Our Story
Lakeshore Bliss, a private non-commercial campground located right on the shores of Gunnison Bend Reservoir, is our family's waterfront recreational destination.
Lakeshore Bliss, a private non-commercial campground located right on the shores of Gunnison Bend Reservoir, is our family's waterfront recreational destination.
We are Tim & Loreen Bliss, and we chose to share our hidden gem of a location as the need for housing increased in Millard County. In early 2024 we welcomed our first guests needing a home away from home while working on the IPP Renewed Project. We were happy to welcome new friends to share in the beauty of Delta and Gunnison Bend Reservoir. We continued to share our love of the water with both extended-stay and short-term guests, finding a connection with those who love the peace and tranquility that only water can provide. By May of 2026, we had finally completed most of the construction, with 24 sites that were constantly full.

That was short-lived, however, when our world crashed in around us only a few months later. On September 1, 2026, Millard County shut us down. Our first temporary permit had expired and our efforts to get a permanent permit to keep a commercial campground were denied. We were told in the beginning that campgrounds were allowed in Agriculture zoning, and we would be able to keep our financial endeavors, but those, evidently, were old rules. When the updated zoning rules were discovered, even though the website still said differently, we were told that campgrounds were not allowed in AG zoning. We were absolutely devastated, both financially and emotionally. We are heartbroken that we can no longer share our beautiful location on the lake with everyone. For those who have called Lakeshore Bliss home, we thank you, and we'll miss you! We are even having to sell half our beautiful land to survive. (Ask us if you're interested in being our neighbor!)

On October 1, 2026, we got a permit to keep 8 of our sites as a private, non-commercial campground, so we can keep sharing our hard work and love of the water with family and friends! Let us know when you'd like to visit!
