Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge contains nearly 80,000 acres of marsh, open water, uplands, and alkali mudflats.

The Refuge is an excellent place to observe wildlife along a 12-mile auto tour route, as well as enjoying hunting, fishing and wildlife photography.

Came here for the poppy blooms and glory they didn’t disappoint! Roads were dirt and bumpy, but not horrific! Pretty stream, lots of shade.
First time staying here. Lots of nice shade and space between campsites. Occasional road noise from the highway, but not bad. Really enjoyed our time.
I love this little campground. Very pretty, lots of trees and most sites are pretty private with the tree cover. Campground host Stevie was friendly and kept the bathrooms very clean. My campsite was clean as well when I arrived. This is my go to close to home when I don't feel like driving 2 hours to the higher areas especially with current gas prices.
My husband, our traveling canine companion and I make this a regular stop on our cross country travels. In the summer, it's 10 degrees cooler than the valley. We chose a site by the stream to hear it during the night.
We stayed in sites 23 & 24 which were by the creek but a long walk from the toilets. Also, site 23 didn’t have much room for a big tent so we had ours on the driveway. But also fit our van and trailer. Just an odd use of space. Mosquitos weren’t as bad as we thought they’d be. Poppies were just coming out. We wished we were a week later. Quick drive to the reservoir though.
