    Woodruff Narrows Bear Riverside

    Top Spot near Evanston

    Great spot. Easily accessible via a good, easy gravel road. Plenty of spots to choose from. Great view of the lake and the mountains. We really enjoyed the night. We didn't have internet with T-Mobile.

    Squaw Peak Road Dispersed

    A hard way to the Top

    We fought hard to get to the spot. Up to Hood Campground, the road was a normal, winding road. Really great. After that, however, a stretch began that was really only suitable for 4WDs. Rocks, deep ruts, etc. We managed it with the 2WD, but we had to give it our all. There aren't many spots. The spot we found was right on the mountain in the forest, but it wasn't worth the effort. We still enjoyed the night very much. We didn't have an internet connection with T-Online. Apparently, the spot serves the locals as a picnic destination, love nest, or even wedding photo spot until sunset. We had a bit of everything that evening ;)

    Woodruff Narrows Bear Riverside

    Peaceful with lake views

    A 4 mile-ish drive off the main road this site is located right next to the lake and has vault toilets. It was lovely and peaceful and we woke up to a lovely sunrise. Road was easy enough to drive on and is quiet.

    Heber Ranger Station

    Parking Lot Camping

    You can stay at this ranger station up to 14 days. Heber city has a lot to offer. There was a large trash can available but the ranger station was closed due to electrical problems so I don’t know if they allow you to use the bathrooms inside.

    Bountiful B Dispersed

    Popular re recreation area with good camping

    There's 4 fire rings around the coords, probably only 3 actual camp sites. The one fire has trails going all around it. If you continue up the mountain, there's more sites at the top. This whole area seems to be a local atv, dirt bike, mountain bike, and shooting area. Definitely lots of people shooting guns into gulleys during the day. Everybody seemed friendly though. The road up takes about 25 or 30 minutes to get to the coords. Its a bit rough but if you have awd or 4wd its no problem. Great views on the way up and down. I have Verizon and had coverage off and on, its enough to send texts but not much more.

    Echo Island RV Resort

    Great Nite Stay

    Clean, paved shady sites with full hookups. Lots of fun things for kids to do. Friendly staff. Pristine property. The only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars is due to the highway noise, but that made it convenient.

    Willow Park Campground

    Easy to get to, next to River

    We were able to get a spot next to the Jordan River under a beautiful tree. We brought our 16ft camper and didn’t need to back it in or anything. Spot was decently clean except for a leftover watermelon (which the kids gave to a family of ducks that visited the next morning.)

    Nighttime was quiet after about 10pm. Crickets and some frogs serenaded most of the night. No neighbors on a Thursday night.

    Stunning sunrise—perfect views of Mt. Timp.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful spot for overnight

    Stopped here for a scenic spot to relax for the day and overnight.
    Nice level asphalt spots. Beautiful view of the lake. Saw bison and antelope driving in the park

    Middle Fork Conservation Area

    Great spot!

    My family and I were driving through and needed a place to stay for the night. We camped the first night that lot camping was allowed (9/10) so it was quiet and peaceful. It is down a dirt road in a valley surrounded by cattle and deer and elk. Beautiful sunset and moonrise. A local ranger came by to chat and told us it can get busy with local homeless people and drug users, just FYI. But overall we felt completely safe and our neighbors were nice and friendly!
