    Bear Lake State Park Campground

    Beautiful Paradise 😍

    There are no showers. But they vault toilets. The water is perfect and so blue. Really earns the title of the Caribbean of the Rockies. Had my own trail straight to the water facing the sunset. 🥰 It was heaven.

    Hyrum State Park Campground

    Small peaceful state park

    We love state parks and decided to try Hyrum Stare Park for a couple of nights as we were heading south. 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. The campground is small… about 8 or 9 sites with w/e and about a dozen sites with dry camping. All the sites are paved (even the dry camping sites) and level. Grassy and shady on most sites. Two bathhouses and a dump on site. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. They also have a couple of cabins available. No store but there is a few things close by to get ice and a few things. It is totally fenced and gated. The gates close at 10pm and open at 6am. Very peaceful and enjoyable!

    Heart Mountain Spring

    Dirt pull out

    Not sure where precious reviewer went but the GPS coordinates are for a dirt pull out beside a narrow spring. A mile further uphill on dirt road is a small camping area. Free for 21 days. No facilities but a few fire pits. It was full with trailers that have been there a while by the look of it. No spring. I drove another few miles up the mountain and found the entrance to the massive ranch that owns most of the surrounding land. Beyond that was yet more dirt road with no sign of a antelope park or spring. I gave up and was thankful I didn't arrive late in the day.

    North Fork County Park

    Hidden Gem

    Had a great stay at North Fork. Camped in the canyon near the trailheaad for the waterfall hike. We stayed at campsite 6 which was great, but they were all really nice. Excellent mountain bike trails also. Can't wait to go back and ride more of them.

    Belmont Hot Springs RV Park

    Hot Sprigs Glour

    Love this place.  Love hot springs, love all the open space.  Nothing but love for this park.    We went in the winter and we were able to jump into the hot springs and my family loved.  we would be going every winter as it isn't too far from salt lake city

    Monte Cristo

    Hit/Miss sites

    Site 15 doesn't have good shade and only has a spot for 1 tent. But it had good privacy. Loops A, B, C (1-18) have better privacy than the other loops. Verizion gets 0-1 bars depending on where you're at. Host is nice. Water was turned on when we were there (although we brought water becuase reviews in the past said it wasn't). They sprayed for mosquitoes, so no bites. But there were plenty of bumblebees, yellow jackets, flies, and gnats due to the meadows. I'd go again, but probably target sites 4-6.
