The Cache Valley region surrounding Hyde Park, Utah features diverse camping options within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest and nearby state parks. Green Canyon Dispersed Campground, located just minutes from town, provides free primitive camping with basic amenities like fire rings and vault toilets. More developed options include Hyrum State Park Campground, offering year-round access with full hookups for RVs, tent sites, and cabins approximately 10 miles south. The area's camping landscape ranges from forested mountain sites to reservoir-adjacent facilities, with most campgrounds managed by either the U.S. Forest Service or Utah State Parks.
Seasonal considerations significantly impact camping availability, with many forest service campgrounds operating only from May through September or October. Tony Grove Lake campground, at higher elevation, has an even shorter season from July to September. Road conditions vary considerably, with some dispersed areas requiring high-clearance vehicles. As one camper noted, "Green Canyon was recommended by a friend. Plenty of great dispersed sites for car camping along a gravel road. Fire rings and clean bathrooms are available." Summer temperatures typically range from 50-90°F, while spring brings potential for muddy conditions. Cell service is generally reliable near Hyde Park but becomes spotty in canyon areas and at higher elevations.
Proximity to Logan and Utah State University affects campground popularity, particularly on weekends. According to a recent visitor, "Green Canyon was busy that Friday night. All spots filled by 7pm with some 50 people there." Campgrounds with water access receive consistently high ratings, with Hyrum State Park offering beach access and boat ramps. Road noise can be an issue at some locations, particularly those near highways. Most established campgrounds provide picnic tables and fire rings, with varying levels of additional amenities. Wildlife viewing opportunities include deer and various bird species. Campers frequently mention the mountain views as a highlight, with several noting the stunning backdrop of the Wasatch Range visible from many camping areas in the region.

from $40 - $400 / night

"I first visited this area in the spring, and have since been there around 4-5 times. It’s very beautiful with lots of greenery and a river through the whole canyon."
ScoutThis had amazing views, including a cool cave. However, the road is very bumpy and the spots are smaller. It would not be good for a larger RV. The spots fill up very quickly.
GuideFirst the campsite was very nice, bathrooms very clean, the campsite was well cared for which is why were shocked someone didn't correct the signs .....We were at WIllow Creek site 161, we arrived late in the evening ( at dusk) the signs only indicated camp sites up to 159 so we stopped at the camp host and knocked on the door, no one came to the door, so we drove around trying to find our camp site. We finally found our site ( 161) which was not listed on any sign, frustration we didn't need. For that reason I will never camp there again. How difficult is it to change a sign? Don't rely on Google Maps to get you here, follow the directions on your reservation confirmation.....
ScoutWe spent 9 days on Alexandria’s property and it was nowhere near what we were expecting. In a great way! We got to spend that time loving on goats and met an amazing group of people otherwise we never would have! They were extremely kind and it was really quiet and peaceful. We made new friends and got to enjoy the peace. I hope someone else finds as much enjoyment as we did
LegendNice KOA. Clean, friendly staff, convenient location, but construction across the street. Looks like a new neighborhood may be going in. This would drop the rating to a 3 but it is not their fault. Pool available on request. Our site seemed wider than some. For passing through it is great. Not sure I’d stay here for days unless needing to be in Brigham City. Peek view of the Great Salt Lake.
TravelerNice place
RangerVery easy access off 89. Very large sites with fire rings start about 1/4 off the main road. Only one other site being used that I saw. Pit toilet available at the large parking area. Clean and well kept. No cell service. Free range cows.
ScoutThis is a nice camp ground where you can walk right to the beach. We went with our in laws and were lucky to get spots closest to the beach as well. The only thing that was a bummer was that there were so many stickers and weeds within our site that it was poky to walk with sandals on around our actual site but other than that it has been a great camp ground and a great beach. Our dog and daughter both had a blast. This is our second year going the same weekend and will be doing it again! We’ve tried another campground in Bear lake and we prefer this one over the other.
ScoutBlue water, close beach, dog friendly, clean grounds, quiet hours, gorgeous scenery.
TravelerAmazing place to camp right next to the river.
The entrance you go across the bridge. It looks low, but a 13.5 RV can make it under no problem. As you enter, it gets lower and all of a sudden you realize that you can make it under the trees over the bridge.

Paddle on Hyrum Reservoir: Day visitors and campers at Hyrum State Park Campground can enjoy water activities on the reservoir. "This state park is basically in the middle of a neighborhood of a small community. Locals seem to love it but it's not crowded at all... It's right on a small lake with a boat ramp and a small beach," notes camper Brenda L.
Hike Tony Grove trails: The trail system at Tony Grove Lake offers varied difficulty levels from beginner to advanced. "When looking at the lake from the parking lot, take the left path and head to the south part of the lake where all the pine trees are and secure a picnic table and a few trees to hang a hammock to soak in the view of the lake," suggests Dale J.
Mountain biking: The canyon areas provide extensive trail networks for mountain bikers. At Green Canyon, campers report "tons of people camping, hiking, mountain biking, and ATVs, so some traffic on the road, even after dark. Road ends a few miles in with a closed gate," according to Kristen P.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Smithfield Campground in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest provides excellent nature viewing. "It is a favorite spot for us and our family. We often turn left on to the dirt road and pick a spot there. But you stay straight and it takes you in to a very nice campground with tables and toilets," shares Austin K.
Running water sound: Many campers appreciate the natural sound barrier provided by creek access. At Guinavah - Malibu Campground, "My fiance and I really enjoyed our weekend. Our spot was kinda near some other sites, but everybody was really respectful. It was really nice to have the noise from the river in the background," notes Mikhial S.
Spring access: Some camping areas feature natural springs that are particularly appealing for families with children. "The spring was fun for the kids to play in. There was a small dam at the bottom where the kids could swim and kayak," mentions Maybo H. about Spring Hollow Campground.
Winter access limitations: Many forest roads close seasonally, affecting camping availability. "Road to dispersed camping is closed Dec 1 - April 15. Permit fee is $10 for 3 days," reports Joanna about Green Canyon Dispersed Campground.
Cell coverage varies: Connectivity depends heavily on terrain and proximity to Logan. "We camped with friends we had cell service via t-mobile, att&t, and visible with varying strengths. No cost, first come first serve," reports CrookedSnake about Green Canyon.
Road noise consideration: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise due to proximity to highways. At Guinavah-Malibu, "My one gripe is that the campground is fairly close to the main road and you can hear all the traffic. It does quiet down later in the day, but the road noise can be distracting at times."
Kid-friendly water features: Spring Hollow Campground offers gentler water play options for children. "Very green, lush, and beautiful. The river running through the camp is also awesome. The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't have flushing toilets," explains Adam P.
Educational rock formations: Some canyon areas feature interesting geological formations that children enjoy exploring. In Green Canyon, one visitor noted "Cool rock visuals above a majority of the sites. Also tons of trails and mountain bikers. Met some climbers working on a sketch little project on one of the many many boulders."
Short hiking trails: Look for beginner-friendly trails appropriate for younger hikers. At Tony Grove Lake, "There is a variety of hiking trails. One goes all around the lake," mentions Jackie H., making it suitable for families with varying hiking abilities.
Site leveling considerations: Many RV campers note the importance of selecting level sites in this mountainous region. At Wood Camp Campground, "This campground is just off the road going up Logan canyon. It is set right next to the river which helps drown out the noise from the road," shares Preston P., though he notes "some spots are a little close together compared to what I prefer."
Size limitations: Most forest service campgrounds cannot accommodate larger rigs. At Tony Grove, campers specifically note it's "Not for large RVs," while Wood Camp Campground has only 6 sites total with limited spacing.
Year-round RV options: For winter camping, select campgrounds remain accessible. "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," explains Jason S. about Traveland RV Park, one of the few year-round options in the area.
