Accessible by a causeway connecting to the mainland, Ladyfinger Campground sits on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake with five walk-in sites requiring less than a two-minute carry from the parking area. At $20 per night including park entrance fees, reservations are available through Utah State Parks, though the gate closes at 10 pm with no re-entry until morning.
Each spacious site includes two picnic tables and large fire rings, with vault toilets serving clusters of campsites. The campground operates as a dry camp with no hookups, though two rest stations provide facilities that are cleaned weekly. Bison roam freely across the island, and campers regularly encounter these animals walking through sites, particularly in early morning hours. The exposed location offers expansive views in all directions but provides no shade from trees.
Seasonal insect activity varies dramatically throughout the year. Spring brings significant populations of biting midges and smaller flies that require protective clothing and fine mesh headwear. Late summer visitors face thousands of orb spiders that construct webs overnight across trails and around picnic areas, though these arachnids are non-aggressive and help control fly populations. As Michelle H. notes, "Antelope Island is NOT for the faint of heart."
The campground provides direct access to hiking and biking trails across the island, with opportunities for wildlife viewing and stargazing under dark skies. For additional camping options, places to camp around Hooper offer alternatives on the mainland.
