Sandy Beach at Yuba Lake

20 RV Sites, 6 Cabins, 1 Glamping Site, 3 Airstreams, 1 Tiny House

Sandy Beach at Yuba Lake in Levan, Utah, offers 20 beachfront RV parking sites, seven cabin and tiny-house units, and four Airstream and glamping accommodations on Yuba Reservoir, behind a gated entrance. Boat docks, kayak rentals, and a sandy beach anchor a lake resort in Juab County's central Utah high desert. Accommodations divide clearly. Twenty beach parking sites serve self-contained RVs — note these are beachfront parking rather than full-hookup sites, so arrive prepared with water and power. Seven cabins and tiny houses and four Airstream and glamping units provide furnished lodging for guests without a rig. Restrooms and showers are on site, and a gated entrance controls access. The reservoir is the whole point. Yuba's 22,000 acres on the Sevier River support boating, fishing, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking, with boat docks and kayak rentals on site and a sandy beach for swimming. A recreation center, picnicking areas, hiking, and biking fill the rest, with OHV terrain nearby and a state park close by. Juab County's minimal light pollution makes the stargazing genuinely exceptional — one of the least-visited lake destinations in Utah's reservoir system, and it shows at night. Pets are welcome. Directions: take exit 202 off I-15, head east on Old Yuba Dam Road about two miles, turn left on Old Botham Road at the "Welcome to Yuba Lake Recreation Area" sign, continue about a mile, and the cedar post fence entrance is on your right. Summer boating season drives demand from the Salt Lake City and Provo corridors. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah

163 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 5 Tent Sites, 36 Hotel Rooms

Sun Outdoors Garden City in Utah offers 163 full-hookup RV sites, 38 cabin and hotel room units, and five tent sites on the western shore of Bear Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year. Standard back-in, pull-in, and pull-through categories join a pool, hot tub, spa, beach, and boat docks. One hundred sixty-three sites run in standard back-in, standard pull-in, and standard pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. Three straightforward categories keep booking simple. Thirty-eight cabins and hotel rooms and five tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Blue Water RV Resort. An outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a beach and boat docks opening the lake for boating and swimming. A recreation center, craft room, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, a playground, pavilion, and community fire pit fill the rest, with skiing, a state park, and mountains nearby and productive birding along the shore. The address is 2126 South Bear Lake Boulevard, eight miles south of the Idaho border. Bear Lake's water is a startling turquoise — the result of suspended limestone — which makes it one of the most visually distinctive lakes in the Intermountain West, framed by Wasatch-Cache ridges on three sides. Summer is the short, intense season at Bear Lake, with the raspberry harvest drawing August crowds. Reserve well ahead.

Antelope Valley RV Park

82 RV Sites

Antelope Valley RV Park in Delta, UT, offers 82 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a pavilion, and cabins for guests without a rig cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Horseshoes and picnicking are the on-site recreation, with off-road riding, boating, a river, a beach, golf, and mountains all nearby. Delta sits at 776 US Highway 50 — "The Loneliest Road in America" — where it crosses the Great Basin's most remote corridor between the Wasatch Front and the Nevada line, in the Millard County valley left behind by ancient Lake Bonneville. Topaz Mountain, the Notch Peak country, and the Great Basin's fossil beds and rockhounding sites are all within range. Rates and availability are on the booking page. This is a genuine crossroads park on a long, empty highway — worth booking ahead if you're timing a Great Basin crossing.

Lost Trail

20 RV Sites

Lost Trail in Lava Hot Springs, ID, offers 20 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in two categories — pull-thru and riverfront back-in — each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on dumping elsewhere for longer stays. The riverfront back-ins put the Portneuf a few steps from the door and are the reason to book here. A bathhouse with showers, a pavilion, a beach, and sport courts are on the property, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. The property also serves as a wedding venue. Fishing on the Portneuf is the main event, with the river running the length of the grounds. Lava Hot Springs sits in southeastern Idaho where the basalt of the Snake River Plain meets the limestone canyons of the Portneuf drainage, and the region's volcanic geology pushes hot mineral water to the surface — the town's namesake pools are a short walk or drive away. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Riverfront back-ins are limited and book earliest for summer.
