      Little Mill

      Stunning rock cliffs and cute creek

      I started at site 24 which was extremely shaded and had a cute little beach area along the creek. Then I stayed in site 10 which was more secluded from other sites but parking is just parallel to the main campground road. Site 10 was also a lot sunnier and had a more open view of the rock cliffs. After that I moved to site 7 for 2 nights and I did like the walk down stairs to my table and fire area, it made it feel more secluded from the other sites. I also liked the creek access. I stayed my last night in 24 which was a good balance of shade and openness. Also the cell service was a lot better at 22 and 24 as opposed to site 10 and 7.

      Willow Creek Campground — Willard Bay State Park

      No camp host available, no correct signage to direct us to our campsite

      First the campsite was very nice, we were at WIllow Creek site 161, we arrived late in the evening ( at dusk) the signs only indicated camp sites up to 159 so we stopped at the camp host and knocked on the door, no one came to the door, so we drove around trying to find our camp site. We finally found our site ( 161) which was not listed on any sign, frustration we didn't need. For that reason I will never camp there again. How difficult is it to change a sign?

      Cascade Springs Dispersed Site

      Incredible views! Very busy!

      Such amazing views throughout the whole drive and onto the trail. I’ve never been to a dispersed spot as busy as this. Every spot was filled and people drove up until about 7pm still looking for spots. It’s definitely a rich daddy money playground area. Incredible views still.

      Alexandria Dawn Cox-Berry

      Amazing people who make great company

      We spent 9 days on Alexandria’s property and it was nowhere near what we were expecting. In a great way! We got to spend that time loving on goats and met an amazing group of people otherwise we never would have! They were extremely kind and it was really quiet and peaceful. We made new friends and got to enjoy the peace. I hope someone else finds as much enjoyment as we did

      Blue Lake Loop Pond

      Beautiful Site, Watch for Bears

      We stayed at this campsite overnight and absolutely loved it. The pond was gorgeous & the site felt very remote and private. The drive up was very bumpy and rocky, with some incline but we made it up just fine in the RAV4. I would definitely recommend having 4 wheel drive.

      We did have a black bear walk into our campsite at around 8pm while we were putting our food away for the night. We ended up scaring it off, but we hung out in the car for a while. Definitely come prepared with proper food storage & bear spray if staying in the area.

      Brigham City-Perry South KOA

      Nice KOA but construction across street

      Nice KOA. Clean, friendly staff, convenient location, but construction across the street. Looks like a new neighborhood may be going in. This would drop the rating to a 3 but it is not their fault. Pool available on request. Our site seemed wider than some. For passing through it is great. Not sure I’d stay here for days unless needing to be in Brigham City. Peek view of the Great Salt Lake.

      Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

      Bison Town

      Wonderful views of Great Salt Lake. Plenty of bison. Other wildlife best seen hiking or biking on the trails, which are the ways this park is best seen. Bring mosquito netting for the “no-see-ums” in the Spring. Winnebago Travato with dogs.
