Northern Utah RV parks near Eden provide convenient bases for exploring the Wasatch Mountains at elevations around 5,000 feet, with sites available year-round despite seasonal variations in services. Many RV parks in this region feature river access, with the Weber River running through several properties. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer highs reaching 90°F while winter temperatures can drop well below freezing.
What to do
Riverside walking trails: Access trails directly from Riverside RV Resort where "There is a walking trail that runs along the Weber river and a dog run on the eastern part of the property," according to a visitor. The trails offer opportunities for peaceful nature walks with minimal elevation gain.
Fishing opportunities: Weber River provides accessible fishing spots for all skill levels. "River and walking trail just steps away from all sites," notes a Riverside RV Resort camper. The shallow water is particularly suitable for wade fishing during summer months.
Mountain biking: Find nearby trailheads within short driving distance. "There is a trailhead right down the road that is along the Weber River. Mountain bike or hike, you will have a good time," shares a visitor to Riverside RV Resort.
Amusement park access: Lagoon RV Park & Campground provides direct park access. "It has a walking path to the amusement park and another just back around the park," notes one camper. The proximity allows easy entrance to the park rides and attractions without moving vehicles.
What campers like
Security features: Gated facilities provide peace of mind for travelers. "Gated entry is a plus for me, and the staff is so kind and welcoming," mentions one camper at Riverside RV Resort. Another visitor at Love's RV Stop noted, "Was surprised at how open and clean everything is. Nice and quiet."
Clean facilities: Showers and bathrooms are consistently maintained. At Valley View RV Resort, a visitor mentioned, "Nice RV Resort with many amenities including pool, hot tub, outdoor fire pit, pickleball courts. Friendly staff." The cleanliness extends to common areas and recreation facilities.
Concrete pads: Level sites make setup easier for RVs of all sizes. "The sites are level, paved, and VERY long & level—with a strip of grass and some rock gravel," mentioned one reviewer about Riverside RV Resort. Sites typically include a small grass area for outdoor seating.
Pool access: Swimming options during hot summer months. "We had a blast enjoying the pool and doggy areas," notes a Valley View RV Resort camper. Many facilities maintain heated pools for comfortable swimming even during cooler evenings.
What you should know
Highway noise: Proximity to I-15 and other highways affects sound levels. "The interstate is 20 yards from the first row of sites. It was constant traffic noise 24/7," warns a Riverside RV Resort visitor. Another camper at Echo Island RV Resort mentioned, "The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is due to the highway noise, but that made it convenient."
Aircraft sounds: Hill Air Force Base operations create occasional noise. "Noisy jet air planes during the day on and off but very cool to see," notes a Riverside RV Resort camper. Flight patterns vary by day and season.
Limited shade: Newer parks often lack mature trees. "There are zero shade trees and the majority of the sites face south so there is no shade on the camp side of your camper in the afternoon or evening," observed one Riverside RV visitor during summer months.
Site spacing varies: Some parks offer more privacy than others. "The sites are well spaced apart giving plenty of privacy," notes a reviewer, while others mention "tight, cramped spots" at different facilities.
Tips for camping with families
Dog-friendly areas: Most RV parks include pet facilities. Century RV Park offers "a pleasant little store and the big dog park was a welcome surprise." Dedicated pet areas help keep camping areas clean and provide space for dogs to exercise.
Playground access: Several parks maintain equipment for children. "The playground is clean, a good sized one, but overrun with unsupervised kids," notes one candid reviewer. Morning hours typically offer less crowded play times.
Swimming options: Pools provide recreation during hot days. "Clean place, lots of amenities, and great staff," mentioned a Century RV Park visitor. Most pools operate seasonally from late spring through early fall.
Game facilities: On-site recreation enhances family stays. "Giant chessboard. Nice pool area. Amazing clubhouse with pool table, foosball, large TV, comfy chairs, guest kitchen area," observed a reviewer at Pony Express RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Long pull-throughs: Many parks accommodate large rigs without unhitching. "Sites are asphalt and VERY long & level—with a strip of grass and some rock gravel," notes a visitor to Riverside RV Resort. This feature proves especially valuable for overnight stays.
Reservation timing: Summer months require advance planning. "We booked our site under an hour before showing up," shared one lucky Riverside RV camper, but this is uncommon during peak season when many parks reach full capacity.
Afterhours check-in: Late arrivals have streamlined processes at most parks. "They will leave a very informative packet for you if you arrive after hours," shares a Century RV Park reviewer. Look for instructions posted near the office entrance.
50-amp availability: Higher power options exist for larger RVs with multiple air conditioning units. "Aspen Grove RV Park accommodates big rigs with level, spacious sites and 50 amp service," notes a visitor. Most parks offer both 30 and 50 amp connections.
