    Bountiful B Dispersed camping area permits pets at all its free sites located northwest of Centerville. This area offers a more rustic camping experience with no drinking water, electricity, or bathroom facilities, but provides fire rings at most sites. Rough roads lead to camp spots scattered across the hillsides, where campers have room to spread out with their dogs. Sites accommodate both tents and smaller RVs, with enough space for dogs to explore on-leash. Sheriff patrols regularly monitor the area for safety. Campers report finding beautiful flat areas with a seasonal creek in spring, though some sites contain litter requiring caution with pets. The Dyrt includes reviews of campgrounds near Centerville, Utah.

    Farmington Canyon access leads to Bountiful Peak Campground where leashed pets are welcome among the shaded sites. The campground operates seasonally from June 30 to September 3, with toilets but no showers available. Wildlife sightings are common in the surrounding forest, so pets should remain secure at campsites and on trails. The steep, narrow access road requires 4WD or AWD vehicles according to visitor reports. Some campers appreciate the beautiful wildflowers and small ponds perfect for dog cooling during summer hikes. The Forest Service requires visitors bring cash or check for payment as scan-and-pay systems are not available. For RV travelers with pets, Lagoon RV Park provides full hookups and grassy sites, though it gets crowded during amusement park operating hours.

      Lakeside RV Campground

      Cute RV park close to lake Utah

      This place is very cute for established camping. It has lots of trees and a nice little walking trail. They are pet friendly. They have men's and women's restrooms with showers. They also have a pool for the warmer months. There are 2 small dog parks one for large and one for small dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

      We stayed in a back in spot which was very spacious and we had a good distance from our neighbor.

      They have designated tent camping area. If you are tent camping they do not allow you to have pets.

      Only downside is you are directly next to the Provo airport which did get active around 6 am.

      RV Heaven

      My god-father and mother come into town yearly and stay at this location in their 5th wheel. The facility is spotless! Seriously, the staff keep the entire grounds in great condition. There are dozens and dozens of spots that fit just about any size RV or 5th wheel. Every spot has water and electric hookups, picnic tables, and enough grass space to setup pet pens.

      There are several different amenities including a pool, playground for the kids, life-size chessboard, and a mini-breed dog park!

      Very New

      It is a lovely place. Nice patch of grass at the site. River and walking trail just steps away from all sites. Would be nice if the dog park was finished. There are other amenities that are planned to be available, but are not available yet. It is a very pretty place with the mountain backdrop. Lovely sunrises and sunsets. Beautiful.

      Salt Lake City KOA Holiday

      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.

      Sun Outdoors North Salt Lake

      Really tight

      I am comparing this campground to Valley View RV park in Layton since we were there for a week before we stayed here- there is a stark difference for the exact same price. The sites at Sun Outdoors are extremely tight, the grounds themselves are not nearly as well maintained- dog park while bigger is just stone and not well maintained- smaller dog park mostly weeds.

      Riverside RV Resort

      Nice and new

      The place was nice and new. There is a dog park area and access to a trail which runs along the river. There is a lot of noise from the interstate and the nearby Air Force base. The only issue we had was that the street lights in the resort were super bright at night. We're glad there wasn't one above our spot!

      Mountain Valley RV Resort

      Friendly and immaculate

      This spacious RV park has two pools (one limited to adults only), two dog parks (one large enough for big dogs to run and fetch), two sets of pickle ball courts and is spacious and level and nice/ oh, my.

      The staff are friendly and lead you to your RV site (and actually collected and filled and delivered our propane tanks). They have a few cabins but are mostly laid out for newer RVs. They ask the age and type when making reservations. Good Sam discounts apply. This is a very nice “the only 5 star “ RV Park in Utah.

      Mountain Valley RV Resort

      Mountain Valley RV Resort, Utah

      One of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.

      They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.

      Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.

    Guide to Centerville

    Dispersed camping options near Centerville, Utah offer alternatives to established campgrounds with varying levels of accessibility. The Bountiful B Dispersed area sits at approximately 6,000 feet elevation northwest of Centerville, with access roads that can become muddy after rain or snow. The surrounding Wasatch Mountains provide a backdrop for camping experiences between April and October when weather conditions permit vehicle access.

    What to do

    Splash pad access: Cherry Hill Campground provides families with pet-friendly camping close to water features. "The staff here are awesome. And the camp has a lot to offer," notes one camper at Salt Lake City KOA, which offers similar water amenities during summer months.

    Riverside hiking: Trails along the Weber River provide exercise opportunities for both humans and pets. "There is a walking trail that runs along the Weber river and a dog run on the eastern part of the property," according to a visitor at Riverside RV Resort. The trail system connects multiple camping areas with natural features.

    Wildlife viewing: Antelope Island State Park offers opportunities to observe free-ranging animals. "The bison are free grazing all around and a few came right up to our campground in the early morning! There are plenty of hiking trails to choose from with varying skill levels," reports a visitor to Bridger Bay Campground.

    What campers like

    Mountain access: Higher elevation camping provides cooler temperatures in summer months. "Really nice campground in such a beautiful Canyon. Good size camping spots and standard bathrooms. Great fire pits too," reports a visitor to Bountiful Peak Campground. Most visitors note the temperature difference between valley and mountain sites.

    River proximity: Water access ranks high among camper preferences. "Just South of Ogden with all your city amenities but tucked away in a quiet river setting. Lots of space, Full hookups and nice landscaping," writes a reviewer of Riverside RV Resort. Several campgrounds offer water features or river access.

    Dog play areas: Designated pet spaces receive positive mentions. "Nice amenities (hot tub/clean bathrooms/showers/dog park/trash/laundry). The truck/tent stalls have nice tall shrubs dividing them for extra privacy," notes a visitor to Salt Lake City KOA. Most established campgrounds provide pet exercise areas.

    What you should know

    Road conditions: Access to mountain dispersed camping requires appropriate vehicles. "If you've never driven up Farmington Canyon it is a steep road with no shoulder, I'd recommend a 4X4 or all wheel drive vehicle," advises a visitor to Bountiful Peak Campground. Roads can deteriorate after rainfall.

    Noise factors: Urban-adjacent campgrounds experience transportation noise. "Even though this campground was tight & busy, it was incredibly quiet and peaceful," reports one camper at Riverside RV Resort, while another notes: "There is a lot of noise from the interstate and the nearby Air Force base."

    Site spacing: Established campgrounds vary in site density. "Sites are asphalt and VERY long & level—with a strip of grass and some rock gravel," notes a Riverside RV Resort camper, while at Pony Express RV Resort, "The sites were very tight."
