What to do
Lake activities at Hyrum State Park: The park sits right on a small lake with both boat ramp and beach access within walking distance of campsites. "We rode bikes and paddle boarded. Gets extremely busy on weekends but nice and quiet on the weekdays," reports a visitor at Hyrum State Park Campground.
Wildlife watching on Antelope Island: Just over an hour's drive from Paradise, this unique location offers opportunities to see free-roaming bison and other wildlife. "The bison are free grazing all around and a few came right up to our campground in the early morning! There is a ranch on the far side of the island (Fielding Garr Ranch) which is adorable and definitely worth a visit," notes a camper at Bridger Bay Campground.
Waterfall hiking at North Fork: A short trail leads to a hidden waterfall from the campground. "Had a great stay at North Fork. Camped in the canyon near the trailhead for the waterfall hike. We stayed at campsite 6 which was great, but they were all really nice. Excellent mountain bike trails also," shares a visitor to North Fork County Park.
What campers like
Fenced and gated facilities: Some visitors appreciate the added security at certain campgrounds. "It is totally fenced and gated. The gates close at 10pm and open at 6am. Very peaceful and enjoyable!" notes a camper about Hyrum State Park Campground.
Historic information access: Educational displays provide context about the area. "There are features located near the bathrooms sharing historical info, where I enjoyed learning the history of this area that is the Cache Valley. We enjoyed our morning coffee with a beautiful view!"
Spacious sites with shade: Many cabin and tent sites offer room to spread out. "It's a great, clean KOA that is reasonably priced and has great customer service. It is also skoolie friendly," says a visitor to Brigham City-Perry South KOA.
What you should know
Bug protection essential: Several campgrounds report significant insect activity, especially near water. "Loved this place will definitely go back. Spacious and not too crowded. Lots of hiking spots!" says a camper at Century RV Park.
Gate closure timing: Some campgrounds restrict nighttime 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."
Highway noise considerations: Proximity to Interstate 15 affects some locations. "We stop here on occasion on our way back to Idaho. The camp is really old and not many campers but shady and bathrooms clean. We usually camp in very back by the farm so very quiet."
Tips for camping with families
Activity options for children: Multiple campgrounds offer family-friendly facilities. "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. The New Owners are super friendly and the Bathrooms are very clean."
Beach access for play: Sandy areas provide recreation spots. "We had a good time, the beach is close you can cook and play, drive your food and gear down to the water. Sand is not real fine a little closer to dirt but kids had a good time," according to a visitor at Anderson Cove.
Mountain biking with families: Trail systems accommodate riders of different abilities. "This place is favorite spot to camp if I'm staying local. There are so many spots, and they are all very private. The Camp hosts are great! There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park."
Tips from RVers
Hookup locations: Check the positioning of utility connections before setting up. "The utilities were in the perfect position for an RV towing a car. The front desk was super friendly and gives popcorn every day."
Site surface variations: Different parks offer various pad types. "Concrete pads were nice, but were a couple dollars more than gravel sites. Checkin was quick and easy."
Pull-through availability: Some campgrounds provide easier access sites. "Very nice people. They are spending some money on upgrading infrastructure. Excellent wifi."
