About

Jefferson Hunt Campground was formerly a developed U.S. Forest Service campground operated by the Ogden Ranger District on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Located along the south shore of Pineview Reservoir approximately 8 miles east of Ogden, Utah, the site once offered primitive camping near the confluence of the Ogden River and Pineview Reservoir. In 2018, the Forest Service completed a decommissioning project for Jefferson Hunt Campground. The decision to decommission was signed on July 16, 2018, and all campground improvements were removed. The project aimed to restore the wetland areas to a more natural state, allowing waters to flow into natural channels and floodplains. The campground is no longer open for public use and camping is not permitted at this location.
