GuideGreat site, kept clean both around the grounds and facilities. Staff is great, and host weekly activities that are communicated via text. Yes the jets are loud but generally only fly in the afternoon and are not that big of a deal.
TravelerThis is one of the best campgrounds around. The owners are amazing and the location with large trees for shade. Deck with BBQs. Big hangout area in grass. We hold a fishing tourney here every year and we all love hanging out at the campground after!
ScoutThere was no overnight camping aloud
GuideThis had amazing views, including a cool cave. However, the road is very bumpy and the spots are smaller. It would not be good for a larger RV. The spots fill up very quickly.
GuideFirst the campsite was very nice, bathrooms very clean, the campsite was well cared for which is why were shocked someone didn't correct the signs .....We were at WIllow Creek site 161, we arrived late in the evening ( at dusk) the signs only indicated camp sites up to 159 so we stopped at the camp host and knocked on the door, no one came to the door, so we drove around trying to find our camp site. We finally found our site ( 161) which was not listed on any sign, frustration we didn't need. For that reason I will never camp there again. How difficult is it to change a sign? Don't rely on Google Maps to get you here, follow the directions on your reservation confirmation.....
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
TravelerWonderful views of Great Salt Lake. Plenty of bison. Other wildlife best seen hiking or biking on the trails, which are the ways this park is best seen. Bring mosquito netting for the “no-see-ums” in the Spring. Winnebago Travato with dogs.
