Bear River Campground (Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, UT)

Best campsite surprise of my trip. Small campground by the Bear River. I was in site 1, nicely secluded from the other sites. A bit of a drive south (~30 mi) if you are coming from the I-80 via Evanston WY. Many of the sites literally back up to the river. I was there mid-week near the end of July and was the only site taken, I found it hard to believe. There are postings about bears, but the onl... Best campsite surprise of my trip.

Many of the sites literally back up to the river. I was there mid-week near the end of July and was the only site taken, I found it hard to believe. There are postings about bears, but the only wildlife we saw were a couple of deer up the road and a mouse hanging around for crumbs. Two box toilets in the campground, very clean. I'll keep this place in mind as a hidden gem for my next drive through the area.

Only 4 sites on this campground and the road and sites aren't big enough to take a trailer down. This means that you're unlikely to find people running generators. This site is also only $18 a night, which is cheaper than several of the other campsites around. There is a restroom with two toilets, and a hand-pump water well next to site 4. The Bear River is right next to each site and nice to pl... Only 4 sites on this campground and the road and sites aren't big enough to take a trailer down.

There is a restroom with two toilets, and a hand-pump water well next to site 4. The Bear River is right next to each site and nice to play in since its very shallow. You might find it noisy at night, but I enjoyed it. I also heard what sounded like an elk calling out during portions of the night.
