Best Tent Camping near Syracuse, UT

Nice campground with plenty of group and individual sites. They have single, double, and group campgrounds. I camped in a tent spot (48) and had a ton of privacy.

No first come first sites, however, 4 days before all sites become fcfs if not taken.

Nice flush toilet bathroom. Gates close at 10 pm

Great place for tent camping

Great back in tent site. Big enough to accommodate out little guy silver shadow with 50/30/20 amp hookups.

I’ve been to a couple campground over the years, but this one is impressive. Perfect for tent camping and even tho your near kther people you feel hidden. 10/10

(& have recommended!) The staff here was incredibly nice and accommodating. We tent camped right on the river and had a fire in the firepit! Easy access to VERY clean/nice restrooms. We would camp here again!

Beautiful campground, lots of trees and privacy. However, you can’t bring big rigs there only smaller trailers or tent camping. Very close to Tibble Fork Reservoir where there’s great fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. You can swim too, but the water is pretty cold.

Gorgeous drive up to a gorgeous campground. Our site was pretty small. I would not recommend camping here unless you have an RV with a bathroom. There were so many flies in the bathroom that they coated the walls. Since I was tent camping, I did not bother to unpack. It was horrific.

Hot tub! POOL! This place is amazing. I recommend the lower spots, G and H or tent campsites as they are farther from the road. There’s a nice creek down there and still close bathrooms with shower.

New, clean, pretty campground. Some things to know:

1. All the sites are RV sites. There are currently no tent sites. Plenty of room to put up a tent, which we did.
2. I 80 is across the lake and you will hear trucks at night.
3. Crazy amount of bugs. No mosquitoes as others have reported, just lake bugs that like your lights.

We LOVED Little Mill! It’s the perfect campground. It has the smell of pine trees, a babbling brook, and it is just down the road from Timpanogos Cave National Monument. What more could a camper want?

We had a great tent site that was on the side near the mountain and across from us were campsites next to the road and the river. We did not hear any road noise at all, just the sound of wind in the trees and the water flowing. It was so peaceful!

The tents sites are along side the busy road so it got pretty noisy. But there is an amazing Mexican restaurant right next to the campground.

Everyone here was so nice and the staff was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating. Good spacing between tent sites, and they were spacious. It’s set up in a loop with all the amenities right in the middle so no matter where your spot is you’re just a tiny stroll away. Heated pool when it’s in season, and they seem to host a lot of fun events! I missed the ice cream social sadly. They also have air hockey and a ping pong table in the office building. This was my favourite KOA so far!

Note: Bring bug spray! I got bit a fair amount by mosquitoes.

Really loved staying here. We spent 4 days—between Thursday to Sunday—with full hookups at site 38. We were greeted pretty promptly by one of the camp hosts who maintains the campground. The camp hosts were super nice and helpful and it was evident that they really cared for the campground.

This campground sits right in the south bank of Weber river and there are a few short trails you could take to walk around the river, fish, or swim.

To get to this campground, we used Apple Maps and it was listed under “Riverbridge RV Park.” You’ll drive over a narrow bridge and there are three rows of RV sites with full hookups. Beyond the RV sites are a grassy area with a bunch of giant trees for tent camping, although a few people used this area for dry camping in their RVs.

We stayed here in a 29ft pull behind and there were several rigs larger than us. Would definitely stay here again for a weekend in Morgan.

We were road tripping through with no reservations. The whole South Fork area has many campgrounds. Magpie is the first and one of the smaller of the campgrounds as you drive up the canyon. We drove through all the campgrounds and didn’t find any hosts to talk with to find out if we could occupy a spot. We thought it would be ok but weren’t sure if we could stay in a spot that had a weekend reservation posted. Plus there was simultaneously not very much shade and lots of overgrown vegetation that made tent camping not very feasible. All the sites with actual river frontage were occupied and most folks had campers. This was especially true at South Fork, Lower Meadows, Upper Meadows & Perception Park campgrounds. We finally found a host at Willows campground who explained the process but we didn’t see any sites we liked there. Magpie actually had some shaded sites so we headed back down there. We grabbed a spot that had no obvious river access but good shade right next to the host site. It was pretty overgrown but had enough of a flat spot to set up our tent and a big concrete pad for the picnic table and huge fire ring. Midweek it was only half full. Campground is literally mere feet from the road. Lots of road noise. Bathrooms were good enough. The host when he finally came around was very nice. The adjacent site was vacant (a double site that cost more $$) and we were able to get to the river there. We stayed two nights mid week and it never filled up but all the sites had weekend reservations. There isn’t a lot of hiking but if you like river recreation or we saw lots of paddle boarders headed up to the reservoir. We drove up Monte Cristo which was still closed for the season but probably would have been more our style. Birding was good around the campground probably due to the river. Again, road noise was annoying but expected. Also note that the forest service’s website was out of date as far as all the campgrounds in this area being open.
