Conestoga Ranch at Bear Lake
Written by Becky
There’s so much of Utah I have yet to explore. I’ve lived here for over 10 years, and this past weekend was my first trip up to Bear Lake. We stayed at this fairytale like ranch called Conestoga Ranch, where camping basically becomes a luxurious event instead of sacrificial roughing it. We all slept like babies, even with a very wiggly baby in my belly, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the lake the following day. No neck aches, or sleeplessness that are often associated with camping, just glorious […]

Called the Caribbean of the Rockies, Bear Lake has a striking turquoise-blue hue produced by light reflecting off limestone particles suspended in the deep water.
Special Events
Conestoga Ranch, a high-end glamping resort in Garden City, Utah, is at work to become Bear Lake’s premiere destination for weddings, corporate retreats and a variety of other private events.
VacationIdea
Resting on the edge of Bear Lake, “the Caribbean of the Rockies,” the luxurious Conestoga Ranch lies on 18 private acres in Garden City with beautiful views over the tranquil waters of the lake. This contemporary tented camp offers an array of comfortable accommodation in the form of Grand and Traditional camping tents and Conestoga Wagons, all of which are arranged with comfy furnishings and boast beautiful lake views.
Chicago Tribune
Families looking for a nontraditional camping adventure might consider glamping at Conestoga Ranch in Bear Lake, Utah, near the Idaho and Wyoming borders. As its name suggests, one of the ranch’s sleeping options is in Conestoga wagons — a more luxurious version of those used by the early pioneers.
