    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Amazing in the Right Season!

    One of our favorite state parks in Utah is only~45 minutes away from Salt Lake City! There are bison, antelope, deer, and many other animals that call this island home. On the west side of the island are extensive muds flats that give you one of the best sunset views in Utah. One of our favorite things to do on the island is hike Frary Peak which is the high point of the island. The top portion of the hike is a rocky scramble, but there are plenty of side trails to beautiful viewpoints during the hike. 

    As for the best season to visit the island, we are partial to winter due to the absolute lack of bugs and stunning contrast of the bison on fresh snow. Our 2nd favorite season is early spring before the bugs come out in full swarm! I wouldn't recommend visiting in late spring or summer as there are swarms of all kinds of biting bugs and the temps can be unbearable.

    Amazing sunsets

    This park is a great stopover on your way through Utah or weekend visit. The lake is clean and still very natural. The swans circling the water are something to see. Lots of shade rustic but serviceable showed. A bit pricy at 30 a night but right off the highway and no real traffic noise.

    White Rock Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Amazing Sunsets but no Shade

    Hands down the best campground for sunset views on all of Antelope Island!  The sunsets in the fall, and winter are the best as the bugs have gone down considerably and therefore you won't get eaten alive!  Hues of all different kinds of colors reflect off the perfect mirror surface of the Great Salt Lake and give you an endless sunset much like at the Bonneville Salt Flats.  I would have given this campground 5 stars if there was any shade whatsoever but there isn't any!

    This campground is pretty primitive in that there is no drinking water available and only vault toilets available with picnic tables and a fire ring at each campsite.  There are only 20 sites with 2 equestrian sites that go for 40$ a night.  The closest drinking water is at Bridger Bay Campground and there is also a grill on the island that is open during the summer.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    A place for open minds

    Going into Antelope Island we had the voices of the critics in our minds: sand is too hot, it is too smelly, the brine flies etc; we were pleasantly surprised. I do believe that the circumstances can change, like the lake level, on a daily basis.

    Badger bay is a no amenity, basic campground with a commanding view of the salt lake. There are vault toilets and shaded picnic tables. All of the sites accommodate small RVs, some of the sites may not provide a level tent pad. 2 was terrific! The sites are pretty roomy too.

    We loved going for a dip in the lake. We went early on a late June morning before the sand became too hot, and walked the distance barefoot. We only noticed the wet dog smell as we entered the park—but that could change. The brine flies were actually pretty cool. They only hang out on the shoreline for a small distance. They don’t bite and they left our path in droves as though they were enacting the parting of the sea. Honestly, I find houseflies buzzing around my head to be more irritating. The water was smooth and partial buoyancy is cool. Swimmers would be advised to keep cuts out of the water. The brine shrimp don’t bother anyone and float around like typical lake debris.

    There are showers at the swimming beach close to the campground. There are basic no-soap cold water rinse showers outside and private pay showers too; bring quarters.

    ☀️🏔🧡

    By far one of my favorite stops through Utah ❤️ absolutely breathtaking views, along with scenic routes to see wildlife such as the bison. They had selective campground area sectioned off near the Bay Area, and also group camping spots that where much larger and secluded near the Bay Area as well.

    Hyrum State Park Campground

    Overall great spot!!

    We booked this campsite later into the season so we were lucky to get a spot. We have a pop up and although we didn't get a spot with electricity, it ended up being a great stay! The campground is also a day use area for boats so there is beach access which is great. Facilities are nice and well maintained. The only thing that was annoying is that 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. It's a residential area and a lot of the street parking is restricted since it's close to the boat ramp. You'd think they would at least have a code you could use after hours! Seems strange it would close that early when it's so close to Logan, a college town. Our site, number 7 had lots of shade, close to the restrooms but was close to the road and away from the lake.

    North Fork County Park

    Something for everyone

    This campground has been a friends and family favorite for many years.

    My husband and I recently took our toddler and infant here and had a blast. They found joy in simply throwing pebbles in the creek and making mud. Before we had kids, we would bike and hike along the different trails. There’s a short waterfall hike, but also a long hike that will take you up to Ben Lomond Peak & cut across to Willard Peak. Go when there’s no smoke and you’ll have breathtaking views (I’d say May & June are your best bet).

    Back to camping: there’s a tiny-creek front, meadow, shaded and unshaded, and a specific area for if you bring horses. You choose what you want.

    You can reserve a spot (we did this and were very grateful since we had to keep leaving and coming back). We had service this last time too in July 2021 for the first time (T-Mobile). Hubby was able to work remotely just fine.

    Cottonwood Campground — Willard Bay State Park

    I-15 traffic noise

    Nice facilities, paved pull-thru and back in spots. I checked in around 8 pm and found no one at the entrance booths but there are provisions to leave a cash payment in an envelope and drop into a slot. The traffic noise from I-15 is quite present. It's very distracting and probably the loudest I've experienced. On the bright side, it is easy to access being right off the exit.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Great Spot, even in December!

    We traveled to Utah from California for our annual Christmas camping adventure. This was our first spot, and it was a wonderful place to start. We don’t have to worry about the bugs, being it’s December. There were a few other campers, but there were a few others.


Guide to Corinne

Camping options near Corinne, Utah extend beyond developed sites to include primitive backcountry areas. Located in Box Elder County at approximately 4,230 feet elevation, the region experiences hot, dry summers and cold winters with moderate snowfall. Campers often encounter temperature swings of 30°F between day and night, especially during spring and fall camping seasons.

What to do

Hike to waterfalls: North Fork County Park connects to trails leading to hidden waterfalls. "There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park. It's a must!" shares a reviewer about North Fork County Park.

Mountain biking trails: Extensive trail networks provide varying difficulty levels for cyclists. "Excellent mountain bike trails also. Can't wait to go back and ride more of them," notes another North Fork visitor who camped "in the canyon near the trailhead for the waterfall hike."

Wildlife viewing: Antelope Island offers opportunities to see bison, pronghorn, and unique bird species. "We even did the East Island drive and saw Burrowing Owls," reports a camper at Bridger Bay Campground, who also mentioned seeing "Bison and Pronghorn."

Water recreation: Multiple reservoirs provide swimming, fishing, and boating options from spring through fall. "The lake is clean and still very natural. The swans circling the water are something to see," writes a visitor to Willard Bay State Park.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many campgrounds offer good separation between campsites. "The sites were plenty big, each had a fire pit and picnic table and were close to legit toilets," notes a camper at North Fork Park, while another mentions "there are so many spots, and they are all very private."

Equestrian access: While limited horse facilities exist near Corinne, Utah, some dispersed areas accommodate riders. At Franklin Basin Dispersed Camping, a reviewer notes it's "the perfect location for anyone looking for places to hike or ride," mentioning "old logging trails" among the features.

Waterfront camping: Several campgrounds offer direct access to water. At Hyrum State Park, one visitor appreciated being "right on a small lake with a boat ramp and a small beach" and noted the campground is "totally fenced and gated."

Night skies: The area provides excellent stargazing opportunities away from city lights. A camper at Antelope Island mentioned "Beautiful star gazing, great temps," and reported "we don't advise mountain biking on the island though! We ended up with 4 flat tires."

What you should know

Bug activity: Biting insects can be problematic, particularly at waterfront sites. At White Rock Bay Campground, a visitor warned, "I cannot stress to you enough the amount of biting gnats there were. It was unbearable for us and bug spray didn't deter them one bit."

Wind exposure: Many sites lack natural windbreaks. "The wind shook our tent back and forth all night. No sleep. But the views getting out of the tent in the morning were incredible," reported a camper at White Rock Bay.

Highway noise: Several campgrounds sit near major roads. A visitor to Willard Bay noted, "The campground is literally right off the NB/SB freeway... your day and night will be filled with freeway noises."

Gate closing times: Some parks enforce strict entrance hours. At Hyrum State Park, a camper observed, "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."

Tips for camping with families

Accessible recreation: Look for family-friendly activities near campsites. At Willard Bay State Park, a camper noted, "There's a nature trail through the grounds, a nice playground, and a 5 min walk to the beach."

Shaded spots: Secure sites with natural cover for summer camping. "This campground has been a friends and family favorite for many years," shares a North Fork visitor who recommends: "There's a tiny-creek front, meadow, shaded and unshaded, and a specific area for if you bring horses. You choose what you want."

Local attractions: Explore nearby towns for family activities. A visitor to Willard Bay suggests: "Recommendations from a Utahn: Maddox Fine Food (Dinner), Call's Drive In (Delicious Burgers), Smith & Edwards (Attraction / Grocer / Shopping—Must See)."

Site selection: Research specific site numbers for better experiences. At North Fork Park, a family notes "CW8 & CW9 are great for 5 families because they're connected by a little road, and the very 1st site coming in through the middle gate is great for a small family!"

Tips from RVers

Large rig accommodations: Most dispersed areas can handle bigger setups. At Franklin Basin, a reviewer mentioned "Big pull-in spots for camper rigs. And some small side pull outs for sedans who don't mind walk-in tent spots."

Hookup availability: Full-service sites exist but book quickly. At Dock Flat Campground, one visitor noted they had "Plenty of spots for rv/campers and tent campers" and mentioned "Enough Verizon reception to FaceTime with the family."

Reservation timing: Plan ahead for peak season visits. At Hyrum State Park, an RVer shared: "Very peaceful and enjoyable! It is totally fenced and gated. The gates close at 10pm and open at 6am."

Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds offer sanitary dumps. "For $40 a night and no ability to even take a look to pick a site as a walk up, I would look for another place to stay further off the freeway," advised an RVer about Willard Bay, noting "the sewer is toward the back, not the middle so bring lots of sewer hose."
