Best Campgrounds near Eagle Mountain, UT

1,175 Reviews

Dispersed camping options near Eagle Mountain, Utah include both free BLM lands and established campgrounds with varying amenities. Miners Canyon BLM and Miners Canyon Dispersed provide primitive camping with no facilities but offer access to Utah Lake. For campers seeking more amenities, Willow Park Campground in Lehi features drinking water, electric hookups, picnic tables, and reservable sites suitable for both tent and RV camping. The region includes a mix of primitive sites on public lands and developed facilities in state and local parks.

Road conditions and accessibility vary significantly across camping areas around Eagle Mountain. Many dispersed sites require high-clearance vehicles, particularly in the more remote mountain locations. "This is BLM. A couple of different camping sites. Most have fire rings but no water or bathrooms. You will need a 4x4 with high clearance to get up the mountain (the road is rough)," noted one camper about the Eagle Mountain area. Weather conditions present challenges year-round, with hot, dry summers and potential for significant wind, especially near Utah Lake. Established campgrounds like Willow Park operate throughout the year, while higher-elevation sites in nearby canyons may have seasonal closures during winter months due to snow and ice conditions.

Campers frequently mention the stunning views of Utah Lake and the Wasatch Mountains as highlights of camping in this region. Several visitors appreciate the spaciousness and privacy of dispersed sites, particularly those located away from popular shooting areas or OHV trails. A review mentioned, "We had a great time at the top with beautiful views and quiet. Nobody else around." However, some public land sites suffer from excessive trash and long-term campers who may diminish the experience. Developed campgrounds closer to urban areas like Lehi provide family-friendly experiences with clean facilities, though they typically offer less privacy. Many sites provide access to water recreation, hiking trails, and scenic views of Mount Timpanogos, particularly during sunrise and sunset hours.

    Miner's Canyon Dispersed

    Beautiful Area, But

    Close to civilization but far enough to get a healthy dose of quiet darkness. The campsites are drive-in and a decent size, far apart from each other, but keep your eyes peeled for deep potholes and broken glass. The few times we’ve stayed here we’ve enjoyed ourselves, but this seems to be a very popular spot; on several occasions we’ve made the 1+ hour drive out here, only to find every single spot taken. It appears that the same campers are out here frequently, and for long periods of time. Would be nice if people would limit their own stays for the consideration of others to enjoy this area as well, instead of treating it like their own personal property.

    Springville / Provo KOA Holiday

    KOA

    Well it's your topical RV resort. It doesn't have a fire ring and it's by train tracks and a freeway. Also, your packed in like sardines. However, it will do for overnight. I have to say it is clean and kept up well. But if you're into private camping with space, this isn't for you.

    Fox Den Campground — Deer Creek State Park

    Beautiful uncrowded campground

    We stopped here after leaving Salt Lake City. It is mid October so the campground is mostly empty. We were able to get our pick of sites. Beautiful views of water and the mountains. Super nice bathrooms that look brand new. Not much hiking right here but close enough to the Alpine Loop to Sundance with hiking along the way. Not far from a bike path along the Provo River. Only a few minutes into Midway with many restaurants to choose from.

    Salt Lake City KOA

    Urban campground convenient to SLC

    We wanted to explore Salt Lake City so decided to stay at this downtown KOA. It is a large and crowded RV park but right on a Transit line (UTA light rail Trax) and biking distance to downtown. The facilities are older but clean. Standard Holiday amenities like pool, dog park, dog wash, basketball court. We’d stay again if I wanted to be close to downtown.

    Little Mill

    Our favorite place

    Our family adores this location. Great staff, clean toilets, stunning camping areas near the river, some directly on it! Spot 10 was great for our 33ft rig. We will be back Little Mill! Love you

    Springville / Provo KOA Holiday

    Clean and friendly staff.

    Spots are a little tight. Noise level is a 5. Near the hwy but not next to. It’s a good place to stay and the monthly rates are fair.

    Hailstone - Lower Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Great state park campground

    Convenient location to Park City. Large spacious sites. Nice clean bathrooms. You can hear road noise from highway 40. We got a site without reservation with no problem. Some sites are more level than others. We are enjoying looking at the reservoir from the back of our site. Some construction noise across highway 40 but not too much late on a weekday.

    Flight Park State Recreation Area

    Good price

    Instructions for the campsite are a bit confusing. Don’t pay for a site until you get here even if you book online. There are limited spots. People camping around are nice and say hello.

    We camped on a Friday night and it was full when we arrived around 6pm but we snagged the last spot available. Otherwise I would have camped down the road in a dirt patch anyway.

    Sheep Creek Dispersed Camping Area
