    Granite Flat (utah)

    Quiet, shaded area

    Quite area, lot of room. I stayed on site 58 (tent only). Enough room for 2 medium tents. Next/above stream. Tucked in very back. Long ways to walk from car. Water spout next to car area. Will be sharing parking with 2 other sites. 2 lakes nearby. Fire pit with grill gate. Shaded area. Full sun from 10am-4pm.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    A good example of how government campsites should be done

    Overall, 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.

    Great for short trip

    My family of five enjoyed this campground. We got a site with access to the river which my kids really enjoyed. There was a fun giant "sliding rock" in the area to climb on. Lots of trees for hammocks. Downside is it's right next to a busy highway and picnic areas. Although the campsite has quiet hours, the picnic area across the street stayed loud well past quiet hours. The road noise was a lot more than I expected.. especially at night. Definitely bring ear plugs or plan to stay only a nite or two. We planned on staying three nights, but were so exhausted by lack of sleep we left a day early.

    Brigham City-Perry South KOA

    Packed like sardines but great management

    We 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.

    Hyrum State Park Campground

    Great Free campsites

    I'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.

    Camp by the creek

    I got a site right by the creek. Set up my hammock and listen to the running water.

    Only negative is the site is off the main canyon road and there is some traffic noise during the day.

    Spruces - Big Cottonwood

    Great camping spot close to SLC

    Right 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.

    South Fork (UT)

    Great place but book ahead!

    We 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!


Guide to Kaysville

Located 20 miles north of Salt Lake City, Kaysville offers glamping options nestled between the Great Salt Lake and Wasatch Mountains at elevations ranging from 4,300 to 7,000 feet. The area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures reaching 95°F and cold winters with significant snowfall, making climate-controlled glamping structures practical year-round. Campsites near Kaysville provide diverse terrain from lakeside beaches to forested mountain settings.

What to do

Fishing and water activities: Head to Anderson Cove where the fishing is productive and accessible. "We enjoyed that we could bring the jet skis right over to the beach at the campground and also that they have a dog beach," notes one visitor who appreciated the pet-friendly shoreline access. The large sand beaches at Anderson Cove are ideal for swimming during summer months when temperatures exceed 90°F.

Mountain biking: North Fork County Park features extensive trail networks suitable for all skill levels. A recent visitor mentioned, "Had a great stay at North Fork. Camped in the canyon near the trailhead for the waterfall hike. Excellent mountain bike trails also. Can't wait to go back and ride more of them." Many trails connect directly to camping areas, eliminating the need to drive to trailheads.

Wildlife viewing: Antelope Island State Park's White Rock Bay Campground offers opportunities to observe bison, fox, and various bird species. "We saw fox that came right up to our tent and lots of bison close by," reports one camper who stayed at the location. Wildlife viewing is best during early morning or evening hours when animals are most active.

What campers like

Waterfront proximity: South Fork campground earns praise for its river access. "We 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," advises one visitor. Site A1 is particularly noted as secluded with ample tree cover.

Family facilities: Echo Island RV Resort provides numerous family-friendly amenities. "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," shares a satisfied camper. The resort also features glamping options along the waterfront with boat-in access.

Shade coverage: During hot summer months, tree coverage becomes crucial. A visitor to North Fork County Park explained, "This place is favorite spot to camp if I'm staying local. There are so many spots, and they are all very private. There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park." North Fork sites retain cooler temperatures even during July and August heat.

What you should know

Bug activity: Insect populations vary significantly by location and season. At White Rock Bay on Antelope Island, visitors warn: "The landscape is beautiful but I cannot stress to you enough the amount of biting gnats there were. It was unbearable for us and bug spray didn't deter them one bit." May and early June typically have the highest concentration of biting insects.

Reservation requirements: Most popular glamping sites near Kaysville require advance booking. "You need to reserve sites here well in advance as it fills up for the entire Summer as soon as the reservation window opens," explains a visitor to Anderson Cove. For weekend dates in summer, booking 3-6 months ahead is recommended.

Wind conditions: Some exposed campsites experience significant wind. "The campground is very spread out and provides lots of space between you & other campers, so that's a plus. The views of the island mountains and the Great Salt Lake were another plus. We visited in early May when the No See Ums were at their peak, so forget enjoying a campfire at dusk, or anything at dusk. Also, the campsites provide 0 protection from the wind. We were in a tent and the wind shook our tent back and forth all night," reports a camper at White Rock Bay.

Tips for camping with families

Waterfall hikes: Multiple campgrounds offer kid-friendly waterfall access. At Spruces Campground, "You can get to donut falls from the camp ground which is awesome. Sites are mostly private. Some more so than others," notes a visitor. Most waterfall trails are under 2 miles round-trip with minimal elevation gain, making them suitable for young hikers.

Splash pads: For cooling off without lake or river access, some sites offer dedicated water play areas. A visitor to Hill AFB FamCamp mentioned, "The campground is right next to the base splash pad and a big park. Cheap $25 a night full hook ups was definitely worth the stay." These facilities typically operate from late May through early September.

Fishing ponds: Several glamping facilities around Kaysville feature stocked fishing ponds requiring no license for youth anglers under 12. "A very clean and very convenient campground. Tons of trails nearby and being on the reservoir is great for hot days. Fishing was a blast! Will definitely be back," reports a camper at Anderson Cove.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing: Campgrounds vary significantly in how close sites are positioned. At Hill AFB FamCamp, "The sites are tightly packed. The hook ups (especially sewer) are awkwardly to the far rear of the sites. All black top and gravel, which really gets warm on the hot July days. There is a fenced in dog relief area," notes one RVer. Request outer loop sites when possible for maximum space.

Hookup positioning: Several campgrounds have unusual utility placement. "The sites have no shade. Sites are level with full hook up. Site 1 is the best site for any shade," advises a camper at Hill AFB. Many sites require extension hoses and cords to reach hookups positioned at the far rear of sites.

Pull-through availability: For larger rigs, certain campgrounds offer easier access. "Nice famcamp. Pull in sites are best with nice sized yards and easy in/out. Some of the backins are tricky for large rigs that need a large turning zone to back in because of trees in the center area," shares an RVer about Hill AFB FamCamp. Most pull-through sites accommodate vehicles up to 40 feet in length.
