Best Campgrounds near Lehi, UT

1,361 Reviews

Camping options near Lehi, Utah range from established campgrounds to dispersed sites, with several facilities situated within a 30-mile radius of the city. Willow Park Campground in Lehi offers accessible tent and RV camping along the Jordan River, while Granite Flat and Little Mill campgrounds in the nearby Provo Canyon provide more mountain-oriented experiences. The area accommodates various camping styles including tent sites, RV spaces with hookups, and limited glamping opportunities at select locations like Tanners Flat campground near Sandy.

Road access varies significantly by campground, with many sites requiring advance reservations during the peak season from May through September. Most developed campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, with closures typically occurring between October and April due to mountain snow conditions and facility maintenance. "This is a great place to camp within the city of Lehi. It is close to the water and in the hot summer it is a fun spot for a night get away," noted one visitor about Willow Park. Terrain ranges from valley floor locations near Utah Lake to higher elevation mountain campgrounds in American Fork and Provo Canyons, where temperatures remain cooler even during summer months. Cell service is generally available at lower elevation campgrounds but becomes unreliable in canyon areas.

Campers report mixed experiences regarding amenities and comfort at local campgrounds. Sites closest to Lehi tend to offer more convenient access to urban amenities while providing less privacy between camping areas. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, Willow Park receives praise for clean facilities and river access but criticism for limited shade and proximity to neighbors. "Very friendly management! Really helpful finding us a spot on a busy Friday. Spots are large enough and with a firepit/BBQ and picnic table," reported a visitor about Willow Park. Several campgrounds provide fire pits, picnic tables, and access to drinking water, though amenities vary considerably between developed and dispersed camping areas. The Flight Park State Recreation Area offers dispersed camping options with mountain views but receives mixed reviews due to consistently windy conditions that make tent camping challenging.

    Soapstone Basin Dispersed Camping

    Soapstone Basin, Uinta Mountains – A Wild, Beautiful Reminder of Respect for the Land

    We escaped the chaos of a music festival and ran straight into the mountains—landing at Soapstone Basin for one unforgettable night. We didn’t realize a storm was closing in until the clouds surrounded us. You can reach the area without four-wheel drive if roads are dry, but if weather’s coming, trust me—bring it.

    The views are unreal, and the quiet is almost otherworldly. This is hunting land, so you’ll occasionally hear distant gunfire, but safety rules are well respected. We had a storm roll through—trees cracked all night, rain turned to snow, and we woke up under 3–4 inches of it. Freezing, beautiful, and absolutely still.

    There is absolutely no service out here, so plan ahead—know the weather, download maps, and bring a way to communicate in an emergency. We were likely the only tent campers in sight—everyone else had trailers or ATVs—but with experience and good gear, tent camping here is magic. A tree-clearing crew passed through the next morning, another reminder of how well this land is cared for.

    Places like Soapstone are a privilege. They feel sacred, untouched, and peaceful. If you come, honor it—keep it clean, quiet, and respectful. That’s exactly how we found it, and that’s exactly how it should stay.

    Springville / Provo KOA Holiday

    KOA

    Well it's your topical RV resort. It doesn't have a fire ring and it's by train tracks and a freeway. Also, your packed in like sardines. However, it will do for overnight. I have to say it is clean and kept up well. But if you're into private camping with space, this isn't for you.

    Fox Den Campground — Deer Creek State Park

    Beautiful uncrowded campground

    We stopped here after leaving Salt Lake City. It is mid October so the campground is mostly empty. We were able to get our pick of sites. Beautiful views of water and the mountains. Super nice bathrooms that look brand new. Not much hiking right here but close enough to the Alpine Loop to Sundance with hiking along the way. Not far from a bike path along the Provo River. Only a few minutes into Midway with many restaurants to choose from.

    Salt Lake City KOA

    Urban campground convenient to SLC

    We wanted to explore Salt Lake City so decided to stay at this downtown KOA. It is a large and crowded RV park but right on a Transit line (UTA light rail Trax) and biking distance to downtown. The facilities are older but clean. Standard Holiday amenities like pool, dog park, dog wash, basketball court. We’d stay again if I wanted to be close to downtown.

    Valley View RV Resort

    Newer place with some nice ammenities

    Nice RV Resort with many amenities including pool, hot tub, outdoor fire pit, pickleball courts. Friendly staff. Laundry machines are limited given the size of the park. Also showers are inexplicably small. Bathrooms with toilet, sink, shower are adequate size but the showers are quite small (and I am not a large person). Paved sites but not level. I’d stay again but perhaps do my laundry somewhere else on the way in.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful remote campground

    The positives: a beautiful remote spot with huge spaces between campsites. Gorgeous views of the Great Salt Lake. Right now there is no water on the island due to construction at the visitors center. The visitors center is closed though there is a temporary one. One other detractor is the mosquitoes here. We were out at dusk locking our bikes and were swarmed by them!! It has been very windy here. Don’t know if that is usual or a temporary weather thing due to remnants of a Pacific hurricane. If you are looking for solitude without backpacking into the mountains the primitive loop at Bridger Bay campground could be your thing. Nice place to bike also if it weren’t for the wind.

    Our family adores this location. Great staff, clean toilets, stunning camping areas near the river, some directly on it! Spot 10 was great for our 33ft rig. We will be back Little Mill! Love you

    Valley View RV Resort

    Stunning views and the sound of freedom

    We’ve stayed here several times and have to say the vibes are patriotic and welcoming. The Air Force base and surrounding mountains feel like you’re in a Top Gun movie. Clean bathrooms, clean pool and spa, super cool staff, and my kids had a blast making memories. Thanks Valley View - Claire
