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.
TravelerPretty far but worth a visit. We got here midnight and IT WAS WINDY!! Was afraid our car gonna tip over (yes, it’s that bad)
To our surprise it snowed in the morning and we had such a long walk around the site, very inspiring, very introspective. Would recommend!!!
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.
GuideJust off of I-15 in Plymouth is a hidden gem. For $60 you get full 50amp hookups, a huge dog run for the pups and awesome access to Hot Springs. At 102 degrees we swam in the furthest spring-pond next to the green shop inside the fenced area. Late afternoon and early morning we had the place to ourselves. It was awesome. Bring a floaty or vest as the sides are slick. Ponds have a nice dock with ladders.
