    Canyon View RV Park

    Just a parking lot, but in a beautiful park/awesome walk/bike trail!

    First come, first serve, dump station on site(back of parking lot), friendly camphost; great access to an awesome bike/walk trail, close to town& Walmart 

    SITE: Water and Electricity only and all amenities worked great. All sites are back in and spaced in a large parking lot. Picnic table per site in the shade under the trees by your site; level site; all concrete; the sites are close together, but it wasn't full so the RVers thoughtfully spaced out from each other; full sun

    CELL SERVICE: AT&T worked great- not all bars but it worked well for use working remote and no issues with video calls using our hotspot. 

    OTHER: Located on the edge of Canyon View Park. The park had just closed as they prep for their annual Christmas light show, but you could still walk on the trail through the park to access the main bike/walk trail which was awesome and goes on for many miles! We loved using this everyday we were there. Bathroom in the park was really clean. Dump station is in the parking lot(super convenient) on the back side. It was super gusty, windy at night and consistent every night from about 11pm- 10am. Maybe it's just seasonal? Make sure your awning is in!

    Washington Lake Campground

    A very popular, family friendly, beautiful campground.

    We stayed for 7 nights (the limit) in August of 2023. It's all paved, asphalt road and concrete pad for picnic table. Very beautiful setting with the large lake and mountains surrounding. Fishing-yes! Hand powered boating, hiking trails and lots of other lakes to explore. 

    There no water available but you can fill your RV, Trailer or whatever at the entrance to the Lost Creek CG which is about 3 miles east on Hwy 150. No Dump station, nearest being in Kamas.

    Seems to be a popular place for local (SLC) families to gather. Family friendly so lots of kids. Quiet time 10PM to 6AM.

    Dry Hollow Campground — Echo State Park

    Right by the lake

    We are at a spot that is on a cement loop (#1) which was unlevel and it is not next to the lake but closer to the road (which is not too busy) but a view of the lake. You get a nice covered pavilion with a steel picnic table and fire ring with grate for grilling. The camp host was very sweet. Most of the sites are pull through and accommodates big rigs very well. The park managers keep it clean.

    Chokecherry Campground — Deer Creek State Park

    Decent state park

    Camped here last minute while driving through. Well-run, easy check in, reasonably priced.

    There are both primitive tent and RV sites with hookups. Small to large sites, back-in and a few pull through. Lots of trees and lilac bushes offer some privacy.

    Fire rings, plus BBQ grills, picnic tables at each site. Centrally located bathrooms were clean. Water, trash and dump station by entrance.

    The campground is on an incline so there are decent views of the reservoir from just about anywhere and the mountain backdrop to the east. Small but clean beach. There was also ziplining and kayak rentals at the state park but both were closed due to COVID.

    Would camp here again.

    Lodgepole Campground

    Lodgepole Campground - Group Site B

    Nice basic campground just coming out of Heber City, UT on your way to Strawberry Reservoir. This is a fairly large campground with numerous sites. The group site parking was shallow. We could barely fit our 19 ft travel trailer and our truck. Outside of the group site it appears there are deeper sites that could accommodate a long fifth wheel. Parking space is wide enough to park another car next to trailer. There are a few tent sites as around the group site pavilion.

    No hookups for RV’s. Dump station on site for $10 fee. RV spots are back in only. There is running water and flushable toilets on site; however, the water line was under repair and not turned on during our stay. It sounds like the repairs have been going on for a long time.

    There is cellular service, but it’s a little slow. I have sprint carrier and had service.

    Negatives: The campground is close a highway incline/decline which is frequented by Semi’s which bring lots of noise to the campground throughout the day and into the night.

    Stinging Nettle: lots of stinging nettle located around group site B, so stay on the paths as much as possible.

    Hill AFB FamCamp

    Cute little spot

    Great amenities, dog park, showers, laundry. Stayed here long term a couple times and it’s always a great stay! Close to the park, splash pad, and track. Hosts are pleasant. A little close together but good for being on base.


Guide to Cottonwood Heights

Cottonwood Heights RV options range from suburban parks with city access to mountain resorts with outdoor activities. Most full-hookup sites accommodate large rigs with 50-amp service, though advance booking is essential during summer and fall weekends. The area's elevation of 4,400 feet provides moderate summer temperatures, typically 10-15°F cooler than Salt Lake Valley floor temperatures during peak months.

What to do

River access fishing spots: The Echo Island RV Resort in Coalville offers fishing opportunities on their property. "Beautiful setting on two small rivers with shade. Full hookups, spacious sites," notes Paul Y., who appreciated the outdoor recreation options alongside camping amenities.

Trail systems for walking/biking: Park City RV Resort provides direct access to paved trails. "You have direct access to the bike path that leads directly into Old Town Park City and links you with lots of other trails," reports Kristin S., who found the location ideal for exploring without driving.

Winter skiing proximity: Several rv parks near Cottonwood Heights, Utah provide convenient access to ski resorts. Located within 20-30 minutes of multiple ski areas, these parks offer winter camping for those seeking slope access. "You can see some of the ski slopes from the park," mentions Jennifer H. about the Park City location's winter appeal.

What campers like

Swimming pool options: Lakeside RV Campground near Provo offers water recreation beyond hookups. "Pull through sites with grass between. Pool was very nice. Cute little store," shares Denise P., highlighting amenities that enhance summer stays when temperatures rise.

Adult-only sections: Some rv accommodations near Cottonwood Heights feature dedicated areas for mature travelers. "There is a section that is for adults 21 and older where children are not allowed," notes Sheila B. about Mountain Valley RV Resort, providing options for different camping preferences.

Pet-friendly facilities: Many parks accommodate four-legged travelers with designated spaces. "Big beautiful dog run area with a waterfall. This would be a great long term or a it's a very easy on off expressway stop," reports Donna H., describing specialized pet amenities that go beyond basic acceptance policies.

What you should know

Road noise considerations: Interstate proximity affects sound levels at several parks. "There is a lot of noise from the interstate and the nearby Air Force base," warns Brian about Riverside RV Resort, suggesting noise-sensitive travelers select interior sites away from highways.

Reservation requirements: Summer demand requires advance planning, especially for weekend stays. "Reserved a few hours before arriving on a Sunday in June and there were plenty of spots," mentions Mike A. about Echo Island RV Resort, though this experience is uncommon during peak periods.

WiFi reliability varies: Internet quality fluctuates between parks and even within the same facility. "Wifi and cable. Nice play area. Bikes available including kid sized," notes Janet H. about Pony Express RV Resort, though other reviewers at different parks report connectivity challenges.

Tips for camping with families

Activity options: Lagoon RV Park & Campground offers unique proximity to amusement attractions. "Right next door to the Lagoon Amusement Park, it is super convenient. Lots of grass and some decent space between sites," explains Sam S., making it suitable for families seeking entertainment beyond standard camping.

Playground facilities: Many parks offer dedicated children's areas with equipment. "Very clean and well kept. Flat, level parking spots - many pull-throughs. Very quiet," Brian C. shares about Pony Express RV Resort, where playground access provides entertainment for younger campers.

Swimming access for children: Multiple pools at some resorts accommodate different age groups. "This campground is clean, well laid out and very well kept... There are three pools, three shower houses, and three laundry rooms. This is a great place for kids," Sheila B. explains about Mountain Valley RV Resort.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose locations based on specific needs rather than just availability. "If you like your space, this probably isn't the best place," Nicole B. advises about Pony Express RV Resort, suggesting that RVers who prefer more distance between sites should research specific site dimensions.

Level site importance: Concrete pads aren't always level despite appearances. "Most sites were level, however 62 was NOT! Sites were fairly close but not on top of each other," Larry G. warns about Knotty Pine Resort, emphasizing the importance of checking specific site reviews.

Utility placement considerations: Hook-up locations vary between parks and can affect parking positioning. "The utilities were fine," mentions Kristin S. about Park City RV Resort, though other reviewers note less conveniently placed connections at other facilities near Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
