    Green Canyon yurt is a 24-foot diameter yurt that sleeps up to twelve people. It is located at the end of the Green Canyon groomed ski trail (i.e., the end of the summer road), so it offers a good introductory yurt experience for new skiers or snowshoers. For the adventurous, it is a great base camp for ascents of Bierdneau Peak and beyond. It includes sleeping pads, a wood stove for heat and melting snow for drinking water, a propane stove for cooking, LED lanterns, and a full array of kitchen utensils, dishes, and cookware for 12. The Green Canyon yurt is served by a permanent vault toilet.

    The campsites are located in a wooded area so lots of shade. Site 1,2 and 4 are creek side along maple creek and site 3 has a small stream and a pond. All sites have a fire pit available. All sites are carry in carry out. Easily accessible with a four wheel drive. You will need to cross maple creek to reach site 1. Site 1 also has outdoor carpet and patio furniture the site. The road down to the river bottoms is a bit steep so 4 wheel drive is recommended. This area is ideal for tent camping. Some sites have tables.

    This area was used by the local Indian tribes during the summer. We have found many flint arrowheads and a bread stone on the property. There is a cave on little mountain to the west that they wintered in and it is a short hike to go see it.

    There is a 6 mile round trip hike to the head of maple creek. Trail head at the top of maple creek road. If you have atv’s there are trails for that also.

    Passing Through, glad I stopped.

    Stayed overnight while passing through. Super clean park, bathrooms were very clean and well lit. I got a tent site with electric hook up, spot is long so you have plenty of space along with a small grill. No fire ring rings at the spots due to closeness but there is a community place for fires with firewood. Was able to check in at any time and it was super easy. Saw a double rainbow when I woke up haha perfect.

    Pricy and awkward

    We we staying in a tent site. All of the potable water was still shut off. When we were booking the site all of them were taken but when we arrived there were only 3 campers. Lots of bugs. We changed our site to a full hookup site in the south marina which is even more awkward. It is a parking lot with hook ups. No privacy. We stayed one night and then opted to stay at a near by KOA and just ate the cost of the state campground. Would not stay here again.

    Lots of shade next to the creek

    There is a large group site that has 2 large tables and a fire pit and most of the other 1 and 2 tent sites have cemented fire rings. Right next to the creek and plenty of Shade make it a perfect place for hammocks. For most of the year this campground is sparsely populated so it's a nice place for solitude. There is also a large ~200' cirque at the end of a 3 mile hike that continues onto the high point of the range and of Box Elder County! Nearby are numerous archaeological sites and the Joshua Tree-esque devils playground

    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.

    Quiet, convenient camping

    I arrived at around 6:30 PM with no reservation and had no issues. The guy at the front gate was a peach, super kind and helpful. It’s $25 a night for a tent site. He set me up in site 106 which is about 50 feet away from the (very clean) bathrooms/showers and 100 feet from the lake. The crickets SCREAM at night and there’s some noise from the interstate. There’s also a gas station right outside the park entrance. Plenty of other people camping here but everyone is quiet and respectful. I have 4 bars of 5G with ATT. They also spray for mosquitoes so bugs aren’t really an issue.

    Great place to stay in the winter

    Cold winter months and you need to get away? Wow we rented a cabin three times this last winter. Great little cabins with bathrooms the hot pools were 100 feet away and a heated swimming pool. In the summer time the pool is nice and cold and there are water slides. There is RV and tent sites as well as group sites and 3 small cabins, 3 medium cabins and three large cabins/houses. They also have several yurts. This year they also have covered wagons you can stay in(cute idea on a tent cabin). The staff is friendly and courteous. There is a small cafe and store. There is a restaurant that has a great sirloin dinner if you call ahead to make dinner reservations. Over all a great place to camp summer or winter.

    Springtime review

    It occured to me that since I visited this property a second time that I should get perspective on my earlier spring visit. We had a wet spring so it was a bit muddy in places, gravel on these roads would go a long way in keeping the mud down and the hole smaller. Next the grass had not been cut down and was very high, walking around in the morning ment wet shoes plus it made it more difficult to set up and tear down. I only mention these inconveniences because of the high price to stay at the resort. Firewood has to be bought there, but it is a fair price and is delivered directly to your site. If you are tent camping in the far sites the bathroom is a bit of a walk but not terrible, and in my other review they are kept very clean. Even with the minor annoyances, this is a great place to get away and relax and enjoy. And BTW...it's bring your own alcohol, so if you indulge be forewarned. Enjoy!

    Great campground next to the Logan River.

    Me and my kids stay for only one night, but I was very impressed how clean the campground was.  It has one bathroom area, and was right next to the Logan River.  I only marked it down for small camping areas for tenting sites right next to River but would’ve been just fine for Campers.  They had plenty of room for vehicles in each spot. Great start gazing as well at night not allot of bugs either.

    Great Options next to the Reservoir

    This is a huge campground that sits on the south side of Pineview Reservoir that has a multitude of options for camping and day trips as well as a marina.  The first Forest Service Campground you'll encounter heading up Ogden Canyon and the only major campground on the south side of Pineview.  There are 58 single sites for 28$ as well as additional tent sites that are cheaper for 21$.  There are also 9 double sites and 4 group sites along with parking for boat trailers and day use for picnic and beach access.  Every site has a metal fire ring and a varying amount of picnic tables.  There is a small convenience store kin the reservation hut as well as vault toilets and drinking water spigots spread throughout the campground.

    For fun things to do in the area look no further than Pineview Reservoir just to the north!  From chilling on the beach to fishing from shore or swimming.  There are many options for easy, cheap recreation direct from camp.  There is also a boat launch ramp right in the campground that makes it easy to spend the day motor boating around the reservoir.  Just down canyon there is also a decent amount of decent climbing on some good to high quality quartzite rock.

    Scott and Stevie are the best. Always helpful. Lots of shady sites. Easy access. 5 minutes to the lake and 10 minutes to Walmart in Brigham for whatever you need. First visit I came with a tent this time with the RV. Both were great visits. I’ll be back.

    Surrounded by tall trees next to the creek

    Shade everywhere here! The creek also runs nearby which makes it nice and cool. There's vault toilets plenty of spigots, and tent pads at most spots. There's some hiking nearby but scrambling around on the nearby limestone cliffs was more enjoyable!

    Excellent overnight stop

    This site was perfect for a quick overnight stop. Excellent for tents, no hookups but great space for small to medium RVs. Half price for national park cardholders, ie Senior pass making this a great bargain. Lots of trees for shade. Loop A was easier to access as Loop B road was washed out a bit and had lots of ruts.

    Great spot

    Have camped here for years. The road in the campground is tight on some corners for longer rigs. A lot of spots are difficult to back into with a trailer. Small trailers and tents will work best up here. There are vaults and some flushers during the peak season. Lake gets very busy on weekends but is fun.

    Great area and very clean. The noise from the road isn't very noticeable as you sit along a beautiful creek. It's super relaxing and very afforable! 

    Vault toilets, no water but lots of shade. Each site has a picnic table, tent, and fire pits. Dumpster available when leaving the campground. I would consider this campground more on the primitive side of things.

    Great place for family adventures

    There used to be a lot more trees here but due to a beetle infestation a lot of them have died and been cut down. However it's still a beautiful area and fishing in the lake is great! The lake is big enough for kayaks as well. Plenty of camp spaces for RVs or just tents. Great surrounding area for four wheelers and other ATVs.

    Decent campsite along river. Near Bear Lake

    We stayed here for a night after learning Tony Grove Campsite was inaccessible due to fires. Long dirt road with tons of sites for RVs of tents. Our campsite was just alongside the Logan River. It had some bugs but we enjoyed its views, and even had some of the pasturing cows give us a "hello" in the morning.

    Wasted time looking here

    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.

    Better than a rest stop or wal mart

    Seven miles off the freeway. Not many sites like five or six. Grassy and flat with a picnic shade. Just needed a place to sleep on our way to Utah. Be aware...bathrooms are locked and water is turned off after 10/1. We did find a open bathroom over by the boat launch.

    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.

    Not a bad spot

    They assign spots when u arrive without u looking at the spots. Then if u don’t like the spot they give u a lot of trouble to change it. We had to speak to a ranger, who also gave us the run around about the spot— but eventually agreed to swap the spot. It was pretty but at around 2 am a group of raccoons scared the crap out of us when they started fighting outside our tent. Dealing with that whole ordeal and the drama from the spot change made us not want to stay longer than one night.

    Fun spot to get away and fish

    This a an awesome camp spot that is right off of I-15 but feels like you are out in the wilderness. In the summer there are lots of bugs so bring bug spray. Pet friendly with a nice beach for the kids. lots of trees so you don't really hear I-15 noise. Full hook ups for trailers and nice tent spots. Bathrooms with running water and fish cleaning stations are really nice. Lots of picnic tables and pavilions to get some shade. Make sure you bring your boat and fishing gear. The whipper fishing can be fun.

    Cute and convenient!

    Stopped over on a car-camping trip from Oregon to Texas, site was conveniently close to Brigham for a fuel stop and quick grocery store trip. Upon arrival, campground was busier than expected for a rainy Sunday summer night, but I was able to find a first come first served single spot to park my car. Spots are nestled into fairly dense trees and brush, providing some privacy for tents but little for most of the parked cars. Bathroom was clean, had flush toilets and running water! Single sites are $27 after tax, but you receive 1/2 off if you have a National Parks Pass since the campground is part of the National Forest. Would definitely camp here again!
