We showed up to find that they did not receive our reservation from Expedia. They were booked solid so the owner called other customers who had yet to arrive and Somehow managed to accommodate us in a cabin. Nice little cabin with a water view. Very Quiet location.

This spot is beautiful, clean, and just what you need for a camping experience. We stayed in the A-frame cabin, which was lovely! You may want to bring your own bedding and pillows (although they did provide linens, pillows, and blankets), for extra comfort. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the location is gorgeous! Thanks for a relaxing stay!

Wonderful quiet camp on Bear River

We had an amazing 1 night stay. Arrived past check in time and communicated via phone and email approximate time of arrival. Was not a problem for Cathy. We were greeted by the kindest and friendliest staff. The little cabin was ok for my husband,teen daughter and myself. I would reserve a larger cabin on the water or awesome Domes they have next time. Soon a ship will be avaliable as well,Excellent,clean bathrooms close to our unit. There are more washrooms and showers close by as well. Office/store had camp wood,snacks,supplies and activities if needed.

We did not get the cottage we booked via Expedia. The owner explained the she didn’t get notice. She was really nice and gave us one obviously not ready for living yet: the door cannot lock and with holes, worms on the bed … The owner did provide sheet etc. that was really good since we didn’t know. Not sure who to blame? Expedia?

It was an amazing experience. As it was the starting of summer, my cottage was a little cold at night. But I believe it’s very normal; just I was not prepared. Definitely gonna recommend this place to my FnF.

We arrived after a long day and were turned away due to the power being turned off. No one was at the office - we had to shout around for 20 mins before someone helped us and then we were told we couldn’t stay unless we payed cash.
