Fort Tabby Campground
2. Fort Tabby Campground
41mi from Ballard · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Fort Tabby is a rustic glamping and outdoor retreat featuring distinctive painted tipis set against a backdrop of rolling hills, open skies, and a nearby river.
The site’s tipis are the centerpiece. One is decorated with deer and geometric borders in earth tones; another features a bold American flag motif with stars and stripes; a third depicts galloping horses silhouetted against a sunset gradient.
Matching picnic tables sit outside each tipi, painted in complementary designs and placed on striped outdoor rugs. Adirondack chairs—some navy, some red—are clustered nearby for relaxing. Grill stands and propane fire pits are also available.
The interiors feel cozy and cabin-like. Log-frame beds are dressed in themed quilts featuring bears, patriotic patchwork, and American flags, complemented by sofas, nightstands, floor lamps, dreamcatchers, and hanging textiles. Soft natural light filters through the canvas and circular vents at the peak. One space includes a wooden entry bench and potted plants, while another offers a full bed and two twin beds.
A short walk leads to a tree-lined river where guests can fish in waders, casting their lines amid green banks and distant mountains. A simple picnic table sits on the grassy shore. Evenings center around campfires, where groups can gather in folding chairs around open flames or a metal fire pit etched with horse silhouettes while roasting marshmallows under the stars.
Practical amenities include a clean, modern restroom building constructed of tan-and-brown blocks with a metal roof. Inside are private stalls, sinks, mirrors, paper towel dispensers, grab bars, and bright lighting.
Overall, Fort Tabby blends themed, comfortable tipi lodging with riverside recreation, outdoor cooking, and communal fireside evenings in a scenic, open landscape.

Price Field Office
7. Price Field Office
Park 67mi from Ballard · 4 sites
The Price Bureau of Land Management Field Office is perfect for any number of outdoor activities, but we’ve gotta give a major hat tip to the phenomenal river-based recreation that’s going on out here. Evidence of water’s work on the landscape is obvious everywhere you go, whether you’re on the water itself or simply exploring a deep canyon. The scenery is openly amazeballs, but these canyons also let you catch a glimpse of what life would have been like for explorers of the past, and it’s a downright fascinating experience. For water lovers, what to do is a no-brainer…set out on a rafting and camping trip! Beginners should always go with a trip outfitter or with experienced friends. Conditions can change quickly in this part of the country, and as you’ll be able to see from the landscapes, this is definitely a place of extremes. Mostly, it’s just extremely awesome.

After a year of wanting to make it out here, we finally did. This place is so amazing! The tent and campground is so clean, inside the tent is spotless. They provide basically everything you need, just bring food and firewood! The hosts (Jim and his wife) are extremely helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. I appreciate you guys so much for such an amazing weekend getaway! Definitely coming back and telling all my friends about it.
Tanner and Justin.

The directions Matt & Rachel provided were easy to follow, and the property was well-kept. We ended up switching to the Judah tent since another customer had canceled and Isaachar had a broken zipper that hadn't been repaired yet. It was a very peaceful place to spend the night!

The camp grounds are amid large and beautiful juniper trees, making for a distinctly strong Utah atmosphere and the yurt had everything you could possibly need while glamping. 10/10

Such an awesome getaway! Took out all the difficult parts of camping, and made it so enjoyable! We had the Zebulon tent, and it was so cool inside! Being able to nap mid day with the solar powered AC was SO nice.
Super fun! Very affordable! Totally want to come back here :)

For starters as a busy single mom, this was not only affordable, but had literally everything you need, comfy beds, hot showers, a sink to wash your hands and dishes, a/c and heat in the tent, and an RV fridge cooler, that kept everything super cold! I only go places where I can bring my dog, and she really enjoyed herself as well, we had so much fun that we stayed an extra night! This is our new favorite spot and Matt and Rachel are absolutely wonderful and kind! Our charcoal got soaked in the rain and the happily swapped out our bucket. We are already planning our next trip!! PS they have WIFI!!

The hosts are amazing.
The amenities are perfect.
I flew in from the Midwest and didn't need anything except food to comfortably camp here. Better than a hotel!
The outdoor shower is heavenly. It has a tank less heater if that's your jam, but the water is from a tank so it's not freezing cold.

I had a great stay! The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the amenities were all very good. It's just a few minutes from Starvation Reservoir, which was a big plus. The host, Matt, was very responsive and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a very pleasant experience—I'd definitely come back!

This place has everything you need for a perfect “I’m outdoorsy but also like mattresses” kind of getaway. The bed? Comfy enough to make you question your life choices back home. The bathroom? Spotless, private, and had actual toilet paper (not the terrifying single-ply stuff). And yes, the shower was hot — not “lukewarm if you dance around” hot, but real hot.
There was a fire pit where we roasted marshmallows like champions, and a little coffee setup that made me feel like a civilized human while watching the sunrise.
But let’s talk about the jackrabbits. Two of them. We called them Bonnie and Clyde. They spent most of the trip sprinting around like tiny antelope with trust issues. At one point, they squared off like it was the Wild West and we were the only witnesses. Five stars for the unexpected bunny drama alone.
In short: came for the nature, stayed for the rabbits with beef. Will absolutely glamp again

we had a great time on our stay and wish we had more time there!
having a heater available was great. it's still pretty chilly at night.
the hosts were awesome people and ready to help if needed.
star gazing was amazing!
close to starvation reservoir for fishing.
also recommend taking the strawberry pinical scenic drive. we saw about 400 dear in the farm fields driving through, amazing cliff views, marmots on the cliff sides, and wild turkeys.
great place to stay, great location. thank you!
we'll be back again.

Everything and nothing. My gas leaked like hell and the heat went out. It’s on the 40 with a beautiful overlook over skinwalker ranch. Heat went out at ten. I woke up at 12 and went out for a smoke and saw my lights on in my car I was like godamn that crap was locked!!! Went turned it off and ran the car to charge the battery for twenty minutes. Damn right I brought my dog. My alarm for some reason went off at 505 and I woke up and my dog was frozen and shaking. She refused to get under the covers so I took her into my car. There were three of them. Talking about my dog. I laughed. I was in my car smoking heard a blow of one. Instantly rolled up my window. Then behind me my beautiful wiew. I say a glowing light get bright then go dim about twenty times. It was cool as hell. The things kept taking telling me to trust them. As soon as it was light.
I cleaned and left quickly. I never turned off my vehicle. It was greatest experience ever I highly recommend staying in the Judah tent in February. Awesome night!!!
