Top 10+ Equestrian Campgrounds near Heber, UT

This is not a pull-in campground. This is backcountry access off of the Lame Horse trails. Please use leave no trace and enjoy the backcountry in a responsible manner. We love these areas because the views of the mountains and meadows are breathtaking. You will need to backpack a ways in to find a good place to set up a tent. Just be sure to camp at least 100 feet off the trail. Enjoy responsibly.

This campground was nestled in the middle of Lehi Utah and it was a great place for us to swing in for one night.

This was a beautiful campground. Very nice. I love how it is near a river. You can hear it at night. It's so nice to get to a cool area out of the hot valley and into the cool scenic back country of Utah county. Bathrooms were fresh non out house smelling for sure. Highly recommended.

An inexpensive stay in town near great places like Silicon Slopes, Thanksgiving Point, Utah Lake, Traverse Mountain and centered between Salt Lake and Provo. This is a nice spot along the Jordan River Parkway. The hosts are a little loony, but they stay out of your way if you follow the rules of the park. There are nice tables, boat launch for non-motorized water crafts, bathrooms, and playgrounds.

Utah is such an amazing place to visit for the outdoors. My family and I come here once a year because we love hiking and being in the outdoors. This place was great and provided us a place to stay for a few nights before making the long drive home. There are some great hikes nearby that I highly recommend. We went on a 10 mile round trip hike one of the mornings and the views were incredible. The campground was great, and the campsites were awesome. Each campsite is separated by trees so you feel like you have some privacy which we really loved. There is a great burger joint nearby that I recommend going too. We ate here twice!

I stayed here for three nights (July 7-9 2021) and it was great!! I’m on a road trip to Chicago from California and this was the first place I stayed and I absolutely loved it.

The campsites are hidden but close together which I loved being a solo female traveler it made me feel so safe knowing people were on both sides of me.

The roads are really rough don’t think you’ll be able to do it without 4x4 or awd my Honda CR-V did great!!

One thing though, the camp sites fill up quick my first night was a Wednesday and I got there around 6pm and I found a spot just big enough to park my car for the three nights. It was just off the road and basically no privacy but I was just looking for a safe place to sleep and that’s what I got!

I spent one day exploring salt lake, which is about an hours drive from the campsite. And I spent another day only up near the site, there’s a trail head that leads off to about 3 or 4 different trails I did trail 173 it was 2.5miles and it took you up so you have an amazing elevated view of the mountains and lake and about 2 miles in it leads you to the opposite side of the lake that you drive up next to.

This is blm land so you can stay for free up to 14 days which was a big factor into why I chose to camp here!

Overall I loved it here I totally fell I love with Utah and I can’t wait to stop by on my way home and camp here again!

Oh also if you ride dirt bikes/atvs most of the trails are motor friendly and the lake is a great spot for kayaking!!

I highly recommend this campground on Mt. Timpanogos and near the beautiful resort created by Robert Redford, Sundance. Camp hosts are friendly and most of the sites are roomy and well-spaced.

We spent a night at campsite #4 and it was awesome. Lots of privacy and space and the stream is flowing heavily. Definitely a little bit of road noise but a nice getaway from SLC

Sites are small and primarily tent sites. There are a couple sites which would accommodate a small 16 ft trailer. We had to unhook and park diagonal to fit small trailer and short truck.

We didn't spend much time during the day as we were visiting relatives near Provo and enjoyed the cooler getaway in the evening.

The drive up here was beautiful and the hiking trails probably have amazing views.

I came to hike Timp and stayed for a couple nights just as they were closing and this was the perfect spot under a mile from the trailhead. They were closing a few loops after Labor Day for the season and there was a lot of ATV traffic at night on the road, but overall it was a great place to relax after the mountain.

One of my favorite camping sites. See all the stars at night

Our site was right by the entrance and near a stream bed that was dry. It was incredibly quiet, silent even, at night. Gorgeous but a little chilly.

We really enjoyed the campground. Sites are spread out. Lots of trees. Toilets were very clean. Particularly recommend site 16. Perfect view of Mt Timpanogos

We got there late, but we were able to set up and get a fire going! The campground wa clean and well taken care of! Thank you!

Clean site. Close proximity to the lake and hiking makes it a favorite spot

We had planned to stay here last weekend with another family. We drove up Thursday to get a walk up spot for the weekend, and 95% of the spots said reserved. Not taken, reserved signs. Even on the very few spots that actually had a W on the post. Not sure how you get the special reservation but the website is very misleading. We ended up driving further up the mountain and eventually finding a great spot in the dispersed camping area. Still annoying to have wasted five hours of our day.
