Antelope Island State Park
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.
For large groups: Group reservations for White Rock Bay
Group-Use Campground are made directly through the park at
