Beautiful Campground. clean well-maintained plenty of space at each campsite. getting to the campground is rough. Coming from the north the road is very winding and I suspect that people with large RVs or Towing trailers will have a great deal of difficulty going around the turns. The road to it from the southerly direction is a nightmare of potholes and ruts. There was absolutely no signal on Verizon.
Beautiful camping site with a clearing and a lot of trees, completely Free, with little to no people. Not very many animals. Has bathrooms and toilet paper. There is fire pits to make fires and grill food. I would definitely RECOMMEND this camping spot!
Beautiful campground- nice OHV trails around. I came here on Ford Transit camper and took my dirtbikes to enjoy nearby trails. There is no coverage but Starlink works- little slow due to tree cover
Bear Valley Campground was a great location if you planned on wanting to do some boondocking. Its on a first come, first serve basis. We decided to make our adventure during the winter seasons and try out our 1st snow camping in our new roof top tent. It was peaceful being out there. No cell service and we were totally disconnected from the city life. It was a great experience and the campground was amazing. The restrooms were clean and just remember pack out everything you packed in, including your garbage.
