Campground Reviews

Jul 23, 2023
Grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Amenities are great and have something for everyone. Staff is fabulous! Location couldn't have been any better. Loved our stay. We're coming back next year! Only 1 complaint, didn't like the campsites facing each other, sharing picnic and campfire area. Great if traveling with another party, but not when traveling by yourself.

Great staff. Bathrooms are heavily used. Clean in the morning but need more frequent cleaning thru the day. Lots of fun activities. Picnic tables need upgrade. Need gravel for roads and electric sites to keep dust down. Rubber mulch in electric sites is very clean and comfortable. Fences need maintenance.

We love this campground! Always clean, well kept, and the nicest staff ever! Great spots, can't say enough good things about how nice it is camp at Bear Lake Marina Side KOA.

As return visitor were disappointed in the conditions of the bath house showers and restrooms. On more than one occasion we had no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towel first thing in the morning, this could be expected in evenings. Also showers were often very cold. Perhaps there is an issue with the hot water heater for the bath house. Conditions seemed much different from our prior stays.

There were many activities to do for the family. Bear lake was not far from the campground. The staff was friendly. Enjoyable stay .

We had a wonderful time. Spent the majority of our time on site at the pickle ball courts and the Gaga ball pit.
Jul 20, 2023
The bathrooms by the sports court were always out of toilet paper and paper towels no matter what time of day we went. We learned to check each bathroom before sitting down to make sure there was TP and usually only 1 or 2 bathrooms in the whole bath house would have TP. Also, the campsite next to us had 4 tents set up on their site and 3 cars. I wish the staff would have enforced policy

Fun activities are included, but it's pretty pricey for camping. Facilities were usually well maintained. It would be wonderful if they'd water more to reduce the dust.

Thank you so much for your feed back. We are working on getting another business to do it next year as the one who did it this year did a terrible job. Agreed!! Have a great day. Joanne

Stayed in basic cabin. Fun stay many activities, friendly staff. Only complaints, Very dusty with all the kid trains, atv’s, and dune buggies, need to routinely water down driveways. LOUD dune buggies rolling around late at night, security locks on restrooms why bother, never had to use code to enter. Many unsupervised children throughout campground particularly fooling around in the restrooms.

I am so sorry for your bad experience. We do struggle with the parents not supervising their children. Please accept my apology. Have a wonderful rest of your summer. Joanne Cates

Love the amenities and activities at this campground! Makes for a relaxing stay for parents and fun stay for kids. We are making it our annual trip! Only thoughts are that I wish there were more of the studio half bath cabins, as those are perfect!

This was our fifth year having our family reunion there and we are coming back next year. We all enjoyed Garden City, the beach at Bear Lake, the KOA and all the activities.

Campsites were ok amenities were lacking. Our friends had a cabin for 9 and could only get 4 towels for the group. Told they had to bring the dirty towels in to get more. Unacceptable for a six night stay. They needed more toilet paper, got one roll. Bathrooms were clogged . Dumpsters used to be accessible now only at the exit. Price for next year up 33% for RV 50% for cabins

Overall fantastic experience here at the KOA! Thank you for all that is done for the guests every day! We love the different events and activities. We had a couple of very cold showers that were difficult for our 11 month old. Not sure what a solution is for that but ideally luke warm water minimum is preferred with our baby…

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, very clean and well kept. Tons of fun activities for all ages. Will definitely be staying here again.

Loved the activities for the kids. They loved them and were super excited to participate.
Jul 17, 2023
The internet was not working half the time. Showers were cold half the time and we had to keep calling the office to get it fixed. When it was windy the dirt from the roads made it so we couldn’t get out of the tent

It's always a pleasure to stay at this location. The staff is always there to help with good attitude.

Our spot was in full sun in the afternoon. There was a tree preventing us from putting our awning out. Definitely don't recommend site #12 in the dead of summer. Too hot to be outside in the sun. Overall I wouldn't pay that much money to stay there again. Was disappointed.

We have been coming every year since 1990! We love the KOA!

Three years in a row we have stayed at this KOA and enjoyed our bear lake summer experience. This location has been comfortable, friendly, and enjoyable for our family. Sadly, with rate increases we are looking at other lodging accommodations for next year.

I Love this koa. This is our 4th yr coming. However I don’t think we will be back because of the price increase. If there was not such a high price increase this past yr I would be more likely to refer to a friend.

The cabin was great. The stay was great. The only thing that I did not appreciate was that I went to get the key at 10 minutes before 3pm (2:50pm) and the clerk said that I had to wait 10 more minutes. I couldn't get the key until exactly 3pm. Which I believe was ridiculous and poor customer service. So I waited outside 10 minutes. RIDICULOUS!!!!

This is a great campground. The only problem is that when I made the reservation, I discussed the RV spots that we have been getting the last several years. No mention was made that i had to "lock in" those spots to actually get them. My wife had some walking problems so we like to be as close to a restroom as possible. We ended up getting two spots almost as far away from a restroom as poossib

Fun place to stay at beautiful Bear Lake!

Everything was great. Wished we could have stayed an extra night, and were planning to after receiving the 50% off one more night, but the site was not available.

This is one of the best KOAs we've ever been to. Super clean and many amenities for the whole family. Mini golf, playground, bikes, dog park, swimming pool, wifi, fire pits and very nice outdoor furniture.
