What to do
Hiking opportunities: North Fork County Park offers trails for various skill levels, with several leading to scenic viewpoints. "There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park," says Debbie P. The park provides easy access to both casual and challenging terrain.
Beach activities: Cottonwood Campground — Willard Bay State Park provides direct lake access for swimming during summer months. A camper notes, "The lake is clean and still very natural. The swans circling the water are something to see." Beach areas are maintained throughout the season with sandy shores at multiple entry points.
Stargazing: Box Elder Campground has excellent night sky visibility due to minimal light pollution and protective tree cover. According to Connor O., visitors appreciated "lots of shade, beautiful area" with clear views of stars after sunset. The campground's elevation and distance from city lights create ideal conditions for astronomy enthusiasts.

What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Mosquitoes and other insects become problematic at lakeside campgrounds during summer months. At Cottonwood Campground, Rara B. warns, "With citronella candles, bug sprays and bug deterrent bracelets, the mosquitoes and other bugs were relentless." Insect activity peaks during June and July.
Gate restrictions: Some state parks enforce strict entry/exit times. At Hyrum State Park Campground, Sandra W. notes, "They lock the front gate at 10PM so if you are out after that time, you have to park your car on the street and walk to your campsite." Similar rules apply at several area campgrounds.
Noise factors: Dock Flat Campground provides free dispersed camping but experiences heavy recreational traffic. "Awesome spots everywhere, but super busy with ATV's," reports Rory R. Traffic from Interstate 15 affects several campgrounds in the area, particularly those closest to the highway.
Tips for camping with families
Group sites: North Fork County Park accommodates large family gatherings with connected sites. Anastasia E. recommends, "We stayed in the group A site with a bunch of families and 15 kids ages 2-10. Tons of shade, picnic tables, and seating around the fire pit. The kids had a blast playing in the creek."
Water recreation: Hyrum State Park Campground provides safe swimming areas for children. "Great camping, the host is really nice, it's clean, has great bathrooms and a great view of the lake!" says Rachel G. The park offers gradual-entry beach areas suitable for younger swimmers.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. The playground at Willow Creek Campground includes standard equipment while being close enough to campsites for parents to monitor from a distance.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Brigham City-Perry South KOA requires careful positioning for utilities access. Jen R. advises, "They pack them in tight here! Each pitch is no wider than 15', which actually makes it pretty challenging to back in." Many sites require specific approaches to align properly with hookups.
WiFi reliability: Connectivity varies widely between campgrounds. At Willard Peak Campground, Luvie S. reports, "WiFi did not work the whole time I was there, so be aware and plan accordingly. If you need fast internet, this is not your place."
Hookup locations: Pay attention to utility placement when setting up. Laura K. at Cottonwood Campground notes, "Hookups were in good shape, note the sewer is toward the back, not the middle so bring lots of sewer hose." RV sites at state parks typically require longer connections than private campgrounds.
