The campground features 17 single sites and 6 double sites, each equipped with picnic tables and fire rings—everything you need for classic campfire cooking and evening gatherings.

The spacious layout means you're not camping on top of your neighbors, making this an excellent choice for families or groups seeking both community and solitude. Recreation opportunities abound both at the campground and nearby. The South Fork Ogden River provides immediate access to fishing, swimming, and tubing (life jackets required for tubers), while Causey Reservoir lies just four miles east, offering excellent canoeing, fishing, and additional hiking and biking trails.

Whether you're content to spend lazy days by the river or want to explore every trail and waterway in the area, you'll find plenty to fill your days. Reservations are managed through Recreation.gov online or by calling 877-444-6777. Be aware of the cancellation policies: a $10 service fee applies to all cancellations, and late cancellations (day before or day of arrival) will cost you both the service fee and your first night's use fee. No-shows incur a $20 fee plus forfeiture of the first night's fee. Holders of Senior or Access interagency passes receive discounts on individual campsites (though not on double sites or additional fees). Given the campground's popularity and proximity to both Huntsville and Ogden, booking well in advance during summer months is strongly recommended.
