Best Campgrounds near North Logan, UT

The North Logan area provides a diverse camping landscape in northern Utah, with options ranging from primitive dispersed sites to developed campgrounds with full amenities. Green Canyon Dispersed Campground offers free camping just outside North Logan city limits, featuring sites suitable for tent camping with fire rings, vault toilets, and picnic tables. Several established campgrounds dot the nearby Logan Canyon, including Guinavah-Malibu Campground and Spring Hollow Campground along Highway 89. The region includes both US Forest Service sites in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest and state park facilities at Hyrum State Park, which offers tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and yurts along the reservoir shoreline.

Camping access in northern Utah varies significantly by season, with many Forest Service campgrounds operating from May through September or early October. Roads leading to dispersed camping areas may require high-clearance vehicles, particularly after rain or snowmelt. "Green Canyon was recommended by a friend. Plenty great dispersed sites for car camping. Tons of little spots along a gravel road. Fire rings and multiple clean bathrooms are available," noted one visitor to Green Canyon. The higher elevation sites provide cooler temperatures during summer months when valley temperatures frequently exceed 90°F. Cell service is generally available near main roads but becomes spotty in canyon areas. Most dispersed camping follows a 14-day stay limit, while established campgrounds typically require reservations during peak summer months.

Campers consistently mention the scenic mountain backdrop as a highlight of camping near North Logan. The proximity to Logan Canyon and the Bear River Range provides access to hiking trails, fishing streams, and mountain biking opportunities directly from many campsites. A recent review described the area as having "STUNNING and charming views of mountains and a vast valley." Developed campgrounds along rivers receive particularly high ratings, with South Fork Campground described as an "absolutely awesome spot" with friendly hosts and secluded sites with good tree cover. Noise levels vary considerably, with sites closer to Highway 89 experiencing more road noise than those tucked deeper into canyons or forest areas. During summer weekends, early arrival is recommended as popular sites fill quickly, especially those with water access or shade.

    Cache National Forest Camping

    We got to the campground around 5:00 PM. The gates were open, but the billboard/signs were covered up. We had zero cell service so we couldn’t get online to check anything, but we assumed it was closed for the season. There were some people camping up on the hill in the loop, so we decided to do the same since we were only stopping for the night to get some rest. This area was very busy with trail riders.. a lot of OHV’s ripping thru and around made it pretty noisy, but we weren’t bothered by it. We did walk through the campground and found it to be really nice. The creek running beside it, is really great. The vault toilets in the front of the campground were unlocked, but not well kept. Each campsite had a picnic table and fire ring/pit. There is water available in the campground, but we didn’t check to see if it was still turned on. If we’re ever back in the area, we’d definitely camp here!

    Century RV Park

    Friendly and helpful staff

    Convenient and reasonable. They closed the swimming pool and spa for the winter. The shower was clean.

    South Eden Campground — Bear Lake State Park

    View of Bear Lake

    Great view of the lake, little chilly for October. Quiet lots of deer near the campsite #12. Very large space, picnic table. Only 3 campers here at this time. Would visit again this time of year.

    Hobbit 2 Dispersed Site

    A one spot stop

    Didn’t stay, it’s right next to the road maybe for a camper van not for a truck and 30’ camper

    Valley View RV Resort

    Newer place with some nice ammenities

    Nice RV Resort with many amenities including pool, hot tub, outdoor fire pit, pickleball courts. Friendly staff. Laundry machines are limited given the size of the park. Also showers are inexplicably small. Bathrooms with toilet, sink, shower are adequate size but the showers are quite small (and I am not a large person). Paved sites but not level. I’d stay again but perhaps do my laundry somewhere else on the way in.

    Valley View RV Resort

    Stunning views and the sound of freedom

    We’ve stayed here several times and have to say the vibes are patriotic and welcoming. The Air Force base and surrounding mountains feel like you’re in a Top Gun movie. Clean bathrooms, clean pool and spa, super cool staff, and my kids had a blast making memories. Thanks Valley View - Claire

    Riverside RV Resort

    Lovely spot

    Very safe and nice spot to stay with kids. Gated entry is a plus for me, and the staff is so kind and welcoming.

    Smithfield Dispersed Campsite

    Beautiful location

    I first visited this area in the spring, and have since been there around 4-5 times. It’s very beautiful with lots of greenery and a river through the whole canyon. The road is dirt and bumpy so be prepared for that but I’ve never had a problem finding a spot. 10/10 would recommend (though in the spring the river is loud because it is more rushing)

    Anderson Cove (uinta-wasatch-cache National Forest, Ut)

    No bang for your buck

    I wish I read the reviews better before stopping here. It’s $38 a night. That gets you a spot on a paved pad, no hook ups. There are shade trees but they don’t offer privacy. Only out house/pit toilets, the one near my spot was dirty. The campground is on a busy road so lots of noise there. I don’t need to stay here again.


Guide to North Logan

North Logan camping ranges from high desert to alpine environments, with elevations between 4,700 and 7,800 feet across nearby camping areas. Summer temperatures typically cool 10-15°F at higher elevation campsites compared to town temperatures. Seasonal access varies significantly, with most Forest Service roads open from late May through mid-October, depending on snowpack conditions.

What to do

Hiking access from camp: Jardine Juniper Trail is accessible just 200 yards from Wood Camp Campground, offering a moderate 5.5-mile hike. "The entire camp site is completely protected by large Willow trees... It has easy access to the Jardine Juniper trail which is only about 200 yards away," notes camper Preston P.

Trail connections: The Guinavah - Malibu Campground serves as a trailhead hub. "Across the road is the Wind Caves Trailhead. Just down the road is the Crimson Trail Head," reports a camper. Both trails offer moderate day hikes with panoramic valley views.

Water activities: Hyrum State Park Reservoir provides boating, swimming, and fishing options from May through September. "There is a boat ramp and a small beach. The campground is small... about 8 or 9 sites with w/e and about a dozen sites with dry camping," explains a visitor who camped at the park.

What campers like

Riverside camping: Wood Camp's location next to running water creates a natural noise buffer. "It is set right next to the river which helps drown out the noise from the road," one camper mentions about this six-site campground along Logan Canyon.

Shade coverage: Smithfield Campground offers exceptional tree coverage during hot summer months. "The campsite was nestled in a forested area accessed by a dirt road... the entire camp is completely protected," a reviewer noted about this smaller Forest Service site.

Clean facilities: Despite being primitive, bathrooms at most area campgrounds receive positive reviews. "Vault toilets were clean and looked new," reports a visitor to Bridger Campground. Another camper at Spring Hollow appreciated the "cool spring and flushing toilets," noting this less common amenity in canyon campgrounds.

What you should know

Seasonal limitations: Many campsite near North Logan close during winter. "Road to dispersed camping is closed Dec 1 - April 15. Permit fee is $10 for 3 days," explains a winter visitor to Green Canyon Dispersed Campground.

Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience significant traffic and activity noise. "Very loud, with folks driving around until the AM. Definitely a local party spot," writes one Green Canyon visitor. Another notes, "We were woken up at midnight by explosions... kids down the road drinking and having fun, setting off mortars at midnight on a Wednesday."

Late arrival challenges: State parks like Hyrum enforce strict gate hours. "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," explains a camper, noting this is particularly problematic since "it's a residential area and a lot of the street parking is restricted."

Tips for camping with families

Wildlife viewing spots: Bridger Campground provides opportunities to see local fauna. "Birds in caves in side of valley," notes one visitor who spotted wildlife without having to venture far from camp.

Kid-friendly water play: Spring Hollow Campground offers safe water access for younger children. "The spring was fun for the kids to play in. There was a small dam at the bottom where the kids could swim and kayak," explains a family camper about this site located approximately 8 miles up Logan Canyon.

Spacious group areas: Several campgrounds accommodate larger family gatherings. "We had a large group site. The spring was fun for the kids to play in," explains a visitor to Spring Hollow, one of several area campgrounds that designate specific sites for family groups.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Aspen Grove RV Park offers consistently level concrete pads. "The sites were long, paved, and level," notes a reviewer who stopped at this private park. Another mentions, "Huge full hookup sites with concrete pads. Nice and quiet despite being near the intersection of I-15 and I-84."

RV size restrictions: Most forest service campgrounds have length limitations. "I wouldn't recommend going too far in with a big trailer," cautions a visitor about the narrowing roads in Logan Canyon. Most dispersed sites accommodate rigs under 25 feet, while developed campgrounds can handle slightly larger units.

Hookup availability: Full-service options exist but may require driving from North Logan. "Great place to overnight while passing through northern Utah," explains an RVer about Aspen Grove, located approximately 45 minutes northwest of North Logan with "all the amenities, 2 laundry rooms, 2 bathhouses... sites are immaculate and well planned out."
