Great place to stay but very expensive in my opinion! $68 plus tax for the 2025 season. We stayed in mid-May and the weather was great! Lots of open spaces and the pull through spots were great. The bathrooms were super nice and clean, the showers were hot and great pressure.

We are traveling in our 5th wheel and it’s our first time in McCall. We arrived without a reservation at 8pm and easily selected space 34 on the end. The rv park is lined with trees and easy to maneuver. We had a table and fire pit/bbq. It was pricey at $68/night IMO but other rv parks were more expensive. We didn’t get to use much of the amenities since we were traveling through. They had a food... We are traveling in our 5th wheel and it’s our first time in McCall.

It was pricey at $68/night IMO but other rv parks were more expensive. We didn’t get to use much of the amenities since we were traveling through. They had a food truck and nice picnic tables. Nice small grassy dog area. There are monthly tenants. The hwy 55 is nearby and not too noisy. Bathrooms were clean. Was a nice stop for a night but next time I think we’ll explore another park.

We met my parents here, them from Oregon, us from Utah. This was our first RV campground ever in 6 years of camping. I can’t make comparisons because of that, but this campground was awesome! All the horror stories I hear of being in campgrounds didn’t happen here. It was as quiet as an RV park could be. The owners are awesome and Stacey hooked me up with a great place to fish.

I can’t make comparisons because of that, but this campground was awesome! All the horror stories I hear of being in campgrounds didn’t happen here. It was as quiet as an RV park could be. The owners are awesome and Stacey hooked me up with a great place to fish. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days here. We only went into the bathrooms right before we left as we dumped the tanks, and we thought they looked very clean and well kept. The little general store was nice to grab ice and beer from and had essentials for trailer life. The location was great, plenty of mature trees for additional shade and the property well maintained. We would definitely come back and stay at the Black Bear RV Park. We would highly recommend this park as a great place to stay.

Friendly staff, showers were great with lots of pressure. Bathrooms were clean and fairly close to where we were camped which was as far away as we could be. The WiFi was pretty poor is our only problem.

One of the best parks we've stayed at, and the best park laundry room we've ever seen with high efficiency machines and plenty of table space. The owners are very friendly and have done extensive work on the entire facility. It is clean and tidy and there are many new trees planted in the newer sections. Great job!
