South Fork (UT)

Camp host (Stew) is a very friendly/helpful person. Enjoyed my interaction with him. Have camped here before and was surprised at how quite it can be, even with the road so close. We will camp here again. Just a suggestion, signs should be posted at the entrance or on the reservation site that not all dogs are suitable for camping. Our last night one site away, they had two large dogs that barked when the wind blew or someone walked past.

This site, and the general area of this valley that Causey Reservoir sits it, is quite exposed, dry and dusty. The campsites have poured concrete slabs around the fire pits and table giving it the feel of of a park as opposed to a nature retreat. The host was very nice and the area was clean, but the sites are quite close together and very few have any shade. #10 looked nice with campsite access to the river, and a few surrounding trees. We also explored some of the dirt roads in the surrounding areas and there were some sketchy looking dwellings with spray-painted "keep out" signs that looked reminiscent of trailer meth labs. I probably wouldn't camp in this general area again.

We enjoyed the camping site.

Campground host was exceptional

Love this place to kick back and relax. The camp host Stew was amazing. I've never seen a busier, more through host than Stew. He was friendly and helpful and you can tell he loves what he is doing. If there is a problem he takes care of it and does a fantastic job of keeping the place under control. Southfork is a great place for those who want to float down the river or just relax in camp and listen to nature. This is our go to place to stay when going to the Ogden Valley Balloon Festival. This year is was cancelled but we still went up to Southfork to relax for a couple of days.

My family had the best time here! Its so beautiful and the river is so much fun. Tubing and just relaxing. The camp host Stew is a great guy so helpful and nice. Made new friends here for sure!

Magical! Everything was perfect and I can't wait to visit again!

Enjoyed our time there. Camp host was nice too.

Perfect location in between Pineview and Causey reservoirs. We had campsite #11 which is right next to the river and had a nice little area the kids could wade in (although some previous campers had thrown some watermelon slices in the water that were stuck there now). Lots of tubers coming down the river and that looked like a lot of fun...definitely something we'll bring next time. We had a fair amount of distance from the campsite up the river from us, but the double campsite on the other side was really close to ours (fortunately it was vacant for the time we were there!). We did have to pay the $9 fee for having an extra car since we had two others in our party come up in a different car. This fee doesn't really make sense to me since our two small cars still take up less space than a truck pulling an RV, but that wasn't really a big deal. Causey is perfect for paddleboarding and kayaking (and even just sightseeing a super unique and beautiful lake) and there were even some people cliff jumping from the other side of the lake. Pineview is great for fishing and for the beach experience. We paid the day use fee at the campground there (I think it was like $18) since that beach didn't appear to be as crowded as the free one. Water was quite warm actually and the sand even got so hot it was uncomfortable to stand on, but there was lots of shade from the trees along the bank behind us. All in all a great trip and you really couldn't ask for a better location on this campsite.

We had a nice campground. But our experience was not the best, because of how rude the campground host was. He came into our campground, yelling about how we owe him for an extra vehicle. I was already aware that we would need to pay a fee for the extra vehicle, and didn't need to be yelled at for this. Also, we found a live rattle snake in our campground, and informed the campground host of this. He didn't seem concerned at all, and did nothing about it. We thought he should have put up a notice or something, warning people that a rattle snake had been sighted in the campground, and to watch your children especially. He did nothing. We would have had a nice experience camping, if it hadn't been for him.
