Green Canyon Yurt and Blind Hollow Yurt offer rustic backcountry accommodations accessed by trails northwest of North Logan, Utah. At elevations between 6,000-8,000 feet, these structures provide shelter while maintaining a connection to the surrounding Cache National Forest. Winter access requires cross-country skiing or snowshoeing along forest service roads that become snow-covered from November through April.
What to do
Cross-country skiing on groomed trails: During winter months, the trail to Green Canyon Yurt provides excellent nordic skiing opportunities. "You can also Snowshoe, or ride your bike with fat tires up if your adventurous! The trail is approximately 3.8 miles long with a steady incline most of the way," notes a visitor who enjoyed the winter access.
Hiking with views of Bear Lake: Sunrise Campground offers trails with panoramic vistas. "Behind the bathrooms on the South side there is a little trail with a beautiful view of the lake. If you go exploring behind the East bathrooms you'll see a little creek. The trails are no longer maintained which is a bummer so be careful," explains a regular camper.
Water recreation at Hyrum State Park: The lake provides swimming, boating and fishing options from May through September. "The campground is also a day use area for boats so there is beach access which is great. Facilities are nice and well maintained," shares a visitor who enjoyed the water activities.
What campers like
Privacy among the trees: Friendship Campground provides secluded sites under a maple canopy. "Friendship Campground is situated underneath a large grove of Maple Trees that provide the most beautiful scattered sunbeam shade you'll ever see! There are 5 individual sites that are Walk-in only (not reservable) and 1 large group site (reservable)," notes a camper who appreciated the setting.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The remote locations around North Logan support diverse animal populations. "Heard coyotes and lots of owl pellets around camp," reports a visitor to the Brigham City-Perry South KOA, noting the natural surroundings despite being at a developed facility.
Spacious yurt accommodations: Blind Hollow Yurt provides ample indoor space for groups. "I enjoyed my time here will definitely be coming back. Lots of space," comments a visitor who stayed at this backcountry glamping option near North Logan.
What you should know
Toilet facilities vary widely: Campground bathroom conditions range from basic to well-maintained. "The only reason why I give this a four-star is because the toilets are very old and run down. It was a large group site. The spring was fun for the kids to play in," mentions a visitor to Spring Hollow Campground.
Campsite availability challenges: Popular sites fill quickly during peak seasons. "When my family showed up Friday August 23rd there was no Camp Host. We arrived at 11pm to claim site 6 which I had reserved 5 weeks prior and there was a large family with all their crap all over our site," reports a frustrated camper at Sunrise Campground.
Gate closure times: Some facilities restrict after-hours access. "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," explains a camper at Hyrum State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Water features for children: Natural springs and small water bodies provide entertainment. "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," shares a visitor to Spring Hollow Campground.
Campgrounds with playground access: Some facilities offer dedicated play areas. "Our kids had a blast swimming, playing at the playground and then spending time in the arcade," reports a family that stayed at Brigham City-Perry South KOA.
Family-friendly fishing spots: Several locations offer accessible angling. "Campsites are close but the tall trees offer privacy. The lake is a short walk and has a nice path all the way around it with some good fishing areas and a small 'beach' area," notes a parent who visited Tony Grove Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site accessibility for larger vehicles: Some campgrounds have tight access roads. "The road in the campground is tight on some corners for longer rigs. A lot of spots are difficult to back into with a trailer. Small trailers and tents will work best up here," advises an RV camper at Tony Grove Campground.
Full hookup options: Several developed campgrounds provide complete services. "Very nice people. They are spending some money on upgrading infrastructure. Excellent wifi," notes a visitor to Brigham City-Perry South KOA about recent improvements.
Level site availability: Finding flat parking is crucial for RV comfort. "All the sites are paved (even the dry camping sites) and level. Grassy and shady on most sites," reports an RVer who stayed at Hyrum State Park Campground.
