What to do
Hiking access: North Fork County Park offers easy access to waterfall trails suitable for most skill levels. "There's a short waterfall hike, but also a long hike that will take you up to Ben Lomond Peak & cut across to Willard Peak. Go when there's no smoke and you'll have breathtaking views (I'd say May & June are your best bet)," notes Morgan L.
Fishing opportunities: Hyrum State Park Campground cabins provide convenient access to stocked fishing areas. "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," writes Brenda L.
Bird watching: Wildlife viewing opportunities abound at lakeside cabins. "Lots of birds, a nice nature trail, and this facility is on a fresh water lake and it was nice to take a swim. Walking around at dusk we saw deer and a large barn owl. Sounds of the crickets made for a very magical feel just after sunset," describes Laura K. from Willard Bay State Park.
What campers like
Quiet locations: North Fork County Park provides secluded cabin rentals away from urban noise. "This place is favorite spot to camp if I'm staying local. There are so many spots, and they are all very private. The Camp hosts are great! There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park," explains Debbie P.
Clean facilities: Bathroom access varies significantly between cabin locations. "Handicap accessible bathrooms and showers, plenty of hot water!" reports Nathan D. about his stay at Hyrum State Park. Some forest service cabins may only offer vault toilets or require guests to bring portable options.
Historical features: Some cabin properties include educational elements. "There are features located near the bathrooms sharing historical info, where I enjoyed learning the history of this area that is the Cache Valley. We enjoyed our morning coffee with a beautiful view!" shares Shawnee from Hyrum State Park.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabins book quickly, especially during peak seasons. "We booked this campsite later into the season so we were lucky to get a spot," notes Sandra W. about Hyrum State Park.
Site security: Hyrum State Park cabins feature secured entry points. "It is totally fenced and gated. The gates close at 10pm and open at 6am," writes Brenda L. This security measure can be problematic for late arrivals as Sandra W. mentions: "The only thing that was annoying is that they lock the front gate at 10PM so if you are out after that time, you have to park your car on the street and walk to your campsite."
Insect preparations: Lakefront cabins require proper insect management during summer months. "Lots of bugs in early to mid-summer. Wear repellent," cautions Michael B. who camped at Willard Bay. This is especially important for evening activities.
Tips for camping with families
Child-friendly amenities: Bear Lake/Marina Side KOA Holiday cabins offer extensive recreation options for children. "There is an amazing playground for kids, swimming pool, and jumping pillow. Activities range from basketball, pickle ball, bounce area, mini golf, shuffle board, sand volleyball," details a camper.
Natural exploration: Cabin locations with water access provide educational opportunities. "The beach is close you can cook and play, drive your food and gear down to the water. Sand is not real fine a little closer to dirt but kids had a good time," shares Nathan B. about Hyrum State Park's waterfront.
Spacious group sites: Some cabin areas accommodate extended family gatherings. "Our family has our annual family reunion in Mustang Flats every summer, CW8 & CW9 are great for 5 families because they're connected by a little road," explains Fale L. regarding North Fork County Park.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Brigham City-Perry South KOA offers cabin alternatives for RVers needing a break. "We usually camp in very back by the farm so very quiet. Heard coyotes and lots of owl pellets around camp," suggests Meredith S. about selecting quieter locations.
Resource management: Many cabins near Logan lack running water. "Got in late around 2100. Plenty of spots available in the back without electric. I did get a spot right next to the lake. Has picnic table, firepit, and charcoal grill available," shares Nathan D. who recommends bringing appropriate cooking equipment.
Local dining options: When staying in cabins without full kitchens, nearby restaurants provide meal alternatives. "For a great dinner out try Maddox Ranch House (2.5 miles away) and skip the 60 min plus wait by asking the camp hosts for a VIP seating pass. Worth it," recommends Robert S. from Brigham City-Perry South KOA.
