What to do
Lakeside recreation: Bridger Bay Campground provides waterfront cabin experiences with wildlife viewing opportunities. "Beautiful island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. The bison are free grazing all around and a few came right up to our campground in the early morning," notes Steven M.
Winter camping: Maples Campground offers snow season cabin access for cold-weather adventurers. "Short hike in for winter camping, leaving out of Snowbasin Maples Lot. Snowshoes or touring setup will make it easier over just boots, especially as the snowpack deepens," advises Klay L.
Waterfall hiking: Cabins at North Fork County Park provide access to natural features within walking distance. "There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park. It's a must," explains Debbie P.
What campers like
Spacious sites: North Fork County Park cabins offer larger footprints than many competitors. "Each of the sites seem to have plenty of space for any time of camping you do, and are well tended in between seasons and visitors. And even with the ample size of each site, you don't feel like you're in your neighbor's lap," reports Dave D.
Sunset views: Willard Bay State Park cabins provide notable evening scenery. "Location at the foot of the mountain provides amazing views and panoramic vistas. The staff is amazing and polite and helpful. Well maintained camp," explains Robert S.
Family amenities: Brigham City-Perry South KOA cabins include additional conveniences for families with children. "We had a delightful stay over Memorial Day weekend. Our kids had a blast swimming, playing at the playground and then spending time in the arcade," shares Kristan J.
What you should know
Gate closure times: Hyrum State Park Campground operates with restricted overnight access. "It is totally fenced and gated. The gates close at 10pm and open at 6am. Very peaceful and enjoyable!" explains Brenda L.
Bug preparedness: Mosquitoes affect several cabin locations during summer months. "Stayed for Memorial Day weekend in the cottonwood campground. With citronella candles, bug sprays and bug deterrent bracelets, the mosquitoes and other bugs were relentless," warns Rara B.
Site selection: Cabin locations vary significantly in privacy levels. "We've camped all over in North Fork sites! Our family has our anual family reunion in Mustang Flats every summer, CW8 & CW9 are great for 5 families because they're connected by a little road," advises Fale L.
Tips for camping with families
Cabin alternatives: Willard Bay State Park offers both cabin and traditional camping options. "Great State Park. 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," notes Erin A.
Swimming access: Several cabin locations provide water recreation for children. "This campground is right next to the I-15, and a set of train tracks that seem to see daily use. We didn't lose any sleep from noise, though, with our AC running at night, and during the day, the freeway was like white noise. There's a nature trail through the grounds, a nice playground, and a 5 min walk to the beach," reports Rara B.
Campground layouts: Cabin sites vary in their proximity to facilities. "Checked out the bathrooms/showers…seen better but not terrible. Also there is lots of noise from the highway and railroad which we don't mind but light sleepers may want another option," advises Erin A.
Tips from RVers
Overnight stops: Century RV Park provides cabin options for travelers needing quick accommodations. "No frills (they do have a pool) RV Park right next to the I-15 freeway in Ogden. Great desk staff. Good prices. Great option if you just need an overnight. They will leave a very informative packet for you if you arrive after hours," explains David B.
Utility positioning: RV sites with cabins have varying hookup placements. "The utilities were in the perfect position for an RV towing a car. The front desk was super friendly and gives popcorn every day. Very walkable park and safe," shares Sandra V.
Highway proximity: Noise levels affect some cabin locations more than others. "Our biggest complaint about this park was the minimal distance between sites. It does have close proximity to a lot of what Ogden offers. Concrete pads were nice, but were a couple dollars more than gravel sites," notes Rachel H.
