A visitor commented that Blacksmith Fork Guard Station is "great for families who want a little less remote camping experience" while still enjoying outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and mountain biking.

Most cabins provide basic furnishings such as beds and tables but require visitors to bring their own linens, sleeping bags, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations - from fully equipped kitchens with propane appliances at Blacksmith Fork Guard Station to simple fire rings at more primitive sites. Campers should check specific campground websites for detailed packing lists before arrival. The closest supply points are in Logan and Hyrum, where grocery stores and outdoor retailers stock camping essentials.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    A good example of how government campsites should be done

    Overall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups. 

     All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.

    A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

    Conestoga Ranch

    Total Glamping experience

    Conestoga Ranch is a destination that gives luxury a down home feel.

     Located in Garden City, Utah on the beautiful Bear Lake Conestoga Ranch offers luxury tents and a chance to stay in a covered wagon.

    I stayed in a larger, more luxurious site because my wife and I were on our Anniversary weekend.

    The tent had a king bed, shower, and deep claw foot tub. The decor is charmingly rustic with log furnishings and tin and raw pipe for plumbing and accessories, this is all intentional and makes the experience even better.

    Onsite, there are clean shower rooms and rest rooms, laundry facilities, an arcade, and a very fine restaurant and lounge.

    Upon check in, you park by the office and a attendant takes you and your gear up to your site, later on a fire concierge will come and start your fire as you relax and take in all the beauty around you.

    Bear Lake offers so much opportunity for recreation, from boating, to side x side rentals to beaches, mountain biking and some shopping.

    This luxury comes at a price...a pretty steep price for camping, rates vary, but staying before memorial day gave us the better rate. 

    I do think that the price is worth the wonderful experiences that we had at this fun little place.

    Have a great time.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    Decent water destination!

    We went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.

    Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah

    On the beach!

    This campground seems like it is one of the closer campgrounds to the water. It's pet-friendly, has full hookups, picnic tables, and wifi. The nice thing about this campground is it does have a beach as well as water/lake access. Not as many amenities as the KOA (Bear Lake/Marina Side). 

    The bathhouse was very clean. Did seem less busy than the KOA (Bear Lake/Marina Side).

    Blacksmith Fork Guard Station

    Everything you need is there!

    We have stayed at this campsite for a few years in a row and plan to keep coming back. The guard station comes fully equipped with cooking utensils and dishes and cleaning supplies. It also includes a propane refrigerator and stove. There are plenty of hiking and biking trails nearby. It does get busy, and you do hear the ATVs going up and down the road all day. There is also a river/stream that runs behind the cabin that is great for fishing. The cabin itself is clean and well maintained. Its the perfect mix of outdoors (no running water, no wi-fi) with some comforts with the stove and beds in the cabin. Great for families who want a little less remote camping experience.

    Hyrum State Park Campground

    Small peaceful state park

    We love state parks and decided to try Hyrum Stare Park for a couple of nights as we were heading south. This state park is basically in the middle of a neighborhood of a small community. Locals seem to love it but it’s not crowded at all.. It’s right on a small lake with 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. All the sites are paved (even the dry camping sites) and level. Grassy and shady on most sites. Two bathhouses and a dump on site. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. They also have a couple of cabins available. No store but there is a few things close by to get ice and a few things. It is totally fenced and gated. The gates close at 10pm and open at 6am. Very peaceful and enjoyable!

    Egan Basin Guard Station

    Peaceful, Remote and Beautiful

    For $30 a night this camping site is a real deal! The site is well maintained, and the A-frame cabin on the site was perfect for our family of 5. The cabin and campsite has no electricity and no water, so you need to pack it all in. Its nice to have a chance to get away from technology and enjoy the outdoors. It is about an hour + to get somewhere where you can get water or other supplies, so you will need to plan accordingly.

    Pros: remote, peaceful, quiet. Some nice trails nearby for hiking and mountain biking and ATVs. Also there is a stream that runs along the road to the cabin that is available for fishing. Also, although there are other campsites along the road to the guard station, once at the cabin (about 1/4 off the main forest road), you don't even know there are other people around.

    Cons: When we were there LOTS of mosquitos, the forest service road to the guard station gate is a little rough in some places. For those without AWD or 4WD might have a hard time in places.

    Cottonwood Campground — Willard Bay State Park

    State campground close to highway

    Two loops that we saw, the first has no hook ups and the second has power and water at each site. There’s a little paved slab with a picnic table and covering, each site has a fire pit and charcoal grill. $30 for no hook ups $40 for hookups, got in around 8pm and no $30 sites left. There are toilets and showers for each loop. Really close to the highway so be prepared for that noise, and there’s a train that goes by every so often.

    North Fork County Park

    Nice, spacious, and secluded

    Enough trees to keep your site private, able to fit a 30' trailer in over 75% of their spots, and holy cow the number of spots they have, this place is the size of 4 good sized camp grounds combined. Fire pits and picnic tables included, but that's all that's included so pack your generator and fill your water.... 5 stars it's exactly the get away we were looking for.


Guide to Paradise

Cabin rentals near Paradise, Utah offer rustic accommodations in mountainous terrain at elevations ranging from 4,500 to 7,000 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 50-85°F while winter months drop well below freezing with significant snowfall. Most rental cabins don't have air conditioning, relying instead on natural ventilation and cooler mountain air.

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."
