About

Monte Cristo Campground

Monte Cristo Campground is located 30 miles east of Huntsville, Utah. This campground is at the highest elevation in the Ogden District at 9,000 feet. Individual campsites are surrounded by spruce and Douglas fir stands, adding their fresh scent to the clear, cool air. Visitors enjoy exploring the local trails via hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle riding. (Horses are not allowed within the campground and you must trailer your ATV one mile or more). The drive along scenic Highway 39 through wildflower-filled meadows and beautiful forests is spectacular. Summer wildflowers are plentiful and autumn leaves put on a spectacular show. Sugar Pine Creek is nearby. This campground has sites that remain open through the elk and deer hunting season.
