Best Glamping near Hooper, UT

We stayed in a yurt and it was an amazing experience! The yurt had a cozy gas powered fireplace. It got down to about 30 degrees but we were actually too hot. Beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Woke up to deer outside our yurt. Great experience!

This is a great place to take a small group for some winter backcountry fun not far from the city. There are more remote yurt options around, but this one feels pretty remote with its 2.5 mile hike in. It does tend to fill up fast so book early. It has a spacious bunk area with a nice wood burning stove that keeps everything toasty during the cold nights. Grab the gang and have a great time.

This was a nice spot tucked away from the interstate but not super far. Clean restrooms, nice staff. Stayed here twice on our trip to Moab. Plan on staying again on other trips to southern Utah

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.

Overall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups. 

 All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.

A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

This campground was spaced out nicely and the sites were roomy. Everything for RVs was at the campground. There were a few ADA spots and I took one which had more concrete pads to maneuver on as amputee.

This place has terrible bugs! Fantastic hiking. Recommend Frary Peak hike. Tons of wildlife.

Amazing scenery.

The lake is clear, shallow and warm for a good distance. There are a lot of bugs though.

The campground is small, and mostly RV residents. We stayed in one of a small handful of tent sites. Bathrooms are clean and there are two showers. We never did meet any staff, nor residents. It was very pretty... Until the wind hit. I have never encountered such winds! Had to chase everything! I guess they close the tent sites in winter. We stayed in early Sept. And we're told, by phone, that they weren't officially closed yet. $15 per night.

The campground is very spread out and provides lots of space between you & other campers, so that’s a plus. The views of the island mountains and the Great Salt Lake were another plus.

We visited in early May when the No See Ums were at their peak, so forget enjoying a campfire at dusk, or anything at dusk. Also, the campsites provide 0 protection from the wind. We were in a tent and 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.

Pit toilets were clean enough. Campsite was large & clean.

The campgrounds were very open with not many trees but a great view of the lake. We saw fox that came right up to our tent and lots of bison close by. Quiet place.

This was definitely a surprise, what a cool spot. Nice views, and bison will probably be grazing in your campsite. Did some exploring around to the south side of the island, enjoyed a nice sunset. It can get buggy, so be prepared.

There are several campgrounds you can choose from on Antelope island. We enjoyed the day hikes and wildlife on the island, including buffalo. The fee to cross the bridge and 10pm cutoff time was a bit of a pain but overall was very enjoyable camping and location. It can be smelly due to the location, but definitely some unique views that I recommend!

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.

Not a destination but nice stopover. Willard Bay much nicer. It's hot and the great salt lake is not where one wants to cool off.

The landscape is beautiful but 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.

Stayed here one night in Oct. 2015. Beautiful star gazing, great temps. A little buggy on the trails nearby, but no issues near the campsite. There were awnings for the picnic tables which was great, and it was a short walk to the Great Salt Lake! We don't advise mountain biking on the island though! We ended up with 4 flat tires. Also- there are cheap showers at the beach. ($1.50?)

Depending on the time of year, this place can be infested with bugs and flies. So plan accordingly. That being said, it is pretty awesome to see Buffalo.

Easy access, hidden beauty amongst a run down neighborhood , has a lake and a river

Very nice campsites with teepees available in the next two very large stocked freshwater pond we’re taking trails want to go yes

No longer allows overnight camping!

It’s a little exposed but love the easy in easy out and access to the bike path and nearby splash pad
