Lone Pine Campground

Within St. Francis National Forest, Lone Pine Campground provides both drive-in and boat-in access to sites along Bear Creek Lake. The US Forest Service manages this established campground with water hookups available for RVs and amenities including drinking water, restrooms, picnic tables, and firewood sales.

Sites sit directly on the water with footpaths leading to the lake. The campground tends to stay relatively uncrowded, even during summer weekends, though some sites are positioned closer together than others prefer. Campers report seeing abundant wildlife including toads and various bird species around the lake area. A short walk across from the main camping area, the Bear Creek loop trail offers a half-mile stroll for those wanting to stretch their legs.

The nearby visitors center, a short drive away, serves as both a gift shop and supply stop for basic necessities. Payment requires a trip to the visitors center since self-pay stations are not available on-site. A free swimming beach sits within five minutes by car, though dogs are not permitted at the beach area. "Beautiful views of the lake" characterize the setting according to Shana D., who also notes the lake provides good fishing opportunities.

For additional camping choices in the area, campers can explore campgrounds around St. Francis National Forest. The campground welcomes pets and offers ADA-accessible facilities with reservations available through the Forest Service.

Campers regularly cited the large waterfront sites and peaceful atmosphere as major draws. The primitive facilities lack showers and some mentioned bathroom issues, but most appreciated the beautiful lake setting.

Quiet and Solitude

December 14, 2021 Primitive camping. Only one other camper [tent] in campground. Toilet clean considering Primitive camping. Some sites are a bit too close for my liking. Overall I would return to this campground

Primitive and Peaceful

Not much activity in the winter other than a couple of hunters. The campground is off the beaten path, so lots of quiet solitude. Great sites for a primitive campground! Beautiful views of the lake. The visitors center is a short drive away. Mostly a gift shop with a few supplies if necessary. They do sell wood. Great Lake for fishing, but not much hiking in the area unfortunately. The bear creek loop across from the main campground is a nice 1/2 mile stroll worth taking!

Quiet, primitive campground. No self-pay box.

The campground was very nice with footpaths to the nearby lake and little hoppin’ toads everywhere. A little pricey for a primitive site in my opinion ($12). No showers, but a stinky bathroom nearby. The campground was pretty empty in the heat of summer even on a Friday night, but you could hear folks partying at the RV site across the lake. Didn’t bother me much, the toads and bugs were much louder 😆

Free swimming beach within a 5 min. drive (no dogs allowed).

We were annoyed when we arrived to find that there were no self-pay boxes even though the forest map says there should be. Had to drive to the visitor center to pay. They need to either update their map or add boxes to prevent confusion.
