Best Campgrounds near Farmington, UT

1,076 Reviews

Camping near Farmington, Utah encompasses a range of options from developed RV parks to mountain campgrounds in the nearby Wasatch Mountains. The area includes Lagoon RV Park & Campground within Farmington city limits, while nearby locations like Bountiful Peak Campground in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest offer more rustic experiences. Antelope Island State Park, approximately 20 minutes away, provides camping with views of the Great Salt Lake and opportunities to observe wildlife including bison and antelope. According to campers, "Farmington Canyon is truly a beautiful area with tons of little trails to follow and wildflowers to pick."

Access to mountain campgrounds requires careful planning, particularly for sites in Farmington Canyon where steep, narrow roads with no shoulders necessitate 4x4 or all-wheel drive vehicles. Bountiful Peak Campground operates seasonally from June 30 to September 3, while lower elevation sites like Lagoon RV Park are available from May through October. Urban RV parks typically remain open year-round. Summer temperatures can reach 100°F in the valley, while mountain locations offer cooler conditions. Fire restrictions are common during dry summer months, particularly in canyon areas where wildfire risk is elevated.

RV accommodations range from full-service parks with hookups to more basic facilities at higher elevations. Lagoon RV Park provides full hookups and amenities for both tent and RV campers, with the added benefit of proximity to Lagoon Amusement Park. For those seeking quieter experiences, the mountain campgrounds offer more separation between sites and natural surroundings, though with fewer amenities. Riverside RV Resort in nearby Ogden provides river access and walking trails, though some visitors note significant highway noise. Cherry Hill Campground in Kaysville and Circle L Mobile Home and RV Community in Layton offer additional options for RV travelers seeking convenient locations near Interstate 15.

    Echo Island RV Resort

    Great Nite Stay

    Clean, paved shady sites with full hookups. Lots of fun things for kids to do. Friendly staff. Pristine property. The only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars is due to the highway noise, but that made it convenient.

    Willow Park Campground

    Easy to get to, next to River

    We were able to get a spot next to the Jordan River under a beautiful tree. We brought our 16ft camper and didn’t need to back it in or anything. Spot was decently clean except for a leftover watermelon (which the kids gave to a family of ducks that visited the next morning.)

    Nighttime was quiet after about 10pm. Crickets and some frogs serenaded most of the night. No neighbors on a Thursday night.

    Stunning sunrise—perfect views of Mt. Timp.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful spot for overnight

    Stopped here for a scenic spot to relax for the day and overnight.
    Nice level asphalt spots. Beautiful view of the lake. Saw bison and antelope driving in the park

    Middle Fork Conservation Area

    Great spot!

    My family and I were driving through and needed a place to stay for the night. We camped the first night that lot camping was allowed (9/10) so it was quiet and peaceful. It is down a dirt road in a valley surrounded by cattle and deer and elk. Beautiful sunset and moonrise. A local ranger came by to chat and told us it can get busy with local homeless people and drug users, just FYI. But overall we felt completely safe and our neighbors were nice and friendly!

    Uinta National Forest Hope Campground

    Great views, lots of Yellowjacket’s

    The yellowjackets were pretty annoying to deal with until after dusk and they’re right back out as soon as it’s light. My husband and I camped at an overlook spot about a mile north of this campground and it was an amazing view, little car activity but lots of yellowjackets. I’d recommend bringing a trap and wear peppermint essential oil to deter

    Chokecherry Campground — Deer Creek State Park

    Dead Deer Creek

    A nice camp. 30 $ for a tent is a bit more than usual, but they have nice showers :) Selected this so I can swim in the lake, but it is not allowed due HAB...

    Big crowded TV park

    It really depends on what you are looking for, if you to be in the city and don’t mind confined campgrounds then this is for you. Showers, laundry, pool, hot tub and store.

    Pony Express RV Resort

    Nice compact

    Like others have said…if you want space to spread out this is not the place for you.

    If you’re looking for a place that is convenient, full hook up, level concrete pads, subdivision desperate house wife’s camping addition this is the place to be!

    100.00 per night is high, in my opinion. For one adult and a cocker who doesn’t make a sound. Rare I know.

    Like many other places who advertise free wifi might as well plan on using your phone or star link or whatever you may have.

    If I planned on staying for a few months I would consider staying here. Only if they had a hefty monthly discounted rate. I think the state parks would be a better option for a one or two night stay.

    Mount Timpanogos Campground

    It’s like a little Switzerland

    Very quiet, sites are pretty level. Currently the vault toilets are closed but they have portable toilets available that appear to be cleaned every 3 days. Host Sara is very nice. Cell service Verizon and att is decent. Road up is steep but smooth. Lots of cars parked on the road near the campsite makes for difficult driving around on tight roads in our 26.5 foot RV but we were able to do it. Mountains are very beautiful up here. As always people don’t seem to understand the concept of pack it in pack it out so there is some trash but much better than most other sites. We always end up having to pick up after others because most people just don’t seem to care and figure someone else will do it for them. Keep it Better than you found it.
