Top 10+ Campgrounds near Dugway, UT

TLDR - this is an unregulated campground that works in a pinch.

I've been on the road for almost a year. This is the most confusing campground I've visited to date. There aren't a lot of options in the area, so I bought the $15 camping pass the morning of my stay. It is a big parking lot. I had to ask some paragliders where the designated camping area was (it's against the hill behind the toilets). There are some partially numbers spots, so I pulled into the last one that appeared empty except for some discarded items. Most of these spots are taken up by long term residents. I was nervous I was taking someone's spot, but a local eased my mind by saying that basically no one buys a pass. You take whatever spot you can find, and folks stay as long as they want. I stayed one night with no issues, but won't be back. Spotty cell service and I felt uneasy the whole time. Some positives include a super clean vault toilet and fun paragliders to watch.

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

We had one night connected to power and one without and enjoyed both nights. It’s a lovely forested area and the fall colors are just turning. Very friendly gate staff. Highly recommend

Make sure you bring plenty of water and are fueled up. The sign for the geodes is off to the right after you go over the pass!

Was worth the slight detour off the highway to have a nice spot while nearing SLC. Intake was a great surprise, creekside, private, and cool rock formations. It’s pretty desolate so it wasn’t my safest-feeling night as a solo traveler, but the specialness was worth it.

Easy drive into the area, paved road up until you turn down toward the lake. Nice gravel road for the next half mile. 6 other RVs here when I stopped on June 20th.

A little loud from the generators but sound of waves from the lake help drown it out.

Some established fire pits. Overall the place was clean and felt safe.

First of all there is no pull out at the coordinates. In fact it represents just as a reference for the highway road off the 80 highway you go along 196 and there are pull off roads leading to either straight up the side of a mountain or along the valley.

I parked at lone rock which is basically just a shooting range. You name it they obliterated it with ammo. Oh well I climbed to the top of the lone rock which was pretty epic. Fucking windy night and dusty I hate dust so much. Maybe if I parked down road inside the sagebrush it would have broke the wind. Also lone rock was full of trash :(

Glad I live in lush Colorado away from these deserts. Except alamoda area I guess.

Especially if you get here before sunset, you can hike a little ways up the mountain and watch the sun go down, but once it does start to go down it gets real windy. All the breeze from the salt flats comes right your way. This location is also right in an outdoor shooting range with multiple spots so that’s a plus if you’re looking for entertainment. As a bonus for me at least, it’s close enough to the road that getting back to it won’t be a problem, and I don’t think the noise will be a factor because the wind takes the cake. Dirt road is also real rough, probably not for sedans.

This point leads to a solar field - no camping here.

Avoid this RV Park at all costs! I made a W/E reservation at this park months in advance only to discover the clerk at check in forced me into a FHU spot. So instead of the agreed 45/night, it was 70/night! The reason I was given was because the water was not working in the less expensive site. I explained I could fill up my fresh water tank, then went and looked at the"site" and it was nothing but regular sized passenger vehicle parking! There was no way my 27 foot class c would fit, I explained this to the"supervisor", she seemed to be unmoved by my dissatisfaction and would not budge on the price of the FHU site at all! 1/2 block away is the very busy and noisy I-15, and sites are about 6-8 feet next to each other! Poor customer service, very noisy, and way to close to the next camper make this campground horrible.

Nice place for a night. Fun if you have a Side by side or mountain bike. Some sites are very accessible, others need 4x4.

We stayed here for one night didn't go past the gate we just camped pretty much on the side of the dirt road next to the reservoir. It was really nice and quiet wildlife everywhere billions of stars to look at that night.

Stayed for 1 night. Very quiet and private. I imagine if during the busy season this place would not be a great place to stay but the last week of April was not busy and it was very quiet.

My favorite place to camp. Other campers are respectful at night and friendly during the day. Nights are quiet and the moon is usually super bright.

We stayed here for a night in August and it was just a magical evening - from watching the buffalo herds in the distance, to taking a dip in the Great Salt Lake, to the vibrant sunset and then a wild lightning storm, it was just an absolutely beautiful place to camp. The campsites were generously spaced and at different heights so everyone has a unique view. The bathhouse was basic, but clean. Our campsite has a picnic table with a nice shade structure. We were only a mile from the beach and enjoyed the Visitor Center and the drive into the park.
