Bear Creek Camp is one of my favorite places to ride. There are lots of rock formations, several creek crossings and the occasional bear sightings. I can’t wait until they take out some of the old metal horse stations and put in the new stalls with a roof. Hopefully this will attract more horse people who don’t like the old metal stands.

Very peaceful, spoke to a young man that worked for the park, Mr Baird I think. He was knowledgeable of the area and offered good advice.

Bear Creek Campground is one of my favorite places to go. However!!! The lack of stalls is a big problem. We would go much more often if they would put panel stalls in. I bet the whole campground would be full every weekend.
