Description

The largest island in the Great Salt Lake is reached via a narrow road spanning seven miles from mainland to island. A visitor center orients guests with the biology, geology, history, and backcountry trail system. The Historic Fielding Garr Ranch, located at the southeast end of the island is open year-round. Antelope Island is home to a herd of 600 American bison. Island rangelands and shorelines are also home to antelope, deer, coyotes, bighorn sheep, shorebirds, and waterfowl. Visitors may enjoy saltwater bathing, bird watching, camping, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, visiting historical sites, and photography.

This year-round campground is located on the northwest shore of Antelope Island - an ideal spot for viewing sunsets over the Great Salt Lake. The campground is a primitive area with pit toilets and no shower facilities. Modern facilities, including hot showers and drinking water are located at the day-use area, approximately one-half mile away.
