Where the Great Salt Lake's western shore meets open rangeland, Lakeside Beach operates as a free camping area under state land management. The campground allows campfires, pets, and alcohol, with both drive-in and walk-in access available. However, access routes may prove challenging to locate, as one recent visitor reported difficulty finding the site despite GPS coordinates.
The remote location sits roughly 29 miles from Hooper, positioning campers in expansive salt flat terrain with minimal development. For those planning trips in the region, campgrounds around Great Salt Lake provide additional options with clearer access routes.
