RV camping near Brigham City, Utah offers easy access to outdoor activities and mountain landscapes around the 4,300-foot elevation town. Located at the western base of the Wellsville Mountains, camping options span from the Interstate corridors to more secluded spots near hot springs and recreation areas. Spring and fall bring moderate temperatures ideal for exploring the area.
What to do
Bird watching at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge: Located 15 miles west of Brigham City, the refuge offers prime wildlife viewing. "We found the best coffee shop of the trip yet! You must try Buzzbru coffee so good and if you like bbq J Brian's smokehouse had the best ribs/burgers/potato salad and sugar cookie. Bear lake is a must do and so much good in Utah!" notes a visitor at Aspen Grove RV Park.
Hot spring soaking: Natural mineral waters provide year-round relaxation. "We went in the winter and we were able to jump into the hot springs and my family loved. We would be going every winter as it isn't too far from salt Lake City," writes a camper at Belmont Hot Springs RV Park.
Mountain biking and hiking: Access trails along the Weber River corridor. "There is a trailhead right down the road that is along the Weber River. Mountain bike or hike, you will have a good time," explains a reviewer who stayed at Riverside RV Resort.
What campers like
Spacious RV sites: Many parks offer larger-than-average spaces between sites. "The place was nice and new. There is a dog park area and access to a trail which runs along the river. There is a lot of noise from the interstate and the nearby Air Force base," shares a visitor at Riverside RV Resort.
Clean facilities: Consistently maintained bathrooms and showers receive positive mentions. "New RV park & sparkling clean. Large clubhouse with all amenities & beautifully decorated! Dog park and nice laundry/shower facilities. Efficient and friendly check-in procedures," notes a visitor at Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah.
Mountain views: The Wellsville range creates scenic backdrops at many sites. "Very safe and nice spot to stay with kids. Gated entry is a plus for me, and the staff is so kind and welcoming," shares a family who stayed at Valley View RV Resort.
What you should know
Seasonal availability: Many campgrounds operate year-round while others have limited seasons. "We planned a 2 night stay on long trip to do laundry and pickup a few things. The maintenance manager was in early and we were able to fill propane tank before departure," explains a camper at Aspen Grove RV Park.
Noise considerations: Some sites experience traffic, aircraft, or train noise. "The interstate is 20 yards from the first row of sites. It was constant traffic noise 24/7. Sometimes it would slow up a little bit so that you could hear the airplanes flying overhead, or the train going by on the track that are 30 yards away," warns a reviewer about Riverside RV Resort.
Fire restrictions: Fire policies vary significantly between parks. "It was a great weekend get away, the staff is nice but it was sad to see they don't allow any sort of fire (no charcoal or wood)," notes a visitor at Golden Spike RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Security features: Look for gated entry points for added safety. "Private RV secured area with RV laundry and shower facilities. Private fenced in dog parks in RV area separate from gas station. Quiet area which is perfect. Back in and pull through available," reports a visitor at Love's RV Stop.
Recreational amenities: Pools and playground areas provide on-site entertainment. "Convenient location right off the highway with full hook ups and nice paved sites. Dog areas, playground, games, and a pool. Easy access to the Jordan River Trail for running, biking, or sunset walks," notes a camper at Pony Express RV Resort.
Spacing between sites: Parks with larger sites reduce noise issues between families. "This place is amazing. Secluded and dark but flat, impeccably clean EVERYTHING! The spots were ENORMOUS! And spaced very liberally," explains a visitor at Aspen Grove RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Big rig accessibility: Several parks accommodate larger vehicles with dedicated spaces. "Great place to overnight while passing through northern Utah. Huge full hookup sites with concrete pads. Nice and quiet despite being near the intersection of I-15 and I-84," shares an RVer who stayed at Aspen Grove RV Park.
Utilities and hookups: Full service connections with 50-amp service are widely available. "This is a pretty decent park. There are a lot of amenities, clean facilities, and concrete pads. The sites are pretty close together so if you like your space, this probably isn't the best place," notes a camper at Pony Express RV Resort.
Seasonal considerations: Planning around air travel patterns affects noise levels. "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," reports a visitor at Valley View RV Resort.
