Best Cabin Camping near Willard, UT

Beautiful setting on two small rivers with shade. Full hookups, spacious sites. Nice pool and hot tub. Clear view to south for satellite TV.

Smaller than the Lake Side KOA in town, but guest have access to facilities at both locations. Really appreciated the quiet location. Cabins are new with TV (local channels only), microwave and refrigerator.

Beautiful park, awesome animals. TERRIBLE FLIES. We had no idea there was little flies that could bite like a bee sting, but there was. And we couldn’t get away from them. This was a trip we left phones at home and just wanted to get away, but we flew over it on the way in. There’s so many trails here and we so many bison it was awesome to see, a mini Yellowstone with sub par “campgrounds” which made us feel like we were still in the city due to them having concrete and artificial sun shades which was necessary.

Like most KOA's this place has a ton of amenities and things to keep you comfortable all without leaving the property!  There's a swimming pool, playground, and doggy walking kennel.  There is also a small store inside the office building and a couple amp selections for RV and trailer hookups.  Also included is the standard Wi-fi and water hook up.  

This campground is pretty easy to access from the interstate and requires only 3 right turns and a couple miles.  Nearby is the Migratory Bird Refuge and Willard Bay State Park which also has a couple options for camping.  In the opposite direction of the Great Salt Lake lies the Northern Wasatch Mountains with plenty of canyons to cool off in during those hot days in the valley

We went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.

Can be loud at night on the weekends. Lots of late arrivals due to proximity to the freeway (just my guess, but seems like the late arrivals only stayed a few hours). The state park offers boat, jetski, and other watercraft rentals, so this is a great spot to go if you like power sports on the water! It was peaceful in the early hours of the morning, but once the waterskiing starts up, the noise can be distracting. If you're looking for peace and solitude, look elsewhere! However, if you need the convenience of the location, it serves that purpose quite well!

This was a nice spot tucked away from the interstate but not super far. Clean restrooms, nice staff. Stayed here twice on our trip to Moab. Plan on staying again on other trips to southern Utah

This park is a great stopover on your way through Utah or weekend visit. The lake is clean and still very natural. The swans circling the water are something to see. Lots of shade rustic but serviceable showed. A bit pricy at 30 a night but right off the highway and no real traffic noise.

We traveled to Utah from California for our annual Christmas camping adventure. This was our first spot, and it was a wonderful place to start. We don’t have to worry about the bugs, being it’s December. There were a few other campers, but there were a few others.

By far one of my favorite stops through Utah ❤️ absolutely breathtaking views, along with scenic routes to see wildlife such as the bison. They had selective campground area sectioned off near the Bay Area, and also group camping spots that where much larger and secluded near the Bay Area as well.

One of our favorite state parks in Utah is only~45 minutes away from Salt Lake City! There are bison, antelope, deer, and many other animals that call this island home. On the west side of the island are extensive muds flats that give you one of the best sunset views in Utah. One of our favorite things to do on the island is hike Frary Peak which is the high point of the island. The top portion of the hike is a rocky scramble, but there are plenty of side trails to beautiful viewpoints during the hike. 

As for the best season to visit the island, we are partial to winter due to the absolute lack of bugs and stunning contrast of the bison on fresh snow. Our 2nd favorite season is early spring before the bugs come out in full swarm! I wouldn't recommend visiting in late spring or summer as there are swarms of all kinds of biting bugs and the temps can be unbearable.

Overall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups. 

 All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.

A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

We did not have reservations and with two long back to back travel days heading home, we needed an easy place to land close to the interstate.  $60 for one night electric and water which we did not need for our teardrop, but all sites were the same price which included park fees.  

Very nice staff and host found us a spot with which even had a limited view of the lake.  Site was brand new with pull through that would easily accommodate a larger rig.  Had a nice pavilion type cover over the picnic table, fire ring, and restrooms and showers were new in the section we were staying in.   

As sun went down the mosquitos started to swarm and chased us inside.  Haven't experienced that level of bugginess outside of several of the swamps we camped at in the southeast.  Middle of the night a skunk visited our campsite and hung around for quite a while.  Traffic noise from I-15 was excessive.   

Don't let the pictures fool you.  Views were ok in most directions but what I did not show was the large commercial storage yard used by the park service which was directly next door to our campsite.  Fee's should have been much lower given the location but we did not have reservations and were fortunate to get a site.  

If camping in a traditional RV this is an ok option, and it is cheaper than some of the commercial campgrounds nearby.  Would stay here again if we needed an easy overnight stopover as the location is terrific.

This a an awesome camp spot that is right off of I-15 but feels like you are out in the wilderness. In the summer there are lots of bugs so bring bug spray. Pet friendly with a nice beach for the kids. lots of trees so you don't really hear I-15 noise. Full hook ups for trailers and nice tent spots. Bathrooms with running water and fish cleaning stations are really nice. Lots of picnic tables and pavilions to get some shade. Make sure you bring your boat and fishing gear. The whipper fishing can be fun.

Stayed here a few nights and it was unbelievably loud.. Tons of road noise from the highway and an early train comes through every morning. Nothing worth seeing here. If you have a boat it may be fun but not for just camping.

The two main campgrounds on North Marina have options for everyone. Need full hookups with plenty of pull throughs? Choose Cottonwood! Want to do it primative? Right around the corner is Willow! Both are pet friendly and fun for the doggos. Beautiful nature reserve with wild birds of all types. Everything within walking to the reservoir. No wake beach for water sports right down the way from the docks. Bring your bug spray! You'll get eaten alive if you aren't careful.

I love this spot I will definitely be coming back. Spacious and cheap.

We’ve stayed here three times and each about the same. Full hook ups were nice. Clean bathrooms with free showers were a plus. The only downside was road noise from the nearby freeway and lots of bugs, probably due to the lake. But for a travel through stopover it was fine.

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.
