        Great way to the the Great Salt Lake

        Stayed at Bridger Bay Sept 18-19 in one of the sites nearest the water. Great timing as there were virtually no bugs and the water was warm enough to paddle board. Lots of Bison and a Great Horned Owl spend an hour in a tree by our Bean Trailer. Hiking the beach was otherworldly and we will definitely return.

        Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

        Good option for families and water activities (can be busy)

        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, and spot 32 also seems to have a good view and the advantage of being on the outer edge so no backdoor neighbors. Park has a general store but we did not go inside. Bathrooms/showers are decent with sufficient hot water, but are not as nice as those at Wasatch Mtn. 

        Food aside: Had freeze-dried coconut curry chicken with extra packet of ready-to-eat Wal Mart chicken added and it was good. Also had chicken teriyaki with chicken packet added. Spiced both up with garlic powder.

        Food aside: Had freeze-dried coconut curry chicken with extra Wal Mart packet of chicken added and it was good and low FQ (fart quotient). Also had chicken teriyaki with chicken packet added. Always add garlic powder, perhaps smoked paprika.

        Sunrise on the beach!!!

        We tent camped on the beach and loved it all from the oolitic sand to the absolutely insane sunrise view from the window of the tent! On the north side you see the lake and the south side you see the Rio Tinto smelter it’s a really cool dynamic. We have enjoyed our stay

        Beware not a resort

        Beware the pretty pics don’t show how bad this place really is.. Ok they can’t help being situated right beside the freeway and the constant noise from it that makes it very unpleasant to sit outside and even the staff wear industrial earplugs at night. It’s the rest of it that’s really bad, from first meeting the arrogant manager he made it pretty clear that he wasn’t here to help or be nice. The laundry required quarters which they couldn’t provide, was told to download an app which he then told us rarely works on an iPhone. I’m not here to help too bad you don’t have quarters Ladies bathroom out of order Gardeners with industrial gas blowers and mowers started at 8am in the morning.. why couldn’t they schedule them for 11. But the rude manager said that’s just the way it is. Have stayed in many RV parks, usually with friendly people, this place is the worst. Also the other items that others have bought up, like parking right next to each other, the list goes on but our recommendation is don’t come here!!!

        Close to home, but noisy and buggy

        Campsite 148 We liked staying here because it's close to home and it is also close to gas stations and grocery stores. Our campsite had standing water right behind it so there were many, many mosquitoes! The traffic from the freeway was very loud and in the morning the trains would honk their horns waking everyone up. We will probably not stay again and just do day trips to the lake.

        Excellent forested campsite for a mid-week stay

        Stopped on a Sunday evening during a westbound cross country journey. Our 20’ van had no issues circling the road to find an open First-come-first-served spot, but would advise not much longer of a rig. We had to figure out the rules for finding and paying for an open spot, but it was all fine. This is a popular campground with many sites reserved far in advance, so last-minute FCFS openings on weekends may be rare.

        Absolutely Perfect

        We could not have asked for a more perfect spot. The views were immaculate, the sites were very spread out, it was the end of September and all the leaves were changing.

        No notes. Can’t recommend this spot enough.

        Got in around 945, nobody at the gate. Was and to have a choice of several spots for my campervan. Nothing with a killer view of the water, but I did have a nice view in the morning of the mountains. It was fine.

        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.

        Beautiful views of the lake. Hook ups were really easy to use for the trailer. Bugs were minimal. Bathrooms were very clean. You’ll check in when you enter the park and if you don’t have a reservation, they’ll assign you a spot at the gate and have you pay there.

        Beautiful, well maintained, one of our favs

        We found a FF site right by the creek, close to the cold canyon waterfall trail head. The water levels were high so the creek was running pretty fast which made it loud but honestly it drowned out any noise from neighbors a it was perfect. Love the hikes, love the shade, just an awesome camp site.

        Toilets flush! Just gotta bring a light

        Close enough to drive to town for anything you might have forgotten.

        Willow Creek — Willard Bay State Park

        Very busy but well maintained campground

        Follow the signs to the "new entrance" -- but it's well marked and well staffed.  The campgrounds are well marked, but we found that our site was actually accessible going the opposite direction from the signage. So we went around the loop but this would have put the utilities on the passenger side, not the driver side.  So we went back through the loop the opposite way (be careful of opposing traffic and there's limited space to maneuver, but this is the only way to properly access certain sites).  

        The picnic table had a gazebo over it, but it was occupied by wasps.  We weren't planning to use it anyway as this was only a stopover for us, but this is something to be aware of.  50amp service worked great which was important for both air conditioners to work on this 102 degree day!  

        Overall the camp ground was super quiet.  Keep in mind that there are no in/out privileges after 10pm.  If you leave, you may not be able to get back in and this is documented on the checkin documentation.  There is plenty of good grocery shopping for supplies located to the north and south (I went north).  Beautiful campground but the sun and heat are a little relentless so be prepared with good AC, shade/awnings and other cooling methods.

        True, free dispersed camping!

        Not very far from Brigham City at all. Easy to find and some roads are a little rough in the campgrounds. At least 30 established campsites with fire pits and lots of shade. A lot of hiking and star gazing available. No Services whatsoever except I have T-Mobile and I have great reception with the JeXstream mobile hotspot extender. No Creeks or water but a beautiful place if you bring everything you need. Didn't hear any shots but shooting is allowed, and you might encounter people on ATVs or staying up late partying but you live with what you can find!

        There are tons of free site all up and down the main road. The only problem is it is busy if you leave on Friday plan to get there by 3 at the latest. Spots fill quick.

        Skull Valley Rd Dispersed Camping

        (Along 196) Endless off road fun and private dispersed

        First of all there is no pull out at the coordinates. In fact it represents just as a reference for the highway road off the 80 highway you go along 196 and there are pull off roads leading to either straight up the side of a mountain or along the valley.

        I parked at lone rock which is basically just a shooting range. You name it they obliterated it with ammo. Oh well I climbed to the top of the lone rock which was pretty epic. Fucking windy night and dusty I hate dust so much. Maybe if I parked down road inside the sagebrush it would have broke the wind. Also lone rock was full of trash :(

        Glad I live in lush Colorado away from these deserts. Except alamoda area I guess.

        Really good with little bad

        Especially if you get here before sunset, you can hike a little ways up the mountain and watch the sun go down, but once it does start to go down it gets real windy. All the breeze from the salt flats comes right your way. This location is also right in an outdoor shooting range with multiple spots so that’s a plus if you’re looking for entertainment. As a bonus for me at least, it’s close enough to the road that getting back to it won’t be a problem, and I don’t think the noise will be a factor because the wind takes the cake. Dirt road is also real rough, probably not for sedans.
