24mi from Richmond · 1 site · Tent, RV · Fish Haven, ID

Park your RV in designated areas and camp on 3 private acres overlooking stunning Bear Lake just north of Fish Haven, Idaho. This peaceful, off-the-beaten-path retreat offers unbeatable lake views, crisp mountain air, and plenty of room to breathe. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or roasting marshmallows by the fire pit under the stars, this site makes it easy to unplug and unwind. The site includes electrical hookups, porta-potties, and a handwashing station. While there’s no running water, you’ll have the essentials—just be sure to bring your own water supply. Enjoy direct lake access for ATVs, perfect for exploring the shoreline and surrounding terrain. Please note: during periods of high water, beach access may be limited. The beach is usually present at the 5,916 foot water elevation. https://www.bearriverbasin.org/reservoirs/bear-lake-area The walk to the lake is approximately 1,000 feet to the back gate, with an additional walk or ride across public trust land depending on current water levels. This area between our property and the lake is regulated by the Idaho Department of Lands and is considered state-owned public land, meaning we are not permitted to modify or maintain the path beyond our property line. As such, conditions may vary and the path may occasionally be muddy or difficult to navigate. While access may require extra care, we’ve personally made the walk with our children (ages 5 to 15) even in high water years. The lake in this area is very shallow for several hundred feet, making it ideal for wading and kid-friendly fun when the beach is exposed. There is no on-site boat launch, but public ramps are just a short drive away. Please note there are a couple of shallow ditches on the property that may occasionally hold standing water. These have never posed an issue, but we recommend keeping an eye on young children just to be safe. Also, FIREWORKS ARE NOT ALLOWED. With plenty of space to spread out and no crowded campgrounds in sight, this spot is ideal for RVers and campers seeking peace, privacy, and unforgettable views. **Off season dates 09/25 - 04/26 no potties or wash station available during this time. Only RV's, camper vans and camper trailers allowed. During winter months the site may be inaccessible due to snow**

This has become a great place for our family to go to get away for the weekends. The nights are absolutely beautiful and you can see the stars. You can hear the coyotes off in the distance chipping and howling. My kids love to ride their ATV on the trails and we go for hikes and just relax. There is one fire pit for use at each camp spot (2 spots), just please go into the trees and find some wood to re-stack what you have used and ensure it is out with water and dirt. I fight wildfires during the summer and don’t want to have to fight one up there. Plus I may be hard to reach depending on where I’m located. Learn more about this land: Our Bear Lake Bascamp is perfect for boondocking or pitch a tent and camp in our 5 acres meadow or find a small shady spot in the 5 acres of quakies and pine trees! Off grid camping! OHV trails (ride from camp), bring your mountain bikes or even just go for a hike. Located at the edge of the Caribou-Targhe National Forest, Montpelier Ranger District, Idaho. The sunrises are amazing and in the evening you can listen to the coyotes off in the distance. It is open in the winter for snowshoeing or snowmobiling in with wood ready for the fire pit! Recommend, that when you first arrive, build a small fire in the fire pit and the smoke will get rid of any of the bugs around. We get up there about 1 time a month and mow/trim the path, parking and work on the trails in the pines. Turn left at the smile face....When you see it, you'll know what I mean ;) Please be respectful of others who have property in the area as well. Don't climb over anyone's fences.

3. Bear Lake Venture Park

21mi from Richmond · 61 sites · Garden City, UT

Bear Lake Venture Park stands out as a unique campground with deep family roots, originally established by Bryan Booth, the owner's grandfather, in 1966 under the name Bear Lake Trailer Court. This rich history adds a personal touch to the experience, making it more than just a place to stay. After several years, Grandpa Booth sold the trailer park, but the property eventually became available again. Recognizing the sentimental value, Troy, the grandson of Grandpa Booth, and his wife Tonya seized the opportunity to reclaim a piece of their family legacy. In 2016, they successfully purchased the property, reestablishing Bear Lake Venture Park as a cherished family-run campground. Today, Bear Lake Venture Park is managed by the Booth family, ensuring that the campground retains its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to quality. Guests can enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area, with nearby swimming holes and a variety of outdoor activities. The campground also offers convenient access to local restaurants and shops, making it an ideal destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The smaller of the two parks in Caribou-Targhee National Forests, Caribou is a welterweight not to be underestimated. Just south of its older brother, this land spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, and is a crucial spot for supporting caribou populations. None of the animals here are bashful: bison, moose, deer, mountain lions, falcons, elk, and even black bears abound! Beautiful to snap shot from a distance. Just south of the forest, Bear Lake is a fun spot to take a dip after you hike one of Caribou’s dozens of peaks (Mead Peak and Hawks Peak have gorgeous views, as does Big Elk Mountain at the northern tip of the park). At the south end, you’ll find campgrounds, fast flowing creeks, and the Minnetonka Cave at St. Charles Canyon. This is a site to see, but it stays 40 degrees down there all year so be sure to pack a coat, even if you’re sweating above ground. When you’re done, stop in the charming small town of Montpelier, surrounded by rolling hills and full of retro grocers and kitschy eateries. Yum!

Beautiful setting! Hard to beat the location. The property is just as described. The pavilion is really nice to have and there was ample space for camping and kids to run around. The hand wash station is a nice touch. The stars were unreal on our last night when it was clear. Being right next to the lake really helps with the darkness at night. Enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to Bear Lake Basecamp!

The property was beautiful, very serene and quiet. The name is a bit deceiving as it’s quite a distance to Bear lake, but the property itself was very nice. We did rent out both sites which I think was the right thing to do as we like the privacy.

We loved our stay at Blue Haven! The property was beautiful, well-maintained, and so peaceful. There was plenty of space for the whole family—we even had a kickball game! Christina was quick to respond to any questions we had and made everything easy. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful time at Christina’s! Tons of space for us and the dogs to play. I think you probably could’ve accessed the water but we didn’t try. Bear Lake is gorgeous and we will be back for longer next time!

Weekend Trip to Lake VIEW RV Site

Christina’s land is beautiful and felt like our own personal safe haven. There is more than enough room for tents & people (we had 20 people/9 tents). We even set up our own volleyball net & had two places for fire pits to hang out at. The bathrooms and handwashing station was SUCH a nice benefit!!! They were clean and you can tell everything is very well taken care of. The walk/drive to the lake is a bit of a distance and you need to wade through the marshes before you get to the water which wasn’t difficult for our group but might be for others. This was a million times better and more secluded than staying in a state park or airbnb. HIGHLY recommend staying here! 5/5 stars for our group and one of the best camping spots we’ve ever stayed at!

Fantastic setup and location - such a great view! Everything was clean and nicely setup. Email instructions had everything we needed to know. Very easy to get to town for anything you might need. Other beaches and marinas are not too far away either.
