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.

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.

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.

The campground is beautiful. Nice sites along the river or if you like cool and shady there are beautiful spots along the mountain side. The Camp Host was the BEST! Hope he comes back again next year.

11A is supposed to be for handicap accessability, but this was one of the most unfriendly sites for a handicap, and is not friendly to back into with a trailer of 24ft in length or longer. The road is paved with boulders and trees, so the room needed to manage the backin is very difficult so you can position your trailer close to the cement pad. The cement pad is in need of repair, as well as the fire pit needs to be redone. So FYI pick another campsite as this is ok for people with tents or a small pop up , plus when we got there there was a truck and a car in our site and we had to go find the host.

We used camp sites 6 and 7. They worked out well for us with plenty of space for our tent. However there were few trees and little shade so we brought a pop-up tent shade.
