We only list amenities a source records. A missing item doesn't mean the campground lacks it, so check with Bear River Group Campground before you go.
The Bear River Group Campground offers four separate group campsites on a site above the south side of the Lower Bear River Reservoir. The proximity to water and the mixed pine setting in the fresh Sierra Nevada air, makes this campground an excellent group retreat destination. Upriver from the campground is the Upper Bear River Reservoir. This lake is smaller and spans 166 surface acres with 2.5 miles of shoreline. Recreation Lake activities include fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing and picnicking on the shores.
