Located in Davis County between the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Mountains, the area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and cold winters that often drop below freezing.

What to do
Hike to waterfalls: North Fork County Park offers access to waterfall trails within walking distance of cabin sites. "There's a short waterfall hike, but also a long hike that will take you up to Ben Lomond Peak & cut across to Willard Peak. Go when there's no smoke and you'll have breathtaking views," notes a visitor at North Fork County Park.
Wildlife viewing: Antelope Island State Park cabins provide opportunities to observe bison and other wildlife. "An amazing place to kick back, relax, and hangout with bison. They walk up and graze through the campsites which is a beautiful thing to wake up to," reports a camper at Bridger Bay Campground.
Water recreation: Cabin sites at Willard Bay provide easy lake access for swimming, fishing and boating. "We rode bikes and paddle boarded. Gets extremely busy on weekends but nice and quiet on the weekdays," explains a visitor who stayed at Anderson Cove.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Cabins at Willard Bay offer covered picnic areas. "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 a camper at Cottonwood Campground.
Mountain views: Many cabin locations feature views of the Wasatch Range. "Location at the foot of the mountain provides amazing views and panoramic vistas. The staff is amazing and polite and helpful," according to a visitor at Brigham City-Perry South KOA.
Dark skies: Several cabin locations outside city limits offer exceptional stargazing. "I've never seen so many shooting stars before. The sites were plenty big, each had a fire pit and picnic table and were close to legit toilets," shares a North Fork County Park visitor.
What you should know
Seasonal bug issues: Several sites report significant insect activity during warm months. "The positives: a beautiful remote spot with huge spaces between campsites. Gorgeous views of the Great Salt Lake. The mosquitoes here. We were out at dusk locking our bikes and were swarmed by them!" warns a visitor at Bridger Bay.
Road noise: Cabin sites near I-15 experience constant traffic sound. "As sun went down the mosquitos started to swarm and chased us inside. Middle of the night a skunk visited our campsite and hung around for quite a while. Traffic noise from I-15 was excessive," reports a camper at Cottonwood Campground.
Reservation timing: Many cabin locations fill quickly during summer. "You need to reserve sites here well in advance as it fills up for the entire Summer as soon as the reservation window opens. It is very clean and well maintained!" advises an Anderson Cove visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Beach access: Cabins near Willard Bay provide swimming opportunities. "There was a lot of space to be spread out from others. The beach is so large and it's easy to camp out. The sand is soft and fun for the kids to build sand castles," describes a visitor at Anderson Cove.

Tips from RVers
Check site spacing: RV cabins vary significantly in surrounding space. "Very nice car camping sites with amazing views of the lake. Not much privacy because there aren't a lot of trees, but the sites are spread out," mentions a Bridger Bay visitor.
Service availability: Many cabin sites provide Wi-Fi but quality varies by location. "Clean place, lots of amenities, and great staff. Price is competitive for this area. Only down side is the exhaust from highway traffic can get a bit strong," reports a Century RV Park visitor.
Winter utility limits: Some cabin facilities reduce services in colder months. "Convenient and reasonable. They closed the swimming pool and spa for the winter. The shower was clean," notes a Century RV Park camper about winter cabin stays.
