10 campgrounds with availability next weekend
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.
"Clean, friendly staff, convenient location, but construction across the street. Looks like a new neighborhood may be going in. This would drop the rating to a 3 but it is not their fault."

"Not very far from Brigham City at all. Easy to find and some roads are a little rough in the campgrounds. At least 30 established campsites with fire pits and lots of shade."
"The location is beautiful, and full of deer. My partner and I are just starting out full time rv life and this was the first spot we stayed at."
TravelerAbsolutely perfect. Everything was very clean from the bath house to the outdoor pool & hot tub and the self operated sauna with clear instructions. Pull thru parking. Leveling boards & step given. Great communication checking in after hours with late self check in. Great WiFi. Able to book with less than 24 hr notice. Would definitely come back!!
GuideNice little campground. Know what it is. Its a campground at a theme park. Noisy during the day. Stay here if your going to Cherry Hill. I wouldn't stay here without that due to better locations. Grassy spots get slick.
TravelerNice spot with grass between. Showers/toilets are down the hill and pretty far from our spot.
GuideYes the road in is rough but while I was there they graded the first half. I made it with a 20ft bus. Just go slow. The views are beautiful and it was very quiet. Loved walking out to the waters edge.
ScoutWe had car trouble and this spot was walking distance to a service shop. It was a perfect location and met our needs fabulously. The only downside was no trees.
LegendI know some people had a huge issue with bugs. Maybe its because we came towards the end of October. But the only issue with bugs we had were a few annoying flies. This place is absolutely stunning. Ended up staying 2 nights. One night was very windy since there isnt much to protect you from the wind. Bathrooms have showers and flush toilets. Literally no one was here after the Bison roundup weekend. And the sunsets were spectacular !
LegendI like that the spots are paved. Close to a road causing lots of traffic noise. Not much privacy between sites either. But lots of grassy places to play
LegendA nice campground. About to close for the season so I was the only one here. Its currently dry. The water was shut off and whatnot. Lots of spots. Some better than others! I bet this place would be stunning when the leaves are green and lush!
LegendI want to rate this sooo much higher. It is absolutely a beautiful area. But people leaving their trash behind ruins it. Lots of spots alone this road. Had no issues with anyone bothering us. 1 truck stopped just to let us know it was hunting season and people will be driving by at all hours of the night so bot to be worried.
