Anderson Cove campground houses luxury glamping accommodations along the scenic Pineview Reservoir, offering an elevated outdoor experience just 40 minutes from Salt Lake City. The waterfront glamping sites feature comfortable accommodations with quality beds, climate control options, and private outdoor spaces where guests can enjoy the lakeside setting. Several sites include fire rings set on concrete pads that remain usable even during regional fire bans, making evening relaxation possible year-round. Echo Island RV Resort provides additional glamping options with fully-equipped canvas structures that include modern amenities like electric hookups, water access, and resort-style facilities. "A very clean and very convenient campground. Tons of trails nearby and being on the reservoir is great for hot days," shared one visitor about the Anderson Cove experience.
The pristine beaches at Pineview Reservoir create an ideal setting for glamping guests seeking both relaxation and recreation. Water activities dominate the summer season with swimming, fishing, and paddleboarding directly accessible from many glamping sites. A marina located within Anderson Cove provides boat rentals and water equipment for day use. Hiking trails extend from the glamping areas into the surrounding Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, offering opportunities for wildlife viewing and scenic vistas. According to a camper, "The lake is beautiful, and the campground is clean. Lake has a great 'day use' beach for the family as well." Most glamping accommodations require reservations well in advance, particularly for summer stays when the sites fill quickly after reservation windows open, typically for the May through September season.
"Tucked away from SLC, it's a perfect little oasis."

Please check out my other reviews. More to come. Happy camping.
TravelerWe camped for three days here. The restroom was very clean (for a campground), although the stall door needed some repair. The paper towels were well-stocked, and the trash emptied daily. The fire pits are pretty solid and include a built-in grill. The area was free of litter. There was a golden eagle nest above us where eagles were flying to and from; this was quite the sight to see! If you want to camp at Bear Lake, this is a good spot. Electricity and water hookups are included at each campsite for those of you with RVs.
TravelerOverall, 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.

GuideWe stopped off here for one night on our way to Bryce Canyon. We arrived late, but someone had stayed around to welcome us and give us a goody bag with nutter butters, coozies, and fresh plums, which was really nice!
They pack them in tight here! Each pitch is no wider than 15’, which actually makes it pretty challenging to back in. There isn’t really any outside space, unless you want to squeeze some chairs next to your neighbor’s sewer hookup.
That being said, the facilities are great and the folks running the place are really friendly and helpful. Showers are free, hot, and clean. There’s a well-stocked store, laundry room, propane fill-up, etc.
GuideI've camped here several times since I was a child. It's nice that there is a river that runs nearby. There are about 50 campsites on a first come first served basis. The road gets narrower as you drive up the canyon and the campsites are spread out along the way over about 5+ miles. I wouldn't recommend going too far in with a big trailer. Fires are allowed only part of the year. The forest service puts flags in the fire pits when it gets too dry. There are hiking trails (such as leathams hollow) and a few rock climbing routes as well. Lots of people go four wheeling and motorcycling as well.
GuideThis is a small state park campground located in a neighborhood. This lake was so popular while we were there over Father's Day weekend. As busy as it was, everyone followed the quiet hours and it was so peaceful at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return. We were in electric and water hookup site number 3 in the middle row. The sites along the water have great views, but little shade and do not have any hookups. The sites are close together ,but angled nicely so you still have privacy. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely with a mixture of farms and new construction. Felt completely safe biking and running through the surrounding area. The park is close to the town of Logan, Utah. We loaded up our bikes and took advantage of their extensive trail system only 15 minutes from the park. The town of Logan has everything you need to restock on supplies including Costco.
TravelerRight up Big Cottonwood Canyon, this campground has the advantage of being up the canyon so you feel far away from the city, but close enough that you could go on a work night and still make it to the office the next day. Fire pits and restrooms are near campsites, but note that the gate closes late at night so expect to walk from the road if you show up too late. More of a loud, lively site than a quiet spot in the wilderness. A fun place for camping and making s'mores with friends.
TravelerWe camped here in July, I definitely recommend going beforehand to scope out which site you would like best and reserve it online because this place gets all booked up! Close to the river and nice roomy site with a table and fire pit. Bathroom within walking distance!
GuideTwo loops that we saw, the first has no hook ups and the second has power and water at each site. There’s a little paved slab with a picnic table and covering, each site has a fire pit and charcoal grill. $30 for no hook ups $40 for hookups, got in around 8pm and no $30 sites left. There are toilets and showers for each loop. Really close to the highway so be prepared for that noise, and there’s a train that goes by every so often.
Anderson Cove campground sits on the eastern shore of Pineview Reservoir at an elevation of approximately 4,900 feet. The campground operates seasonally from mid-May through September with sites filling quickly after reservation windows open. During summer months, temperatures typically range from 75-90°F during daytime hours, cooling to 50-65°F overnight, making it comfortable for campers seeking relief from Salt Lake City's more intense heat.
Hiking nearby trails: North Fork County Park offers extensive trail access just a short drive from Anderson Cove. "There's a short waterfall hike, but also a long hike that will take you up to Ben Lomond Peak & cut across to Willard Peak. Go when there's no smoke and you'll have breathtaking views (I'd say May & June are your best bet)," notes Morgan L. from North Fork County Park.
Fishing opportunities: The Pineview Reservoir and surrounding waterways offer excellent fishing conditions. At nearby South Fork, campers have easy access to the Ogden River. "Right by most of the campsites you can fly fish or set off on a tubing adventure down the Ogden River! It is required that you have a life jacket before setting off," advises Alan B.
Paddleboarding and swimming: The reservoir provides calm waters perfect for paddleboarding. "We rode bikes and paddle boarded. Gets extremely busy on weekends but nice and quiet on the weekdays," reports Kristen W. about her experience at Anderson Cove. The numerous beach areas provide safe swimming zones with gradually sloping sandy bottoms.
Easy reservoir access: The proximity to water remains a major draw. "This was a really nice place for only being 40 mins from the city. Good beach front not a far walk from our campsite. Lots of trees to hang your hammocks up on," shares Blake T. about his stay at Anderson Cove.
Spacious sites: Campers appreciate the room to spread out at many area campgrounds. At North Fork County Park, "each of the sites seem to have plenty of space for any time of camping you do, and are well tended in between seasons and visitors. And even with the ample size of each site, you don't feel like you're in your neighbor's lap," says Dave D.
Family-friendly amenities: The area caters well to families with children. "We've camped all over in North Fork sites! Our family has our anual family reunion in Mustang Flats every summer, CW8 & CW9 are great for 5 families because they're connected by a little road," explains Fale L. about the group camping options at North Fork County Park.
Reservations essential: Most sites throughout the area require advance planning. "You need to reserve sites here well in advance as it fills up for the entire Summer as soon as the reservation window opens," advises Barb D. about site availability at Anderson Cove.
Seasonal fire restrictions: Fire bans are common during dry periods, but some campgrounds have specially designed fire rings that remain usable. At South Fork, "there were fire bans in Utah but because of the type of fire set up on concrete and built in fire places, we were able to have a fire all night which was awesome," reports Tommy C.
Varying site quality: Not all sites offer equal amenities or privacy. "There are camp-sights on blacktop and on dirt. There is a boat ramp, store, dump station…It's not bad," notes Lisa W. about Anderson Cove, while another camper commented, "It's $38 a night. That gets you a spot on a paved pad, no hook ups. There are shade trees but they don't offer privacy."
Water recreation preparation: Bring appropriate water safety gear, especially for younger children. "We brought kayaks and float the river. The campground is right along the rivers edge which is nice and cool in the summer," recommends Alicia G. from South Fork.
Consider yurt camping: Yurt camping near Huntsville, Utah provides an excellent alternative for families who want comfort without hauling extensive gear. "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," shares Alyssa D. about the yurt options at Dixie Creek Campground.
Weekday visits preferred: For a less crowded experience, especially with children, aim for weekday stays. "Gets extremely busy on weekends but nice and quiet on the weekdays. Checked in on a Wednesday afternoon for FCFS site. Plenty open," advises Kristen W. about Anderson Cove.
Full hookup options: Several campgrounds near Huntsville offer complete RV services. At Echo Island RV Resort, "nicely managed campground, good website, efficient reservation process. Management very helpful and friendly. The campsites are nicely spaced, good tree cover, green well kept lawn at all sites. Gravel slots, picnic tables and fire pits at each site," reports Alice P.
Leveling considerations: Be prepared for some uneven sites in the region. At Dixie Creek Campground, "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," advises James J.
Sewer connection length: Bring extra sewer hose for some campgrounds. One visitor notes, "Hookups were in good shape, note the sewer is toward the back, not the middle so bring lots of sewer hose," about their experience at Willard Bay State Park.
