Bear River Lake Resort

Pioneer, California

About

Bear River Lake Resort is nestled on the shore of the lower Bear River Reservoir in the Sierra Mountains of Amador County, California, at 6,000 feet elevation. The resort offers a laid-back, rustic experience with tent camping, RV camping, and furnished lodging units, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. All campsites include water, electric (15 amp), campfire rings, and picnic tables, with amenities such as showers, laundromat, dump station, and a full store. The resort is one of the first area resorts to open yearly and provides access to a variety of water sports including fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and water skiing on the cold, clear Bear River Reservoir. Visitors can enjoy hiking on nearby dirt roads through dense mountains, horseshoes, volleyball, and other recreational activities, while the poor cell phone reception ensures a peaceful escape from city life.
