Soapstone Basin Dispersed Camping accommodates pets across its many dispersed sites in the Wasatch National Forest. This free camping area features fire rings at most sites and toilet facilities, with multiple access points for vehicles, tents, and RVs. Mill Hollow Dispersed Camping also welcomes pets throughout its primitive camping areas. Campers praise the seclusion of Wolf Creek Pass Primitive Areas where pet-friendly sites are nestled among pines and aspen trees with established fire rings. The pet-friendly sites at Strawberry Hideout include a well-built deck, smokeless fire pit, and picnic table, though campers note the lack of shade requires bringing canopies for pet comfort during summer months.
Several trails and exploration opportunities exist for dogs throughout the Soapstone Basin area, though owners should prepare for wildlife encounters including deer and moose that frequent campsites during early mornings and evenings. Wolf Creek Pass provides excellent hiking with dogs on numerous pathways through forest terrain. At higher elevations near 8,000 feet, temperatures remain cooler even in summer months, making these areas comfortable for pets sensitive to heat. Bring essential supplies as the nearest services are located in Kamas or Tabiona. Biting flies can be problematic in certain seasons, particularly around Mill Hollow. Most dispersed camping areas require pack-in, pack-out practices with no dedicated pet waste facilities, so campers should bring appropriate bags and containers for managing pet waste.
"The drive to currant creek was so pretty. I would drive there just for the day. The camp grounds are close together. Luckily it wasn’t that busy when we went."
"Campground is more remote so it’s great if you want to get away from large crowds. Higher elevation so you escape some of the summer heat. Fishing is good for trout."

Check Availability"No bathrooms, primitive and huge families with atvs and dirt bikes everywhere nearby. They were polite and had reasonable time for no noise."

"This was one of the best non-lakeside campsites I stopped at while moving along Mirror Lake Hwy!"
"This is a great campground especially for off road vehicles. Our family has been going there for years and it is one of my favorite spots in the uintas. The bugs are minimal."
from $28 - $82 / night
Check Availability"Mirror lake is the most popular campground in all of the Uintas so the spots go super fast as soon as registration is opened! If you want solitude this is not the spot for you."
"Love the lake and hiking trails close by!"
from $28 - $84 / night
Check Availability"The only gripes I had are that it's right next to the road, and the river is pretty shallow and, as far as I can tell, there aren't any fish to be had unless you walk up or down river, maybe."
"From big spacious sites to the sound of the Provo River running next to your camp, there is nothing about this campground not to like."
from $26 / night
"Over Memorial Day weekend, my husband and I got away for a night and dispersed camp in the Unita National forest near the Mill Creek campground. "
"Our family really likes dispersed camping near Mill hollow reservoir. It’s very peaceful and scenic!"
"No trees or anything to provide shade from 7:30-6ish (the sun goes behind the tent around 6). So bring a canopy or two because we forgot to bring one and were scorched!"
"Daniel and Nate were great hosts and the spot was easy to find and placed in a surprisingly convenient location! Was a vibe FORSURE, 10/10!"

Check Availability"And let's not forget the un-official camp host who helped Stevie, her dog, Arizona. <3 Our dogs all got along very well. We all became great friends."

from $27 / night
Check Availability"There are numerous campsites spread around the lake and many are right on the water which is awesome."
"Then we learned that a trail encircles the lake and goes through all of the campsites. Lots of folks walking on the trail (and thus through our “secluded” site) including with off leash dogs."
"This is off the beaten path a bit, but it still gets heavily used in the summer months, but there is thousands of acres to find a spot, and some sizable 5th wheels and Motorhomes are up there."
"Didn’t even know people were camping near us until we went for a walk. Will definitely be back here."
GuideThis is a rest stop. It's great. There is a dog park. Water to hook up to for a fill. There are a ton of picnic tables and a paved walking path through an outdoor educational museum. bathroom too. Perfect for an in between salt lake and Moab.
TravelerThis spacious RV park has two pools (one limited to adults only), two dog parks (one large enough for big dogs to run and fetch), two sets of pickle ball courts and is spacious and level and nice/ oh, my.
The staff are friendly and lead you to your RV site (and actually collected and filled and delivered our propane tanks). They have a few cabins but are mostly laid out for newer RVs. They ask the age and type when making reservations. Good Sam discounts apply. This is a very nice “the only 5 star “ RV Park in Utah.
LegendOne of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.
They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.
Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.
RangerThis was a great place to stay! Had 3 different pools/hot tubs and the pools are heated so they arent freezing. Nice laundry and bathrooms as well. We had a back in site at the end of the row and there was a large grass area and fire pit that was great! Had a large dog park and pickle ball courts too!
GuideFound this spot last minute. It's fancy. Way fancier than we usually pick, but the price was right. It was full when we arrived on a Saturday. But thinned out later in the week I really enjoyed the split between the folks with kids and those without. 3 pools and hot tubs...2 for the 21+ only crowd. There are tons of clean bathrooms woth showers and 3 clubhouses. 2 dog parks...one was HUGE!! Dogs loved it. Views are amazing. It was honestly kind if refreshing to stay in a resort.
GuideWe couldn’t find any information on this campground and found out it’s only a month old, as of July 2025. Previously it was a tent only campground that was ruined by a flood several years ago. It’s now an RV campground with full hook-ups. The campground is very clean and fully functional. The views are fantastic, located on the east side of Jordanelle. The Provo river is runs to the side of the campground and we fished multiple times a day. There’s a launching bay to Jordanelle just a few minutes away. Everything was fantastic except for one uncontrollable thing. MOSQUITOS! I’ve camped in Utah my whole life and this was by far the worst mosquito situation we had. We are covered in hundreds of bites and are totally welted. We were forced to spend many hours in our RV to avoid them.
GuideFrom the moment we pulled in we could just tell this was a fun family environment. Our kids loved it! The pool area is amazing. The store was well stocked. And the staff were all extremely helpful and friendly.
We are really big rig, so you have to be careful what site you pick if you’re super sized like we are, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The only reason it didn’t get five stars from me is due to the dirt road (people drive fast and kicked up dust all the time), and there was no fenced in dog park.
LegendIf I could give it more stars I would, 5+++++. We have stayed at many campgrounds around the country and this is by far the best! Amazing staff, beautiful meticulous clean grounds and facilities, which are plentiful as well. Huge level concrete sites, with privacy bushes between, awesome hook ups, WiFi and cable. Trash pick up, huge dog parks, which are best we've seen. We have paid twice as much for far less. The scenery from the campground is breathtaking. I am writing this sitting at the heated pool looking at snow covered mountains. The town of Heber is so quaint and nice. 20 min to Provo and BYU, 25 min to Park City, and 50 min to Salt Lake City. We will definitely have to make this place a stop on our next westward trip. LOVE IT HERE.
ScoutThis place has it all. Clean bathrooms, hot showers, washers n dryers, basketball court, playground, fenced in dog park, a clubhouse building that has arcade games, pool tables, full kitchen, skee ball, dart boards, recliners so comfy you won't wanna get up, all set up around a huge tv screen similar to being at a movie theater, BOWLING, yes bowling, an outdoor swimming pool, awesome friendly happy helpful staff and matience, green sites with power water sewer, pull thru and back in sites, picnic tables, BBQ grills, very family friendly there! And they seem to do cute things throughout the week inviting everyone to join, like free hotdogs and hangout at main pavilion, movie nights, game nights, like they actually care about you as people and not just a payment! Its a nice park for sure!
Dispersed camping areas around Hanna, Utah sit at elevations between 7,000-9,000 feet, creating cooler summer temperatures than surrounding valleys. The Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest surrounding Hanna contains multiple camping areas with established fire rings in primitive settings. Access roads to many dispersed sites require vehicles with higher clearance, especially after spring runoff or summer rain.
Fishing opportunities: Alexander Lake Backcountry offers multiple fishing spots directly from campsites. "Lake is stunning with camping sites all the way around the lake & most are right on the water," reports Heather L. Fishing for trout is productive throughout the area.
Hiking trails: Trails through pine and aspen forests connect many camping areas. At Wolf Creek Pass Primitive Areas, visitors find seclusion among mixed forests. "Absolutely loved this spot. Gorgeous. The spots are very secluded. Didn't even know people were camping near us until we went for a walk," shares Toni M.
Water activities: Many sites allow access to reservoirs and lakes for paddling. At Currant Creek, campers report: "Water is cold, but plenty deep for fishing, boating, canoes and paddle boards. Fishing was steady," according to Michelle E.
Access to water: Campers value sites with proximity to lakes and streams. At Mill Hollow, site 7 provides direct water access. "I had space 7 so the camp backs up an over looks the water for a beautiful view. If you want to play in water or just enjoy the view this is great," notes Ruth C.
Wildlife viewing: Morning and evening wildlife sightings enhance the camping experience. One camper at Mill Hollow noted: "We stayed many, many weekends over the summer and enjoyed wildlife like chipmunks, birds, owls, hawks, ground squirrels, rabbits, a bobcat, raccoons, sheep, moose, deer and so much more."
Cooler temperatures: Higher elevations provide relief from summer valley heat. As Charles W. notes about Mill Hollow: "8800 ft of elevation—escape the heat." This temperature difference makes the area popular during hot summer months.
Road conditions: Access roads to many sites require prepared vehicles. For Soapstone Basin Dispersed Camping, Jake T. advises: "I would say 4x4 isn't needed but a higher clearance SUV or truck would be a good idea."
Seasonal pests: Biting insects affect camping comfort during certain periods. One camper at Wolf Creek Pass warns: "Every site in every area from here to mill hollow is packed with swarms of biting flies."
Limited amenities: Most dispersed areas lack developed facilities. At Currant Creek campground, "There was no water available in the campground the last few times we were here. There are no hook ups-electric, water, sewer at this campground."
Bring extra water: With limited water sources, families need adequate supplies. At Soapstone Campground, Jen G. advises: "You'll need to bring your own water, and the only opportunity to refill your jugs is either at Lost Creek campground farther up the Mirror Lake Highway (to the east), or back in town in Kamas (to the west). Bring more than you think you'll need!"
Reserve established sites: For families wanting more amenities, established campgrounds provide structure. At Wasatch National Forest Soapstone Campground, "The sites are well spaced and large, with lots of trees to provide good shade and adequate privacy from neighbors."
Plan for weather changes: Mountain elevation means rapid weather shifts. Campers at Currant Creek report: "Super cold at night so pack warm clothes!" Temperature drops of 30+ degrees from day to night are common.
Site accessibility: Many dispersed areas have limited space for larger vehicles. For those with RVs, Carol B. shares about Soapstone Basin: "The road at times was a bit rough for my little Ford escape and tab camper however the sunsets were amazing as was the dark moonless night."
Dump station locations: Plan waste management carefully as facilities are limited. Michelle E. notes at Currant Creek: "Be prepared to pay to launch your boat and empty your tanks at the dump station."
Cash payments: Many campground hosts only accept cash. "Bring cash or check as they do not take credit cards on site," advises Michelle E. about her experience at Currant Creek campground.
