Conestoga Ranch
Quick Facts
Why Bear Lake
Bear Lake, dubbed “The Caribbean of the Rockies” for its striking turquoise waters, spans 109 square miles on the Utah-Idaho border, with mineral-rich waters creating its signature color. Garden City sits at the heart of the lake’s shoreline, known for world-famous raspberry milkshakes, the family-friendly Pickleville Playhouse, and beaches on both the Utah and Idaho sides.
Conestoga Ranch pairs its glamping wagons with an on-site restaurant and a genuinely thoughtful touch — a ready-to-light bonfire delivered right to your tent, letting guests settle in without any setup work.
