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."

RangerLocation- 39 miles south of Evanston, Wy in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest of Utah. It is on the east side of Hwy 150 and sits at 9,100'. There are 15 single site and 6 dbls sites. Reservable with water, sometimes (had it when we were there) and vault toilets.
Some sites aren't level and some sites can become lakes in heavy rain (our friends were in #3 and we almost had to get out the boats!).
Hosts were nice and kept the facilities clean.
Pretty area with the Hayden Fork of the Bear River on the east side of the Campground. Whiskey Creek Trailhead across the Hwy from the CG. Trail leads to Bourbon Lake (yes- this is Utah!).
Beautiful drive from Evanston. Ranger station is about 5 miles north of the CG. Just beyond that is a dump station. Don't remember if there is a sign but it's a hundred yards or so down a little forest road east of 150.
We tried fishing the river by the CG and below the confluence with the East Fork. Caught nothing and saw nothing.
This is one of those places where you want to have everything you need with you.
Evanston and Kamas are 40-ish miles away.
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).
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.
GuideCool cave, river, hiking, wildlife. Pet friendly. Kids love it here.
GuideWe stayed at Phillips RV Park in Evanston, Wyoming in August 2021. We had a nice pull-thru site that easily accommodated our fifth wheel and truck. We had full hookups and cable. The WiFi didn’t work very good here but was typical of many RV parks, hit or miss. Good spacing between sites and very easy to maneuver your rig in and out of. Nice grassy areas to walk your pups. They doggy poop bag stations were always empty of bags, but we carry our own anyway. This park has lots of room for kids to play with a large play structure and grassy area.. The county fair was here during our stay and we enjoyed walking basically across the street to the fairground to enjoy it. There are miles of paved hiking/biking paths close at Bear River State Park. We enjoyed our stay here. To see videos on this park and others, please visit our YouTube: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.
ScoutBear Lake RV is your perfect RV destination for all recreation Bear Lake has to offer. We offer full hookups at every spot, a club house with bathrooms and showers, plenty of space for BBQ, dining and grass to enjoy with kids or pets.
LegendThis 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. Not as many amenities as the KOA (Bear Lake/Marina Side).
The bathhouse was very clean. Did seem less busy than the KOA (Bear Lake/Marina Side).
TravelerWe went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.
TravelerLedgefork sits on the south side of the Smith and Morehouse Resevoir in the Uinta National Forest. The resevoir itself is small, but beautiful, and we love the fact that motorized boats are not allowed, which helps keep the noise factor down. The resevoir is popular with anglers, as well as kayakers, canoes, and paddleboarders.
Ledgefork, as well as Smith and Morehouse campground (which sits at the north edge of the resevoir), are both popular family campsites, especially on the weekends and holidays, so I would recommend making a reservation if you can. Both campgrounds do have walk-up sites available and can be paid for with cash only. Sites are $21 per night.
Ledgefork is the trailhead for the Smith and Morehouse Trail which can take you to the Erickson Basin (5 miles), Island Lake (7 miles), and Crystal Lake Trailhead (10 miles). The trail is available to hikers, mountain bikers, and horses. However, when we visited the trail it was still closed due to fire in the area last year, so make sure to double check and see if it's reopened if the trails are what you're interested in.
Picnic tables, fire grills, vaulted toilets, drinking water, and garbage service are all provided. Pets are also permitted, as long as they are leashed.
