So we just recently stayed here (June 23-June 24 2024) and this is what you need to know. It's a very nice campground. It is smaller than your average campground and all the campsites can probably fit just 1-2 tents comfortably and they are kind of small. Only some sites allow for a trailer. All the campsites are pretty close to each other, some closer than others. Sites I would recommend are 4, 11, 17, 18, 19. These all have good shade and 17-19 are right by a creek which is fun! We stayed at 19 and it was AWESOME. Bugs aren't too bad here. The bathrooms are pretty clean with flushable toilets, but I would bring your own toilet paper if you want to (they have 1-ply and it's super thin). Check in - 3:00 and Check out - 12:00 When making your payment, pay close attention to the white paper on the bulletin board and read the instructions (camp hosts are strict here, they do a sweep at night to crack down on stuff). To have more than one vehicle you pay a $20 fee for the second car. If you are making a reservation, triple check that the dates work for everyone in your party because the cancellation/reservation change policy is ridiculous. $10 fee to change any reservation and you will only receive a partial refund if you cancel your reservation. Does not matter how in advance you do it. Overall, great campground, close to Logan or Brigham City (in case you need anymore supplies) and we had cell service the whole time but also feels like you are in the great outdoors far from town.
This place has the most friendly campground hosts we have ever met. A great family-friendly campground and Mantua Reservoir is only 5 minutes away from the campground.
My family loved it here. Such a Beautiful area with the Creek right next to camp. The campground was nice. The Camp Host was very friendly.
I love this little campground. Very pretty, lots of trees and most sites are pretty private with the tree cover. Campground host Stevie was friendly and kept the bathrooms very clean. My campsite was clean as well when I arrived. This is my go to close to home when I don't feel like driving 2 hours to the higher areas especially with current gas prices.
We stayed in sites 23 & 24 which were by the creek but a long walk from the toilets. Also, site 23 didn’t have much room for a big tent so we had ours on the driveway. But also fit our van and trailer. Just an odd use of space. Mosquitos weren’t as bad as we thought they’d be. Poppies were just coming out. We wished we were a week later. Quick drive to the reservoir though.
