Many beautiful trails. Some challenging while others are a nice walk. We did the Mammouthmarch 2025 here and it was amazing. We saw hikers with their dogs and we saw some people with mountain bikes.

Just went camping at Bear Brook State Park this past weekend and had the greatest time. The park is so beautiful and well kept. The staff at the welcome building were all friendly. There's lots of trails, renting kayaks was so easy, and the pond was stunning. We will certainly be returning!

Another one night visit, so a limited review. Looks very family friendly, lots of playground and activity areas. Site #76, within view of the office/camp store. No hookups, so be prepared. This site is very level and fairly large, nicely nestled in the trees. Would have loved to stay for a couple of nights!

We’ve stayed at the cabins now, a third time and there have been so many upgrades. There is now a community room available with games and ping pong, and there is actually a small store at Bear Hill! It is a 20 minute drive to get to the campground store to buy wood and ice. Oh and that’s one direction. The Bear Hill camp store was open on the Saturday & Sunday and probably closed during the week.... We’ve stayed at the cabins now, a third time and there have been so many upgrades.

Oh and that’s one direction. The Bear Hill camp store was open on the Saturday & Sunday and probably closed during the week. So many great trails. The pond is so beautiful. The cabins are clean! I’m telling the truth. After 4 years abs 3 stays, the cabins have always been clean upon arrival. We keep them clean too.
