Best Campgrounds near Farr West, UT

Camping options near Farr West, Utah include several developed facilities within a short drive of the city. Willard Bay State Park offers multiple campgrounds such as South Marina and Cottonwood, providing access to freshwater recreation with both tent and RV sites. North Fork County Park in Eden and Century RV Park in Ogden expand the range of accommodations to include cabins, yurts, and glamping options. Most established campgrounds in the area maintain picnic tables, fire rings, and designated parking, while amenities like showers, hookups, and drinking water vary by location.

Many campgrounds in the Farr West vicinity operate seasonally, with most facilities open from early April through late September. Winter closures affect higher elevation sites, particularly in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest areas. A visitor commented that "very clean and quaint campground right next to a busy interstate that is very noisy 24/7" about South Marina Campground, highlighting how proximity to I-15 creates accessibility but impacts noise levels at some locations. Full hookup sites for RVs are concentrated in the developed state park campgrounds and private facilities like Century RV Park, while more rustic options can be found in county parks.

Waterfront access represents a major draw for campers in the region, with Willard Bay State Park providing both marina access and swimming beaches. Reviews indicate variable experiences with insects, particularly at waterfront locations. One camper noted that "mosquitoes attacked me like I was in the Florida Everglades" at South Marina, suggesting repellent is essential during summer months. Highway proximity creates convenience but compromises solitude at several locations. North Fork County Park receives consistently positive reviews for its more secluded setting, with visitors reporting excellent stargazing opportunities and spacious sites. Most campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer weekends. Pricing varies significantly, from approximately $25 for basic sites to $60 for full-service locations with water and electrical hookups.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful spot for overnight

    Stopped here for a scenic spot to relax for the day and overnight.
    Nice level asphalt spots. Beautiful view of the lake. Saw bison and antelope driving in the park

    Middle Fork Conservation Area

    Great spot!

    My family and I were driving through and needed a place to stay for the night. We camped the first night that lot camping was allowed (9/10) so it was quiet and peaceful. It is down a dirt road in a valley surrounded by cattle and deer and elk. Beautiful sunset and moonrise. A local ranger came by to chat and told us it can get busy with local homeless people and drug users, just FYI. But overall we felt completely safe and our neighbors were nice and friendly!

    Big crowded TV park

    It really depends on what you are looking for, if you to be in the city and don’t mind confined campgrounds then this is for you. Showers, laundry, pool, hot tub and store.

    Pony Express RV Resort

    Nice compact

    Like others have said…if you want space to spread out this is not the place for you.

    If you’re looking for a place that is convenient, full hook up, level concrete pads, subdivision desperate house wife’s camping addition this is the place to be!

    100.00 per night is high, in my opinion. For one adult and a cocker who doesn’t make a sound. Rare I know.

    Like many other places who advertise free wifi might as well plan on using your phone or star link or whatever you may have.

    If I planned on staying for a few months I would consider staying here. Only if they had a hefty monthly discounted rate. I think the state parks would be a better option for a one or two night stay.

    Hyrum State Park Campground

    Small peaceful state park

    We love state parks and decided to try Hyrum Stare Park for a couple of nights as we were heading south. This state park is basically in the middle of a neighborhood of a small community. Locals seem to love it but it’s not crowded at all.. It’s right on a small lake with a boat ramp and a small beach. The campground is small… about 8 or 9 sites with w/e and about a dozen sites with dry camping. All the sites are paved (even the dry camping sites) and level. Grassy and shady on most sites. Two bathhouses and a dump on site. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. They also have a couple of cabins available. No store but there is a few things close by to get ice and a few things. It is totally fenced and gated. The gates close at 10pm and open at 6am. Very peaceful and enjoyable!

    North Fork County Park

    Hidden Gem

    Had a great stay at North Fork. Camped in the canyon near the trailheaad for the waterfall hike. We stayed at campsite 6 which was great, but they were all really nice. Excellent mountain bike trails also. Can't wait to go back and ride more of them.
