Best Campgrounds near Price, UT

472 Reviews

The landscape surrounding Price, Utah encompasses a diverse range of camping environments from developed RV parks to remote dispersed sites on public lands. Castle Gate RV Park in nearby Helper offers full hookups, cabins, and tent sites along the Price River, while Price Canyon Recreation Area provides more rustic camping at higher elevations. Several free dispersed camping options exist on BLM land, including Horse Canyon Road Dispersed Area and Bull Mesa Pullout, where campers can find primitive sites without amenities. The region balances accessibility with remoteness, allowing visitors to choose between established campgrounds with facilities or more secluded backcountry experiences within a short drive of town.

Road conditions vary significantly throughout the area, with some dispersed sites requiring high-clearance vehicles to access. As one camper noted about Price Canyon Recreation Area, "This campground was at the top of Price Canyon but the access road is a single lane switchback road with the last quarter mile being easy dirt road, so longer trailers may have a few challenges." Seasonal considerations affect water availability, with some campgrounds shutting off water systems during winter months. Summer temperatures can be extreme at lower elevations, while higher elevation sites offer cooler conditions. Fire restrictions are common during dry periods, particularly in dispersed camping areas where vegetation is sparse.

Canyon views and riverside camping spots receive consistently positive reviews from visitors. At Castle Gate RV Park, campers appreciate the setting, with one visitor noting, "This place is between high cliffs on the Price River. I was worried about train noise but those were totally unfounded worries." The area's proximity to outdoor recreation is another highlight, with multiple campgrounds serving as convenient bases for mountain biking, fishing, and OHV riding on nearby trails. Dispersed camping areas like Horse Canyon Road offer solitude and stargazing opportunities, with one camper reporting, "Beautiful views for as far as you can see and we had a perfectly clear night." Wildlife sightings are common throughout the region, adding to the camping experience.

    Mud Creek Campground

    Very good dispersed camping

    This is a very large area where there may be a hundred people camping but there's still plenty of room for 100 more. It's open and yet the forest is right next to you. There are Forest roads that go up into the mountains that are great

    Skyline Drive

    Skyline dr

    It was a beautiful spot, I drove past the 4 by the river and turned around and got the 3rd one. Not many people until around 9 to 1130 about 50 different cars left on the road, I don’t know if there’s ohv trails or what.

    Sheep Creek Dispersed Camping Area

    Gets the job done

    Close to the highway for an overnight stop. Crowded, no facilities or privacy. Basically a field that everyone is camping in.

    Be wary that when it rains, this field turns into a super slick and deep mud.

    Esquire Estates Mobile Home and RV Park

    Beautiful Park, very scenic and quiet

    We love going to this Park in Castle Dale.  Castle Dale has so much to offer us because we have 3 kids and there is so much to do in the area.  Our kids are 9, 7 and 3 1/2 so it makes things very convenient and easy for us to go there and we can rent ATV's locally as well and there is a lot of close by site seeing.  

    The park has a new owner and they have been consistently improving the parks.  We were there about a month ago and they just opened up the laundry facility and club house, I hear they are going to add a dog park , provide propane sales and even have charging stations for EVs.  Love that they are making these improvements shows that they really care

    Buckhorn Draw Wickiup Site Dispersed Camp

    Very nice…very open

    This spot was much easier to find off I-70 since it’s associated with an exit. No gates to find. It was still 98 degrees at 8pm when I stopped, but no humidity and totally tolerable. Had the place to myself. Would absolutely stop here again.

    Spanish Fork River Park

    I really like this place

    This is our second visit to this park. We really like it here. The park is clean with partial hookups with electricity and water (no sewer or cable.) most spots along the Spanish Fork River (really a small creek in August) are shaded in the afternoon. But this is Utah in the heat... Bring your own air conditioning.

    We are here mid-week. It is very quiet and peaceful except for the occasional train. If you like that sort of thing you will like it here.

    It is very close (10 minutes) to shopping including Costco and Walmart, good food like In-n-Out, Five Guys, and Longhorn Steak House.

    It really is a perfect place to resupply and still feel like you haven't left nature.

    Canyon Rd Dispersed

    Convenient Rest Stop

    Convenient overnight spot — Close to town and a gas station, making it a great choice for a quick stop. You can hear some road noise, but it's not too disruptive. Easy in-and-out access. Full cell reception at the top of the hill; none at the lower area. Perfect for a one-night stay.

    LZJ Ranch's Hiawatha Hideout!

    Beautiful views

    A nice secluded getaway. A little harder for big rigs to get in, but once you're parked, it's quiet and breathtaking. Spaced out enough from neighbors to not really need to interact if you choose not to
