Best Campgrounds near Roy, UT

Several campgrounds and RV parks provide cabin camping options near Roy, Utah. Bridger Bay Campground at Antelope Island State Park offers cabins alongside tent and RV camping, with full hookups and amenities including showers and toilets. Anderson Cove, located about 25 miles east of Roy in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, features cabins and yurts with picnic tables, fire rings, and access to water recreation. North Fork County Park in Eden also provides cabin and yurt accommodations with more primitive amenities and no water hookups.

Many of the cabin facilities require advance reservations, particularly during the peak summer season from May through September. Antelope Island State Park maintains three separate campgrounds with cabin options, though availability varies seasonally. Willard Bay State Park, approximately 15 miles north of Roy, offers cabin rentals with electricity and nearby water access. Most cabins in the region have concrete pads, picnic tables, and fire rings, though specific amenities vary by location. "Very nice campsites with teepees available in the next two very large stocked freshwater pond we're taking trails," noted one visitor to Fort Buenaventura Park.

Cabin campers report mixed experiences with comfort and proximity to natural features. Sites at Century RV Park provide cabin options with more extensive amenities, including electric hookups, showers, and WiFi access. A visitor remarked that it was a "clean place, lots of amenities, and great staff." Riverside RV Resort offers newer facilities with cabin accommodations in a convenient location between Ogden and Roy. However, several reviews mention ambient noise from nearby transportation corridors. "We stayed for two nights, and it was a good stay. The utilities were in the perfect position," commented one camper. Sites at Hill AFB FamCamp provide military personnel and veterans with cabin options at reasonable rates, though these sites typically lack shade and natural features compared to forest service or state park locations.

    Hobbit 2 Dispersed Site

    A one spot stop

    Didn’t stay, it’s right next to the road maybe for a camper van not for a truck and 30’ camper

    Salt Lake City KOA

    Urban campground convenient to SLC

    We wanted to explore Salt Lake City so decided to stay at this downtown KOA. It is a large and crowded RV park but right on a Transit line (UTA light rail Trax) and biking distance to downtown. The facilities are older but clean. Standard Holiday amenities like pool, dog park, dog wash, basketball court. We’d stay again if I wanted to be close to downtown.

    Valley View RV Resort

    Newer place with some nice ammenities

    Nice RV Resort with many amenities including pool, hot tub, outdoor fire pit, pickleball courts. Friendly staff. Laundry machines are limited given the size of the park. Also showers are inexplicably small. Bathrooms with toilet, sink, shower are adequate size but the showers are quite small (and I am not a large person). Paved sites but not level. I’d stay again but perhaps do my laundry somewhere else on the way in.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful remote campground

    The positives: a beautiful remote spot with huge spaces between campsites. Gorgeous views of the Great Salt Lake. Right now there is no water on the island due to construction at the visitors center. The visitors center is closed though there is a temporary one. One other detractor is the mosquitoes here. We were out at dusk locking our bikes and were swarmed by them!! It has been very windy here. Don’t know if that is usual or a temporary weather thing due to remnants of a Pacific hurricane. If you are looking for solitude without backpacking into the mountains the primitive loop at Bridger Bay campground could be your thing. Nice place to bike also if it weren’t for the wind.

    Valley View RV Resort

    Stunning views and the sound of freedom

    We’ve stayed here several times and have to say the vibes are patriotic and welcoming. The Air Force base and surrounding mountains feel like you’re in a Top Gun movie. Clean bathrooms, clean pool and spa, super cool staff, and my kids had a blast making memories. Thanks Valley View - Claire

    Lovely spot

    Very safe and nice spot to stay with kids. Gated entry is a plus for me, and the staff is so kind and welcoming.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful buffalo views

    An amazing place to kick back, relax, and hangout with bison. They walk up and graze through the campsites which is a beautiful thing to wake up to. Right now the island doesn’t have water so come prepared. Electrical hook ups. State parks always skoolie friendly.

    Anderson Cove (uinta-wasatch-cache National Forest, Ut)

    No bang for your buck

    I wish I read the reviews better before stopping here. It’s $38 a night. That gets you a spot on a paved pad, no hook ups. There are shade trees but they don’t offer privacy. Only out house/pit toilets, the one near my spot was dirty. The campground is on a busy road so lots of noise there. I don’t need to stay here again.

    Bountiful B Dispersed

    Popular re recreation area with good camping

    There's 4 fire rings around the coords, probably only 3 actual camp sites. The one fire has trails going all around it. If you continue up the mountain, there's more sites at the top. This whole area seems to be a local atv, dirt bike, mountain bike, and shooting area. Definitely lots of people shooting guns into gulleys during the day. Everybody seemed friendly though. The road up takes about 25 or 30 minutes to get to the coords. Its a bit rough but if you have awd or 4wd its no problem. Great views on the way up and down. I have Verizon and had coverage off and on, its enough to send texts but not much more.
