Beautiful location, but bring everything you might need

I have a small SUV, so I buy firewood and fill up water containers after I've set up camp. I usually expect a decent drive to find what I need, but this involved a very long drive down a rutted gravel road, out of the canyon, and back to Grantsville. I think it was 40 minutes each way.

The campground itself was lovely. Very peaceful, good distance between sites. The camp host was really nice. We lent him a towel on the way in so he could wrap up an injured bird he'd found. I only pack old raggedy towels for camping anyway, but he was so appreciative and came back a couple times to give us updates on the bird (happy ending: its broken lower beak can be replaced with a prosthetic) and free samples of this chocolate filled marshmallow someone dropped off by the pallet load for them to distribute.

We were with a bunch of kids, so we only checked out one part of the Medina trail, but it was beautiful, with lovely views.

I would definitely camp here again, but pack more efficiently so I could do it all in one trip. The four stars is less about the campground and more the state website's lack of clarity ("no water" can mean there's water just at the entrance to the park, or it can mean something more like this).

Great Views of Deseret Peak at the End of the Road CG

A wonderful place to set up camp for a week for a week or to use as a basecamp to climb the high peaks that surround the terminus of the South Willow Canyon road! On the way into the campground you get a great view of the rugged 11,000 foot Deseret Peak that looms over the campsites. While you can't really see it from most of the campgrounds, the serenity afforded by the trees and distance between the sites is more than enough to satisfy most outdoors people. For those that want to get a little closer to the peak, there is a 7 mile one way trail to the top of Deseret Peak that offers amazing views of the Great Salt Lake Valley!You can see all the way to the northern end of the lake as well as beyond the Bonneville Salt Flats into Nevada.

As for the campground itself it is fairly primitive and is very much like all of the other campgrounds in the canyon. It is however a little bit larger, having 12 single sites for $15 and a double site for $31. Like the other campgrounds you also need to bring your own water and trash bags as those amenities are not supplied. There are fire rings and picnic tables at every campsite and enough room for 1 car to park off of the dirt road. Another thing that is a little unique about this campground is that the stay limit is 7 days instead of the usually 14 that I see at most places
