Top 10+ Campgrounds near Grantsville, UT

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 for a walk without getting swarmed by them and bitten. Best to visit in the autumn when the flys have gone

The views are amazing! Worth the trip off of 80 to get to. Plenty of room to find a spot. The night we stayed there were a ton of nats until the sun went down. Other than that no issue

Some awesome flat areas with a creek if you go in spring. Nice and quiet. Nearby shooting range.

At the time of our visit, the park was rebuilding its visitor center. This meant there is currently no running water so no toilets other than pit and no showers. Our spot had a nice unobstructed view of the lake. The scenery is stunning and it’s cool to see the Bison and Pronghorn. We even did the East Island drive and saw Burrowing Owls. But honeslty, it’s hard to walk or bike because the bugs are so bad. I don’t just mean the odd bite, I mean coated in biting gnats as soon as you go outside your vehicle. We stayed one night but then moved on.

It’s pretty as you drive in and if you keep to yourself you might be okay but there are quite a few long term residents along with all their garbage. Several loose dogs, including some cute puppies. We didn’t stay.

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.

This place is very cute for established camping. It has lots of trees and a nice little walking trail. They are pet friendly. They have men's and women's restrooms with showers. They also have a pool for the warmer months. There are 2 small dog parks one for large and one for small dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

We stayed in a back in spot which was very spacious and we had a good distance from our neighbor.

They have designated tent camping area. If you are tent camping they do not allow you to have pets.

Only downside is you are directly next to the Provo airport which did get active around 6 am.

We traveled to Utah from California for our annual Christmas camping adventure. This was our first spot, and it was a wonderful place to start. We don’t have to worry about the bugs, being it’s December. There were a few other campers, but there were a few others.

Clean facilities, but no water or power. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Our site was right near the creek, well shaded, and reasonably separated from neighbors. There are hiking trails that lead to climbing walls; we watched one climber struggle for 20 minutes to get past an obstacle. The downside here is the road noise, which could be overwhelming sometimes when motorcyclists, ATVs, or overwound street racers sped by. Access to some amazing scenery in the Wasatch Mountains makes it worth a visit.

Stayed at Bridger Bay Sept 18-19 in one of the sites nearest the water. Great timing as there were virtually no bugs and the water was warm enough to paddle board. Lots of Bison and a Great Horned Owl spend an hour in a tree by our Bean Trailer. Hiking the beach was otherworldly and we will definitely return.

Spot#1 Good shade and privacy clean bathrooms. Sheep dogs came through with herd of sheep (make SURE you have your dogs secured so they're not attacked by herding dogs). Beautiful open views of Utah west desert

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

For only 25min from downtown provo, this is a wonderful place to go for a night. Super kind camp host and well maintained roads.
