Brigham City sits at the north end of the Wasatch Front, with Box Elder Canyon and the Wellsville Mountains providing the closest camping access. Most developed sites are on Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest land to the east, with campgrounds in Mantua and Box Elder Canyon that have vault toilets and fire rings but no hookups or water service. Brigham City's dispersed camping options cover the undeveloped forest land accessible from the canyon corridors east of town.
The Wellsville Mountains to the west have limited vehicle access and most camping in that range is backpacking rather than drive-up sites. Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is a draw for day visitors but has no overnight camping. Mantua Reservoir draws anglers and tent campers on weekends, and sites there fill on summer Fridays with the Utah Valley crowd. cabin sites near Brigham City are a confirmed option for those who want a structure in the area.
Ogden sits about 20 miles south with more developed campground infrastructure if the Brigham City area sites are full. Check current fire restrictions before heading into the canyon in late summer.
"This was a nice spot tucked away from the interstate but not super far. Clean restrooms, nice staff. Stayed here twice on our trip to Moab. Plan on staying again on other trips to southern Utah"

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
GuideI didn't realize that this is also a family fun park when I reserved the site. It is all an extra fee, but you will get a discount if you're camping. 50 amp Sites are asphalt and the rest are dirt and grass. Sites are a little tight but they did try to leave spaces between if possible.
GuideImmaculate park. 2 dog parks, Laundry, shower, playground, indoor and outdoor kitchens, workout center, board games, dog wash, store, EV charging stations and so much more. Level concrete pads and table at every site. Mostly pull throughs, and premium sites which include your own gas grill, outdoor table and chairs. I'm sure I'm missing something, but this was worth the $71 a night for back in site to me.
ScoutWe are very low maintenance. So this was a perfect spot for us. 20, 30 and 50 Amp plug ins.
ScoutThis is a good stop over place. It has a pool, store and some outside games. No shade at all and no space between sites but the staff is excellent
GuideThe whole family loved this spot! My son loved the pool and the playground. The lady that helped us check in a spot last minute was soo nice! We arrived almost at closing time and she kept the pool open for us to enjoy! Very accommodating and kind. They even have a kitchen that serves food so we didn’t have to worry about cooking food! They also have unlimited pancakes, cereal, and coffee in the morning. The spot was just far enough in from the main road that it was quiet. The showers and bathrooms were clean. Had a great fire and a wonderful stay!
GuideGot here thinking I was going to have to do a back-in, instead they gave us a pullthru☆☆☆☆☆. The roads and sites are asphalted, don't know about the rest but pullthru sites have two each electric post, water hydrants, and sewer ports. One set towards the rear of site other about midway. Mowed grass in-between sites and not crowded. Shade is kinda short supply. This place is in My list stop here anytime. Wife dealt with the people on sign in and Sunday Afternoon, came back to Rig in a good mood so with that I'd say they were friendly. If Your hot there is a river that adjoins the Park.
TravelerAt an elevation of 8,950 ft, days are cool here, and the nights are even cooler. We were here in mid-July, and all the mountain flowers were in mid-bloom.
The campsites on the west side of the campground are the best (Loops A, B, and C). The sites on that side are well-spaced with lots of spruce and aspen trees between, and boast an amazing mountain garden of flowering plants that provide a beautiful privacy screen.
The vault toilets throughout the campground are clean and well-stocked, and even have garbage cans. There are water spigots at all of the toilets, and all of them were turned on when we were there. There are no RV water hookups, though.
Our favorite section is Loop C (Sites 15, 16, and 17). We stayed at Site 15, which worked well for our campervan, but the drive-through in which we parked our van would've been a little too steep if we hadn't had leveling blocks. Site 16 just up the road is very level. It also offers better options for pitching a tent compared to Site 15.
On the other side of Loop C, the only other campsite on the loop (# 17) provides excellent spots for tents, and is nicely secluded. The parking spot for Site 17 is pretty steep though, and there really isn't enough room for anything other than a short trailer.
As is normal for mid-July in the Wasatch, the mosquitos were out in full force. We had to douse ourselves in bug spray, and we still got more than just a few bites. The camp host (Michael) told me that normally they would have already sprayed for female mosquitos (i.e., the ones that bite), but budget cuts to the Forest Service have reduced the mosquito-abatement team to just one person, and this person is now the sole individual performing spraying for 88 different campgrounds in northern Utah.
There aren't a lot of hiking opportunities in the area other than an ATV trail that runs near the campground, but we were content just to chill in the cool mountain air and to stargaze at night.
TravelerThis is a great area to camp
