Best Campgrounds near Heber, UT

1,323 Reviews

Heber, Utah provides several developed campgrounds and RV resorts amid Utah's scenic Wasatch Mountains, with camping options ranging from primitive sites to luxury accommodations. Mountain Valley RV Resort and River's Edge at Heber Valley offer full hookup sites and cabin rentals, while Wasatch Mountain State Park provides tent camping and cabin options approximately 5 miles from downtown. Jordanelle State Park, located along the reservoir about 8 miles northwest of Heber City, features both standard campsites and cabin rentals with boat access. The area primarily consists of established campgrounds rather than dispersed camping, with most facilities situated within 15 miles of the city center.

Many campgrounds in the Heber area operate seasonally, with peak camping season running from May through September when weather conditions are most favorable. Several campgrounds, including Jordanelle State Park's Hailstone Campground, close during winter months due to snow and freezing temperatures. Wasatch Mountain State Park remains partially open year-round, though winter access may require snow-capable vehicles. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for weekend stays during summer months when campgrounds frequently reach capacity. The higher elevation campgrounds near Heber provide relief from summer heat with cooler temperatures than nearby urban areas. A camper noted, "We stayed here in August 2020, it's less than 70 minutes drive for us and our first journey in our new to us trailer. We were welcomed immediately upon the drive in."

Campgrounds around Heber receive high ratings for cleanliness, views, and recreational amenities. Mountain Valley RV Resort stands out with multiple swimming pools, hot tubs, and modern facilities that appeal to families and luxury campers. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "The bathrooms are spotless and everyone who works here is very friendly." Wasatch Mountain State Park offers a more traditional camping experience with greater privacy between sites and natural surroundings. Many campgrounds provide convenient access to fishing, boating, hiking trails, and mountain biking routes. The proximity to Park City (25 minutes) and Salt Lake City (50 minutes) makes Heber Valley campgrounds popular weekend destinations for urban residents seeking outdoor recreation without traveling far from metropolitan areas. Highway noise affects some campgrounds closer to main roads, though most provide sufficient buffer from traffic.

    Flight Park State Recreation Area

    Good price

    Instructions for the campsite are a bit confusing. Don’t pay for a site until you get here even if you book online. There are limited spots. People camping around are nice and say hello.

    We camped on a Friday night and it was full when we arrived around 6pm but we snagged the last spot available. Otherwise I would have camped down the road in a dirt patch anyway.

    Squaw Peak Road Dispersed

    A hard way to the Top

    We fought hard to get to the spot. Up to Hood Campground, the road was a normal, winding road. Really great. After that, however, a stretch began that was really only suitable for 4WDs. Rocks, deep ruts, etc. We managed it with the 2WD, but we had to give it our all. There aren't many spots. The spot we found was right on the mountain in the forest, but it wasn't worth the effort. We still enjoyed the night very much. We didn't have an internet connection with T-Online. Apparently, the spot serves the locals as a picnic destination, love nest, or even wedding photo spot until sunset. We had a bit of everything that evening ;)

    Heber Ranger Station

    Parking Lot Camping

    You can stay at this ranger station up to 14 days. Heber city has a lot to offer. There was a large trash can available but the ranger station was closed due to electrical problems so I don’t know if they allow you to use the bathrooms inside.

    Bountiful B Dispersed

    Popular re recreation area with good camping

    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. This whole area seems to be a local atv, dirt bike, mountain bike, and shooting area. Definitely lots of people shooting guns into gulleys during the day. Everybody seemed friendly though. The road up takes about 25 or 30 minutes to get to the coords. Its a bit rough but if you have awd or 4wd its no problem. Great views on the way up and down. I have Verizon and had coverage off and on, its enough to send texts but not much more.

    Miner's Canyon Dispersed

    Many Sites of Varying Sizes

    Very easy access public land right on Utah Lake. Packed gravel and dirt road going in is lumpy from use but smooths out a bit farther in. Side roads to sites are anyones guess. Some are pretty reasonable, others are like mine fields. Suggest you park on the road and walk in. Many sites are “pull-throughs” so one entrance can be better than the other. Some great spots up the hill but you’ll need high clearance and 4wd. Bugs weren’t bad on this warm mid-September day. Some trash but I’ve been to more formal places with more trash than this. Access to the lake and lots of space to hike. Nice view of lights from the Provo side of the lake at night.
