What to do
**Mountain biking trails: Explore the extensive trail network near North Fork County Park, where visitors can access multiple difficulty levels. "There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park. It's a must!" notes Debbie P., who considers this area a "local fav."
Fishing opportunities: Cast a line at Hyrum State Park where the reservoir supports a healthy fish population. According to Katherine D., "We enjoyed our morning coffee with a beautiful view!" The park maintains year-round access to fishing spots even during winter months.
Wildlife viewing: Visit Bridger Bay Campground for unique animal encounters. "They walk up and graze through the campsites which is a beautiful thing to wake up to," reports John C. about the bison. Another visitor mentions, "We even did the East Island drive and saw Burrowing Owls."
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the spacing at Cottonwood Campground where sites provide reasonable separation. "The sites are well spaced apart giving plenty of privacy. We didn't have much shade in ours but they provide a ramada on a cement pad over the picnic table which was great," says Erin A.
Clean facilities: Visitors consistently mention the well-maintained facilities at various parks. A recent guest at Brigham City-Perry South KOA commented, "The bathrooms were clean. Nice and helpful staff when booking late in the day. After hours pick up was easy and site was clean."
Natural features: Campers enjoy the natural elements near cabin sites. At North Fork County Park, Morgan L. reports: "This campground has been a friends and family favorite for many years. My husband and I recently took our toddler and infant here and had a blast. They found joy in simply throwing pebbles in the creek and making mud."
What you should know
Seasonal insect activity: Be prepared for insects, particularly near water. A Bridger Bay visitor warns, "It's hard to walk or bike because the bugs are so bad. I don't just mean the odd bite, I mean coated in biting gnats as soon as you go outside your vehicle."
Highway noise levels: Several campgrounds near Mantua are close to major roads. Laura K. notes about Willard Bay South Marina: "We stayed one night in early September... Bad part was the freeway noise. Even with ear plugs I could not sleep."
Reservation policies: Most cabin rentals require advance booking, especially during summer. For Blacksmith Fork Guard Station, bookings open months ahead and fill quickly. At North Fork, Fale L. advises: "First come first serves except for large group sites."
Tips for camping with families
Water activities: Families enjoy the beach access at Anderson Cove, where Whitney K. reports, "The beach is so large and it's easy to camp out. The sand is soft and fun for the kids to build sand castles. We also enjoyed the small waves while on the beach."
Playground access: Several cabin camping locations offer play areas for children. At Brigham City-Perry South KOA, Kristan J. shared, "We had a delightful stay over Memorial Day weekend. Our kids had a blast swimming, playing at the playground and then spending time in the arcade."
Short hiking options: Look for cabin locations with easy trails nearby. At Hyrum State Park, Nathan D. found "a road that runs on the north side of the ground that can be loud from passing traffic, otherwise quiet. Handicap accessible bathrooms and showers, plenty of hot water!"
Tips from RVers
Site specifications: RVers staying in cabin accommodations at Century RV Park appreciate the practical setup. Sandra V. notes, "The utilities were in the perfect position for an RV towing a car. The front desk was super friendly and gives popcorn every day."
Off-season benefits: Consider booking cabins during shoulder seasons for better availability and fewer crowds. Joshua D. found Brigham City-Perry South KOA to be "a great, clean Koa that is reasonably priced and has great customer service. It is also skoolie friendly."
Proximity to services: Many cabin campgrounds offer easy access to nearby towns. Lynn S. mentioned that Brigham City-Perry South KOA was "Currently upgrading about 12 spaces all new power water and sewer lines. Very nice people and they are making the facilities better. Great wi-fi."
