    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful spot for overnight

    Stopped here for a scenic spot to relax for the day and overnight.
    Nice level asphalt spots. Beautiful view of the lake. Saw bison and antelope driving in the park

    Middle Fork Conservation Area

    Great spot!

    My family and I were driving through and needed a place to stay for the night. We camped the first night that lot camping was allowed (9/10) so it was quiet and peaceful. It is down a dirt road in a valley surrounded by cattle and deer and elk. Beautiful sunset and moonrise. A local ranger came by to chat and told us it can get busy with local homeless people and drug users, just FYI. But overall we felt completely safe and our neighbors were nice and friendly!

    Big crowded TV park

    It really depends on what you are looking for, if you to be in the city and don’t mind confined campgrounds then this is for you. Showers, laundry, pool, hot tub and store.

    Pony Express RV Resort

    Nice compact

    Like others have said…if you want space to spread out this is not the place for you.

    If you’re looking for a place that is convenient, full hook up, level concrete pads, subdivision desperate house wife’s camping addition this is the place to be!

    100.00 per night is high, in my opinion. For one adult and a cocker who doesn’t make a sound. Rare I know.

    Like many other places who advertise free wifi might as well plan on using your phone or star link or whatever you may have.

    If I planned on staying for a few months I would consider staying here. Only if they had a hefty monthly discounted rate. I think the state parks would be a better option for a one or two night stay.

    Hailstone - Wasatch Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Terrible spot, Sewer smell all night and Bad Camp Host

    We stayed here on the night of Aug 22, 2025. Wasatch loop site 97.   My wife and I were riding a charity bike ride with the national ability center on the 23rd.   The ride started at 8:30 and would take us around 2.5 hours.  Knowing this, I asked the camp host if I could check out at 1pm instead of noon.  He agreed.  We woke up in the morning, did our ride, and when we came back to our site at 12:25. The camp host then drove up in his ranger and asked us why we hadn't left yet. I had told him we had an agreement that we would leave at 1pm and he completely forgot the conversation.  He told me the next occupant was here already (Check in was at 3pm) and needed the spot.  I told him I'd be out right away, which is what we did.  We left the camp spot around 12:40. I then received several calls from the state park asking me to remove my trailer after I had already left. 

    Besides the terrible interaction with the the camp host, the site smelled like sewer all night as it's about 300 ft away from the dump station.  If you're in a tent or a small camper trailer there's no getting away from the smell. 

    I think Jordanelle is great state park!  I'd love to come back, but I won't stay in the Wasatch loop again…

    Albion Basin

    Great escape from the valley

    This site books out almost instantly at the beginning of the season, so sites generally only come available when there is a cancellation. This year, the camp hosts are the single greatest I’ve ever seen. The fire pits are clean, tent sites are raked it appears, and the pit toilets are deodorized, decorated and scented candles are lit at night.

    Construction or fire management, not sure which, removed a lot of trees from some of the sites, leaving them very barren, seems to only be 2 or 3, not sure of the site numbers

    Location wise, the site is at 9400 ft so the temps are usually 20 degrees cooler than the city. Several trailheads to alpine lakes are in or near the trailhead. There is a small supply shack near the gate where you can get an ice cream after a hike.
