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!

This beautiful campground lies close to the end of St Charles Canyon near the Minnetonka Cave. It has 2 sections one of which is mainly for rvs and the 2nd which is for tents and camper Van's. The RV spots seemed kind of close but the tent sites had ample room along with metal fire rings and picnic tables. There was a vault toilet up near the rvs and down by the tent sites

Scout
Beautiful view but the tent sites are small and right next to the road. The bathrooms were not being maintained, the smell spread across the campsite.
Scout
Great tent sites, large & clean. Campground hosts take pride & keep everything tidy. Neighbors can be noisy during quiet hours, but that is no fault other than immature college kids.
Traveler
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.

Sunrise CG is located right of hwy 89 about 10 minutes west of Garden City. The CG sits above Bear Lake. The sites are pretty spacious, heavily wooded with good shade. There are picnic tables and fire rings at each site. There are 27 sites available. There are no hooks or dump stations. There a vault toilets and no showers. there is drinking wager available. This CG can accommodate walk in tent camping to RVs. You can reserve some sites on rec.gov.
This was a good stop that was convenient on the way through northern Utah. The camp host was awesome and funny.
Traveler
Stayed overnight while passing through. Super clean park, bathrooms were very clean and well lit. I got a tent site with electric hook up, spot is long so you have plenty of space along with a small grill. No fire ring rings at the spots due to closeness but there is a community place for fires with firewood. Was able to check in at any time and it was super easy. Saw a double rainbow when I woke up haha perfect.

I had never been to a KOA campground before but we were driving cross country and were tired. For $43 for a tent site we got a nice patch of grass and a fire pit. It’s clean and comfortable, but definitely a busy place. You are right next to your neighbor but they do try and put you in every-other site for space. Great bathroom facilities, dog park, amenities.
It really depends on what you like. We are tent campers that like forest service campgrounds so this is too busy for us. But a nice spot.

We we staying in a tent site. All of the potable water was still shut off. When we were booking the site all of them were taken but when we arrived there were only 3 campers. Lots of bugs. We changed our site to a full hookup site in the south marina which is even more awkward. It is a parking lot with hook ups. No privacy. We stayed one night and then opted to stay at a near by KOA and just ate the cost of the state campground. Would not stay here again.
RangerThis 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.

The Lagoon RV Park has a lot to offer from tent sites to huge pull throughs for the biggest rigs. Right next door to the Lagoon Amusement Park, it is super convenient. Lots of grass and some decent space between sites. We stayed during the Halloween Fright weekend and from Wednesday to Friday at around 2pm, we were about the only ones there. Then the place exploded with campers and by 7pm the place was full. Nice bike and hike trails near by. Close to Salt Lake city. Don't miss the Big Cottonwood Canyon Drive up to Park City. Amazing.
GuideEveryone 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.
TravelerI arrived at around 6:30 PM with no reservation and had no issues. The guy at the front gate was a peach, super kind and helpful. It’s $25 a night for a tent site. He set me up in site 106 which is about 50 feet away from the (very clean) bathrooms/showers and 100 feet from the lake. The crickets SCREAM at night and there’s some noise from the interstate. There’s also a gas station right outside the park entrance. Plenty of other people camping here but everyone is quiet and respectful. I have 4 bars of 5G with ATT. They also spray for mosquitoes so bugs aren’t really an issue.
GuideDeluxe 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.
Traveler
Me and my kids stay for only one night, but I was very impressed how clean the campground was. It has one bathroom area, and was right next to the Logan River. I only marked it down for small camping areas for tenting sites right next to River but would’ve been just fine for Campers. They had plenty of room for vehicles in each spot. Great start gazing as well at night not allot of bugs either.

This is a huge campground that sits on the south side of Pineview Reservoir that has a multitude of options for camping and day trips as well as a marina. The first Forest Service Campground you'll encounter heading up Ogden Canyon and the only major campground on the south side of Pineview. There are 58 single sites for 28$ as well as additional tent sites that are cheaper for 21$. There are also 9 double sites and 4 group sites along with parking for boat trailers and day use for picnic and beach access. Every site has a metal fire ring and a varying amount of picnic tables. There is a small convenience store kin the reservation hut as well as vault toilets and drinking water spigots spread throughout the campground.
For fun things to do in the area look no further than Pineview Reservoir just to the north! From chilling on the beach to fishing from shore or swimming. There are many options for easy, cheap recreation direct from camp. There is also a boat launch ramp right in the campground that makes it easy to spend the day motor boating around the reservoir. Just down canyon there is also a decent amount of decent climbing on some good to high quality quartzite rock.

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.
RangerGreat for tents if your okay with no hookups.

Stayed at Mormon Flat campground. It's a little hard to find, but we did drive in at night so that was half the problem. The group site was really nice because you can set up tents wherever so it doesn't limit your tent size! Overall a great spot and really pretty!
Guide
Nice camping spots with tables and big fire pit. Lots of room for tents or campers. Also beautiful scenery.
ScoutPlenty of spots for rv/campers and tent campers. Had my own quiet spot with a great view of the stars. Enough Verizon reception to FaceTime with the family.
Scout
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.
Traveler
Site has limited spots and some has diffent levels from your tent to the bench to the firepit. Farmington creek trail connects to the south side, under .50 miles is a waterfall you can climb down to. Just north of the campsite a small trail take you to 2 benches that overlook the canyon. We had some deer next to our tent half the night eating, saw some rat snakes, squrrails and a lizard. This site does not allow ATV's, dirt bikes or any kind of 4 wheeler. Also no RV will be able to fit, though 1 guy got a pop up to fit in one spot.
