Bear Valley has three beautiful campgrounds.  As a property owner you may camp without charge in any of our campgrounds, with the exception of a $10 per night for a Hook-Up site (with electricity and water).  There is a fee for your guests to stay however.  Each campground is equipped with bathrooms, including showers, and a dump station.

A rather unique amenity in Bear Valley Springs is our Equestrian Center where members can board their own horses or those of their guests, make use of the riding arena and corrals, or camp out at the many on-site campgrounds.

The manager is Liz Beckham
