Conestoga Ranch
Total Glamping experience
Conestoga Ranch is a destination that gives luxury a down home feel.

Located in Garden City, Utah on the beautiful Bear Lake Conestoga Ranch offers luxury tents and a chance to stay in a covered wagon.

I stayed in a larger, more luxurious site because my wife and I were on our Anniversary weekend.

The tent had a king bed, shower, and deep claw foot tub. The decor is charmingly rustic with log furnishings and tin and raw pipe for plumbing and accessories, this is all intentional and makes the experience even better.

Onsite, there are clean shower rooms and rest rooms, laundry facilities, an arcade, and a very fine restaurant and lounge.

Upon check in, you park by the office and a attendant takes you and your gear up to your site, later on a fire concierge will come and start your fire as you relax and take in all the beauty around you.

Bear Lake offers so much opportunity for recreation, from boating, to side x side rentals to beaches, mountain biking and some shopping.

This luxury comes at a price...a pretty steep price for camping, rates vary, but staying before memorial day gave us the better rate.

I do think that the price is worth the wonderful experiences that we had at this fun little place.

Have a great time.

Downata Hot Springs
Great place to stay in the winter
Cold winter months and you need to get away? Wow we rented a cabin three times this last winter. Great little cabins with bathrooms the hot pools were 100 feet away and a heated swimming pool. In the summer time the pool is nice and cold and there are water slides. There is RV and tent sites as well as group sites and 3 small cabins, 3 medium cabins and three large cabins/houses. They also have several yurts. This year they also have covered wagons you can stay in(cute idea on a tent cabin). The staff is friendly and courteous. There is a small cafe and store. There is a restaurant that has a great sirloin dinner if you call ahead to make dinner reservations. Over all a great place to camp summer or winter.

Rendezvous Beach — Bear Lake State Park
A bit dry and windy, but not a bad place to stay
We camped for three days here. The restroom was very clean (for a campground), although the stall door needed some repair. The paper towels were well-stocked, and the trash emptied daily. The fire pits are pretty solid and include a built-in grill. The area was free of litter. There was a golden eagle nest above us where eagles were flying to and from; this was quite the sight to see! If you want to camp at Bear Lake, this is a good spot. Electricity and water hookups are included at each campsite for those of you with RVs.

Hyrum State Park Campground
Great Free campsites
I've camped here several times since I was a child. It's nice that there is a river that runs nearby. There are about 50 campsites on a first come first served basis. The road gets narrower as you drive up the canyon and the campsites are spread out along the way over about 5+ miles. I wouldn't recommend going too far in with a big trailer. Fires are allowed only part of the year. The forest service puts flags in the fire pits when it gets too dry. There are hiking trails (such as leathams hollow) and a few rock climbing routes as well. Lots of people go four wheeling and motorcycling as well.

Brigham City-Perry South KOA
Packed like sardines but great management
We stopped off here for one night on our way to Bryce Canyon. We arrived late, but someone had stayed around to welcome us and give us a goody bag with nutter butters, coozies, and fresh plums, which was really nice!

They pack them in tight here! Each pitch is no wider than 15’, which actually makes it pretty challenging to back in. There isn’t really any outside space, unless you want to squeeze some chairs next to your neighbor’s sewer hookup.

That being said, the facilities are great and the folks running the place are really friendly and helpful. Showers are free, hot, and clean. There’s a well-stocked store, laundry room, propane fill-up, etc.

Cottonwood Campground — Willard Bay State Park
State campground close to highway
Two loops that we saw, the first has no hook ups and the second has power and water at each site. There’s a little paved slab with a picnic table and covering, each site has a fire pit and charcoal grill. $30 for no hook ups $40 for hookups, got in around 8pm and no $30 sites left. There are toilets and showers for each loop. Really close to the highway so be prepared for that noise, and there’s a train that goes by every so often.

Caribou National Forest Emigration Campground
Nice Forested Campground, But With Some Road Noise
Stopped here overnight on a mid-weekday on the way from Great Basin National Park to Grand Teton National Park. Nice, forested campground. There's a camp host up front that has firewood for sale. (We didn't need any, so didn't interact with them.)

My photos are from campsite #8. Many campsites were reserved for Thursday through Sunday, but no problem mid weekday to get a first come, first serve site in early July.

Our site had enough flat areas for two 2+ dome dents. There was a little path to the bathrooms. Each bathroom had two stalls, but for COVID-19 times, one stall was closed off and there was a sign on the door saying that one person was allowed in the bathroom at a time. No showers.

Water was across from our campsite. Each campsite has a table and fire pit. Some sites had little paths that went between them, so if you had multiple sites together, you could walk between them without going to the little road through the campground.

Lots of four-wheelers around, but nothing too crazy. I believe this is a trailhead for winter sports (snowmobiling?). There was a little dirt road that went off from the campground that we didn't have time to explore. Not sure about hiking trails from the campground.

The campers here were quiet and respectful, but there is road noise from the highway that runs sort of above the campground. Trucks use the highway and it's on a little bit of a grade, so you could definitely hear them. I wore earplugs and (even as a light sleeper) slept just fine. That's why I knocked a star off.

No bear boxes, but bears didn't seem to be an issue. We just kept our food in the car. There were chipmunks around who could try to steal food if you left it out, just like with any campground.

Lots of summer flowers! Also lots of summer mosquitos, but that's expected.

Maple Grove Hot Springs
Great camping and great hot springs
This is one of my favorite places on earth. They have tent sites, van sites and a selection of shelters to choose from. Camping gets you access to the hot springs from check in until 4pm the next day. There’s running water in the bathhouse with a toilet and shower. There’s yoga classes included in the price as well. The bathhouse also has a nice little shop with snacks and gifts. They sell tinfoil dinners too if you want to really relax. Highly recommend! They offer volunteer days as well where you can camp and soak in exchange for volunteer work.
