Bear Lake Aquatics Base

Bear Lake Aquatics Base is owned and operated by the Crossroads of the West Council, Scouting America. It is used for Scout events and campsite rentals during the summer season.

There aren’t many places inland that you can say you really feel like you’re at the ocean. Bear Lake just happens to be one of them!

With one mile of beach-front property, you will enjoy a beach-front camp like you’ve never dreamed of! All campsites are located between the highway and Bear Lake. Each campsite has potable water, a picnic table, campfire pit, and restrooms/showers a short walk away.

No alcohol, drugs, or fireworks on property per Scouting America policies.

Bear Lake Aquatics Base is conveniently located north of Laketown and nearby many local attractions - Bear Lake State Park, Logan Canyon, Minnetonka Cave and the National Oregon Trail Museum. Explore neighboring Laketown to experience the local flavor, maybe even a raspberry shake.

Mountain Top Getaways

My Grandfather owned this property for many years.
 He dry farmed this land and raised nine children to be hardworking. I visited this property many times to work along side my father and grandfather. I remember horseback riding and building a shed for my grandfathers combine. I recently purchased this property from my grandparents and got to work building my tiny home that my new family lives in.

These campsites are at the mouth of Cub River Canyon. The views are expansive and beautiful. National forest is only a few minute drive away along with a handful of reservoirs and river access. Come enjoy the views.

These are primitive campsites with no potable water.

There are antique farm implements visible on the property.

Road on the hillside leading up to the campsites.

Monte Cristo Recreation Mecca

We grew up recreating in this area.

 Our family still has the annual tradition of snowmobiling from Monte Cristo, stopping for lunch at Hardware Ranch, and continuing on to Bear Lake.

 The trails are endless in these mountains and the solitude abundant.

 Our property is smack in the middle between Monte Cristo parking lot and Hardware Ranch.

 It is the perfect location to set up camp and be ready hit the trails first thing in the morning.

Private land camping between Hardware Ranch and Monte Cristo with fabulous views and stunning sunsets.  This area is a recreation mecca with access to miles and miles of national forest trails less than a mile away! Dirt biking, riding ATVs, horse back riding,  and hiking are all very popular and very accessible. You can't beat this location if you love the outdoors, enjoy solitude, and crave backcountry recreation!

View looking east.  Large meadow area with wild grasses and wild flowers.  Excellent spot for camping, playing family games, and letting the kids run around.

Looking southwest.  Super close access to Ant Flat Road, which allows you access to hundreds of miles of trails (dirt bikes, ATVs, horse riding, etc.)! This is also an amazing location to set up your hunting camp in the fall. 

Another great shot looking northwest.  We get amazing sunsets up here!

Secluded Maple Creek River bottoms

This property was used by the Shoshone Indian tribe as a summer camp area. Later after the pioneers came they set up a dance floor and had parties here. The dance floor has since overgrown. This property has also been the host to never dams. It has been in our family for many years and we have enjoyed it.Learn more about this land:The campsites are located in a wooded area so lots of shade. 2 sites are creek side along maple creek and the other has a small stream and a pond.  All sites have a fire pit available. All sites are carry in carry out. Easily accessible with a four wheel drive.  You will need to cross maple creek to reach site 1. The road down to the river bottoms is a bit steep so 4 wheel drive is recommended. This area is ideal for tent camping.
