Most campers using Herriman as a base are after access to the Oquirrh Mountains to the west or the Salt Lake Valley corridor campgrounds spread across the foothills. Tent, RV, cabin, and dispersed options are all confirmed in the area. Herriman-area dispersed land covers the no-fee BLM and forest routes for those who want to skip developed sites. Higher-elevation forest roads close from November through April. RV sites at developed campgrounds in the valley area run hookups at most private parks.
Dispersed sites on Oquirrh Mountain roads vary in condition by season. Standard vehicles work on maintained gravel, but high clearance helps on the steeper routes. No water or restrooms at dispersed sites. The proximity to the Salt Lake metro means weekend sites fill faster here than at more distant destinations.

GuideGreat site, kept clean both around the grounds and facilities. Staff is great, and host weekly activities that are communicated via text. Yes the jets are loud but generally only fly in the afternoon and are not that big of a deal.
LegendNice little campground with several pull through spots and several back ins Showers and bathrooms were clean and nice. Outside of the major town on Utah Lake so fairly quiet, although it is next to a smaller airport which has planes coming and going most of the time. At least they are all small planes so they don’t make too much noise. Nice playground.
TravelerRight up the road from where the campsite marker is we found this private little circular site with fire pit. Ground was at a slope, good to keep in mind, for this specific spot.
TravelerGreat place if you want to be secluded. There are so many spots. Beautiful views of the Leaves changing mixed with the pines.
ScoutThis road will test your skills it you don’t have 4x4 and high-clearance, but it still drivable even further uphill. Wasn’t able to make it to where the pin is, just kept going up the main road and found gorgeous spot! Quite popular place
ScoutCalled to make sure ok to stay a night in parking lot at 1513 pm. Told no by staff at desk.
GuideI don’t know why the alert states it’s closed till 2027 but that’s not true. All paved, easy access. Pit toilets and drinking fountains. Sites are too small for huge motorhomes- we fit our 33 foot trailer but had to park the truck down by the toilets, and backing in was fine in our spot but they’re not all as wide of an angle. Site was level, toilets clean. Fountains everywhere but for filling jugs only. A million little trails everywhere. The reservoir is right next to camp and the people there are very annoying, loud, and leave trash. The trails were much more peaceful.
GuideOne of the most beautiful sites I've been to in utah. The drive up on autumn is absolutely stunning. Pit toilets are located about 4mi down the mountain, road up will require AWD or 4x4.
ScoutThe rock formations are cool and fun to explore, but unfortunately the flies completely ruined this spot for us. I’ve camped in plenty of places with bugs, but I’ve never experienced flies this bad. If you stood still for more than a few seconds, you would literally be swarmed by them. There are cattle and bison in the surrounding area, so I’m guessing that contributes to the fly problem. Whatever the cause, they were relentless. It was so bad that after about 20 minutes, we gave up, packed everything back up, and left. Based on our experience, I would never camp here again.
