About 40 miles north of Salt Lake City is the mountain town of Ogden, known for its easy access to some of the best camping in Utah. Trek across the vast wilderness of Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest by Eden. Head out on Bells Canyon Trail, or stop by Ogden River for trout fishing. Then look out for national forest RV and tent camping on timbered sites with amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water, and on-site restrooms. For a lakeside camping experience, head to the shores of Pineview Reservoir near Huntsville. From waterfront campgrounds in Ogden Valley, try boating, kayaking, and water skiing.

An ideal spot for biking, ATV trail riding, and stargazing alike, the park also offers yurt rentals, hammock campsites, frontier-style camping wagons, and lake cottages for every type of camper.
