Miner's Canyon Dispersed

The spots not bad at all. There’s a couple different entrances with various camping/parking areas throughout. Some dirt roads are rough getting back to a spot. Parking across the street as well. Down side is how messy it is. Trash, glass, furniture. We luckily found a decent spot that we cleaned up and stayed at for a few days.

Nice location, great views.It gets a little methy down by the lake overall worth a night

Close to civilization but far enough to get a healthy dose of quiet darkness. The campsites are drive-in and a decent size, far apart from each other, but keep your eyes peeled for deep potholes and broken glass. The few times we’ve stayed here we’ve enjoyed ourselves, but this seems to be a very popular spot; on several occasions we’ve made the 1+ hour drive out here, only to find every single spot taken. It appears that the same campers are out here frequently, and for long periods of time. Would be nice if people would limit their own stays for the consideration of others to enjoy this area as well, instead of treating it like their own personal property.

Great views of the lake and surrounding mountains, but has trash, broken glass and junk everywhere.

Very easy access public land right on Utah Lake. Packed gravel and dirt road going in is lumpy from use but smooths out a bit farther in. Side roads to sites are anyones guess. Some are pretty reasonable, others are like mine fields. Suggest you park on the road and walk in. Many sites are “pull-throughs” so one entrance can be better than the other. Some great spots up the hill but you’ll need high clearance and 4wd. Bugs weren’t bad on this warm mid-September day. Some trash but I’ve been to more formal places with more trash than this. Access to the lake and lots of space to hike. Nice view of lights from the Provo side of the lake at night.

EDIT: Okay I lied. The bugs have infiltrated my tent. I don’t even know how but they have. I can hear the rest of them outside trying to find a way in. I didn’t even have any lights on. I’m scared and itchy and I hate bugs. Come here to watch the sunset and leave.

The sites are trashed. I think people live here full time. You can hear generators running at night and occasional gunshots in the distance (shooting range). There’s giant fly swarms all over that you hear buzzing all night. There’s little to no privacy. I should really give it two or three stars but DAMN is it beautiful. Great sunrise and sunset spot right on the water with the mountains in front and behind you. Plenty of spots you can get to with 2WD. I didn’t venture up the hill because it seems a little more unlikely I’d make it, but like I said, plenty of other spots.

I’m enjoying the views from this spot, it’s flat after a wiggle or two. couple of abandoned tents and people coming and going either for a visit or overnight. The lake isn’t safe to swim or drink from at this time due to algae

I didn't give Miner's Canyon five stars because of the excessive trash dumping that occurs at the sites. Otherwise it is a very enjoyable campsite. Spacious enough that your neighbors are distant, and quiet for the most part. Larger RVs occasionally run generators which can be noisy. The last time I camped there some folks buried their dead cat down by the water access. This seems to be somewhat common as there are two other pet graves located nearby. This dispersed camp is definitely haunted by house pets.

Arrived very late. Very easy to find. Directions brought us right to the location. Road was rough into the sites and were hard to determine specific sites. Ended up pulling into edge of field. Definitely a good quiet night's sleep

Easy drive into the area, paved road up until you turn down toward the lake. Nice gravel road for the next half mile. 6 other RVs here when I stopped on June 20th.

A little loud from the generators but sound of waves from the lake help drown it out.

Some established fire pits. Overall the place was clean and felt safe.

Lots of spots to camp. 3 bars verizon. Very quiet. There were about 30 other campers and it was very quiet.

This is a beautiful lakeside camp site ruined by people who dump their trash on the side of camp and throw glass bottles everywhere. It might not be bad if you're secluded inside a plush RV, but it's definitely not a place you walk around with kids.

There are plenty of camp sites here so it's best to have an off-road capable vehicle that will take you away from most of the mess. The trails look like hard and rocky, but it's soft dirt so be careful of getting stuck in places with deep muddy ruts.

On a Tuesday night in October, it was nice and quiet. No bugs or high winds, although I'd recommend checking the weather forecast beforehand. There's nothing to protect you from the wind here.

This place has so much potential. The general public has almost ruined it by littering and not policing their sites before leaving. Many vehicles in and out just joyriding and sightseeing. Stickers and cuckleburs are everywhere. The beach is overgrown and stinks like dead people and fish. Wind gusts are unbearable for shade awnings and our popup was scary here.

Good for drivables and million dollar busses.

Amazing views! Glorious! Quiet! No road noise!

However, we remained in our RV most of the time as the flying insects (larger than mosquitos, but not sure what they are) were MANY! (It is right by the lake!)

It is glorious here though! Perfect temps in May! Incredible views! So grateful! Amen.

A great little spot nearby that is relatively clean. Fun to watch paragliders and paramotors in the evenings and mornings.

We arrived at a campsite and there are posted no tresspassing signs

Be warned

I stayed here 2 nights while skiing Brighton and snowbird. About an hour from the mountains and a beautiful site. Little to no privacy and no bathrooms but this place has a sunrise that will make you not want to leave. Good for low clearance vehicles.

Stay a few nights here, AT&T service isn’t the best but it’s usable for browsing. T-Mobile service a little better, if you work remote then you could probably get away with it. Decent amount of traffic going in and out during the day. Quite a few fire pits spread throughout.

Great option just south of salt lake. The lake and Mountain View are beautiful! Pretty flat, the road in is fairly easy. There are about 8 sites along the main stretch with some other roads leading up hills, not sure what’s up there though. Some ppl potentially pushing the 14 day limit but no one gave me trouble or weird looks. No trees so not much privacy, the days I was there was super windy.

With 5th wheel, took a couple sites before we were happy. Landed with large windows facing lake, lovely.

Starlink is a little slower, but maybe cos I am roaming. 60 meg down, 7 or 8 meg up. Visible and Verizon pretty good

No facilities, but we’re self contained

The view is gorgeous in the mornings and evenings. Watching the paragliders on the weekends is cool as well. No bathrooms anywhere its as roughing it as it can get. And the wind sometimes is fierce and relentless

I love this spot. It's easy to get to and there are plenty of spots for everyone. It's very open so there's not much privacy, nor are there bathrooms. But it's beautiful at sunset and I will be staying here every time I'm traveling through the area. Only 40 minutes from SLC!

Fun little place. Well known judging by the number of people camping there. Overall fairly quiet and enjoyable evening. Paragliders in the morning were fun to watch.

Simple primitive camping, a few spots for rv and trailers to pull through, good amount of area to pitch a tent. Rock fire rings, not too far from town. Pretty quiet, some road noise. Fantastic lake and mountain views.

Spent a few nights there, easy access to Saratoga Springs for water, dump, and groceries. Sites were fairly level, but there were some instances of trash and broken glass so be wary when dropping your RV or camper. Would stay again!
