About

This small campground is located about six miles east of Huntsville, Utah on a curve along the South Fork of the Ogden River. Botts sits at an elevation of 5,200 feet. It has been a popular camping spot since the pioneers came to Utah. This campground offers 7 single campsites and 1 double campsite, picnic tables, fire rings and vault restrooms. A host is not on-site but can be found at Magpie Campground (west) or South Fork Campground (east). This campground is situated among cottonwoods and willow. Although the trees are not thick, they are big and very old. The South Fork of the Ogden River runs alongside the campground. Beautiful Ogden Valley has numerous boating, fishing, hiking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding and scenic driving opportunities. Pineview Reservoir is a short drive from the campground with boating, fishing and swimming.
