Sitting at the base of Rockport Reservoir's dam along the Weber River, Riverside Campground occupies a flat, open field within Rockport State Park in northern Utah's Kamas Valley. The setting is more utilitarian than dramatic. Spaces are spread across a grassy area near a residential neighborhood, and campers expecting lake views may be surprised to find the reservoir itself isn't visible from most sites. What the campground does provide is direct access to the river at the base of the dam, which draws anglers looking to fish without fighting for position.
Full hookups are available for RVs up to 40 feet, including electric, water, and sewer connections, along with a dump station, showers, and drinking water on-site. Rates run $35 to $45 per night. Reviewers note that walk-up availability has been reliable, though reservations are accepted. Vault toilets have been flagged as well-maintained. Pets are permitted. Other options within the park include Group Campgrounds — Rockport State Park just to the north, and Juniper Campground — Rockport State Park a short distance southeast if a different setting suits your trip better.
One reviewer described the spot plainly: "Campground is nothing special and doesn't really have a great view of the lake." That kind of honesty is worth heeding. Campers who come expecting a riverside fishing base with full hookups and clean facilities will find what they need here. Those prioritizing scenery or seclusion may want to explore places to camp near Rockport State Park before committing. If a functional overnight stop with water access and full RV amenities fits your plans, Riverside is worth a look.

Geography: The Rockport area was colonized in 1860. It was named for the rock fort built to protect settlers from Indian uprisings. About 200 people lived there until the land was purchased in 1957 by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for construction of the Wanship Dam. Rockport Reservoir is about three miles long and one-half mile wide. At an elevation of over 6,000 feet, it covers more than 500 acres.
Recreation: This high elevation (6,000 feet) park provides great year-round fishing. Warmer weather water sports including waterskiing, swimming, sailboarding and sailboating are popular. Ice fishing, cross country skiing, and nearby snowmobile trails are popular activities during winter months.
