Best Campgrounds near Howell, UT

There are camp-sights on blacktop and on dirt. There is a boat ramp, store, dump station…It’s not bad.

Needed to get a travel trailer from Tremonton to Burley, a bit more than my Tesla MY could muster during winter. Campground is well maintained, has 50 amp hookups, and is ok with charging an EV. In fact they offer 6 hours of charging for $25 if not needing to spend the night.

Road to dispersed camping is closed Dec 1 - April 15. Permit fee is $10 for 3 days. We had a quiet ( only a couple of other campers further up) and enjoyable overnight visit but road was quite icy. So we did not explore far. Birds in caves in side of valley. Well loved trail starts a short distance up the road. Looks like a beloved student hang out in the area with picnic tables so you may want drive further in if visit in summer.

Campsite 148 We liked staying here because it's close to home and it is also close to gas stations and grocery stores. Our campsite had standing water right behind it so there were many, many mosquitoes! The traffic from the freeway was very loud and in the morning the trains would honk their horns waking everyone up. We will probably not stay again and just do day trips to the lake.

Many good spots. Close to the road so you can hear some car which was no problem. Lots of trees. Shaded which is great in the summer.

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.

(October 4th, 2023) Stopped here for a night on a road trip and it was the perfect place for some down time. There were still open spots when we got here late; we snagged a cool site with a small cave and a climbing route a decent way down the road. In the morning we hiked around some of the trails and explored the area. Even though it rained, it was a beautiful place to see some foliage! We only saw a few other people but it was the middle of the week and weather wasn’t great.

Tons of land, tons of campsites.. but most are "occupied" by empty trailers with no other vehicles or people around. There's empty cars parked on top of fire pits, no tents or any sort of life nearby. Felt strange.

This road is rough and very bumpy. Didn't feel comfortable "taking over" a campsite with things already parked there. Wouldn't recommend coming here.

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.

Ended up driving this road up to Idaho to find a bigger spot and some solitude. Took the dirt road for about 30 minutes and got the most perfect spot. Nobody was near us and the view was amazing. We went at the beginning of June, it was a bit chilly some mornings and at night, so come prepared.

Private RV secured area with Rv laundry and shower facilities. Private fenced in dog parks in RV area separate from gas station. Showers are included in price of stay. Quiet area which is perfect. Back in and pull through available. Good hook up’s

Totally worth the money. Safe and secure.

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.

This review is from July 2024, and it appears to have been a dry year.

I found the campground over run with Red Currant Bushes which were full of mature fruit.  There was also a lot of Crested Wheatgrass and Sagebrush.  The 5 campsites are still in good repair, but due to the Red Currant Bushes, access to the springs area was difficult if not impossible.  The Springs themselves, due to the low water table were all but dried up, with only a small puddle of water marking each one.  The water pump is still missing it's handle, and is now dry, so no water could be pumped.  There was a moose present when I was there, but he was down in the outflow area, and did not seem interested in anything but lying down there.  The Vault toilet was clean, odor free, and well maintained.

I cannot recommend this campground for mid summer or fall.

Love this facility has a resort feel. Has showers, bathrooms and laundry. You’re on leveled asphalt. Great Mountain View. This place is very nice for a Loves.

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.

The site is over an hour from I15 on dirt and washboarded roads. Was a beautiful location for one night, but not much more than that. The Golden Spike park is on the way which is nice to stop by at. Was windy on the night we stayed, no fires.

This review was from a visit in May of 2014, See my other review for July 2024

Twin Springs, a stop on Hudspeth's cutoff on the Oregon Trail was an important stop because it was the only stop that had water for 22 mlles.

  The road leading to Twin Springs is an oiled road until you reach the trail head. 

 There are 5 sites located in Twin Springs, each with it's own table. benches, fire pit and awning. The tables and benches are sturdy painted wood, the fire pit is a cement square with an iron grate on top and open at one side.    Located between sites 1 and 2 is the vault toilet.  Bring your own toilet paper as there is none supplied.  The sites are on the outside of the central loop about 340 feet long with  an old water pump  in the center of the loop. the handle of the pump is gone, but you can pull the central rod up and down and it will pump.  To the north and east, of the south end of the loop the ground slopes down to the 2 springs that the campground is named for.  South west of the campground is Rock Creek, a small stream.  There are lots of birds, and small animals around and a lot of wild flowers.  The camp is isolated and generators should be no problem.  There is no internet of any kind, just a nearby cell tower for cell phones.  The camp is best in Spring and early summer, and brown and dry, and less pleasant in late summer and fall.
