Nestled on the west side of the Rocky Mountains, Ogden offers breathtaking views as the sun rises over the peaks each morning. Since traditional parking-lot style RV parks are scarce in Ogden, you may park your RV at one of the lovely parks nearby. - Century Campground and RV Park is located just off Interstate 84, and offers full hookups for RV's, as well as gravel pull-through and back-in sites. The campground also has hot showers, a pool and hot tub, picnic tables, DVD rental and a camp store. While the park has its fair share of tourist business, it also rents to long-timers who stay a year or more, so be sure to call ahead to get information about reservations.
