Well taken care of campground, the host was very kind and helpful, easy access to the river and clean water.
Trails to the river lead right through some campgrounds do you may receive uninvited visitors or loud campers passing through to go tubing at night.
South Fork Campground was such a wonderful place to camp! It's right by the Weber River with plenty of access points to the river. The campground staff/host was great! Stew was friendly and kept everything up well. He checked in on everyone daily. The restrooms were clean and didn't smell as much as most I've been to. They actually had hand soap at the water spigots. I would definitely go there again.

The best campground in the area by far our favorite site of all of them is the loop B 42 it's secluded so you almost feel like your camping alone it's close to the water bit far from the bathrooms so there is a trade off for the seclusion. They also have great river access and have built up retaining walls to provide little wading pools for your whole family to play in. I would suggest bringing good water shoes because it's pretty rocky in there. It's super close to pine view reservoir
This was a really nice campground with lots of trees for shade and for fairly good privacy. Great trees for hammocks etc. The trailer sites are a bit tricky to get into with the bigger rigs. But overall, a great experience and very well maintained.
This campground was great! The host was nice and did his job. I saw some complaints about the bathrooms stinking, but if everyone followed the rules it wouldn’t be that bad. You’re supposed to close the toilet lid and keep the door closed, but no one seems to be able to follow that. The spots were clean and kept well! We had a great time and will definitely be returning.
