, stinky, not clean, hair everywhere, not maintained. The staff at the check in office is extremely rude. Not only to me but also the people they would talk to on the phone as well.
Jul 18, 2022
Great stay! My only feedback is the opportunity to put a new layer of dust reducer on some of the roads or gravel, it was pretty dusty!
Jul 18, 2022
We love coming to KOA at bear lake and have great experiences with all the employees. However this time, my mom was checking in and let them know the reservation name but they couldn’t find our reservation. The lady that was assisting my mom was very rude she kept interrupting us when we would tell her the reservation name. She told my mom to “stop talking” she was very rude and unprofession
Jul 18, 2022
We enjoyed our stay very much. We were very impressed with all the activities that are available. See you next year!
Jul 18, 2022
Staff was great, a lot of things to do. Really Enjoyed it
Jul 18, 2022
Quite possibly the best run KOA we have stayed at. The staff and amenities were top notch.
Jul 18, 2022
Worst stay ever. We have been coming for years and have loved it. This year they were under new management and they were awful! We will not be returning and have already planned our new annual family summer trips for a new location. The staff was very rude. It’s stupid expensive now and extra activities have to be paid for. We paid $500 to stay there and then activities were more No thanks.

So sorry to hear. Best of luck in your future camping experiences. An just so you know we fired the rude staff members. my apoligies.

My prop got stolen in the overflow parking no security no piece and quite

We’ve always enjoyed our stay there for the last couple of years. The only advice I’d give is if you have others from your family coming in for like a barbecue that they shouldn’t be charged.

2024 update- one of our favorite KOA's for sure! Love this place! FINALLY got into the spot with the treehouse. So much fun for the kids and you have your own gate around the whole thing. Mini putt putt golf, hot tub, treehouse, firepit, picnic table and grill. Employees are always really nice and helpful. Way fun to visit during the summer! There is a jumping pad, kids play area, pool.

We camp here every year! It's a little more pricey compared to other camping areas but there is SO much to do! We also always go to the lake and the ropes course nearby! We enjoy the many amenities and the daily activities they provide and the grocery store right next to it for items you forget. We liked that they have a dog park and clean bathrooms with solid hot water that are always stocked. The only downside is how close together the trailer pull through sites are-you share lawn space. We do like that there are a variety of ways to stay here so we can include our non-camping friends who stay in a cabin. Great weekend getaway that will wear out the kids!

Easy booking, super friendly staff, very clean and had yummy chocolates waiting for us. The bed in our delux cabin was so comfortable and so many pillows.. I almost wouldn't leave the bed to go to the lake it was so cozy. Wood delivery to site, garbage pickup every morning. They even offered us 50% off an extra night. This is one of our favorite places to come and it is always such an amazing experience, Thank you so much❤️
