Friendly, clean, staff drive around wave say hi and assure quiet hour rules are kept. Loved our camp spot, only negative cigarette butts were left on lawn so feel should have been cleaned up before we arrived.

One night stay. Clean and friendly. Wish there was a pool Here and not just at the marina KOA. Nice location

We've stayed at this campground several times. This year was a bit of a disappointment because we had booked a double site that previously was always fenced in & had a hot tub. Unfortunately, at some point, both the fence & the hot tub were removed, but it wasn't updated on the site when we made our reservations back in January, nor were we told about the change. Lots of staff living there also.

Bear Lake was not my destination so when I arrived with no reservations and your hostess got me a lace thankkyou. Thanks for being there for a traveler that needed a place to stay

Clean and neat campground. Needs more shade and KOA prices are becoming on the ridiculous side given amenities provided

We have stayed with you guys several times at the Trailside. Honestly, this time you could have done better. My friend and I booked " buddy sites" When we got there they had us in sites 46,47. Not buddy sites. we saw site 45 was open and asked the person at the counter to switch us there. He told us all the sites were "locked in". 3 days later 45 was still open. A little more effort please. Thanks

Caretaker is incredible! She answered all my questions, gave us pickleball paddles to use and made us feel very welcome! Bathrooms were clean and accessible. The grounds were picked up and clean. Wonderful stay!

The staff were super friendly and helpful. Despite the campground being full and being the 4th of July holiday weekend, it was quiet. Campsite and facilities were clean and well maintained.

We spent Friday evening through Monday morning there this past weekend and had an absolutely delightful time. It was exactly the kind of peaceful spot we needed to relax for a few days and explore the area around Bear Lake. Elane was an absolute gem; she is so sweet and professional. In fact, all of the staff we encountered was helpful and so friendly. Clean and friendly. We will be back!

As a holiday camper I felt very unwelcome. It was demanded that I remove my camping from the grass by an off duty employee that was not even in uniform, but the perm folks got to keep theirs. I also was harassed by several folks because I was speeding. I was going 6. I rented 2 spots and 4 cabins just to be harassed in front of my family. I am a VP of the third largest private employer in Idaho.

Nice enough campground but tons of better options in the Bear Lake area. Will pick a different one if we go again. People bring multiple vehicles/uhvs/boats & then park them so that they are sticking out into the main driveway. People also tie & leave their large dogs up unattended. This wouldn’t be so bad if you weren’t sharing the area with the campers next to you. No rules are enforced.

Thanks for the discount and the time! Highly recommended for family get togethers.

Very clean facilities. They made it easy when we checked in late and checked out early. Very prompt when responding by email. Not sure why they have a phone number listed if they don't answer it. DVD player was broken, but everything else worked and was as described. Very convenient location to get to the beach and into town. Friendly and respectful community.

We stayed in a camping cabin and found it to be clean and comfortable. Great place to be if you like fishing and boating.

What a beautiful area. Great friendly staff. Beautiful peaceful campground. Really good BBQ joint just down the street.

Clean, attendant helpful and pleasant. We were about the only non KOA people at the campground. The fee was about double what we paid at Cascade Locks and Bringham. Maybe a lower fee for those not plugging in nor using water nor sewer.

This KOA and the Marine are owed by the people and our stay was amazing. Joy was so pleasant and kind to help us get all settled in and ran us thru all the amenities between the 2 locations it made all the difference in the world for our stay. We will definitely be back next year!!

We stayed in one of the tent areas. There is ZERO shade. Some of the Rv places have abundant shade. The pool is usable but in another location (a couple of blocks away). The showers are fabulous, the bathrooms are great, and the location can't be beat. Easy walk to shakes, food, and convenience stores.

Great place to stay. It was off the main strip just enough to get decent sleep, but you also have all the perks of the other KOA that has a pool, etc. Clean facility. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. We will stay here again.
