    Rendezvous Beach — Bear Lake State Park

    A bit dry and windy, but not a bad place to stay

    We camped for three days here. The restroom was very clean (for a campground), although the stall door needed some repair. The paper towels were well-stocked, and the trash emptied daily. The fire pits are pretty solid and include a built-in grill. The area was free of litter. There was a golden eagle nest above us where eagles were flying to and from; this was quite the sight to see! If you want to camp at Bear Lake, this is a good spot. Electricity and water hookups are included at each campsite for those of you with RVs.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    A good example of how government campsites should be done

    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.

    South Fork (UT)

    Great place but book ahead!

    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. Bathroom within walking distance!

    Great place to stop for the night

    All the basics are here! Spotless bathrooms inc showers. Little but completely fenced dog area. Heated pool (in season). Wifi. Just about a mile S of I-80. Extremely nice manager. Very little shade and it's Wyoming, so "breezy"😉 $40+tax for power and water. (I'm not sure if there's an extra charge for sewer since my tiny camper isn't so equipped and my site doesn't hv it available.)

    Little Lyman Lake Campground

    Great Lake Spot with Great Host

    Spent 3 nights at Little Lyman Lake to get out of the Heat. This is a wonderful campground with 6 small RV campsites and 4 tent sites. Sites 2, 3, 8 and 10 are pull thru. Site 1 is a double back in and 9 is a deep back in. There’s two very clean pit toilets but no water. Doesn’t sound like they will ever get water back so bring enough with you as we could not find any even in Mountain View. The host, Matthew drives up from Meeks Cabin multiple times every day and checks to see if you need anything, he is the greatest caretaker. There is only a few negatives. There’s a lot of people who come into the site to use the bathrooms and fish without paying the day use fee. They did leave some trash in the toilets and around the lake. People also walk right through the campsite to go to the lake. Not too noisy on the weekends and plenty of available sites, we had 2 other campers on Saturday night. Sunday night and Monday we had the whole valley to ourselves. The fishing after everyone left was great, brook and speckled trout, small but fun to catch on light tackle or flies. Matthew made up for the minimal negatives. If you disperse up at Big Lyman and come down to fish, pay the day use fee, make sure you have your fishing license and take your trash out. We’ll be back for some mid week camping soon. Don’t even think you will get cell service, but isn’t that the point.

    Washington Lake Campground

    Sooo many memories!!!

    Washington lake was my childhood campground! I’ve been back many times over the years. It’s since been paved and all sorts of amenities are available. As a kid it was just a dirt campground, but has been much improved since. Picnic tables. Fire pits. Electric hookups. Etc.

    The lake is fairly large, full of fish, and fun to canoe around! All around the lake are amazing dispersed camping spots, and trails connecting to other lakes.

    Our YouTube channel Intro was filmed on location at Washington Lake! Enjoy

    Echo Island RV Resort

    Lovely spot!

    We are new to RBing but very much enjoyed this spot and could see spending time here- unfortunately we could only stay one night. Spacious lots- gravel and grass, several pools although only 2 currently open but heated! Lovely stream on property where you can fish and low mountains on several sides. Has RV sites and cabins- there are Teepees on site as well that I assume you can rent Trees we’re changing as well. Staff In office were very friendly. Would love to come back

    Stateline Campground

    Decent Site

    Decent site if it there are no other sites open further into Utah. Most of the sites are back to back and while there are trees around the site it feels more like a parking lot than other sites further up. There are 3 sites near the entrance that feel a little more like camping as they face the lake. Of course every site has a table and fire pit with several bathrooms around the camp.

    North Fork County Park

    Secluded and gorgeous...with amenities!

    I've never seen so many shooting stars before. The sites were plenty big, each had a fire pit and picnic table and were close to legit toilets. It was beautiful. Worth the drive to get a little further off the beaten path.


Guide to Evanston

Evanston, Wyoming sits at an elevation of about 6,750 feet in the high desert region where Wyoming meets Utah. Summer temperatures typically range from 45-85°F with significant cooling at night even during July and August. Winter camping requires substantial preparation as temperatures regularly drop below freezing from October through April, with snowfall common across the region's diverse camping options.

What to do

Hiking to waterfalls: North Fork County Park features accessible waterfall trails for various skill levels. "Had a great stay at North Fork. Camped in the canyon near the trailhead for the waterfall hike... Excellent mountain bike trails also," notes a camper at North Fork County Park.

Fishing opportunities: The lakes and reservoirs near Evanston provide excellent fishing conditions. At Whitney Reservoir, a visitor reported, "Caught tiger and rainbow trout from shore both evenings but the mosquitos are bad!! Be prepared with DEET and/or a ThermaCELL."

Kayaking and river activities: Several campgrounds feature water access for paddling and floating. "It's fun to bring kayaks and float the river. The people who manage the camp ground have done a wonderful job," explains a visitor to Echo Island RV Resort.

What campers like

Dark sky stargazing: The minimal light pollution creates exceptional night sky viewing conditions. A camper at Whitney Reservoir shared, "We very much enjoyed watching the moon go through its phases and star gazing with zero light pollution." Pack red-lens flashlights to maintain night vision.

Wildlife observation: The Uinta Mountains region supports diverse wildlife viewing opportunities. "We saw tons of wildlife, including a moose swimming in the lake (one of the perks staying by the water!)," reports a visitor to Whitney Reservoir.

Private campsites: Many glamping locations near Evanston provide substantial distance between sites. At South Fork, a camper noted, "We stayed in my pop up camper for a night and there was tons of space for pop up and our site (A1) was the best in the campground, I think. It was secluded with tons of trees."

What you should know

Road conditions: Access roads to some remote locations require careful navigation. Regarding Little Lyman Lake Campground, a visitor advises, "Road is a little ruff coming from the west, but coming in from the north through Wyoming is way easier on the vehicle. It takes me about an hour longer, but it is worth it."

Weather preparedness: Mountain conditions can change rapidly. "We arrived at the end of July and we called it quits when a small hurricane came through and snowed for two days," reports a Whitney Reservoir camper.

Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. "You need to reserve sites here well in advance as it fills up for the entire Summer as soon as the reservation window opens," notes a camper at Anderson Cove.

Cell service limitations: Most remote glamping sites have minimal connectivity. A Whitney visitor explains, "No service for the most part except for random spots here and there (at&t)." Download offline maps before arrival.

Tips for camping with families

Water activities: Several reservoir campsites have beach areas suitable for children. At Anderson Cove, a visitor reports, "The beach is so large and it's easy to camp out. The sand is soft and fun for the kids to build sand castles."

Fishing access for children: Stocked lakes provide reliable fishing experiences for younger anglers. "We camp here because the kids like to fish, and we can all ride dirtbikes, ATV, and side-by-side," mentions a Little Lyman Lake visitor.

Camp amenities: Some upscale glamping options include entertainment facilities. Echo Island RV Resort offers "a small pond for kids to fish in, two swimming pools and two hot tubs, very clean and modern facilities... and they have DVDs and sports equipment you can check out."

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: When seeking luxury glamping options with RVs, research site positioning. At Echo Island RV Resort, a visitor notes, "Gravel slots, picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Good park design for the back up sites to get a large trailer situated no problem."

Utility considerations: Verify which hookups are available at each site. "The 30amp electric did not work at our site, site 151. Front office was closed and no one returned our call when we called the number provided," cautions an Echo Island visitor.

Weather adaptation: Many RV glamping sites near Evanston lack shade. "A lot of road noise and the 30amp electric did not work at our site... we decided to go swimming in nearby echo lake and wished we had reserved to camp there as we ended up dry camping anyway," advises an Echo Island camper.
