Campers can expect privacy within the campsite area and will be notified of anyone else present on the property via the app.

      FREE amenities! Your campsite rental includes the use of of hiking poles, outdoor games, mountain bikes and fishing gear. Explore the beautiful mountain roads, cast your line into nearby Bobcat Springs for some cozy pond fishing or pursue the majestic views with a hike on the nearby Rocky Point Reserve trail.

      Easy to find, Free spots, Verizon signal

      Plenty of spots for rv/campers and tent campers. Had my own quiet spot with a great view of the stars. Enough Verizon reception to FaceTime with the family.

      Absolutely Perfect

      We could not have asked for a more perfect spot. The views were immaculate, the sites were very spread out, it was the end of September and all the leaves were changing.

      No notes. Can’t recommend this spot enough.

      Good enough

      Got in around 945, nobody at the gate. Was and to have a choice of several spots for my campervan. Nothing with a killer view of the water, but I did have a nice view in the morning of the mountains. It was fine.

      Decent water destination!

      We went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.

      Beautiful Views

      Beautiful views of the lake. Hook ups were really easy to use for the trailer. Bugs were minimal. Bathrooms were very clean. You’ll check in when you enter the park and if you don’t have a reservation, they’ll assign you a spot at the gate and have you pay there.

      Beautiful, well maintained, one of our favs

      We found a FF site right by the creek, close to the cold canyon waterfall trail head. The water levels were high so the creek was running pretty fast which made it loud but honestly it drowned out any noise from neighbors a it was perfect. Love the hikes, love the shade, just an awesome camp site.

      Toilets flush! Just gotta bring a light

      Close enough to drive to town for anything you might have forgotten.

      Willow Creek — Willard Bay State Park

      Very busy but well maintained campground

      Follow the signs to the "new entrance" -- but it's well marked and well staffed.  The campgrounds are well marked, but we found that our site was actually accessible going the opposite direction from the signage. So we went around the loop but this would have put the utilities on the passenger side, not the driver side.  So we went back through the loop the opposite way (be careful of opposing traffic and there's limited space to maneuver, but this is the only way to properly access certain sites).  

      The picnic table had a gazebo over it, but it was occupied by wasps.  We weren't planning to use it anyway as this was only a stopover for us, but this is something to be aware of.  50amp service worked great which was important for both air conditioners to work on this 102 degree day!  

      Overall the camp ground was super quiet.  Keep in mind that there are no in/out privileges after 10pm.  If you leave, you may not be able to get back in and this is documented on the checkin documentation.  There is plenty of good grocery shopping for supplies located to the north and south (I went north).  Beautiful campground but the sun and heat are a little relentless so be prepared with good AC, shade/awnings and other cooling methods.

      Intake Campground — Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest

      Surprisingly beautiful/secluded

      Was worth the slight detour off the highway to have a nice spot while nearing SLC. Intake was a great surprise, creekside, private, and cool rock formations. It’s pretty desolate so it wasn’t my safest-feeling night as a solo traveler, but the specialness was worth it.

      True, free dispersed camping!

      Not very far from Brigham City at all. Easy to find and some roads are a little rough in the campgrounds. At least 30 established campsites with fire pits and lots of shade. A lot of hiking and star gazing available. No Services whatsoever except I have T-Mobile and I have great reception with the JeXstream mobile hotspot extender. No Creeks or water but a beautiful place if you bring everything you need. Didn't hear any shots but shooting is allowed, and you might encounter people on ATVs or staying up late partying but you live with what you can find!

      Skull Valley Rd Dispersed Camping

      (Along 196) Endless off road fun and private dispersed

      First of all there is no pull out at the coordinates. In fact it represents just as a reference for the highway road off the 80 highway you go along 196 and there are pull off roads leading to either straight up the side of a mountain or along the valley.

      I parked at lone rock which is basically just a shooting range. You name it they obliterated it with ammo. Oh well I climbed to the top of the lone rock which was pretty epic. Fucking windy night and dusty I hate dust so much. Maybe if I parked down road inside the sagebrush it would have broke the wind. Also lone rock was full of trash :(

      Glad I live in lush Colorado away from these deserts. Except alamoda area I guess.

      Really good with little bad

      Especially if you get here before sunset, you can hike a little ways up the mountain and watch the sun go down, but once it does start to go down it gets real windy. All the breeze from the salt flats comes right your way. This location is also right in an outdoor shooting range with multiple spots so that’s a plus if you’re looking for entertainment. As a bonus for me at least, it’s close enough to the road that getting back to it won’t be a problem, and I don’t think the noise will be a factor because the wind takes the cake. Dirt road is also real rough, probably not for sedans.

      Clean quiet camp with 30A and water, showers and flush toilets! Next to historic union pacific rail trail for hiking and biking (many goatheads so plan accordingly- tubeless?) Runs from dam to park city about 28mi. Be sure and visit the coalville ledge and it's many mud swallows.

      Beautiful campground

      This site was very big & the creek surrounded on two sides. It even had 2 picnic tables. When we were here, this part of the campground was empty across from us & site beside us was empty which we loved! We got to listen to the birds. The campground kids enjoying the playground & pool were on the other side of the creek beyond a thick stand of trees.

      Cottonwood — Willard Bay State Park

      Convenient and easy overnight stop but expensive and buggy

      We did not have reservations and with two long back to back travel days heading home, we needed an easy place to land close to the interstate.  $60 for one night electric and water which we did not need for our teardrop, but all sites were the same price which included park fees.  

      Very nice staff and host found us a spot with which even had a limited view of the lake.  Site was brand new with pull through that would easily accommodate a larger rig.  Had a nice pavilion type cover over the picnic table, fire ring, and restrooms and showers were new in the section we were staying in.   

      As sun went down the mosquitos started to swarm and chased us inside.  Haven't experienced that level of bugginess outside of several of the swamps we camped at in the southeast.  Middle of the night a skunk visited our campsite and hung around for quite a while.  Traffic noise from I-15 was excessive.   

      Don't let the pictures fool you.  Views were ok in most directions but what I did not show was the large commercial storage yard used by the park service which was directly next door to our campsite.  Fee's should have been much lower given the location but we did not have reservations and were fortunate to get a site.  

      If camping in a traditional RV this is an ok option, and it is cheaper than some of the commercial campgrounds nearby.  Would stay here again if we needed an easy overnight stopover as the location is terrific.

      Poor customer service, tight sites, very noisy

      Avoid this RV Park at all costs! I made a W/E reservation at this park months in advance only to discover the clerk at check in forced me into a FHU spot. So instead of the agreed 45/night, it was 70/night! The reason I was given was because the water was not working in the less expensive site. I explained I could fill up my fresh water tank, then went and looked at the"site" and it was nothing but regular sized passenger vehicle parking! There was no way my 27 foot class c would fit, I explained this to the"supervisor", she seemed to be unmoved by my dissatisfaction and would not budge on the price of the FHU site at all! 1/2 block away is the very busy and noisy I-15, and sites are about 6-8 feet next to each other! Poor customer service, very noisy, and way to close to the next camper make this campground horrible.

      Such a friendly site!

      Everyone here was so nice and the staff was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating. Good spacing between tent sites, and they were spacious. It’s set up in a loop with all the amenities right in the middle so no matter where your spot is you’re just a tiny stroll away. Heated pool when it’s in season, and they seem to host a lot of fun events! I missed the ice cream social sadly. They also have air hockey and a ping pong table in the office building. This was my favourite KOA so far!

      Note: Bring bug spray! I got bit a fair amount by mosquitoes.
