Bear River Lake Resort

We have been going to Bear River Resort for many years. Was extremely shocked at how the place in now being ran. Apparently, after the fire, the resort was sold. Now, there is a price increase as well as a resort fee! I wouldn't mind the price increase & resort fee if they updated and had clean restrooms & showers. We never take showers, and now we get charged for gross dirty showers. They looked like they hadn't been cleaned all summer. (Clothing hanging, several gross soap bars on floor & window, paper towels everywhere) The toliets were all backed up and plugged with feces. Extremely disappointed, and paid more for the grossness of the entire thing. Sadly, our annual Bear River Resort camping trip will now have to be relocated due to the new mismanagement of the facilities

Been going here in and off for many years. Great location and was sorry to hear about the fire but it may be a blessing in disguise. Place was a bit run down and dysfunctional.

Back in the day, at this resort Bear River Resort, I had the most romantic experience in the world. He was on time, all the time. I know I will never forget that weekend, and can you believe I didn't even want to go because I barley knew Mr. Wonderful, bit soooo glad I did. So sorry to hear about the resort and the fire that took place.

Business Issue: Had to Cancel (with plenty of advanced notice) and they never issued a refund or even reached out. Understand that it's not much money, but still - that's not acceptable.

Went camping bathrooms were near hot showers available. Only seeing was the ground was so unlevel. We were on a slant which I observed many campsites on slants which makes it difficult to get in and out.

Camping resort burnt down 2 years ago but Rollingsmoke bbq was there with amazing food 12-7 and a band came from 5-8 had a amazing time

Love this campground can get packed though in the summer. It had a beautiful lodge but burned down. Not sure if they rebuilt yet.

I'll start this review by saying the campground and surrounding area is beautiful and we will be coming back as it's a close and affordable getaway from Sacramento, but I was very disappointed with our site upon arrival. There was trash scattered about and even a dried up pile of human poo with toilet paper everywhere. There was a beautiful boulder at our site but it smelled like urine all around. We arrived after the office was closed so we had to do some major cleanup before even being able to set up our site. We did enjoy our time there after the initial gross-fest though. Having access to the water so close to our campsite was a treat and the mountain air was absolutely refreshing. We got some rain our first night there too and were blessed with a beautiful double rainbow. The only other issue I had was with the receptionist who seemed very impatient and unhappy to answer my questions on the phone.
