    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.

    Downata Hot Springs

    Great place to stay in the winter

    Cold winter months and you need to get away? Wow we rented a cabin three times this last winter. Great little cabins with bathrooms the hot pools were 100 feet away and a heated swimming pool. In the summer time the pool is nice and cold and there are water slides. There is RV and tent sites as well as group sites and 3 small cabins, 3 medium cabins and three large cabins/houses. They also have several yurts. This year they also have covered wagons you can stay in(cute idea on a tent cabin). The staff is friendly and courteous. There is a small cafe and store. There is a restaurant that has a great sirloin dinner if you call ahead to make dinner reservations. Over all a great place to camp summer or winter.

    Rendezvous Beach — Bear Lake State Park

    A bit dry and windy, but not a bad place to stay

    We camped for three days here. The restroom was very clean (for a campground), although the stall door needed some repair. The paper towels were well-stocked, and the trash emptied daily. The fire pits are pretty solid and include a built-in grill. The area was free of litter. There was a golden eagle nest above us where eagles were flying to and from; this was quite the sight to see! If you want to camp at Bear Lake, this is a good spot. Electricity and water hookups are included at each campsite for those of you with RVs.

    Brigham City-Perry South KOA

    Packed like sardines but great management

    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, 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.

    Hyrum State Park Campground

    Great Free campsites

    I'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.

    South Fork (UT)

    Great place but book ahead!

    We 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!

    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.

    Caribou National Forest Emigration Campground

    Nice Forested Campground, But With Some Road Noise

    Stopped here overnight on a mid-weekday on the way from Great Basin National Park to Grand Teton National Park. Nice, forested campground. There's a camp host up front that has firewood for sale. (We didn't need any, so didn't interact with them.)

    My photos are from campsite #8. Many campsites were reserved for Thursday through Sunday, but no problem mid weekday to get a first come, first serve site in early July.

    Our site had enough flat areas for two 2+ dome dents. There was a little path to the bathrooms. Each bathroom had two stalls, but for COVID-19 times, one stall was closed off and there was a sign on the door saying that one person was allowed in the bathroom at a time. No showers.

    Water was across from our campsite. Each campsite has a table and fire pit. Some sites had little paths that went between them, so if you had multiple sites together, you could walk between them without going to the little road through the campground.

    Lots of four-wheelers around, but nothing too crazy. I believe this is a trailhead for winter sports (snowmobiling?). There was a little dirt road that went off from the campground that we didn't have time to explore. Not sure about hiking trails from the campground.

    The campers here were quiet and respectful, but there is road noise from the highway that runs sort of above the campground. Trucks use the highway and it's on a little bit of a grade, so you could definitely hear them. I wore earplugs and (even as a light sleeper) slept just fine. That's why I knocked a star off.

    No bear boxes, but bears didn't seem to be an issue. We just kept our food in the car. There were chipmunks around who could try to steal food if you left it out, just like with any campground. 

    Lots of summer flowers! Also lots of summer mosquitos, but that's expected.


Guide to Smithfield

Camping near Smithfield, Utah offers access to Logan Canyon's varied terrain at elevations ranging from 4,700 to 9,000 feet. The area experiences warm summer days with temperatures typically 75-85°F and cool nights that often drop below 50°F. Most campgrounds in the region open seasonally from late May through September due to heavy winter snowfall in the mountain areas.

What to do

Hiking to waterfalls: From Friendship Campground, explore the Richards Hollow trail to see a waterfall. "Just to the north of the campground is a trailhead for Richards Hollow where you can see a very pretty waterfall," notes Derek E.

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing: Winter visitors can access Green Canyon Yurt via a 3.8-mile groomed trail. "The trail is approximately 3.8 miles long with a steady incline most of the way. There are a few spots with decent little Hills," shares Steven E.

Wildlife viewing: Sunrise Campground offers opportunities to spot local fauna. "The grounds are beautiful, the host is kind, it is so quiet, and there was a lot of wildlife," reports Heather K.

What campers like

Private wooded sites: Sunrise Campground receives praise for its natural setting. "Loved how wooded and private it seemed. Short drive into town or access water. In my opinion, the drive is worth it as this is way more peaceful than any area campground," writes one camper.

Lake views: Campers appreciate special vantage points. "There is a very short trail in the back of the campsite between 2 bathrooms where you can see the sun rise over Bear Lake. I'd camp here just for that," shares Michelle H.

Clean facilities: Traveland RV Park maintains well-kept grounds. "The sites are super nice and level, and have great grass area to relax in," says Jason S., who also noted it was "clean and simple."

Stargazing opportunities: At Bunchgrass Yurt, one visitor mentioned it's a "Great spot to see stars at night!" This area's higher elevation and distance from city lights creates ideal conditions for night sky viewing.

What you should know

Seasonal limitations: Many campgrounds have specific operating seasons. "Sunrise CG sits above Bear Lake. The sites are pretty spacious, heavily wooded with good shade," notes Pat S., adding "This CG can accommodate walk in tent camping to RVs."

Road conditions: Some access roads present challenges. At Spring Hollow Campground, campers should be prepared for the environment: "We also found a rattlesnake next to the bathroom," warns one visitor.

Reservation requirements: Certain yurts must be reserved well in advance. For glamping near Smithfield, Utah, these accommodations fill quickly, especially during winter months when cross-country skiing is popular.

Varying amenities: Facilities differ widely between campgrounds. "The spring was fun for the kids to play in. There was a small dam at the bottom where the kids could swim and kayak," shares a visitor about Spring Hollow.

Tips for camping with families

Water play options: Hyrum State Park Campground offers excellent beach access. "The beach is close you can cook and play, drive your food and gear down to the water... The showers are awesome lots of trees and good grass in the campground," notes Nathan B.

Kid-friendly features: Look for campgrounds with natural features children enjoy. "The spring was fun for the kids to play in. There was a small dam at the bottom where the kids could swim and kayak," mentions Maybo H. about Spring Hollow.

Spacious sites for play: Some campgrounds offer room for activities. "Family Camping at Spring Hollow... Very green, lush, and beautiful. Great for tent camping, but not all sites can fit a camper. So make sure you pick the right site for your needs. The river running through the camp is also awesome," advises Adam P.

Safety considerations: Be aware of wildlife and changing conditions. "We also found a rattlesnake next to the bathroom," warns one camper at Spring Hollow, highlighting the importance of teaching children about outdoor safety.

Tips from RVers

Site accessibility: Bridger Campground provides good options for various rigs. "Great trails and a beautiful river. The double site in the back is my favorite (except the abandoned camper across the road). Very wooded. Campsites have firepit and picnic tables. Water source but no water hookups," shares one RVer.

Length restrictions: Certain areas have limitations for larger vehicles. "Have camped here for years. The road in the campground is tight on some corners for longer rigs. A lot of spots are difficult to back into with a trailer. Small trailers and tents will work best up here," advises Jeni about Tony Grove Campground.

Gate closure times: Some parks restrict after-hours access. At Hyrum State Park, "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," warns Sandra W.

Hookup availability: RV amenities vary significantly between campgrounds. "Hyrum 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... 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," explains Brenda L.
