About Botts Campground
This small campground is located about six miles east of Huntsville, Utah on a curve along the South Fork of the Ogden River. A host is not on-site but can be found at Magpie Campground (west) or South Fork Campground (east). It has been a popular camping spot since the pioneers came to Utah. Although the trees are not thick, they are big and very old. Popular local recreation activities include fishing, hiking, swimming, and tubing down the South Fork Ogden River (a life jacket is required for all tubers). **Nearby Attractions** Causey Reservoir is located approximately five miles east. This scenic reservoir is popular for fishing and swimming. [Site Details and Accessible Features](http://detacc.s4rec.net/?cn=5283.003441)
