RV parks near Huntsville, Utah offer varied camping options at elevations between 4,500-5,000 feet, providing cooler summer temperatures than Salt Lake City valley locations. The Weber River corridor provides water recreation opportunities at several RV resorts, with many campsites featuring mountain views of the Wasatch Range. Cell service remains consistent throughout most campgrounds, though Wi-Fi quality varies significantly by location.
What to do
Fishing access: At Riverside RV Resort, campers can enjoy riverfront fishing along the Weber River. "There is a walking trail that runs along the Weber river and a dog run on the eastern part of the property," notes one visitor. Another reviewer mentions "You can go fishing or they say you can tube or wade in it. Shallow for the most part."
Mountain biking trails: The area offers excellent trail access directly from some campgrounds. A visitor to Riverside RV Resort shares, "There is a trailhead right down the road that is along the Weber River. Mountain bike or hike, you will have a good time."
Winter recreation: The Huntsville area provides excellent access to winter sports. Park City RV Resort puts you within 15-20 minutes of ski slopes, as one reviewer notes: "Tucked into a nice little spot in the hills 15-20min shy of park city. You can see some of the ski slopes from the park."
What campers like
Creek access: Park City RV Resort offers creek-side camping that many visitors appreciate. "I recommend the lower spots, G and H or tent campsites as they are farther from the road. There's a nice creek down there and still close bathrooms with shower," advises one camper. Another mentions "There is a creek and nice hiking path for the early riser in your group."
Convenient locations: Many parks provide easy highway access while maintaining reasonable noise levels. A Traveland RV Park guest reports: "Great little RV park just off the highway and tucked in behind a hotel. You're far enough off the road you don't notice the highway noise."
On-site activities: Several RV parks offer recreational facilities. One visitor to Echo Island RV Resort shares, "They had a small pond for kids to fish in, two swimming pools and two hot tubs, very clean and modern facilities, well maintained campsites with fire pit, a cute little shop with firewood, treats, and other necessities and they have DVDs and sports equipment you can check out."
What you should know
Noise considerations: Highway and airport noise affects several parks. A Love's RV Stop visitor reports: "New Campground. Love this facility has a resort feel. Has showers, bathrooms and laundry. You're on leveled asphalt. Great Mountain View." However, others note highway noise at several locations.
Reservation timing: During summer months, weekend occupancy reaches capacity at most facilities. "We arrived before the 2pm check in time, but no problem. The staff at check in were very welcoming," notes one Riverside RV visitor, though this may not be the case during peak periods.
Fire restrictions: Fire policies vary significantly between parks. A Golden Spike RV Park camper notes: "They don't allow any sort of fire (no charcoal or wood)," while Echo Island RV Resort provides fire pits and sells firewood on-site.
Overcrowding concerns: Some parks have tight site spacing issues. A Park City RV Resort visitor warned: "Spots are long but very narrow. Less than 3' between our slides and the neighbor's slides. The neighbor's sewer hook up is right at our front door."
Tips for camping with families
Pool access scheduling: Plan pool time carefully as availability varies seasonally. At Lagoon RV Park & Campground, one visitor reported: "We only stayed here one night passing through town but found it to be exactly what we needed... The park was closed on Monday but we could still see some of the animals through the gate!"
Wildlife viewing: Several parks offer wildlife sighting opportunities. At Lagoon RV Park, a camper shares: "There is a small stream in back and we were greeted by 2 peacocks in the morning. At night we were also visited by raccoons so make sure you have everything put away before you head to bed."
Playground availability: Many parks offer play areas, but quality varies. According to an Echo Island RV Resort visitor: "This is such a pretty and accommodating place to stay. They had a small pond for kids to fish in, two swimming pools and two hot tubs, very clean and modern facilities, well maintained campsites with fire pit."
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Concrete pads provide better leveling at several parks. An Aspen Grove RV Park visitor suggests: "Huge full hookup sites with concrete pads. Nice and quiet despite being near the intersection of I-15 and I-84. Would definitely return!"
Heat management: Summer temperatures can reach above 90°F in the valleys. A visitor to Aspen Grove notes: "Clean and modern. That is the problem. This is a $75 parking lot. Pavement, cement and no shade. No fire pits. I prefer shade (94°) and more of a camping feel."
Vehicle size considerations: Several parks accommodate large rigs but access roads may be narrow. "Very nice RV resort near Interstate. Pull throughs or back in on paved level sites," reports one visitor, while another cautions: "Narrow interior roads" can make maneuvering challenging.
