It was an amazing experience. As it was the starting of summer, my cottage was a little cold at night. But I believe it’s very normal; just I was not prepared. Definitely gonna recommend this place to my FnF.

Wonderful quiet camp on Bear River
We had an amazing 1 night stay. Arrived past check in time and communicated via phone and email approximate time of arrival. Was not a problem for Cathy. We were greeted by the kindest and friendliest staff. The little cabin was ok for my husband,teen daughter and myself. I would reserve a larger cabin on the water or awesome Domes they have next time. Soon a ship will be avaliable as well,Excellent,clean bathrooms close to our unit. There are more washrooms and showers close by as well. Office/store had camp wood,snacks,supplies and activities if needed.

We arrived after a long day and were turned away due to the power being turned off. No one was at the office - we had to shout around for 20 mins before someone helped us and then we were told we couldn’t stay unless we payed cash.

Had a lovely 2 night stay in one of the Riverview retreat cabins. The cabin was cozy and clean, and came with a BBQ on the deck for any cooking needs. Will be back in the warmer weather!
