Best Campgrounds near Centerville, UT

Camping options near Centerville, Utah encompass both developed campgrounds and dispersed sites across varying terrain. The Bountiful Peak Campground, situated in the Wasatch National Forest, offers tent and RV sites at higher elevations with forest cover, while Bountiful B Dispersed provides free camping with more primitive conditions. Lagoon RV Park & Campground in nearby Farmington accommodates tents, RVs, and cabin rentals with full hookups, particularly popular due to its proximity to the Lagoon Amusement Park. Additional options include Cherry Hill Campground in Kaysville and several Salt Lake City area campgrounds within 20-30 minutes of Centerville.

Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, with many mountain locations closed during winter months. Bountiful Peak Campground typically opens from June through early September due to its elevation and snow conditions. Access to dispersed camping areas like Bountiful B requires careful navigation on rough forest roads, with several visitors noting the challenging terrain. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with higher reliability near developed sites. "The road up takes about 25 or 30 minutes to get to the coords. It's a bit rough but if you have awd or 4wd it's no problem. Great views on the way up and down," reported one camper about the Bountiful B Dispersed area.

Campers frequently mention the contrast between mountain and valley camping experiences in the area. Mountain sites provide cooler temperatures, scenic views of Salt Lake City lights, and a wilderness feel despite relative proximity to urban areas. RV parks in the valley offer convenience and amenities but tend to be more crowded, especially during summer and amusement park operating seasons. Several visitors highlighted potential wildlife encounters in forest camping areas, with one noting, "Watch out for bears and mountain lions as well and make sure you follow the food rules and lock your cars." The region's mixed-use campgrounds accommodate various camping styles, from fully-equipped RV sites with hookups to primitive tent camping areas with minimal facilities, providing options for different preferences and budgets throughout the Wasatch Front.

    Century RV Park

    Friendly and helpful staff

    Convenient and reasonable. They closed the swimming pool and spa for the winter. The shower was clean.

    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.

    Little Mill

    Our favorite place

    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

    Hailstone - Lower Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Great state park campground

    Convenient location to Park City. Large spacious sites. Nice clean bathrooms. You can hear road noise from highway 40. We got a site without reservation with no problem. Some sites are more level than others. We are enjoying looking at the reservoir from the back of our site. Some construction noise across highway 40 but not too much late on a weekday.
