There is no way this will fit a 45 foot camper like the #18 site details say. Fortunately after several tries we were able to fit our 25 foot camper and our truck without poking out into the road. Overall it was a nice site, but I think they need to go review all the site details to make sure no one is caught off guard if their trailer setup won't fit.Overall I would probably stay their again....just need to find one of the other sites which it would be easier to fit in. Some nice ATV trails were accessible from camp which made it pretty convenient.

Excellent campground.

@HollyW4F0E0385 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #GS3

Our campsite was double booked for some reason. Got a call the day before and had to cancel my whole group. Still haven't seen my refund

@EvanM8892211 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #5

Camp sites where filthy and can not fill trailer with camp site payed for water only get 5 gallons a day. won't be back to Emigration camp ground or any in the bear lake valley, same person runs the whole valley. you can literally park up the hill 1 mile in a paved parking area and camp for free with a bathroom.

We stayed in one of the group sites. It was great for our crew. Its close to lots of fun things to do and well stay here again. Gave 3 stars for:- campsite wasnt clean when we arrived. Garbage was left from previous campers. - bathrooms werent clean. Only saw them get cleaned once the whole 4 days we were there. - flies are unbelievable! The are fly trap bags all over. We added more and that really helped. - by one of the picnic tables there was a horrible smell. .. like a dead animal. We finally figured out it was one of the fly trap bags and moved it.

The campground is great. The new bathrooms are hard to get used to tho.

@GarretN3CE1550 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #12

The host was great. The campground was great. The hosts abusive drunk husband made the week miserable and scary

@Alexandri3EDDD · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #GS3

We love coming to this campsite every year with our family. It's so beautiful and close to Bear Lake. The bathrooms are super clean and well maintained. The biting flies were a bit miserable this year, so come prepared.

@CheriR4635755 · Camped on Aug 23, 2023 at Campsite #10

they camp ground was quiet and beautiful

@RondoEE264A0E7 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #6

Camp was well taken care of.

@ChantelSD4DF7B · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #5

Pretty campground. The hosts were very nice and helpful. We stayed at site 5. It's nice, but out in the open. There is shade, but the provided table is in the sun most of the day. This site is so close to another one, we had no privacy and our neighbors were loud and inconsiderate. We would stay here again in a different site.

@RobertP6375002 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #4

We have been coming here for years. But will probably not be back. We got to the campsite there is no water and the bathrooms were locked. We contacted the camp hosts and were told the water would be working soon but the mens bathroom would remain closed because someone had made a huge mess in it. . The womens bathroom was open intermittently but locked a majority of the time. There was one hole in the ground available for the entire camp. As we are tent campers we rely on water and restrooms to have a good camping experience. Also the hosts were not friendly or accommodating and at times were rude when we spoke to them about the issues. It seemed they were too busy entertaining friends to do their host duties and clean the bathrooms thus they left them closed. My wife even offered to clean them and was rebuffed. Worst experience in 35 years of camping.

@gregf7707217 · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #8

The bathrooms again were locked off and on all week. Was told the host that the forest service was aware but said they werent doing anything about it. BRING IN HONEYBUCKETS then!! There is 1 bathroom to accommodate 20+ camp sites and 1 bathroom to accommodate the group sites. Make sure to bring up water and heaven forbid you have an emergency to go to the bathroom, its a walk. Weve been coming to this campground for over 50 years, but I am getting tired of the bathrooms and water being shut off and locked. Beautiful place, just use the money to fix the dang bathrooms since you charge so much already.

@LarryC7765348 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #13

Such a great campground!

@HeatherB577142 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #GS1

The group site was good, the out houses were cleaned during our stay. The thing I didn't like is the campground kept sending me emails to update my info, I booked 7 months early. And when I finally did update they charged me 60 more dollars, even though I had already paid the full fee of my stay 7 months earlier. When I tried to get a refund, I was told they increased the nightly cost by $20 a night. Why should that affect my already paid for stay? So don't respond to their emails. And beware of dishonest price policies.

@RyanG9772017 · Camped on Jun 20, 2023 at Campsite #GS2

Awesome place for our group. Restrooms were cleaned daily

@BrandonW160403 · Camped on Jun 16, 2023 at Campsite #GS1

Camp hosts were wonderful! The bathrooms were kept clean, and while the weather wasn't great, the site drained well, allowing us to dry out.

@TimH9025603 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #13

We chose this campground because we enjoy ATV riding and there is a trailhead which can be taken directly out of the campground. The area is beautiful and the campground was nice although some of the camp spots could have been better groomed with minor things such as cutting down and removing dead and dry pine trees that distracted from an otherwise nice and inexpensive area to stay. The camp host was a bit odd in his introduction upon our arrival by asking us to keep an eye on any 4-legged pets and keep a leash on any 2-legged pets (children). This seemed odd since there were no kids in our group (3 spots reserved for 8 adults - 6 of us over 50 years old). We shrugged it off as a poor joke and moved on with our planned activities. The next morning the host approached and accused me of riding a machine off-trail and making new access into our camp spot. I assured him that I didn't do that and that it and explained that it is a well worn path which existed long before our arrival (cut down trees and trampled grass worn to dirt in some places). He somewhat accepted that and then moved to another topic by asking about a problem we had the prior day with one of our ATV machines. I told him not to worry and that we would have addressed on our return home. He then asked again about the problem "out of curiosity" and had to be told that this was not his concern. We enjoyed the area and had a couple of great rides on what seemed to be an endless trail system from Soda Springs to Franklin basin. We did find that dry camping is available on trail #401 coming out of Ovid. We may try that option when in the area the next time.

The camp Host was Great! Told us about things we didn't know about,The trails and where they were We have already booked next year.Only wished we could have got group site 3 instead of group site 1 Thanks again KJ

@BillB9731077 · Camped on Jul 27, 2022 at Campsite #12

A beautiful and pleasant campground. The only negative thing is that several of the campsites are not as long as described on the website.

@HaileyL8973240 · Camped on Jul 26, 2022 at Campsite #3

Most of the bathrooms were out of order :(

@LidvinK2839587 · Camped on Jul 25, 2022 at Campsite #19

Nice and peaceful, restrooms were clean. Great camp host

@JeweleneC37918 · Camped on Jul 4, 2022 at Campsite #GS3

The pavilion was dirty. It was not cleaned or set up nicely before we came so we did not use it to eat in. We had to clean it up before we could have our dance party. The restrooms in camp were dark and decrepit. They really need to be renovated like the restroom closest to the front. The mosquitos were really awful this year, but other than that I appreciated the camp host who cleaned up the restrooms each day. It would be a lovely location if it was renovated.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
