South Eden Campground

Away from all the crowds, had the beach mostly to ourselves. It’s not a big campground, but the campsites can accommodate bigger groups. It’s pretty bare so bring some shade and your sunscreen. Water and power at all sites. Bring your water shoes as the beach has sticks and is rocky. Pit toilets. Fire ring. We loved our time here. Didn’t see the hosts at all. Little secret, shhh, campsite #7. You’ll thank me later.

Not much shade. The beach is rocky so you should wear shoes in the water. There is some lawn but it's crusty patchy (in July). Non-flushing toilets but they do have power and were clean. There is water and power at each site (50A and regular AC). They also have fire pits with a hinged grill and a metal picnic table. Not too many mosquitoes (probably because there were so few trees).

Good location for the camping with plenty of space on each campground site. But because of strict rules and angry hosts would not recommend it or go back there. The host will run after you for any little mistake not following rules. We are all human beings not a robots. We have not received any complaints from our neighbors , everyone was pleasant and followed the rules . But when we made mistake, we were treated like criminals. It would be nice to be treated with respect. This location is good for kids and family gathering. Almost every campground had a dog and it pet friendly place. We camp quite often and this is based on the experience and treatment of hosts of other campgrounds.

Avoid this campground summer 2018 The State Park website mentioned road work on Cisco Road but . . . The last four miles to the campground (from Laketown) is extremely rough and dusty. Then once in the campground you are only about 50 yards from the road that is undergoing major construction. It's like camping in the middle of a major construction project. Aside from the road construction (and the heavy smoke throughout the area) it's not a very nice campground. The lower section (lakefront) are the best sites. The sites are very large (48 feet wide) but the front 30 feet are in a dip about 2 feet lower than the back section. The site is a mix of gravel, grass and weeds and there's a water outlet on every other site.

This has some wonderful views across bear lake. We went in mid September. It was chilly and too cold to swim. But it was sooo peaceful and beautiful. We had two wonderful peaceful days of rest and relaxation.
