About this campground
Nestled along the banks of the Logan River, Wood Camp Campground offers an intimate escape into nature with just six secluded campsites. This hidden gem, located 13 miles east of Logan, Utah, invites you to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with the rhythms of the river. Each site comes thoughtfully equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars, while convenient vault toilets ensure comfort during your stay.
Wood Camp Campground features six single non-electric campsites, suitable for tent and small RV camping. The sites are first-come, first-serve, offering a natural and rustic camping experience.
Historical SignificanceYour Wood Camp adventure connects you to centuries of Utah history and culture. Just down the canyon, the preserved Jensen Farm tells the story of early Mormon settlers who carved out a life in these rugged mountains. For a dose of high culture, the renowned Utah Festival Opera Company in Logan offers world-class performances throughout the summer. Don't miss the legendary Jardine Juniper Trail, where a moderate hike rewards you with a visit to a 1,500-year-old juniper tree—one of the oldest living sentinels in all the Rocky Mountains.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the full spectrum of mountain beauty as Wood Camp transforms with the seasons. Summer arrives in a burst of emerald canopies and wildflower meadows, with warm days perfect for riverside relaxation. As autumn approaches, the canyon erupts in a breathtaking display of golden aspens, fiery maples, and burnt orange oak leaves. When winter blankets the canyon in snow, the area becomes a playground for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling enthusiasts, with Logan Canyon's famous powder drawing adventurers from across the region.
ElevationPerched at 5,600 feet above sea level, Wood Camp offers a refreshing mountain retreat where the air is crisp and temperatures run 10-15 degrees cooler than the valley below. This perfect elevation provides relief from summer heat while remaining accessible throughout most of the camping season, creating an ideal balance of mountain atmosphere and comfortable conditions.
Natural Features and SceneryWood Camp cradles visitors in a natural amphitheater of towering pines and aspens, where dappled sunlight filters through the canopy to dance on the forest floor. The crystalline Logan River serves as both soundtrack and centerpiece, its gentle murmur lulling campers to sleep and its pools beckoning anglers at dawn. Dramatic limestone cliffs rise like ancient castle walls on either side of the canyon, their weathered faces telling geological stories millions of years in the making. This verdant oasis offers abundant shade and the kind of profound quiet that seems increasingly rare in our modern world.
Geological RegionWood Camp sits within the spectacular Logan Canyon, a geological masterpiece carved through the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Towering limestone walls rise nearly vertical from the canyon floor, their stratified layers revealing 400 million years of Earth's history. Sharp-eyed visitors can spot ancient marine fossils embedded in the rock faces—remnants from when this mountain sanctuary lay beneath a prehistoric sea. The Logan River, your constant companion at Wood Camp, has sculpted this dramatic landscape over millennia and continues to offer some of Utah's finest trout fishing, with native Bonneville cutthroat and wild brown trout lurking in its clear pools and riffles.
