Weekend Trip to RIVER BEND CAMP GROUND

Beautiful area right by the river. Al was super kind and made sure everything was okay. Has a fire pit

1 night at RIVER BEND CAMP GROUND

We stopped here for one night on our way down to Utah and it turned out to be a fabulous spot! Al met us and showed us down to the camping area on their property and helped us get our motor home in where he wanted it. We had the place to ourselves and a fabulous view of the river made our overnight stay very enjoyable. Our dogs loved exploring everything. The highway is pretty close so if you're tent camping I would bring earplugs. That's the only downside, the highway noise is pretty noticeable, especially when someone veers off and hits the rumble straps. We had a motor home to sleep in so didn't bother us. But something to consider if you're in a tent and not insulated from the noise. But other than that the place was picturesque. We had great weather! The place was clean and well maintained. Woud be a fun place to stay with a group!

Oh my goodness. We loved our stay!!! Al and Jeri are so kind and welcoming. The river runs right beside the site and the fire pit area is amazing! Highly recommend!!!

Weekend Trip to Echo Island

Es un buen lugar para RV, baños y regaderas limpias, espacio de diversion para niños, una piscina qué estaba cerrado en el mes de abril, pero no lo pero no para camping, está muy cerca del freeway y se escucha los ruidos de los carros, a parte tiene pocos lugares para camping.

1 night at Tiny Shiny Escape, River Runs Thru!

Nice little place up out of SLC. Lots of McMansions to view driving up. Right next to a very quiet road with hardly any traffic and there is the nice creek.

Weekend Trip to Riverside RV Resort

Despite having someone parked in my spot upon arrival, which was 11pm, this park was amazing. They were quick to help with the issue of someone in my spot by giving me another spot. The bathrooms and on-site facilities were very clean and well-kept. I actually spoke shortly with the maintenance tech there, an older veteran, and he was very nice. I hope to find myself in the area to pay another visit

Weekend Trip to RIVER BEND CAMP GROUND

The stay was amazing! It’s relatively secluded, definitely had privacy! It was a last minute booking and the host handled everything very helpfully and timely! The creek/river was a nice surprise, it did a good job covering any nearby noise!

1 night at Tiny Shiny Escape, River Runs Thru!

I appreciated Chad's hospitality, communication, and help navigating to the spot in the dark. The drive back to the canyon was great at night and the roads were clear and maintained in the winter (I was worried - Chad assured me they are safe). I woke up to the most amazing views, snow covered trees, and the running river completed the whole thing! I felt like I was in Narnia. Beautiful spot. Great host. Highly recommend. Thanks Chad!

RIVER BEND CAMP GROUND

3 sites · RVs, Tents1 acre · Morgan, UT

ENTRANCE TO OUR PROPERTY IS STRAIGHT NORTH AT THE END OF THE PAVEMENT. PLEASE DO NOT TURN LEFT ON SESSION LANE! We have ten acres that our home sit on but about 9 acres that consist of dry farm grass. We use 1 acre for camping and parking. The Weber river runs across the back of our property where we have a campground with tables and firepits. This is a family campground. We do not have Electrical Power or Water hookups. We have added 4 wooden porta potty enclosed in small tents which we service every day or as needed. Site selection is determined by type of sleeping accommodations. We have two tent areas and 1 RV spot. Sometimes we can accommodate more RV's on a exception basis **We allow 2 adults per site and/or 2 adults and minor children per site. (Family Exceptions must be approved) We are not a public campground and only list through Hipcamp and so our property is posted with NO TRESPASSING SIGNS. It is very important to let us know your approximate arrival time and call when you arrive. We will guide you down to the campgrounds and show you the best spots base on your type of camping. (Sleeping in trailers or van's versus tent campers) One draw back to our property is that we are within 1/2 mile of a well use highway (US 84) and railroad track. We have only had one camper who was concerned about the noise. Here at the house we don't notice it and maybe we are just use to it. Limited swimming and use of paddle board based on river conditions. Fishing is limited because we are on private property and the river is not stocked by the Utah fish and game. So, we are dependent on normal reproduction of the fish. Fly fishing being the best however you can use lures but not bait of any kind . We would prefer catch and release. ALL UTAH FISHING REGULATION APPLY. WE HAVE INDICATED WHEEL CHAIR ACCESSIBLE. THE WHOLE AREA IS BASICLLY LEVEL AND GRASS AND BARK COVERED.
