Top 10+ Dog-Friendly Campgrounds near Dugway, UT

I didn't give Miner's Canyon five stars because of the excessive trash dumping that occurs at the sites. Otherwise it is a very enjoyable campsite. Spacious enough that your neighbors are distant, and quiet for the most part. Larger RVs occasionally run generators which can be noisy. The last time I camped there some folks buried their dead cat down by the water access. This seems to be somewhat common as there are two other pet graves located nearby. This dispersed camp is definitely haunted by house pets.

We are a 40 foot with a tow. We only stayed here over night as we were passing through. Place was clean, friendly staff, spacious sites, ours had nice grass, dog friendly. 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. High recommend

Stayed there for Memorial Day weekend and had a really good time. Even though it was a holiday it wasn’t too busy, there were still a couple campsites available by the time I went to sleep. The campsites themselves were beautiful, there’s a massive rock you can climb with small caves for exploring. I’ve heard some people camp in the caves which sounds like my personal h*ll but if that’s your thing the caves are accesible for that. The view from the top of the rock is really pretty, you can see the whole valley with the mountains in the distance. Overall, the area is pretty wide open, not a lot of coverage since it’s the desert. Would recommend camping in spring or bringing shade. I saw families with ATVs and dirt bikes, lots of room for that stuff. There are campsites available for larger groups and RV’s.

I would recommend driving a 4x4, it is a dirt road to get there and a little bumpy. I drove my VW Taos which is back wheel and was fine, but some areas were a little sketchy.

One downside is that it was a little noisy camping here. There were people shooting not too far from camp. The site is also close to Dugway Proving Grounds so there was a loud explosion sound at one point as well.

Overall great experience and I would recommend!

Nice and somewhat isolated campground. Lots of ATVs and bikes but not super crazy. Beautiful, clean, and lots of flying bugs. Bathrooms stared out clean and got worse as more people used them. I’ll go back! $15 a night Dogs allowed

Glad we snagged a last minute reservation. Many people coming and leaving as no room. Some FCFS sites but all taken. Clean, quiet, and a friendly host. Our dog loved cooking off in the lake. Wonderful temp and full moon for our mid October visit. We had one bay for ATT service.

Was camping in Moab last weekend in September and boy is it HOT out there with no shade. Ken’s Lake is a great place to cool off. The water was low, maybe about 25% and very muddy throughout. But whatever it was fun to jump in and hang out by the shore. Beautiful views and there weren’t too many people when I went. Dogs love it !

It was very easy to find, since we could see RV since a long way down the road. We turned in and took one of the first sites though there were a lot of RVs further down.

A lot of the RVs looked like they were laughing the 14 day limit, almost to the point we were convinced they were living at this site. There was also several people with lose dogs, which made us not wanting to go closer to the water.

Otherwise the site itself is OK, it’s a little uneven, but we managed fine with our RV.

Can be a bit windy some days but nice spread out area with beautiful views of mountains and Utah lake.

This campground was nestled in the middle of Lehi Utah and it was a great place for us to swing in for one night.

This is such a cool spot and one of the many reasons I can’t get Utah out of my outdoorsy heart. On BLM land, so it’s pretty much up to you where you camp and how you set yourself up, provided you follow basic courtesy and common sense. The rock formations out here are magnificent and so much fun for all ages. The camping area down below has soft soil to make for easy staking and is protected and shaded by leafy trees. Definitely worth a visit and costs nothing.

An inexpensive stay in town near great places like Silicon Slopes, Thanksgiving Point, Utah Lake, Traverse Mountain and centered between Salt Lake and Provo. This is a nice spot along the Jordan River Parkway. The hosts are a little loony, but they stay out of your way if you follow the rules of the park. There are nice tables, boat launch for non-motorized water crafts, bathrooms, and playgrounds.

This Oasis CG is part of the Little Sahara Rec Area and should not be confused with the Oasis CG in Yuba State Park. We stayed here as a quick overnight stop on our way into southern Utah. And it was Memorial Day weekend. There were thousands of people here. We showed up, paid the fee at the main entrance and were lucky enough to get one of the last two actual campsites. The sites are not numbered. This CG is made up of 4 loops with approx. 85 actual paved sites. Each loop has two restrooms. The sites vary in size. Some can accommodate big RV's, some are pull through, and some if not most are ADA compliant. They have fire pits, grills, and picnic tables. 

There is also dispersed camping down the dirt road from the CG if its full. There is actually quite a few dispersed camping options as well as the other 3 campgrounds in the area. 

This is an OHV paradise, dunes, hills, and a large amount of tracks for dune buggies, ATV's, four wheelers, razors, whatever you have. It was fun sitting by the fire and checking out all the rides. It is noisy but that's to be expected. Mostly died down by 10pm. Most people had RV's and trailers for their rigs. The info said there was water available in two spots but we didn't see it. There were dumpsters for trash and a dump station for the RV's. No showers that we saw. That being said, the restrooms which had flush toilets and a sinks were in extraordinarily good shape. Very clean for the amount of people using the CG. 

If you have an OHV this would be a great place to spend a weekend or a few days.

Holy moly, this place was magnificent! I arrived in the evening and was greeted with an incredible view: a vast lake backed by snowcapped mountains glowing in the light from the setting sun; the lights from Provo, the city across the lake, twinkle throughout the night; and it is definitely worth waking up early to catch the sun rising over the mountains. I slept in my crossover here, and I would recommend this place to anyone sleeping inside a vehicle.

The weather was cold, so I had no issues with bugs (some of the other reviews had mentioned bugs). I do imagine that staying here in the summer might not be as great.

The campground: Getting here is fairly easy. If you're heading south on 68, you'll see a Public Land sign on your right and the turn will be on your left near mile marker 19. The road becomes a dirt gravel mixture, and things do get a bit bumpy the further you go. There's different levels to this area, and while I kept to the road that stayed low, I did see some RVs up in the middle section. When I was there in the late fall, with no foliage, it was pretty clear where other people had stayed. There were about four other vehicles camping, but we were all able to be so spread out that I never saw any of the other people. It was a peaceful and quiet stay. As a solo camper I was very comfortable here.

The downside of this area was the trash; there wasn't anything large, but the ground had plenty of bottle caps, nails, and a little bit of glass. This is why I recommend sleeping in your vehicle instead of a tent. Ultimately, for me, the beauty and quiet of this place far outweighed the trash issue.

The area: This land is located right off of Utah Lake. It's about twenty minutes from the town of Saratoga Springs, and less than an hour from Salt Lake City, which means there are plenty of places to get food and supplies.

Cell service: It was pretty good with Verizon. I was able to watch a live hockey game on my phone.

I drove out to watch the meteor shower and photograph the milky way. It's a very quiet area and scenery is beautiful. I noticed a couple of spots were trashy and took out some of the trash when I left. I would go back when I just want to get away from it all.
