Bridger Bay Campground

We arrived after a long day of driving at 8:30 pm. The ranger at the gate let us know that the gates lock at 10 pm. You can leave after 10 but you cannot come back in after 10 pm. We found our site and were swarmed with mosquitos. They are the worst at dawn and dusk. There were thankfully no no-see-ums or biting gnats. The views from this park are great. You get to see the Salt Lake and there are Long Horns, Birds and Bison all over the park. There are plenty of trails to explore and the bath houses are clean. The sites are paved, this campground has water/ power hookups and there is a dump station at the front of the campground. Bison wander through the park and through the campground. The sunsets are great and we enjoyed our stay. The wind did pick up a couple of times so don't leave your awnings unattended. I think we will plan our next trip for winter to avoid the bugs. Verizon ranged from 3- 13 mbps down, and 0.18-.5 up. T-mobile 23 down and 3 up.

What a gem! We had planned on staying somewhere else but found out we were close to Antelope Island so drove out just to see it. Bridger Bay Campground was so nice- partial and full hookups and many available sites so we stayed. So glad we did! Beautiful view of sunset over the lake and bison were abundant. Don’t miss this state park if you are in the Salt Lake area!

Large, pull through sites... amazing views, wildlife in abundance! Our first stay we were close to the beach access. Our second stay about a week later, we had partial hookups. Dump stations were large and easy to access. The mosquitos were worse than the gnats and the columns of midges along the causeway were astounding in numbers. But the wildlife... wow. Watching a herd of Bison crest a hill and charge down to the roadside was a sight we won't soon forget, burrowing owls, mule deer, pronghorn, birds, coyotes. We even had a coyote pup cross the road and stop to pose for pictures. Rangers were helpful, friendly. Sites were clean and well maintained. Not many state parks can compare to this one as far as value and location are concerned.

This area is very unique and beautiful. You can hike on the beach, up peaks, and see giant mountains on the glass water horizon. Bathrooms are very clean and great shower rooms. Sites are very nice and great view. I went when it was a bad time because the gnats just hatched but I didn't really notice them until I got to the top of Bison Peak. Camp Hosts' were really nice. The drive there across the bridge is beautiful too. There was a little beach grill near the visitor center. A great place!

We stumbled upon Antelope State park on our way back from California and what a pleasant surprise it was! They just finished a new campground with Water + Electric hookups for RV's, this isn't listed on their booking website but you can ask the ranger when you go through the entrance for a spot. (There was conflicting information online, even the Utah State Park SMS system representative said they didn't have it but I'm sitting here plugged in writing this). The park itself is beautiful and filled with a number of Bison who casually stroll through the campsite daily. I imagine the Bison would be even more plentiful if they weren't currently corralled for their annual checkup. Our Verizon phones supported video calls although the cell coverage was low, my T-Mobile hotspot had 4 bars and 60 up / 40 down so plenty of capability to stream, work and video call (I hosted multiple zoom meetings seamlessly here). I look forward to coming back in the future.

Heads and shoulders above the other two State Parks further north along the Great Salt Lake (and right next to I-15). Awesome shelter and aluminum picnic tables at each site. Sweeping views. Dump and freshwater available.

The only drawback is that the loops are one-way. Depending on whether you get a site on the left side or the right side of the road, your RV entrance and windows might be on the opposite side from the picnic table and view of the lake.

The mosquitoes are evil and seem to have a special blend of anesthetic to prevent your feeling their bites. Bring repellant.

The space was nice and the park is very cool. Was worth visiting and checking out. We landed up being there during a heat wave and it was very hot there. It appears they are building a new area which will be full hook ups and seems nice. That said we had read reviews about the bugs and boy there were not kidding. Thousands of them and were all over. Because of the bugs there is no way my wife is willing to go again otherwise I though it was cool. We have att and had very limited cell.

This island is surrounded by the Great Salt Lake and is completely devoid of any development which gives it a very unique feeling. There are 2 RV campgrounds and 1 tent campground. They are building a full hookup site to be completed who-knows-when. We stayed at White Rock Campground which consists of only 8 sites (2 for equestrians) and really spaced apart. Fairly level. Vault toilets, Ramada with picnic table and fire pit. Lots of buffaloes and pronghorn antelope, the latter elusive. Plus the island is known for various bird sanctuaries. Lots of trails with stunning views plus a walk down to the lake itself. We didn’t have any bug problems (although this is the season for no-see ums) but we didn’t see um.😁
