Woodruff Narrows Public Access Area offers dispersed camping around a reservoir with pet-friendly policies throughout the grounds. Dogs are welcome at this Wyoming site where campers find spacious, open areas with enough room for pets to play.

Monte Cristo Campground provides another pet-friendly option with more developed facilities including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. Sites at Monte Cristo are set among aspen and pine trees offering good privacy for campers with pets. Several sites feature secluded spots set back from the road with room for multiple tents, making them ideal for families camping with dogs.

The area features several established fire pits at dispersed sites, though fire restrictions may apply seasonally. During summer months, sites at higher elevations like Monte Cristo (8,700 ft) provide relief from valley heat with temperatures in the 60s during day and 40s overnight—comfortable conditions for most dog breeds. Wildlife sightings are common in the area, requiring pet owners to keep dogs leashed or under voice control to prevent chasing elk or other animals.

ScoutIt is a lovely place. Nice patch of grass at the site. River and walking trail just steps away from all sites. Would be nice if the dog park was finished. There are other amenities that are planned to be available, but are not available yet. It is a very pretty place with the mountain backdrop. Lovely sunrises and sunsets. Beautiful.
TravelerThe place was nice and new. There is a dog park area and access to a trail which runs along the river. There is a lot of noise from the interstate and the nearby Air Force base. The only issue we had was that the street lights in the resort were super bright at night. We're glad there wasn't one above our spot!
GuideThis was a top notch camp ground. They are going through a major upgrade. Many tiny homes, spots with private hot tubs and fenced in yards, great of you have a dog!! Nice grass dog park. ACS hardware and a full grocery store next door.
ScoutClean restrooms and showers good wifi with a pleasant little store and the big dog park was a welcome surprise. Loved it ,only problem was the tight cramped spots.
GuideI had never been to a KOA campground before but we were driving cross country and were tired. For $43 for a tent site we got a nice patch of grass and a fire pit. It’s clean and comfortable, but definitely a busy place. You are right next to your neighbor but they do try and put you in every-other site for space. Great bathroom facilities, dog park, amenities.
It really depends on what you like. We are tent campers that like forest service campgrounds so this is too busy for us. But a nice spot.
GuideThe town has a lot of history and you can tour all the old building from the fort. The rv park itself was quite with very clean facilities. Only wish they could add a dog park and kids play area (they have the room).
TravelerPrivate RV secured area with Rv laundry and shower facilities. Private fenced in dog parks in RV area separate from gas station. Showers are included in price of stay. Quiet area which is perfect. Back in and pull through available. Good hook up’s
Totally worth the money. Safe and secure.
GuideFrom the moment we pulled in we could just tell this was a fun family environment. Our kids loved it! The pool area is amazing. The store was well stocked. And the staff were all extremely helpful and friendly.
We are really big rig, so you have to be careful what site you pick if you’re super sized like we are, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The only reason it didn’t get five stars from me is due to the dirt road (people drive fast and kicked up dust all the time), and there was no fenced in dog park.
GuidePerhaps a little too close to the university in Logan Utah it was busy that Friday night. I think all the spots filled by 7pm some 50 people there that night. There is close spots for small couples and large groups and also more private spacious spots for people with pets like me
Dispersed camping opportunities near Woodruff, Utah provide access to high-elevation terrain between 7,000-9,000 feet. The area experiences significant temperature fluctuations with summer daytime highs in the 70s often dropping into the 40s overnight. Camping options range from reservoir-adjacent sites with minimal amenities to more developed forest service campgrounds throughout the Wasatch-Cache National Forest region.
Fishing at Causey Reservoir: Located near Weber Memorial Park, the reservoir offers shoreline fishing access. "Great camping for tents or RVs. Large group sites, open and semi-secluded, has a creek running through the campground and some decent hiking nearby. Close to reservoir for more recreation," notes Nick T.
Hiking local trails: The Monte Cristo area features several trails suitable for day hikes. Paths wind through aspen and pine forests with moderate elevation changes. "The campground is surrounded by majestic Aspen, Pine and other trees. There are also easily accessible hiking trails connecting from the campground," reports Steven M. from his stay at Monte Cristo.
Wildlife observation: Early mornings and evenings provide opportunities to spot local wildlife. "I could hear owls hooting at night and elk bugling in the morning. It was fantastic!" shares Meghan M. about her experience in the area.
Secluded camping spots: Many dispersed sites around Monte Cristo offer privacy from neighboring campers. "We came during a week day and the whole site was empty! Very quiet, very pretty, and very colorful. There were only two or maybe three spots total, so get here early," advises Karson M. about dispersed camping near Monte Cristo.
Temperature relief: Higher elevation sites provide comfortable summer temperatures. "The temp was 76 when we got there and it was the right day to get out of the heat and relax. No insects, no cell service, and lots of shade," says Carlisle B. about his day visit to the Monte Cristo area.
Lake access: Waterfront camping at Woodruff Narrows offers direct water access. "Great campsites next to the lake. Excellent views and quiet. Only saw a couple other campers off in the distance. Lots of birds and ducks to watch," reports Clayton P. after staying at Woodruff Narrows Public Access Area.
Site availability: Popular spots fill quickly during summer weekends. "There are tons of free site all up and down the main road. The only problem is it is busy if you leave on Friday plan to get there by 3 at the latest. Spots fill quick," warns Bryce R.
Road conditions: Access roads to dispersed sites vary in quality. "Road in is unpaved in fair to poor condition. Quiet and peaceful though," notes Stuart K. about his experience at Woodruff Narrows.
Weather preparedness: Mountain weather changes rapidly. Pack for both warm days and cold nights. "The sites are spread out nicely apart where everyone can recreate their own way. The campground is around 8700' elevation so the days were in the upper 60's and the overnights were in the lower 40's," explains Steven M. from his stay at Curtis Creek / Arbs Basin.
River access spots: Sites along South Fork Ogden River provide water play opportunities. "We camped here in July, I definitely recommend going beforehand to scope out which site you would like best and reserve it online because this place gets all booked up! Close to the river and nice roomy site with a table and fire pit," suggests Ashley K. about South Fork.
Dog friendly campgrounds near Woodruff: Several campgrounds welcome pets but require proper control. "Very peaceful along the water. Clean bathrooms. Because of the regulations I wasn't able to make a fire and had to stay overnight at the designated camp spot but I would definitely recommend this spot," shares Caitlyn R. about her experience with pet-friendly camping at Woodruff Narrows.
Insect protection: Some waterfront areas experience heavy insect activity during summer months. "Beautiful views but insanely buggy this time of year. Couldn't open my vehicle doors for a second or they flooded in," warns Matt about his experience at Woodruff Narrows Bear Riverside.
Size restrictions: Most dispersed sites accommodate smaller RVs better than large rigs. "Very private boondocking area about 10 miles off the highway. Wide open area; fairly level in the campsites we saw. The road is okay if you go slowly; we came in with our 31' class A pulling a 12' box trailer," shares Sherry N.
Leveling requirements: Many sites require additional leveling blocks. "About 1/4 mile down a dirt road from Hwy 39 is a good single boondocking spot with a great view. Not for large RVs. Our 17 ft trailer with 4x4 was tricky to get into the spot because the loop was so small," notes Brian C. about dispersed camping near Monte Cristo.
Site selection for pet owners: For those traveling with dogs, look for campgrounds with adequate space. "Gorgeous location right next to the lake. It was very quiet and open. We were the only campers there! No shade or amenities where we stayed. There was lots of room to play around with the dog," explains Kate M. about her pet-friendly experience at Woodruff Narrows.
