Famous for its brilliant Caribbean-aqua blue waters, Bear Lake Utah camping is an otherworldly oasis nestled between the Utah and Idaho border. Vast and extensive soft sand beaches attract visitors from all over the world, who come to fish, boat, camp, and recreate in the outdoors.
Aside from lake itself, off-roading and exploring the mountain trails are another popular activity. There’s a number rental locations nearby which can lend out their OHV (Off-Highway-Vehicles) to traverse the area’s various geographic oddities for a reasonable rate.
Speaking of the geography, Bear Lake State park is extremely organized and easy to navigate. In fact, there are three districts of the park meant for different types of recreation. First is the State Marina, located on the west side of Bear Lake. North end of Garden City, one mile north of the US 89 and SR 30 Junction. Second, is Rendezvous Beach, on the southwest curve of Bear Lake. Roughly 2 miles NW from Laketown on SR-30 from the CIsco Road and SR 30 Junction.
And finally, The Park’s Eastside Areas- Eastside of Bear Lake, including First Point, South Eden, Cisco Beach, Rainbow Cove, and North Eden. Distances vary from four miles to 13 miles on Cisco Road from Laketown and the Cisco Road SR 30 Intersection.
BEAR LAKE STATE PARK – RENDEZVOUS BEACH – On the southwest curve of Bear Lake – Approximately 2 miles northwest from Laketown on SR 30 from the Cisco Road and SR 30 junction. This facility is usually open from late April through late October.

Amazing place for a weekend family getaway! We had a blast hanging out by the water which was thankfully still warm. Great spot to take out some paddle boards with the beautiful scenery and calm waters. We missed the famous raspberry shakes as most shops closed after Labor Day though. Still, can’t believe it took me so long to visit 😆
Excellent campground. Beautiful lake. Full hookups. Xfinity and T-Mobile cell reception. OTA TV was good. The bathrooms were clean. Covered area with picnic table. Great place for kids and dog friendly.
The east beaches of the state park camp sites need rock removal and some sand added. But that's my only complaint.
We love going to Bear Lake!
🏖️🤿 Beautiful place to relax and absorb the natural environment when you are looking to get cool during Utah’s dog days of summer. There are many spots where the sand is soft on the feet and great for building sand castles if that’s your thing. There are picnic tables, campsites, and day use areas; all for various reasons to visit. We usually make day trips here as a family, though have camped on the northern side rim. One unique attribute of this lake is the water clarity - you can walk 100+ yards out and still feel the bottom and see your feet! Enjoy! ☀️
This is a beautiful lake! I felt like I was in Florida! The water is clean and pretty warm as well! We had an awesome time! We were able to bbq and just seconds later run into the water. Great place to swim and paddle board! I would highly recommend bringing family here, especially if they are from out of state, they will love it as did we!
