Bear Lake / Marina Side KOA Holiday

Our Group of 10 recently had an excellent stay at the Marina Side KOA. We had a small cabin that was clean and warm. The mattress are a little firm but such is camping. We also had an RV spot with a private fenced area and hot tub. Great for the dogs. This KOA has great amenities with nice large clean showers and bathrooms, and great kids facilities. The kids loved the train cars the hook to a tractor and pull around the campground. The best part was the staff. Everyone we spoke to was very kind and helpful. The GM was great and clearly runs a fantastic place to work. We even had employees offer us rides in their golf carts when we had a long walk around the campground to park a car. They had daily activities such as tie die, and free coffee and donuts. Would absolutely recommend staying here. They provide a lot of value outside of a place to just sleep for the evening.

We LOVE this KOA! The location is incredible: close to Bear Lake, restaurants, and a small grocery store (with a state liquor store inside). The campground is impressive. A wide variety of sites to book, including small cabins, tent sites, and RV sites. They have deluxe sites with additional amenities, like a playground, fully fenced yard area, or private hot tub. The landscaping is beautiful, and the site layout is well thought out (though be aware: there are a lot of sites).

The grounds boast abundant amenities and activities, including mini golf, playground, dog park, pickle ball, pool, giant jumping blob, planned crafts (some free, some $), themed weekend activities, outdoor movies on Saturdays, bike rentals, laundry ($), showers, and more. The atmosphere is very fun and family-friendly. Dogs are allowed on-leash.

The staff here are always friendly and welcoming. Some of the most helpful RV park staff we've encountered in our camping adventures.

Couldn't be happier with our trips here, and plan to come here for years to come!

This is one of the best KOAs we've ever been to. Super clean and many amenities for the whole family. Mini golf, playground, bikes, dog park, swimming pool, wifi, fire pits and very nice outdoor furniture.

We recently stayed at the Marina Side KOA and I cannot rate the campground or employees highly enough. The weather ended up being decent for mid-September and while their bike shop would normally be closed, they decided to open it. The maintenance man had to pivot and run the shop and did a great job. The daily activities for the kids were great, and they can't stop talking about the train rides! Every employee was friendly, kind, and willing to help with any questions we had. We stayed in a deluxe cabin with a bunk room. We had two adults, two kids, and a dog, and the space worked for us for the three nights we were there. The cabins were new, clean, and well appointed. The campground was nice and quiet too, with people really respecting the quiet hours. My sister stayed in a campsite with a hot tub, which was a really nice bonus for us. The hot tubs were clean and hot! We will for sure be back to this KOA!

We booked a week at the campground while our family stayed at our timeshare (WorldMark) which was about a mile away, since we were traveling with our dog, who's not allowed at the timeshare. The campground offers every amenity and more (bike rentals, mini golf, and more). Bear Lake is a gorgeous destination tucked into a corner of Utah and Idaho where you can drive to many interesting places and historical sites within about an hour's drive. The staff were all pleasant, and our site was perfect with a picnic table with four chairs (not benches!), fire ring, and a swing for two. The family loved coming over for s'mores in the evening around the fire. We had an amazing time!

We were so surprised by experience we had. They had so many activities going on for families and their kids, our children didn't wanna leave lol. Our cabin was well equipped and super clean and the hospitality of the host and staff was wonderful. We will definitely be returning

I was blown away with how great this place is. From our PRIVATE HOT TUB to the mini golf. We had a great time. The wifi was spotty but once I talked to a person in charge they helped us get connected and it worked most of the time. If you have younger kids I would say 12 and under, this is a place that will keep them entertained all day. But, for the older kids you can rent E-bikes and ride around Bear Lake. (We rented the E-bikes 2 days in a row). We played pickleball, checkers and one morning they offered a tye dye activity (that was only 14 dollars per shirt.) The bathhouse is unisex. They have a nice dog area. I loved our spot. It was private but spacious. We set up our corn hole boards and had enough room to play. There's a grocery store next to the KOA. I was so impressed with how much this KOA offered. They even have a outdoor kitchen where you can wash your dishes and also it had electric stoves to cook on. They give you wood to burn in the firepit but we brought our own. It's a great place for families with younger kids for sure.

Stayed in the treehouse site. The site was completely fenced-in, so it was nice to have the privacy. It had a hot tub, a bbq grill and a putting green. Only complaints is it was right near the main campground road so there was a lot of traffic during the day. It said it had a tent pad but the only spot was near the kids treehouse. We could not use the large tent we brought. It would help if the put that in the campsite details. Other than that we had a great time.

Great camp ground. Workers are constantly cleaning and are the happiest people to be around. Our kids loved all the activities. We will most definitely be coming back

reserved RV hookup - family was at tent camp site - we used community cooking area for all meals. Water stovetop and grills were perfect for meal prep.

Kids loved running around at the pool, bounce house, mini golf, pickleball

Pickleball gets super busy - they need a next turn system where you put your paddles up as residents just ignore anyone waiting

Love being right by a grocery store and walking distance to town

JoAnn and her staff took great care of everything to make our stay incredible! Clean, beautiful, fantastic staff! Hope to come back this way again...soon!

We stayed last weekend and the place was packed. Even with the sites being pretty close together it didn’t feel crowded or loud. There were kids having fun everywhere but it didn’t feel like it disrupted our peaceful experience (We know you can sometimes be stuck with a loud or disrespectful neighbor and we got lucky!)

So many activities and the staff felt very genuine when they interacted with the kids participating. All staff that we ran into asked how our day was going and were vey helpful. One of the employees saw me walking with my trash and told me to just toss it on his cart, small gestures make big impact!

I wish I could find a link to send a review to their corporate office but I could not find it anywhere on the KOA website. We were having so much fun we wanted to stay an extra night (on a SATURDAY) Joanne was so helpful and put up with us checking back for cancellations over and over. She was able to squeeze us in and we got extra vacation! All of the processes and interactions were great but we want to make sure KOA knows how helpful she was and how much we appreciate it! We are putting this on our yearly schedule.

BTW there is a secret Lego store within walking distance called Bricks and Mini Figs, it shares a parking lot with Moose Buns Coffee

We spent 5 days here and the staff knew about what guests want. Their positive attitude, work ethic, and customer service skill were the best. TY for a great experience.

Loved our stay! They had plenty of fun things for my kids to do (14 and 12 years old). The facilities were clean. A major drawback was no cooking grate for the fire pit. We had to pivot because that was assumed. The grates that are sold in the store do not fit the fire ring so it was useless but we were told that they fit before purchasing so we felt a bit jipped. Overall it was still a great experience.

We will definitely be back to this location. This was an amazing experience. All the amenities are awesome & so much fun for the kids. They have daily activities on the activity board.
Mini golf course, volley ball, basketball court, chess, checkers, rec room & so many others. The best part was the bike shop rentals.
They have so much to offer. My family & I tried all the rentals & by far the e bikes are the best. Mike the maintenance guy was one awesome dude. He helped us with everything & I really appreciated how much he did for us. He’s only there till October 15th I believe. They rotate posts.
Every team member was very friendly & family oriented. They have private enclosed showers & private toilet rooms. We rented the private enclosed patio for our dogs & they were in heaven. Only negative about the enclosed site. They don’t have lights or plugs to run a light. So u must run an extension cord from your trailer for power. Also on our site it was suppose to have a swing. There was no swing unfortunately as described or in the pictures. We still had a good time. This koa is directly on the bike path so it’s for the bike enthusiasts for sure

It was enjoyable stay except having neighbors on both sides didn't obey nighttime quite hours when others are trying to sleep. I loved staying at Koa campsite so much to do might be coming back in the future

Love this place I have stayed there for seven years this year will be my eighth year. I’d love the accommodations I love the staff they treat you like family. The grounds are clean organized and everybody is happy and friendly even the guests. Lots of fun things for the kids to do and are constantly entertained there is not one bad thing I could say about this place. As you know I’ve gone through seven years going on my eight I wouldn’t go back if it wasn’t ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Very accommodating, and comfortable. We were able to bring our pup with us which made the experience twice as great! They even have a dog park! The beds were super comfy, it was like home away from home. Will never stay anywhere else!

Their gift shop is so cute! Reasonably priced items. The employees are super nice! They do allow your pups to come inside! The KOA is nice and clean. Will definitely stay here next time I come to Bear Lake!

I visited a family member who was staying at this campsite. From what I could tell is that they have big trees that provide lots of shade for tents. It looked nice and well kept.
