Sunrise Campgroud is a nice place. Not sure if there is a bunch of snow there now or not though. Franklin Basin is also a nice place to camp. It's about 20 min from Bear Lake as you go through Logan Canyon. I believe there are also tent sites at Blue Water which is right on the shore of Bear Lake.

Welcome to Bogley. I live in Clinton also.

Just went camping in that area last week. Lots of people like Sunrise campground, but personally I'd stay somewhere else. It's just too close to the nonstop traffic on 89. We went up St. Charles Canyon, near the NW corner of the lake. Paved road (it's the road to Minnetonka Cave), with several campgrounds there. We stayed at the highest one, Cloverleaf, very pretty, though there were some mosquitoes. North Beach is maybe 20 minutes from camp. Franklin Basin road is also nice, but those sites are completely undeveloped. Snow is basically gone, but you'll still see it on the peaks and high places like Tony Grove.
