It has RV spots, not room. Plenty of openings for memorial weekend. Nice doggie area, it clean no bad smell. Showers and laundry areas. They are working on the game room. Also adding fire pits to the deluxe sites. Come check they out. Let them know Mike and Star’s reviews helped pick a place. It close to everything. So traffic noise is heard. But it still amazing.

We ended up staying, unexpectedly, for two weeks. Shawnee, Matt and Sarah took excellent care of us. The park is clean, beautifully maintained, has very nice bathrooms and showers. The lawns are cool and green - even a couple rose bushes to look at! It is located just off the freeway which is very convenient, but there are trees so you are insulated. Lots of restaurants, theaters and shopping nearby. The laundry room has a library - added bonus! The RV spaces have a strip of green, healthy lawn between each one, giving each spot it's own little yard. The dog play area was clean and shady and fenced. Perfect! There are propane fire pits and chairs in the premium sites. Again, the people who manage this park make it an over the top nice place to stay. Super friendly and helpful!! The communication with Shawnee during our stay was fabulous. She is there when you need her. They all care and you can feel it. We miss them! Guess we will have to go back to Golden Spike RV Park in Brigham City. 😊

This RV park in Brigham City was a very convenient and accessible location for our 27' travel trailer with pull thru spots, lawn, small picnic tables, and full hookups. It is very tidy and accommodating. Other campers were quiet and respectful. The dog run, laundry and bathrooms are excellent. A few lifted concrete rolled curbs present significant trip hazards in the lane nearest the street. S... This RV park in Brigham City was a very convenient and accessible location for our 27' travel trailer with pull thru spots, lawn, small picnic tables, and full hookups. It is very tidy and accommodating. Other campers were quiet and respectful. The dog run, laundry and bathrooms are excellent. A few lifted concrete rolled curbs present significant trip hazards in the lane nearest the street. Shawnee (sp?) was exceedingly helpful. She called when she noticed a water leak outside our trailer and had washers and pressure regulator on-hand for a quick repair. She referred us to two repairmen to help us with our toilet leak. This park is NOT a full blown resort with pool, restaurant and playground, which was just what we were looking for when we came to town for a wedding. It is definitely more reasonably priced than the KOA campground. Many thanks to Shawnee!

I looked everywhere to park my Rv. Because of age no one would even let me move in, until I called here. Shawnee had me send a picture and I was approved that day. This place has tree's. It's clean and close to everything. They are the best! Love this place!
