Great Horned Owl Campground — Deer Creek State Park
Expensive but reservoir access
I tent camped in the Great Horned Owl section which does not have hookups, though other sections did for a higher price. There were RVs in the same section and that blocked the views for a lot of the tent sites. I was charged an additional $15 just to have an additional car which I thought was pretty crazy. There are warm showers and reservoir access for boats included (I took my paddle board out and the water was pretty rough but fun) but $40 is a lot for a tent site this close to neighbors with generators who block the views.

Great campground, but pricey
Nice campground with plenty of group and individual sites. They have single, double, and group campgrounds. I camped in a tent spot (48) and had a ton of privacy.
No first come first sites, however, 4 days before all sites become fcfs if not taken.
Nice flush toilet bathroom. Gates close at 10 pm
Jeane L.GuideGreat Horned Owl Campground — Deer Creek State Park
Pretty area, better for trailers and RV
The area is so pretty! We tent camped in the Great Horned Owl loop and it was a well kept and tidy. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The sites are a bit close together but that could be a bonus for small groups that want to be near to each other. The day use parking lot is adjacent to sites 20 and 21. Read the descriptions when you book if you are tent camping, not all the sites are suitable for it. Site 20 was okay, but our tent ended up having to be on slight slope. We might try site 4 when the weather is cooler since it was a little more flat for tent camping, but it didn’t have much shade. The flush bathrooms were clean and the showers warm and convenient.

Chokecherry Campground — Deer Creek State Park
It is what it is.
Nothing special. RV park type camp ground. Tent sites right on top of each other. Expect people walking though your site all day.

Would Recommend!!!
(& have recommended!) The staff here was incredibly nice and accommodating. We tent camped right on the river and had a fire in the firepit! Easy access to VERY clean/nice restrooms. We would camp here again!

Willows Campground (Ut) — Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest
Beautiful view but that's about it
Beautiful view but the tent sites are small and right next to the road. The bathrooms were not being maintained, the smell spread across the campsite.

Nice weekend getaway
Beautiful campground, lots of trees and privacy. However, you can’t bring big rigs there only smaller trailers or tent camping. Very close to Tibble Fork Reservoir where there’s great fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. You can swim too, but the water is pretty cold.

Lower Meadows Campground — Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest
Great Tent Sites
Great tent sites, large & clean. Campground hosts take pride & keep everything tidy. Neighbors can be noisy during quiet hours, but that is no fault other than immature college kids.

Great Salt Lake State Park Campground
Sunrise on the beach!!!
We tent camped on the beach and loved it all from the oolitic sand to the absolutely insane sunrise view from the window of the tent! On the north side you see the lake and the south side you see the Rio Tinto smelter it’s a really cool dynamic. We have enjoyed our stay

Bathroom issues
Gorgeous drive up to a gorgeous campground. Our site was pretty small. I would not recommend camping here unless you have an RV with a bathroom. There were so many flies in the bathroom that they coated the walls. Since I was tent camping, I did not bother to unpack. It was horrific.

Twin Coves — Rockport State Park
Nice Campground
Campground was clean and had vault toilets. Water spicket was available but no showers (I believe there were only showers at the entrance of the park). Be aware that there are tons of bugs here, an overwhelming amount. Pack your bug spray if you’re tent camping!! Amazing views of the lake, beautiful birds, and the weather was phenomenal. Happy trails!

Park City RV Resort
Exceptional
Hot tub! POOL! This place is amazing. I recommend the lower spots, G and H or tent campsites as they are farther from the road. There’s a nice creek down there and still close bathrooms with shower.

Echo State Park Campground
Very nice lakeside camping
New, clean, pretty campground. Some things to know:
- All the sites are RV sites. There are currently no tent sites. Plenty of room to put up a tent, which we did.
- I 80 is across the lake and you will hear trucks at night.
- Crazy amount of bugs. No mosquitoes as others have reported, just lake bugs that like your lights.

Keetley Campground — Jordanelle State Park
Great views for the family and pets!
This is a hike in area of camping. Luckily the park provides free wagons so that you can pack up and hike to your area. The hike is about a quarter mile to the general area where there are lots. This area is tent camping only. The views are great and the water is great! It is dog friendly with a leash. Each lot has a paved area with a picnic bench and fire pit. Really enjoyed this place!

Mount Timpanogos Campground
A cool getaway
Sites are small and primarily tent sites. There are a couple sites which would accommodate a small 16 ft trailer. We had to unhook and park diagonal to fit small trailer and short truck.
We didn't spend much time during the day as we were visiting relatives near Provo and enjoyed the cooler getaway in the evening.
The drive up here was beautiful and the hiking trails probably have amazing views.

Passing Through, glad I stopped.
Stayed overnight while passing through. Super clean park, bathrooms were very clean and well lit. I got a tent site with electric hook up, spot is long so you have plenty of space along with a small grill. No fire ring rings at the spots due to closeness but there is a community place for fires with firewood. Was able to check in at any time and it was super easy. Saw a double rainbow when I woke up haha perfect.

Phillips RV Park
Not a place to tent camp
I've camped 3 times in the last three years at this campground and it has gotten progressively worse since my first visit in 2021. My last stay in early August 2023 was the worst. I had to spend 5 minutes cleaning up dog poop out of my assigned site before I could carefully pitch my tent in a cleared area. The bathrooms were dirty and the WiFi didn't work at my site. The "benefit" of being close to I-80 is outweighed by the constant noise of traffic from both the interstate and a service road which runs right past the tent sites.

Little Mill
The perfect wooded campground!
We LOVED Little Mill! It’s the perfect campground. It has the smell of pine trees, a babbling brook, and it is just down the road from Timpanogos Cave National Monument. What more could a camper want?
We had a great tent site that was on the side near the mountain and across from us were campsites next to the road and the river. We did not hear any road noise at all, just the sound of wind in the trees and the water flowing. It was so peaceful!

Willow Creek — Willard Bay State Park
Pricy and awkward
We we staying in a tent site. All of the potable water was still shut off. When we were booking the site all of them were taken but when we arrived there were only 3 campers. Lots of bugs. We changed our site to a full hookup site in the south marina which is even more awkward. It is a parking lot with hook ups. No privacy. We stayed one night and then opted to stay at a near by KOA and just ate the cost of the state campground. Would not stay here again.

Next to the road
The tents sites are along side the busy road so it got pretty noisy. But there is an amazing Mexican restaurant right next to the campground.

Lagoon RV Park & Campground
Convenient Park With Everything You Need
The Lagoon RV Park has a lot to offer from tent sites to huge pull throughs for the biggest rigs. Right next door to the Lagoon Amusement Park, it is super convenient. Lots of grass and some decent space between sites. We stayed during the Halloween Fright weekend and from Wednesday to Friday at around 2pm, we were about the only ones there. Then the place exploded with campers and by 7pm the place was full. Nice bike and hike trails near by. Close to Salt Lake city. Don't miss the Big Cottonwood Canyon Drive up to Park City. Amazing.
