Rainbow Cove Campground

New update for this great campground, it was closed for over 2 years and grandly opened this July 4, 2025. It has access at the end of the camping sites to the beach-type lake, several bathrooms, great security and the best view. Congratulations to the county for this great change. No reservations needed.

Rainbow Cove Campground is a first-come, first-served campground on Bear Lake. We had site #11. It is lakefront, HUGE, and amazing.

Come here and camp if you want to be harassed by DNR everyday about everything! Also the grass they advertise are pokey weeds they pay someone to mow down instead of killing. And don't park on their grass or DNR will also yell at you!

We enjoy the campground it was clean. Quite a steep way down to the water. No trees. It is a primitive campsite meaning no water and no power. They do have outhouses. Cost of 20 bucks a night. The campsites are large. And spaced-out quite nicely.

They are destroying the entire lake. This was the best spot and place in utah ever since I was a child, a long time ago. They're making it a mega camp plaza now. Gone are the days for thoes who want to camp primitive and more alone. I feel so sad for future generations that will never get to experience something that's not stacked on each other like all the dang apartment complex They're putting everywhere. Sadly it's only become all about the money and nature has lost that right and fight. Shame on all of the people in charge of this beautiful lake, there's going to be massive regret in the future about all of this disgusting development.
