Kimball Campground

Make sure to get here early on summer weekends because this place fills up. If you manage to get a spot in a beautiful area next to a river.

I stayed here for three nights (July 7-9 2021) and it was great!! I’m on a road trip to Chicago from California and this was the first place I stayed and I absolutely loved it.

The campsites are hidden but close together which I loved being a solo female traveler it made me feel so safe knowing people were on both sides of me.

The roads are really rough don’t think you’ll be able to do it without 4x4 or awd my Honda CR-V did great!!

One thing though, the camp sites fill up quick my first night was a Wednesday and I got there around 6pm and I found a spot just big enough to park my car for the three nights. It was just off the road and basically no privacy but I was just looking for a safe place to sleep and that’s what I got!

I spent one day exploring salt lake, which is about an hours drive from the campsite. And I spent another day only up near the site, there’s a trail head that leads off to about 3 or 4 different trails I did trail 173 it was 2.5miles and it took you up so you have an amazing elevated view of the mountains and lake and about 2 miles in it leads you to the opposite side of the lake that you drive up next to.

This is blm land so you can stay for free up to 14 days which was a big factor into why I chose to camp here!

Overall I loved it here I totally fell I love with Utah and I can’t wait to stop by on my way home and camp here again!

Oh also if you ride dirt bikes/atvs most of the trails are motor friendly and the lake is a great spot for kayaking!!

These campground spots are hidden within trees up the dirt road just past Silver Lake flats on the dirt road. The dirt road gets rough and rocky, but is driveable. The campsites are beautiful, and within walking distance to the trailhead to hike the 2.2 mile hike up to Silver Lake. Loved camping here, only complaint is the dirt is very chalky and dusty, and keeping your gear clean is not really an option here.
