Water recreation dominates the glamping experience near Roy with both Pineview Reservoir and Willard Bay offering excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming just steps from luxury accommodations. Anderson Cove glamping sites provide convenient beach access with soft sand that's perfect for families. A visitor noted, "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." Hiking trails surround many of the glamping resorts, with nearby mountains providing scenic backdrops. Most glamping accommodations in the area operate seasonally, typically from May through September, with Willard Bay's glamping sites available from early April to late September. Reservations for these premium glamping experiences should be made well in advance, especially for summer weekends when waterfront yurts and safari tents book quickly.

Please check out my other reviews. More to come. Happy camping.
TravelerOverall, 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.

GuideI've camped here several times since I was a child. It's nice that there is a river that runs nearby. There are about 50 campsites on a first come first served basis. 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. Fires are allowed only part of the year. The forest service puts flags in the fire pits when it gets too dry. There are hiking trails (such as leathams hollow) and a few rock climbing routes as well. Lots of people go four wheeling and motorcycling as well.
GuideWe stopped off here for one night on our way to Bryce Canyon. We arrived late, but someone had stayed around to welcome us and give us a goody bag with nutter butters, coozies, and fresh plums, which was really nice!
They pack them in tight here! Each pitch is no wider than 15’, which actually makes it pretty challenging to back in. There isn’t really any outside space, unless you want to squeeze some chairs next to your neighbor’s sewer hookup.
That being said, the facilities are great and the folks running the place are really friendly and helpful. Showers are free, hot, and clean. There’s a well-stocked store, laundry room, propane fill-up, etc.
GuideThis is a small state park campground located in a neighborhood. This lake was so popular while we were there over Father's Day weekend. As busy as it was, everyone followed the quiet hours and it was so peaceful at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return. We were in electric and water hookup site number 3 in the middle row. The sites along the water have great views, but little shade and do not have any hookups. The sites are close together ,but angled nicely so you still have privacy. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely with a mixture of farms and new construction. Felt completely safe biking and running through the surrounding area. The park is close to the town of Logan, Utah. We loaded up our bikes and took advantage of their extensive trail system only 15 minutes from the park. The town of Logan has everything you need to restock on supplies including Costco.
TravelerRight up Big Cottonwood Canyon, this campground has the advantage of being up the canyon so you feel far away from the city, but close enough that you could go on a work night and still make it to the office the next day. Fire pits and restrooms are near campsites, but note that the gate closes late at night so expect to walk from the road if you show up too late. More of a loud, lively site than a quiet spot in the wilderness. A fun place for camping and making s'mores with friends.
TravelerWe camped here in July, I definitely recommend going beforehand to scope out which site you would like best and reserve it online because this place gets all booked up! Close to the river and nice roomy site with a table and fire pit. Bathroom within walking distance!
GuideTwo 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.
ScoutRedman campground was a nice place. We camped next to a small stream which added nice background noise. We enjoyed a campfire and some s'mores. The only thing we would have liked better is if the camp host was more willing to work with us in telling us which spots were reserved already. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Anderson Cove and North Fork County Park provide established camping facilities within 30 miles of Roy, Utah. Located at elevations between 4,500-6,000 feet, the area offers four-season camping options with summer temperatures typically ranging from 75-95°F. Many campgrounds remain accessible year-round, though primitive facilities may close during winter months.
Fishing options: Ogden River access at South Fork (UT) provides excellent trout fishing. The clear waters support multiple trout species during summer months. "A very clean and very convenient campground. Tons of trails nearby and being on the reservoir is great for hot days. Fishing was a blast! Will definitely be back," notes Tyler G.
Waterfall hiking: Several trails near campgrounds lead to seasonal waterfalls. At North Fork County Park, campers can access hiking trails that lead to waterfalls within a short distance from camp. "We stayed at campsite 6 which was great, but they were all really nice. Excellent mountain bike trails also. Can't wait to go back and ride more of them," writes Rich J.
Bird watching: Great Salt Lake shoreline camping offers unique migratory bird viewing. The shallow waters and wetlands around Willard Bay and Antelope Island support hundreds of bird species. "The swans circling the water are something to see. Lots of shade rustic but serviceable showed," reports Meredith S. about Cottonwood Campground.
Privacy between sites: Some campgrounds offer more separation than others. Cottonwood Campground — Willard Bay State Park features well-spaced sites with shade structures. "The sites are well spaced apart giving plenty of privacy. We didn't have much shade in ours but they provide a ramada on a cement pad over the picnic table which was great," says Erin A.
Clean facilities: Most established campgrounds maintain good bathroom standards. Modern restrooms and shower facilities are available at many locations. "Bathrooms are clean and camp host was nice and helpful," reports David H. about North Fork County Park.
Mountain views: Many sites offer panoramic vistas. At Hill AFB FamCamp, the backdrop of mountains creates scenic camping conditions. "There's a nice few of the mountains and seeing/hearing the F-35 rip through the sky was awesome!" notes Chris L.
Bug pressure: Biting insects are a significant concern at some locations. Gnats and mosquitoes can be problematic, especially near water. "The mosquitos started to swarm and chased us inside. Haven't experienced that level of bugginess outside of several of the swamps we camped at in the southeast," explains Rod D. about Cottonwood Campground.
Highway noise: Several campgrounds experience traffic sounds. Willow Creek Campground and Cottonwood Campground both sit near Interstate 15, creating a constant background noise. "The traffic from the freeway was very loud and in the morning the trains would honk their horns waking everyone up," reports Melissa L.
Reservation windows: Popular sites book quickly during peak season. Many reservable campsites open 4-6 months in advance and fill immediately. "You need to reserve sites here well in advance as it fills up for the entire Summer as soon as the reservation window opens," advises Barb D.
Splash pads: Some campgrounds offer water features for children. Hill AFB FamCamp provides additional water recreation beyond the lake. "The campground is right next to the base splash pad and a big park," mentions Chris L.
Beach access: Look for camping with direct shoreline proximity. White Rock Bay Campground offers beach access within walking distance of campsites. "We had beach access down to the beach and got to watch the sunset completely private," shares Haley N.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many sites offer animal sightings. Antelope Island's campgrounds provide opportunities to see native wildlife. "The campgrounds were very open with not many trees but a great view of the lake. We saw fox that came right up to our tent and lots of bison close by," reports Whitney K.
Site orientation matters: Some loops work better for certain rigs. At Dixie Creek Campground, site selection can impact your experience. "Stayed in spot 28 which was good and had view of lake until neighbor pulled in with a giant 5th wheel. Spot 19 is in the middle and seems to have a good view regardless of who is parked in adjacent spots," advises Mark M.
Hookup locations: Utility connections aren't standardized across campgrounds. Some sites have unusual placement of water, electric and sewer connections. "The hook ups (especially sewer) are awkwardly to the far rear of the sites," notes Chris L. about Hill AFB FamCamp.
Late arrival protocols: After-hours check-in procedures vary by location. Some campgrounds have automated systems while others may close gates. "We stopped off here for one night on our way to Bryce Canyon. We arrived late, but someone had stayed around to welcome us and give us a goody bag with nutter butters, coozies, and fresh plums," shares Jen R. about staying at Brigham City-Perry South KOA.
