Best Campgrounds near Farr West, UT

Camping options near Farr West, Utah include several developed facilities within a short drive of the city. Willard Bay State Park offers multiple campgrounds such as South Marina and Cottonwood, providing access to freshwater recreation with both tent and RV sites. North Fork County Park in Eden and Century RV Park in Ogden expand the range of accommodations to include cabins, yurts, and glamping options. Most established campgrounds in the area maintain picnic tables, fire rings, and designated parking, while amenities like showers, hookups, and drinking water vary by location.

Many campgrounds in the Farr West vicinity operate seasonally, with most facilities open from early April through late September. Winter closures affect higher elevation sites, particularly in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest areas. A visitor commented that "very clean and quaint campground right next to a busy interstate that is very noisy 24/7" about South Marina Campground, highlighting how proximity to I-15 creates accessibility but impacts noise levels at some locations. Full hookup sites for RVs are concentrated in the developed state park campgrounds and private facilities like Century RV Park, while more rustic options can be found in county parks.

Waterfront access represents a major draw for campers in the region, with Willard Bay State Park providing both marina access and swimming beaches. Reviews indicate variable experiences with insects, particularly at waterfront locations. One camper noted that "mosquitoes attacked me like I was in the Florida Everglades" at South Marina, suggesting repellent is essential during summer months. Highway proximity creates convenience but compromises solitude at several locations. North Fork County Park receives consistently positive reviews for its more secluded setting, with visitors reporting excellent stargazing opportunities and spacious sites. Most campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer weekends. Pricing varies significantly, from approximately $25 for basic sites to $60 for full-service locations with water and electrical hookups.

    Century RV Park

    Friendly and helpful staff

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

    Hobbit 2 Dispersed Site

    A one spot stop

    Salt 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.

    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.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful remote campground

    The positives: a beautiful remote spot with huge spaces between campsites. Gorgeous views of the Great Salt Lake. Right now there is no water on the island due to construction at the visitors center. The visitors center is closed though there is a temporary one. One other detractor is the mosquitoes here. We were out at dusk locking our bikes and were swarmed by them!! It has been very windy here. Don’t know if that is usual or a temporary weather thing due to remnants of a Pacific hurricane. If you are looking for solitude without backpacking into the mountains the primitive loop at Bridger Bay campground could be your thing. Nice place to bike also if it weren’t for the wind.

    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

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful buffalo views

    An amazing place to kick back, relax, and hangout with bison. They walk up and graze through the campsites which is a beautiful thing to wake up to. Right now the island doesn’t have water so come prepared. Electrical hook ups. State parks always skoolie friendly.

    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)
