6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin accommodations near Fish Haven include several options with varying amenities and comfort levels. Bear Lake/Marina Side KOA Holiday offers cabin rentals with modern conveniences including electricity, refrigerators, and microwaves. The Bear Lake North RV Park and Campground features cabins with full bathrooms and kitchen facilities for extended stays. "This cabin needs to be reserved first and foremost. It has picnic tables and a bbq grill and sleeping space inside for a few people," noted one visitor about a nearby forest service cabin. Egan Basin Guard Station provides a more rustic experience with toilet facilities but no electric hookups, showers, or water connections, appealing to those seeking a more primitive cabin experience.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The KOA properties in Garden City offer cabin options with television, refrigerators, and microwave ovens, while forest service cabins like Egan Basin Guard Station provide more basic accommodations. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when Bear Lake attracts numerous visitors. A camper shared, "We absolutely loved this small cabin. It had a fenced area and plenty of room. Bathroom was clean. Must bring your own toilet paper, water and mattresses but it's worth the hassle." Pet policies vary by location, with Bear Lake North RV Park allowing pets in their cabin units while Egan Basin Guard Station prohibits pets.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Forest service cabins typically have minimal amenities, requiring guests to bring water and sleeping pads. "The guard station comes fully equipped with cooking utensils and dishes and cleaning supplies. It also includes a propane refrigerator and stove," wrote one visitor about a nearby forest service cabin. KOA cabins generally provide more amenities but still require some personal supplies. On-site camp stores at locations like Bear Lake/Marina Side KOA and Montpelier Creek KOA stock basic provisions including firewood, food items, and camping necessities. Cabins with kitchen facilities may have limited cookware, so guests should confirm what's provided before arrival.
"There are a variety of ways to camp here, tent, RV, cabins and the set up allows for privacy. It really feels like a resort."
"Close to Bear Lake Marina and rentals and tons of great activities. Cabins, tiny homes, a variety of camper and campsites."
"This is a perfect place to go with family, because you basically share a site with the person next to you. We got to know our neighbors pretty good. Awesome place for kids."
"Smaller than the Lake Side KOA in town, but guest have access to facilities at both locations. Really appreciated the quiet location."
"It's pet-friendly, has full hookups, picnic tables, and wifi. The nice thing about this campground is it does have a beach as well as water/lake access."
"Location is great to be close to the lake with full hook ups. The resort uses EVERY square inch so it feels very crowded."

"It had both water and electric hook ups on site, and plenty of space for our tent. I gave this KOA 5 Stars all due to the site #26!"
GuideThis is one of the best campgrounds around. The owners are amazing and the location with large trees for shade. Deck with BBQs. Big hangout area in grass. We hold a fishing tourney here every year and we all love hanging out at the campground after!
GuideWe camped here with our 4 boys on a Wednesday and Thursday night end of July. We almost had the place to ourselves!
Super family friendly! The kids loved the waterpark. The slides were a blast! Big water slides for our older boys, and a baby pool, splash pad and little kid water slide for the 3 year old.
The pool is on the warmer side, 90°-95°F. It can feel a bit warm on a hot day. But the kids never complained. Very budget friendly for the price. Tons of lifeguards, which was nice for added safety.
Pool has a cool history, and feels very vintage in a good way! Super charming.
We never did the hot soaking pools because it was too hot. But would be awesome in winter!
Trailer/rv sites D49-D57 seemed the best in the park. Tons of shade, and backed up to an open space for the most incredible sunsets!
Has a swing set, sandbox, basketball court and volleyball court for kids to play.
Flushing toilets in multiple spots, showers that you have to pay quarters to use. If you use the pool, free showers in the locker room.
Had a good amount of basic supplies in the main office. And a fun snack bar with ice cream, swirl cones, pizza, nuggets, burgers, etc.
The spots are pretty close together. We really lucked out and had the whole row to ourselves Wednesday night. Almost completely full on Thursday night. Felt way more cramped with all the extra trailers.
The kids absolutely loved it, and so did we! Would definitely do this trip again!
ScoutWe liked staying at sun outdoors. It was a quiet place with about 200 spots. A pool, hot tub and playground.
You can walk or drive to the beach that I think is exclusive to sun outdoors
TravelerWe were driving south from Yellowstone and and to fly off from SLC two days later. We were looking for a spot to stop for the night that wasn’t too urban. Downata has been a blessing. Quiet place with amazing hot springs and very modern pools. Also many sport activities for the kids. An amazing sunset and great people at the desk that were both extremely kind and welcoming but also allowed us to check out a tad later for us to enjoy the site in the morning! Amazing memories for sure. Thank you from Switzerland

ScoutThis location is good. Has grass at most spots and was clean. There are too many spots per sq ft. so everyone is really close together. Many amenities and in good repair.
ScoutLocation is great to be close to the lake with full hook ups. The resort uses EVERY square inch so it feels very crowded. Our site was okay, but we were right next to the dumpster and shower/bathroom facility so everyone wanted to walk thru our site instead of walking around. It was surprisingly quiet for the amount of people there. The private "beach" was not too crowded compared to Roundevous Park. Their beach does have a lot of rocks, so bring water shoes and dogs aren't allowed. But if you walk towards the left side of their private "beach" there is less rocks and you can take your dogs to that side of the beach. Place was good for the 4th and the site was good (next time I would block off the shortcut trail to keep people from walking thru).
RangerReviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com
If you are searching for a destination park that can easily accommodate a large group, the Bear Lake/ Marina Side KOA Holiday in Garden City, Utah, is a standout choice. For our crew, this campground was an absolute highlight of our recent travels, serving as the perfect central hub for a fantastic, week-long family reunion.
Accommodations for Every Camper
One of the hardest parts of planning a multi-generational family trip is finding a park that suits everyone's unique comfort levels and camping styles. This park solves that problem effortlessly.
Site Variety: They offer a massive selection of spaces, including full-hookup RV sites, cozy cabins, and traditional tent sites. It was a huge relief knowing that everyone in our traveling party could find exactly the accommodations they needed while still staying together in one park.
Unbeatable On-Site Entertainment
Keeping a large family entertained for almost a week can be a tall order, but this KOA knocks it out of the park.
Mini Golf: Hands down, our grandkids(and the adults!) found the 9-hole mini-golf course to be the most fun thing going in camp. It was such a hit that our group played every single day we were there for 6 days straight!
The KOA Train: Another major highlight was the fun and fast train rides around the park. The grandkids rode it several times during the week. As a fantastic bonus for parents and grandparents, the train rides are completely free.
Exploring the"Caribbean of the Rockies"
While the campground itself is packed with fun, the surrounding area is just as spectacular.
Lake Activities: We spent plenty of time swimming in the stunning, turquoise waters of nearby Bear Lake. The area is also known for a steady, frequent wind coming off the water, which made for perfect kite-flying weather. Don't let wind ruin your fun. Bring a kite! We did.
Local Eats: You simply cannot stay in Garden City without visiting the iconic LaBeau's Drive-In. Grabbing their "Famous" Raspberry Shakes was an absolute must-do for our group, and they completely lived up to the hype!
The Hitched4fun Verdict
The Bear Lake/ Marina Side KOA Holiday perfectly blends family-focused amenities, versatile lodging, and prime access to one of Utah's most beautiful lakes. It is rare to find a park that caters so effectively to both energetic kids and relaxing adults for an extended stay. If you are planning a family reunion or a group getaway, this location is a guaranteed win.
Rating: Highly Recommended by the entire Hitched4fun.com crew!
GuideThis is a small state park campground located in a neighborhood. This lake was so popular while we were there over Father's Day weekend. As busy as it was, everyone followed the quiet hours and it was so peaceful at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return. We were in electric and water hookup site number 3 in the middle row. The sites along the water have great views, but little shade and do not have any hookups. The sites are close together ,but angled nicely so you still have privacy. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely with a mixture of farms and new construction. Felt completely safe biking and running through the surrounding area. The park is close to the town of Logan, Utah. We loaded up our bikes and took advantage of their extensive trail system only 15 minutes from the park. The town of Logan has everything you need to restock on supplies including Costco.
TravelerArrived yesterday for a 4-night stay. Appears well maintained. Nice venue with concrete patios, grass, trees and full hookups. Friendly staff.

A visitor to Montpelier Creek KOA shared, "We got the last site which was for a RV but was given to us for our tent camping. It had both water and electric hook ups on site...
