Green Canyon Dispersed Campground requires a permit for camping with pets in the mountains northeast of Providence. Pets must be kept on leash at all times in this free camping area that features fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets. The dirt access road becomes narrow as you travel deeper into the canyon, limiting access for larger RVs or trailers. Many campsites are positioned along the road with varying levels of shade and privacy. The campground receives substantial traffic from mountain bikers using nearby trails, creating a busy atmosphere even during weeknights.
Hyrum State Park Campground accommodates pets at both its electric hookup sites and primitive camping areas along the lake shore. The campground closes gates at 10 PM nightly, requiring campers to park outside and walk in if returning later. Pet owners appreciate the grassy sites with shade trees and close proximity to the water for dog swimming opportunities. A road runs along the north side of the campground with occasional traffic noise, though the area remains relatively peaceful. The state park features clean bathroom facilities with hot showers and is located within a residential neighborhood offering walking routes for daily pet exercise. Some campsites remain available without reservations even during peak season, though arriving early improves selection chances.
"Perhaps a little too close to the university in Logan Utah it was busy that Friday night. I think all the spots filled by 7pm some 50 people there that night."
"About 15 mins outside of Logan up a beautiful canyon. Headed up around 4pm on a Saturday during Memorial Day weekend so didn’t have high hopes but found a spot with a fire ring almost immediately!"
"This is a small state park campground located in a neighborhood. This lake was so popular while we were there over Father's Day weekend."
"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."

ScoutIt 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.
ScoutWhow…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.
TravelerThe 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!
GuideGreat 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.
GuideThis was a top notch camp ground. They are going through a major upgrade. Many tiny homes, spots with private hot tubs and fenced in yards, great of you have a dog!! Nice grass dog park. ACS hardware and a full grocery store next door.
TravelerThis was a great spot for a night stopover. Pro is very clean, pass are huge and level. Nice little dog park run as well.
Several kiddos running around on their scooters having a great time and their clubhouse just opened. Highly recommend.
ScoutClean restrooms and showers good wifi with a pleasant little store and the big dog park was a welcome surprise. Loved it ,only problem was the tight cramped spots.
TravelerNew RV park & sparkling clean. Large clubhouse with all amenities & beautifully decorated! Dog park and nice laundry/shower facilities. Efficient and friendly check- in procedures. Pricey but worth it. Gift shop & mini- market on premises. No tents allowed.
GuideI had never been to a KOA campground before but we were driving cross country and were tired. For $43 for a tent site we got a nice patch of grass and a fire pit. It’s clean and comfortable, but definitely a busy place. You are right next to your neighbor but they do try and put you in every-other site for space. Great bathroom facilities, dog park, amenities.
It really depends on what you like. We are tent campers that like forest service campgrounds so this is too busy for us. But a nice spot.

The area experiences warm summer days with cool evenings, while spring and fall camping often brings temperature swings of 30-40 degrees in a single day. Winter camping restrictions apply in several canyons from December through mid-April.
Mountain biking access: At Smithfield Campground, campers can access multiple trail networks. "Beautiful and quiet! Next to a beautiful creek. No cell service," notes Adam D., highlighting the isolation that makes it ideal for outdoor activities without digital distractions.
Fishing opportunities: The rivers running through Logan Canyon provide trout fishing spots accessible from multiple campgrounds. "Super dog friendly and great fishing at this location!" says one Becky J. review of Friendship Campground, making it suitable for anglers with pets.
Hiking to caves: The canyons surrounding Providence feature unique geological formations. "Birds in caves in side of valley. Well loved trail starts a short distance up the road," reports Joanna from Green Canyon, describing interesting natural features just steps from campsites.
Waterfall viewing: Several hiking trails lead to seasonal waterfalls. At Wood Camp Campground, "The noise from the road isn't very noticeable as you sit along a beautiful creek. It's super relaxing and very affordable!" according to GoWhereYouAreDraw N., who appreciates the natural water features.
Evening quiet: While many campgrounds experience daytime traffic, evenings tend to be more peaceful. "We had a quiet (only a couple of other campers further up) and enjoyable overnight visit but road was quite icy," notes Joanna about winter camping in Green Canyon.
Clean facilities: Hyrum State Park Campground maintains well-kept amenities. "Great campground, the host is really nice, it's clean, has great bathrooms and a great view of the lake!" says Rachel G., indicating the maintained facilities enhance the camping experience.
River sound buffers: Several campgrounds position sites near flowing water to minimize road noise. "My one gripe is that the campground is fairly close to the main road and you can hear all the traffic. It does quiet down later in the day, but the road noise can be distracting at times," explains Mikhial S. about Guinavah-Malibu Campground.
Shade coverage: The region's campgrounds often feature substantial tree canopy. "The entire camp site (6 sites) is completely protected by large Willow trees," writes Preston P. about Wood Camp Campground, describing the natural shelter available.
Reservation windows: Many campgrounds operate on first-come, first-served basis, requiring early arrival. "We headed up around 4pm on a Saturday during Memorial Day weekend so didn't have high hopes but found a spot with a fire ring almost immediately!" recounts Kristen P. about Green Canyon.
Road conditions: Bridger Campground access varies seasonally. "Great trails and a beautiful river. The double site in the back is my favorite (except the abandoned camper across the road). Very wooded," notes GoWhereYouAreDraw N., mentioning specific site preferences.
Permit requirements: Some areas require permits during specific seasons. "Road to dispersed camping is closed Dec 1 - April 15. Permit fee is $10 for 3 days," shares Joanna about Green Canyon's winter restrictions.
Traffic patterns: Weekends bring higher visitor counts throughout the area. "Camped with friends we had cell service via t-mobile, att&t, and visible with varying strengths. No cost, first come first serve. Bathroom is a about a mile from the coordinates," explains CrookedSnake about Green Canyon's services and connectivity.
Site selection strategy: Choose sites away from main roads for child safety. "We liked this campground because it was quiet and intimate," notes GoWhereYouAreDraw N. about Guinavah-Malibu Campground, suggesting families seek more secluded options.
Water access considerations: Friendship Campground offers stream access for children. "This is a paid campground, but it is in a beautiful canyon with amazing views! We brought our dogs and they loved it. There is a small stream that pools up right by the campsites," reports Kylee S., highlighting water features safe for pets and kids.
Vehicle limitations: Larger family setups face access constraints in some areas. "I wouldn't recommend bringing large trailers… the loop the campsite is located on has a rather tight turn that can be difficult for the larger trailers to navigate," warns Derek E. about Friendship Campground's access limitations.
Emergency preparation: Cell service varies dramatically between canyons. "We had cell service via t-mobile, att&t, and visible with varying strengths," notes one camper, while others report complete absence of service, requiring advance planning for families.
Hookup availability: Aspen Grove RV Park offers full-service sites. "Huge full hookup sites with concrete pads. Nice and quiet despite being near the intersection of I-15 and I-84. Would definitely return!" says David M., highlighting the practical layout for larger vehicles.
Turning radius concerns: Canyon roads present navigation challenges for longer RVs. "The road gets narrower as you drive up the canyon and the campsites are spread out along the way over about 5+ miles. I wouldn't recommend going too far in with a big trailer," advises Jake S. about canyon accessibility.
Evening access restrictions: Some campgrounds restrict late arrivals. "Reiterating what many other reviewers have said, this place is a great place to stop in Northern Utah. The sites are huge and I love that they aren't jammed too close together," comments Victoria C. on Aspen Grove's spaciousness for RVs.
Non-reservable options: Off-season camping provides better site selection for larger units. "About 15 mins outside of Logan up a beautiful canyon... There was also another spot open down the road. Lots of people camping, hiking, mountain biking, and ATVs, so some traffic on the road, even after dark," shares Kristen P. about Green Canyon.
