Family owned park we've been going to for years for family reunions. This park is beautiful! The staff is amazing. The animal petting park, volley ball area and open areas are great! The facilities are clean and inviting. We love coming back year after year. :)
Had a great time at Bear Lake Venture Park this last weekend. The trailer site I was in had plenty of room. The staff was friendly and helpful. Campground is dog friendly as long as they are leashed. The playgrounds/volleyball area keep the kids busy during downtime.
Each site has a strip of grass with a picnic table and firepit along with full hookups at trailer sites. The bathroom was clean and showers had plenty of warm water.
Weekends the campground is full so make reservations in advance but sunday afternoon, monday and tuesday we almost had the place to ourselves. Minnetonka cave is close by and is a worthy trip when not at the lake. Wifi was at times spotty but I was still able to make international calls via WhatsApp every day.
We'll definitely stay here again.
We’ve been coming here for years now, it keeps improving every year, this year they added fenced in private campsites. we always love that there is Pickleball courts and parks for the little kids. They are so family friendly and always accommodate our large group we highly recommend.
Awful experience here! Not only did they have rats the size of squirrels, but they also had mouse traps around the campgrounds which is very dangerous for kids and pets. We told them within 1 hour of getting there because we noticed these things right away, and they said “they didn’t know anything about this”. They wouldn’t even issue a refund because it according to them it wasn’t an extreme situation, guess you have to wait for someone to get injured for them to consider it an extreme situation.
We have stayed here 3 times over the summer of 2023. It's a nice RV/tent campground north of town, so it's not super busy like the other ones in downtown Garden City.
The hosts have been wonderful, and the park is really clean. There are on-site restrooms with showers, laundry; a little store for ice, snacks, souvenirs, and firewood. No WiFi, and cell phone service isn't very good, but that's okay as you are camping. :-)
Only complaints are deluxe spots with the little yard and picnic table (nice by the way) are $95 nightly, and the crammed other spots are about $45-60 nightly. Crammed meaning you're parked right next to your neighbors like a parking lot.
Our first weekend was wonderful! Quiet, respectful neighbors... but our last two weekends were full of screaming babies, rowdy kids, and loud music. We'd stay again in a pinch due to polite hosts and a very clean campground; but the high prices and loud neighbors are a deterrent.
No beach or lake access, so you'll have to drive a little ways. Not really bicycle accessible either as it's far enough out of town, where the bike/walking trail doesn't reach it. Traffic is fast moving by the one way entrance and exits. So look both ways when leaving.
