About

National Forest

This small campground is located about six miles east of Huntsville, Utah on a curve along the South Fork of the Ogden River. A host is not on-site but can be found at Magpie Campground (west) or South Fork Campground (east). It has been a popular camping spot since the pioneers came to Utah. Although the trees are not thick, they are big and very old. Popular local recreation activities include fishing, hiking, swimming, and tubing down the South Fork Ogden River (a life jacket is required for all tubers). Nearby Attractions Causey Reservoir is located approximately five miles east. This scenic reservoir is popular for fishing and swimming. Site Details and Accessible Features

Badly kept campground

There is no map on Recreation.gov, so you don't know where some of the sites are located. I've included a pic of a map I got from a book. We had sites 6 and 7 and they both backed up to the road, which is very loud. Site 7 is right on the water, so it was nice to hear the river during that night. However, the grass was incredibly overgrown. We had 2 tents and could barely fit them. The table had a huge burn mark on it. The fire pit was falling apart and had not been cleaned out. There were rocks by where you parked that had graffiti all over them. And, we weren't at the campsite for more than 2 minutes when the host pulled up and said we had to pay for the extra car -- that's fine, some hosts enforce that rule and others don't, I don't mind. Our friends in site 6 had the exact same experience. It was like the host was waiting for people to arrive to demand the extra money. HOWEVER, in the 3 days we camped there, he cleaned the bathrooms once! It was muddy and dirty and disgusting. The host is not onsite -- he was at a nearby campground. No way we are camping here again.

Great place to camp! Next to Weber river & Clean sites!

This is one of our family’s favorite getaways close to Pineview! Bathrooms are always clean, sites are always clean, & we’ve always had GREAT camp hosts! There’s only 1 double site, but we’ve got multiple tents and 1 trailer in site 4. There’s also parking across the road to park overnight for extra cars for free!

Site4 is our family’s favorite

Nice Little CG close tothe Creek but also the Highway

Is the 2nd campground heading up canyon and is also the smallest campground in the canyon. While this is the smallest campground in the canyon half of the sites in this little loop are really close to the road and therefore have a lot of noise associated with that. The ones closer to the river, however, are great and have tent spots nestled away right next to the river. there are 5 single sites and 1 double site with picnic tables, fire rings, and prep/serving tables at each site. There is also drinking water and 2 vault toilets at the entrance to the campground.

For close recreation Pineview and Causey Reservoir are about equal distance and offer great respite from the sun with different experiences to explore! At the mountain, cliff lined Causey Reservoir, kayaking and deep water free climbing are popular activities. While at the larger Pineview Reservoir boating and water sports along with relaxing on the beach are more common activities, due to the gentle slopes of the reservoir.
