Top 10+ Dog-Friendly Campgrounds near Grantsville, UT

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. There are dozens and dozens of spots that fit just about any size RV or 5th wheel. Every spot has water and electric hookups, picnic tables, and enough grass space to setup pet pens.

There are several different amenities including a pool, playground for the kids, life-size chessboard, and a mini-breed dog park!

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.

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. A little close together but good for being on base.

The place was nice and new. 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. The only issue we had was that the street lights in the resort were super bright at night. We're glad there wasn't one above our spot!

It is a lovely place. Nice patch of grass at the site. 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. It is a very pretty place with the mountain backdrop. Lovely sunrises and sunsets. Beautiful.

This was our first KOA campground. Overall, we thought it was very nice and would return. Definitely a family orientated campground with lots of activities from swimming to basketball to a game room with free games! We were on Site#722. Level spot. Not much room for our Toad but we made it work. Asphalt driveway with trees and grass patio. Pretty close to neighbors. Laundry room was large and every machine worked. There is a dog park with Astroturf that smells on hot days. But it's a good space for the pups to exercise. Also has a very nice dog wash station several people took advantage of. AT&T and T-Mobile Cell Service worked great. Cable and WiFi also available. We had to extend our stay by 2 days waiting on a package to arrive. Which their office gladly accepts package deliveries. Nearby to restaurants and shops. Only Con was we were there during the Hive Music Festival and the music was thumping and could be heard from our site for two days. Just an FYI to check the concert schedule at the Fair Grounds if that would bother you. We have a white sound machine which helped. We camped at Salt Lake City KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

Well kept grounds with friendly staff. All sites have concrete pull throughs. All amenities were clean and well maintained. Wifi issues connecting, didn’t work. Has pet areas, pool, play areas in which were all clean and usable.

Coming from Las Vegas to go to Montana to visit family, Salt Lake City is a great middle stop.  We (3 kids, 3 adults, 3 dogs, and a cat) found Pony Express and were extremely pleased.  The GPS carjacked us and the resort was a bit difficult to find but once we did it was excellent.

Things we loved:

• Very clean and well kept
• Flat, level parking spots - many pull-throughs
• Very quiet

Not so much:

• The sites were very tight

*No one has been their best during the shutdown of 2020*

We chose this location because it was right downtown and close to the zoo.  Having a full group of 3 kids (5 & under) 3 dogs, 3 adults, and a cat we need some things that others don't "need."  We also run our company from the road so we need space, a place to play, and great WIFI.  These are the basis of our reviews.

This KOA was run down, dirty and nothing was open due to the shutdown.  The wifi wasn't very good.  We won't stay here again because it doesn't meet our needs.  It is a great place to stop for a night, get up, and go.  Other than that....nah!

Things we loved:

• The staff was incredible, fun and friendly.
• 20 minutes from the zoo.
• Dog wash and park
• Mexican restaurant 

Not so much:

• Dirty, unkept 
• Wifi was horrible
• No public bathrooms (pandemic)
• EXTREMELY HIGH water pressure

Granite Flat campsite, one of the oldest in the Uinta Cache National Forest, is nestled just in the heart of the American Fork Canyon. It sits beneath Box Elder Peak and above Tibble Fork Resevoir, making its location a favorable one for those looking for recreational activities. The resevoir is small and often crowded (especially on weekends) so if kayaking or paddleboarding is what you're after, a different, more secluded area might be better. The Box Elder Peak trail is a strong 10 mile hike, and often free of foot traffic, unlike the more popular Mount Timpanagos hike in the Alpine Loop, and offers spectacular views from the top.

The campsite consists of two different loops, an upper and a lower, and each are unique in their makeup. The upper loop called Army Tree is the smaller of the two (sites 1-25), but several of the sites are doubled allowing for two families to camp there. The lower loop called the Barracks Loop is larger (sites 30-64) and densely wooded with quaking aspens and pine, and a creek cuts just behind it allowing the sound of flowing water to be wonderful background noise to your campout. Single campsites are $21 per night, double sites are $42. Extra vehicles do require an $8 fee.

The facilities include vaulted toilets, drinkable water, firewood, and pets are allowed on a leash. However, they do not have trash service so you must pack out what you bring in.

Pros:

• After Labor Day all sites are first come, first serve
• Season ends on October 15, so there were fewer people camping around us

Cons:

• Drinking water was turned off for the season
• Lower loop was closed for the season

Would have like to have stayed a few extra days Clean quiet Rv Park nice pull through sites! Facilities were clean and secure nice large dog run for real dogs not little foo foo pups

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

I drove out here to camp. The road there was amazingly beautiful, and very steep with lots of switch backs. The campground is wonderful spot. The camp host was very kind. Although, I could not stay here. There are no dogs allowed anywhere on Wasatch Mountain because it is a protected watershed. And there was a sign posted-no dogs. It would be good to update this on the Dyrt page. Saw a deer on my way out. Wish I could have stayed.

Not sure why this doesn’t tell you that you can’t bring your dogs. Seems like an important piece of information

Tanners flat is a close trip up Little Cottonwood Canyon. NO Dogs allowed in the canyon- it is a watershed. Very popular spot for locals to day trip or weekend trip.
