Campers visiting Woodruff, Utah have access to several RV parks within driving distance across northern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. The area sits at approximately 6,400 feet elevation, creating distinct summer and winter camping conditions. Weather can change rapidly at this elevation, with temperature swings of 30-40 degrees possible between day and night even in summer months.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Echo Island RV Resort, visitors can access two small rivers with shade. "My family and I have been coming here for years. It has a lot of trailer spots that are almost all pull throughs and have hook ups. It's fun to bring kayaks and float the river," notes one regular visitor.
Historical exploration: Visit the nearby Fort Bridger State Historic Site, just 2 miles from Fort Bridger RV Camp. "The quirky little town of Fort Bridger is a block away, with a small convenience and liquor store. There's also a park, but I didn't check it out," shares a camper who enjoyed the proximity to local history.
Fossil hunting: The hills surrounding Kemmerer contain abundant fossils, with Fossil Butte National Monument only 11 miles from town. A visitor at Riverside RV Park noted, "If you like to hunt for fossils, the surrounding hills are full of them. Fossil Butte National Monument is just 11 miles from town."
What campers like
Mountain views: The backdrop of mountains creates scenic camping experiences. "It is a very pretty place with the mountain backdrop. Lovely sunrises and sunsets," reports a visitor to Riverside RV Resort in Utah.
Outdoor recreation: Bear Lake access attracts many campers. "This campground seems like it is one of the closer campgrounds to the water. It's pet-friendly, has full hookups, picnic tables, and wifi. The nice thing about this campground is it does have a beach as well as water/lake access," explains a visitor to Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah.
River access: Several campgrounds feature riverside locations with recreational opportunities. "There's a walking trail that runs along the Weber river and a dog run on the eastern part of the property," notes a camper about Riverside RV Resort in Utah.
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Many RV parks in the Woodruff region have limited seasonal availability. Fort Bridger RV Camp operates with flexible hours but closes early, as one camper discovered: "Since it's only an hour from home, this place may become our go-to for short stays and the occasional long stay."
Cell service variations: Mobile coverage can be spotty throughout the region. At Phillips RV Park, "Great place to stay the only issue I've had here was cell connection is spotty," reports one camper who otherwise enjoyed their stay.
Weather preparation: The high elevation means weather can change quickly. "While heading to Tennessee in mid October, the I-80 closed down due to weather and car wrecks. Came up into Evanston and found ourselves in the middle of 100s of big rigs parking on the road in all Lanes," recounted one traveler who found refuge at Phillips RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Recreation amenities: Look for parks with activities for children. "This is such a pretty and accommodating place to stay. They had a small pond for kids to fish in, two swimming pools and two hot tubs, very clean and modern facilities," shared a family staying at Echo Island RV Resort.
Safety considerations: Choose parks with secure facilities, especially with children. "Love this facility has a resort feel. Has showers, bathrooms and laundry. You're on leveled asphalt. Great Mountain View," noted a visitor about Love's RV Stop in Brigham City.
Space for activities: Parks with open areas provide better family experiences. "This park has lots of room for kids to play with a large play structure and grassy area," observed a visitor to Phillips RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Hookup logistics: Check the location of utilities before selecting a site. "Septic hookup is at the back of the site so hopefully you have a long hose. I didn't!" warned a visitor to Phillips RV Park.
Water pressure management: Bring a pressure regulator for water connections. "The hookups are fine, the grounds are clean, and the water pressure is tremendous," mentioned an RVer at Phillips RV Park, indicating the need for pressure regulation.
Road noise considerations: When selecting an RV park near Woodruff, Utah, consider proximity to highways and railways. "The interstate is 20 yards from the first row of sites. It was constant traffic noise 24/7. Sometimes it would slow up a little bit so that you could hear the airplanes flying overhead, or the train going by on the track that are 30 yards away as well," reported one RVer at Riverside RV Resort.
