"Reviewers overwhelmingly love Bear River Campground, describing it as a small, beautiful, and surprisingly quiet spot right next to the river. Campers appreciate the uncrowded, “hidden gem” feel, basic amenities, and low price, while noting some drawbacks with bathroom smell and discolored well water. Many mention they would gladly return or keep it in mind for future trips."
