Best Tent Camping near Brigham City, UT

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. A lot of hiking and star gazing available. No Services whatsoever except I have T-Mobile and I have great reception with the JeXstream mobile hotspot extender. No Creeks or water but a beautiful place if you bring everything you need. Didn't hear any shots but shooting is allowed, and you might encounter people on ATVs or staying up late partying but you live with what you can find!

We have stayed there for three years and love the place. Very clean all over. The staff goes out of their way to accommodate us. The sites are easy to back in to. Great tent sites also.

This was the first time that we stayed in a yurt, and it is a game changer.  It is honestly so nice once in a while to not have to put up camp or break camp.  For a nice, glamping getaway this is the place to be.  The grounds are beautiful, the host is kind, it is so quiet, and there was a lot of wildlife.  I recommend it for those who don't want to miss the comforts that they have at home, or just for those of us who tent camp and want to make is even more special once in a while.

Everyone here was so nice and the staff was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating. Good spacing between tent sites, and they were spacious. It’s set up in a loop with all the amenities right in the middle so no matter where your spot is you’re just a tiny stroll away. Heated pool when it’s in season, and they seem to host a lot of fun events! I missed the ice cream social sadly. They also have air hockey and a ping pong table in the office building. This was my favourite KOA so far!

Note: Bring bug spray! I got bit a fair amount by mosquitoes.

Deluxe RV sites offer more space and privacy while standard ones are in a loop next to tent sites. Wifi is OK, T-Mobile cell service is 1 bar even with booster. ATT is 3 bars. The park is across the main road from the lake with no direct access so you’ll need to pack up the car and drive to the marina, state park or one of the smaller beaches down the road. The speed limit on main road is 50 and there isn’t a sidewalk so it’s not great for running or biking. There is however a nice bike path about 2 miles down the road. The water at Bear Lake is absolutely stunning! Clear and turquoise blue - we recommend driving up the road to the North beach in Idaho!

Really loved staying here. We spent 4 days—between Thursday to Sunday—with full hookups at site 38. We were greeted pretty promptly by one of the camp hosts who maintains the campground. The camp hosts were super nice and helpful and it was evident that they really cared for the campground.

This campground sits right in the south bank of Weber river and there are a few short trails you could take to walk around the river, fish, or swim.

To get to this campground, we used Apple Maps and it was listed under “Riverbridge RV Park.” You’ll drive over a narrow bridge and there are three rows of RV sites with full hookups. Beyond the RV sites are a grassy area with a bunch of giant trees for tent camping, although a few people used this area for dry camping in their RVs.

We stayed here in a 29ft pull behind and there were several rigs larger than us. Would definitely stay here again for a weekend in Morgan.

We were road tripping through with no reservations. The whole South Fork area has many campgrounds. Magpie is the first and one of the smaller of the campgrounds as you drive up the canyon. We drove through all the campgrounds and didn’t find any hosts to talk with to find out if we could occupy a spot. We thought it would be ok but weren’t sure if we could stay in a spot that had a weekend reservation posted. Plus there was simultaneously not very much shade and lots of overgrown vegetation that made tent camping not very feasible. All the sites with actual river frontage were occupied and most folks had campers. This was especially true at South Fork, Lower Meadows, Upper Meadows & Perception Park campgrounds. We finally found a host at Willows campground who explained the process but we didn’t see any sites we liked there. Magpie actually had some shaded sites so we headed back down there. We grabbed a spot that had no obvious river access but good shade right next to the host site. It was pretty overgrown but had enough of a flat spot to set up our tent and a big concrete pad for the picnic table and huge fire ring. Midweek it was only half full. Campground is literally mere feet from the road. Lots of road noise. Bathrooms were good enough. The host when he finally came around was very nice. The adjacent site was vacant (a double site that cost more $$) and we were able to get to the river there. We stayed two nights mid week and it never filled up but all the sites had weekend reservations. There isn’t a lot of hiking but if you like river recreation or we saw lots of paddle boarders headed up to the reservoir. We drove up Monte Cristo which was still closed for the season but probably would have been more our style. Birding was good around the campground probably due to the river. Again, road noise was annoying but expected. Also note that the forest service’s website was out of date as far as all the campgrounds in this area being open.

Conestoga Ranch is a destination that gives luxury a down home feel.

 Located in Garden City, Utah on the beautiful Bear Lake Conestoga Ranch offers luxury tents and a chance to stay in a covered wagon.

I stayed in a larger, more luxurious site because my wife and I were on our Anniversary weekend.

The tent had a king bed, shower, and deep claw foot tub. The decor is charmingly rustic with log furnishings and tin and raw pipe for plumbing and accessories, this is all intentional and makes the experience even better.

Onsite, there are clean shower rooms and rest rooms, laundry facilities, an arcade, and a very fine restaurant and lounge.

Upon check in, you park by the office and a attendant takes you and your gear up to your site, later on a fire concierge will come and start your fire as you relax and take in all the beauty around you.

Bear Lake offers so much opportunity for recreation, from boating, to side x side rentals to beaches, mountain biking and some shopping.

This luxury comes at a price...a pretty steep price for camping, rates vary, but staying before memorial day gave us the better rate. 

I do think that the price is worth the wonderful experiences that we had at this fun little place.

Have a great time.

Nice camping spots with tables and big fire pit. Lots of room for tents or campers. Also beautiful scenery.

Great camping for tents or RVs. Large group sites, open and semi-secluded, has a creek running through the campground and some decent hiking nearby. Close to reservoir for more recreation.
