13 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Lagoon RV Park & Campground offers pet-friendly sites with convenient access to Farmington's amenities and outdoor activities. Full hookup sites provide level parking for both tents and RVs, with paved spaces recommended by campers for easier setup. The campground maintains clean facilities with regularly serviced bathrooms and showers. Sites feature picnic tables and fire rings, though the proximity to the amusement park makes this location busier and noisier during peak season, especially on weekends when families arrive for the theme park.
Cherry Hill Campground provides another pet-friendly option with grassy sites and access to its adjacent water park facilities. The campground features complete amenities including bathrooms, laundry facilities, picnic tables and fire rings, though some campers note the spots can be cramped with RVs positioned quite close together. For those seeking free overnight parking with pets, Cabela's in Farmington allows RVs to stay in their lot with a 24-hour limit. The lot offers level parking areas and feels secure, though light from the parking lot and noise from nearby restaurants should be expected. Farmington Canyon's surrounding area offers additional pet-friendly hiking trails where dogs can explore the natural landscape alongside their owners.

from $50 - $189 / night

from $30 - $200 / night

"Very helpful employees, clean and pet friendly. Can see mountains all around you. Great WiFi and good water. Three dog parks and dog washing bay."
"My god-father and mother come into town yearly and stay at this location in their 5th wheel. The facility is spotless! Seriously, the staff keep the entire grounds in great condition."
"This was great for my bf and I because we were driving so late and couldn’t find an open camp ground. This place was open and it was easy to find a spot with no light and quiet."
"I wouldn't stay here without that due to better locations. Grassy spots get slick."
"River and walking trail just steps away from all sites. Would be nice if the dog park was finished. There are other amenities that are planned to be available, but are not available yet."
"There is a dog park area and access to a trail which runs along the river. There is a lot of noise from the interstate and the nearby Air Force base."
from $59 - $74 / night
"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."
"There is a fenced in dog relief area. The campground is right next to the base splash pad and a big park. Cheap $25 a night full hook ups was definitely worth the stay."
from $20 - $35 / night
"We stayed during the Halloween Fright weekend and from Wednesday to Friday at around 2pm, we were about the only ones there. Then the place exploded with campers and by 7pm the place was full."
"We had a deluxe pull thru site with 2 adults and 2 dogs and were charged $59, but for same day booking for a safe, clean, spot we can’t complain!"
"We found a spot that was more of a hill, which made it neat to get around, but the site was LITTERED with spent ammo, broken glass and broken pieces of clay pigeons."
"There's 4 fire rings around the coords, probably only 3 actual camp sites. The one fire has trails going all around it. If you continue up the mountain, there's more sites at the top."
"Tucked away from SLC, it's a perfect little oasis."
"Dogs are allowed on leash at the campground only, not on the beach. There are operators riding around on golf carts frequently throughout the day."

GuideNice little spot. I camped in my truck and the spot was fine. Might be tight with a large rig and not as level. But fine for a small rig.
GuideNice little campground. Know what it is. Its a campground at a theme park. Noisy during the day. Stay here if your going to Cherry Hill. I wouldn't stay here without that due to better locations. Grassy spots get slick.
GuideStayed here once for a Fallen Hero's event/concert. Campground was nice and clean. River right next to it so you can fish the river below the damn. Large grass area for hanging out. Nothing too special.
ScoutWe had car trouble and this spot was walking distance to a service shop. It was a perfect location and met our needs fabulously. The only downside was no trees.
LegendI know some people had a huge issue with bugs. Maybe its because we came towards the end of October. But the only issue with bugs we had were a few annoying flies. This place is absolutely stunning. Ended up staying 2 nights. One night was very windy since there isnt much to protect you from the wind. Bathrooms have showers and flush toilets. Literally no one was here after the Bison roundup weekend. And the sunsets were spectacular !
LegendI like that the spots are paved. Close to a road causing lots of traffic noise. Not much privacy between sites either. But lots of grassy places to play
LegendA nice campground. About to close for the season so I was the only one here. Its currently dry. The water was shut off and whatnot. Lots of spots. Some better than others! I bet this place would be stunning when the leaves are green and lush!
GuideCool spot with lots of different options. However it wasn’t as peaceful as you’d expect. There were people driving around all hours of the night shooting, dumping trash, and walking around. Overall decent spot to stay for the night outside of town. Just be cautious.
GuideGreat site, kept clean both around the grounds and facilities. Staff is great, and host weekly activities that are communicated via text. Yes the jets are loud but generally only fly in the afternoon and are not that big of a deal.

Bison watching on Antelope Island: Drive through Bridger Bay Campground to spot wildlife. "We saw bison and antelope driving in the park," shares James B., while John C. adds: "An amazing place to kick back, relax, and hangout with bison. They walk up and graze through the campsites which is a beautiful thing to wake up to."
Fishing at Weber River: Several campgrounds offer fishing access to the Weber River, where you can catch trout throughout the summer months. "River and walking trail just steps away from all sites," notes Kaci V.

High elevation access requires 4WD: The road to Bountiful Peak Campground demands appropriate vehicles. "If you've never driven up Farmington Canyon it is a steep road with no shoulder, I'd recommend a 4X4 or all wheel drive vehicle," advises Casey S.
Seasonal operation: Many campgrounds close during winter. "I called the Forest Service and they said it open July 1st 2020. The sites have plenty of room, tons of shade and easy access to bathrooms," reports Wyatt S. about Bountiful Peak Campground.
Insect activity at lakeside sites: Anderson Cove Campground on Pineview Reservoir experiences seasonal bug issues. "Lovely scenery, water is currently off so no showers but has a clean pit toilet. Only downside was the no see um flys you can't take a walk without getting swarmed by them and bitten. Best to visit in the autumn when the flys have gone," advises Georgia L.
Water recreation options: Anderson Cove Campground provides beach access. "The beach is so large and it's easy to camp out. The sand is soft and fun for the kids to build sand castles. We also enjoyed the small waves while on the beach," says Whitney K.

Military options: Hill AFB FamCamp offers affordable rates for eligible military personnel. "Cheap $25 a night full hook ups was definitely worth the stay. There's a nice view of the mountains and seeing/hearing the F-35 rip through the sky was awesome!" notes Chris L.
Hookup positioning: Check hookup locations when reserving. "The hook ups (especially sewer) are awkwardly to the far rear of the sites," warns Chris L. about Hill AFB FamCamp.
Urban convenience with noise trade-offs: Urban RV parks offer convenience with some noise.
