Fun little spot for a quick get away.
Just wanted to take the wife and kiddos for a quick 2 night trip not to far from town.

Great place hidden Gem
Very helpful employees, clean and pet friendly. Can see mountains all around you. Great WiFi and good water. Three dog parks and dog washing bay.

RV Heaven
My god-father and mother come into town yearly and stay at this location in their 5th wheel. The facility is spotless! Seriously, the staff keep the entire grounds in great condition. There are dozens and dozens of spots that fit just about any size RV or 5th wheel. Every spot has water and electric hookups, picnic tables, and enough grass space to setup pet pens.
There are several different amenities including a pool, playground for the kids, life-size chessboard, and a mini-breed dog park!

Very New
It is a lovely place. Nice patch of grass at the site. River and walking trail just steps away from all sites. Would be nice if the dog park was finished. There are other amenities that are planned to be available, but are not available yet. It is a very pretty place with the mountain backdrop. Lovely sunrises and sunsets. Beautiful.
Kim G.LegendSalt Lake City KOA
Urban campground convenient to SLC
We wanted to explore Salt Lake City so decided to stay at this downtown KOA. It is a large and crowded RV park but right on a Transit line (UTA light rail Trax) and biking distance to downtown. The facilities are older but clean. Standard Holiday amenities like pool, dog park, dog wash, basketball court. We’d stay again if I wanted to be close to downtown.

So clean
Whow…new new new facilities with all the big rigs pull thru power water sewer games dog park ice cream souvenir shops easy on and off the freeway. Close to restaurants. But a sterile walking environment. Concrete pads and all… can’t go wrong here.

Nice and new
The place was nice and new. There is a dog park area and access to a trail which runs along the river. There is a lot of noise from the interstate and the nearby Air Force base. The only issue we had was that the street lights in the resort were super bright at night. We're glad there wasn't one above our spot!

Cute little spot
Great amenities, dog park, showers, laundry. Stayed here long term a couple times and it’s always a great stay! Close to the park, splash pad, and track. Hosts are pleasant. A little close together but good for being on base.
Guide to Ogden
The Ogden area sits at the junction of the Wasatch Range and Great Salt Lake, with elevations ranging from 4,300 to 9,700 feet across nearby camping options. Summer temperatures regularly reach 100°F during July and August, with cooler mountain camping sites typically 10-15 degrees cooler than valley locations. Campsites in Ogden Canyon provide refuge from summer heat with natural shade and proximity to mountain streams.
What to do
Wildlife viewing at Antelope Island: Drive 30 minutes west of Ogden to Bridger Bay Campground for bison and antelope sightings. "This place is weird and awesome. There's bison roaming around, badgers, and tons of great birds to watch. There's some really cool stuff scattered along the beach along the Salt Lake," notes Kaila R.
Mountain biking trails: Access the extensive trail network from North Fork County Park in Ogden Canyon. "Had a great stay at North Fork. Camped in the canyon near the trailheaad for the waterfall hike. We stayed at campsite 6 which was great, but they were all really nice. Excellent mountain bike trails also," writes Rich J.
Tubing on Ogden River: Campsites at South Fork Campground provide direct river access. "Access to Ogden River for tubing! Causey and Ouneview very close!" notes Barb D. Life jackets are required for all river activities, and water levels are typically best for tubing from mid-June through August.
What campers like
Cool swimming options: Pineview Reservoir at Anderson Cove Campground offers sandy beaches and warm water. "There was a lot of space to be spread out from others. 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," Whitney K. explains.
Morning wildlife encounters: Early risers at Bridger Bay Campground might spot free-ranging bison. "The bison are free grazing all around and a few came right up to our campground in the early morning!" Steven M. reports. Best viewing times are dawn and dusk when animals are most active.
Waterfall hiking: Access hidden cascades directly from campsites. "There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park. It's a must!" shares Debbie P. about North Fork County Park. The waterfall trail is approximately 1 mile round-trip with minimal elevation gain.
What you should know
Noise considerations: Highway and transportation noise affects several campgrounds. "This RV park was overall a good experience. We didn't use the pool, but they had one. Our biggest complaint about this park was the minimal distance between sites," notes Rachel H. about Century RV Park.
Insect preparation: Mosquitoes and biting gnats are prevalent at waterfront campgrounds, especially Willard Bay. "But honestly, 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," warns @57overlander C.
Reservation timing: Popular mountain campgrounds fill quickly during summer. "We've camped all over in North Fork sites! Our family has our anual family reunion in Mustang Flats every summer... All sizes of sites for all sizes of groups! First come first serves except for large group sites," advises Fale L.
Tips for camping with families
Water play options: Splash pads provide additional recreation for children.
