Bear Lake Campsite

Such a good hike. First time backpacking so my bag was quite heavy. Sleeping isn't the best since campsite by the lake is tilted. Sounds of beaver at night kept the group up throughout the night. Fire wood is also a challenge so make sure to look for dry fallen trees near the campsite. Views were amazing though.

Super tiny campsite. Not very level. Tons of roots and rocks. Views are good, but if you're not planning on camping, not at all worth the steep walk down and then the climb up.

Backpacking and camping overnight was a wild experience! Would categorize as mildly rough terrain and small area for tiny tiny tiny tents most ideal

Very popular campsite on the SHT. One night limit. Very few spots on the lake, there is a trail leading up hill that has a few more spots but its not next to the lake. On prime weekends this spot fills up very fast.

First come first serve at this campsite. Easy access from the Bay Area Historical Society parking lot. Hike the loop or stay the night it is a must for north shore hikers..
