Beautiful campground with plenty of trees and shade. Only a 15 minute drive to the Bear Lake North Beach turn off (another 10 minutes to the beach) and minutes from Minnetonka Cave. I would suggest a few fixes. Neither water spigots near site 16/17 and 14/15 were working. We needed to walk to the group site for water which made for a heavy carry back. And the water pressure at the group site was minimal at times. The lock on the vault toilet needs to be repaired. But we loved the site and would return.

Great campground. A couple places to put tents, had a metal picnic table, fire pit, and pole to hang lantern on. Pit toilet in a small building 50 feet away, along with a tap nearby, both shared with campsite 16. Flush toilets and sink are at the entrance of the campground, where the camp hosts are. A lot of things were unclear- we didn't know whether we had to verbally check in and out with the camp hosts, or if we didn't need to do anything. Also, this website says we can have two cars, and each additional car is $5, with a max of six cars. However, a small sign at our campsite said first car cost $20, and the second $5. We weren't fined to my knowledge, so I don't know if this is an old policy or not. The pit toilet nearby was also locked until the late morning of our second day, and the water was only on the second day. Maybe this was because we didn't verbally check in. Not sure. No service at the campsite as expected, and remember this is a pack in/pack out facility, NO TRASH CANS! There is a big blue public dumpster on the way there, though. Firewood for sale $8/bundle from camp hosts. Beautiful area.

Beautiful Campground.Vault toilets well maintained.Could use better signage to direct campers to proper reserved campsite, other than this, a 5

Lovely spot with easy access to Bear Lake. The Porcupine campground had access to drinking water, running-water toilets, and pit toilets. There is a post at every campsite to hoist a lantern on to illuminate a table. The mosquitos were relentless in the evening and morning though, which is my biggest complaint.

@JonathanG61769 · Camped on Jul 11, 2023 at Campsite #2

Potable water was shutdown for a full day when we needed it- but unknown why. Bathrooms hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Mosquitos were bad (no one’s fault)

@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Jul 10, 2023 at Campsite #16

The water quit working at all the spigots in the campsite. Fortunately we were leaving, but not having water in the middle of the summer is a issue. Hopefully this gets repaired soon.

Beautiful campground. Campground host so nice and helpful. Perfect spot to stay before visiting the cave. Everything was immaculate.

The space we were orig supposed to have covered in snow. Moved to #5 but could not get in due to tree and ledge, went to #4 and our fire pit was full of water. We used another. Wasn’t crowded. Nice campground, wrong time of year. Will try a different weekend in the fall next year.

Most sites were reserved during these dates but several had “No Shows” thereby potentially locking others out of a great camping experience. Hope they are charged full amount and receive no refund.

The campground host was literally the best host we've ever had. She was super willing to help us out, accommodated our group needs, and even gave us some firewood when the campground supply ran out. The whole area was beautiful and we were very glad we chose to camp there. Thanks!

This is not a group site. It has room for 2 campers and that's all.

@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!!!
