      Aspen Grove RV Park

      So clean

      Whow…new new new facilities with all the big rigs pull thru power water sewer games dog park ice cream souvenir shops easy on and off the freeway. Close to restaurants. But a sterile walking environment. Concrete pads and all… can’t go wrong here.

      Aspen Grove RV Park

      Clean RV Park

      This was a great spot for a night stopover. Pro is very clean, pass are huge and level. Nice little dog park run as well.

      Several kiddos running around on their scooters having a great time and their clubhouse just opened. Highly recommend.

      Bear Lake/Marina Side KOA Holiday

      Busy, not private but clean

      I had never been to a KOA campground before but we were driving cross country and were tired. For $43 for a tent site we got a nice patch of grass and a fire pit. It’s clean and comfortable, but definitely a busy place. You are right next to your neighbor but they do try and put you in every-other site for space. Great bathroom facilities, dog park, amenities.

      It really depends on what you like. We are tent campers that like forest service campgrounds so this is too busy for us. But a nice spot.

      Aspen Grove RV Park

      Great Place!

      New RV park & sparkling clean. Large clubhouse with all amenities & beautifully decorated! Dog park and nice laundry/shower facilities. Efficient and friendly check- in procedures. Pricey but worth it. Gift shop & mini- market on premises. No tents allowed.

      Green Canyon Dispersed Campground

      Nice hiking trails and very close to town

      Perhaps a little too close to the university in Logan Utah it was busy that Friday night. I think all the spots filled by 7pm some 50 people there that night. There is close spots for small couples and large groups and also more private spacious spots for people with pets like me

      Willard Peak Campground

      Absolutley Fine.

      A well kept, relatively pleasant place to stay. Great staff and friendly live in residents. No pool, no playground and I like it that way. Adequately spaced sites with nice grass beside or in front/back of some sites. Our end site (gravel) was level with grass. , exceptionally clean bathrooms and showers. Laundry and vending. T-Mobil reception was excellent. Location was good for shopping and exploring the area. Bonus, Two off leash dog parks within ten miles for our spoiled pup. Usable free wifi for internet access but not TV streaming.

      All in all a nice place to spend a few days and explore the picturesque area. Fantastic sunsets are a plus. View of Willard peak from our campsite is awesome. Definitely would return.

      Phillips RV Park

      Fine for Overnight

      Park sites are gravel & track dirt into rv. Forget the pet area, it is apparent that picking up after your pet is not enforced. Septic hookup is at the back of the site so hopefully you have a long hose. I didn't!


    Guide to Laketown

    Dispersed camping options near Laketown provide primitive camping experiences on public lands at 5,900 feet elevation. The area features limestone formations and sagebrush slopes that transition to aspens and pines at higher elevations. Winter snowfall often keeps forest roads closed until late May, while summer temperatures can reach 85°F with afternoon thunderstorms common.

    What to do

    Hiking with dogs: Franklin Basin Dispersed Camping connects to multiple trail systems where dogs can explore while staying clear of wildlife. One camper noted, "It is the perfect location for anyone looking for places to hike or ride. There are many different places to visit throughout the area such as the 'Plane Crash' site, Beaver Creek, old logging trails, and more."

    Beach swimming: Rendezvous Beach — Bear Lake State Park offers shallow entry points ideal for dogs and families. "The sand is nice, and one can wade out quite far in the water to lounge all day," according to a visitor who appreciated the gradual depth increase.

    Mountain biking: Trails near Bear Lake/Trail Side KOA Journey connect to mountain routes with varying difficulty levels. A camper mentioned it's "perfect for kids. They loved all the activities available to them. Right close to the shops and ice cream shakes."

    What campers like

    Spacious campsites: Sunrise Campground provides roomy sites with plenty of shade trees. "This campground is beautiful and the sites are huge! The bathrooms were pretty clean. Cell service was decent," reported one visitor who appreciated the ample space between sites.

    Lake views: Some campgrounds offer scenic overlooks rather than direct lake access. "Behind the bathrooms on the South side there is a little trail with a beautiful view of the lake. If you go exploring behind the East bathrooms you'll see a little creek," shared a Sunrise Campground regular.

    Quiet alternatives: Camping options outside the main tourist areas provide more solitude. A camper at Bear Lake/Trail Side KOA Journey noted, "Smaller in size and way less amenities than the other KOA but way more quiet. If you're looking to have a more peaceful stay, this is your place."

    What you should know

    Weather changes: Bear Lake can experience sudden wind shifts that impact camping comfort. At Birch Campground — Bear Lake State Park, a visitor warned, "It gets really windy from one moment to the next."

    Campsite claiming issues: Popular areas fill quickly, especially during summer weekends. A camper at Sunrise Campground reported, "When my family showed up Friday August 23rd there was no Camp Host. We arrived at 11pm to claim site 6 which I had reserved 5 weeks prior and there was a large family with all their crap all over our site."

    Pet restrictions: Not all areas allow dogs full access. At Birch Campground, a visitor noted, "We were surprised that dogs are not allowed on the park beaches... We sure were not expecting it to be dog restrictive. Dogs are not allowed by the lake/beach or in day use areas."
