BEAR LAKE CAMPING AND PICNICS

Over 800 camping and picnic sites are offered throughout the Bear Lake valley by businesses, the Bear Lake State Parks of Idaho and Utah, and the Cache and Caribou National Forests.

Over 500 developed campsites are dotted around Bear Lake offering full hook-up sites and tent sites (many also have electricity, water and even showers). Over 300 additional campsites are located in the many scenic canyons that empty into the Bear Lake valley. Picnic areas are found almost everywhere you look.
