Lovely place to spend time
BEAR'S DEN
Clean, clean, clean! Such a nice property. The hosts were very accommodating. They reccomened places of interest in the area. And even gave us a small history lesson of the area. The cabin was so well kitted out! Games for kids and adults, too. Lots of extras! They plan on adding a dish washing station and a camp store.

As always, we had a great stay here this weekend. Brian and Misty truly make this rv park a pleasure to stay at. We loved seeing all the birds the feeder brought in and loved seeing the chipmunks too. Park is clean and all hookups work great. Well thought out park.

Barker Gap was a perfect stop for us. We had our 2 dogs. The campsite is beautiful. Picturesque. Lots of trees and very peaceful. We enjoyed our trip very much. The Hosts were very kind and helpful. Answered questions quickly. I would highly recommend. I love how small it is as well. Sites had plenty of room and nice level spots.

We loved this campground. Liked how quiet and small it was. The spots were very well maintained and level. Lots of room for camper and sxs. WiFi actually worked. Picnic table would be the only thing that would be great to have. Owners even reminded us about the temperatures dropping below freezing, so we would not forget about our water hose.

Brian was very responsive, super accommodating, and the space was clean, beautiful and just what we needed! Our friends had a camper and we got Bears Den cabin bc we don’t so it was perfect. The check out day was the prettier day and he let us hang and not rush. It was very much appreciated and he was one of the best hosts with communication! Thanks Brian!

Folks, I can't recommend Barker Gap and Brian enough. I just completed a couple day stay in Site 1 (just me and my dog), and the grounds were immaculately kept and very spacious, the scenery was gorgeous and the hospitality shown by the host (Brian) was off the charts. If you're visiting Brian's neck of the woods, stay in one of his cabins or do like I did and set up the ol' glamper in one of their 3 RV sites. I make you this promise... you won't regret it. Can't wait to come back, wife in tow this time.

The wife and I loved staying here in our RV. The sites are nice, wide and level. Nothing more you could ask for in a campsite. Very close to Buckhorn trails with lots of riding straight from camp. The hosts are the best! Highly recommend staying here if you're in the area or planning to ride Buckhorn.
