  Spruces - Big Cottonwood

  Great campground, but pricey

  Nice campground with plenty of group and individual sites. They have single, double, and group campgrounds. I camped in a tent spot (48) and had a ton of privacy.

  No first come first sites, however, 4 days before all sites become fcfs if not taken.

  Nice flush toilet bathroom. Gates close at 10 pm

  Holiday Hills RV Park

  Friendly owners and good for tents too!

  Nice grassy area for tent camping, small river that runs through the campsite. Small shop on site along with showers, bathrooms and laundry.

  Willows Campground (Ut) — Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest

  Beautiful view but that's about it

  Beautiful view but the tent sites are small and right next to the road. The bathrooms were not being maintained, the smell spread across the campsite.

  Echo Island RV Resort

  Would Recommend!!!

  (& have recommended!) The staff here was incredibly nice and accommodating. We tent camped right on the river and had a fire in the firepit! Easy access to VERY clean/nice restrooms. We would camp here again!

  Lower Meadows Campground — Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest

  Great Tent Sites

  Great tent sites, large & clean. Campground hosts take pride & keep everything tidy. Neighbors can be noisy during quiet hours, but that is no fault other than immature college kids.

  Great Salt Lake State Park Campground

  Sunrise on the beach!!!

  We tent camped on the beach and loved it all from the oolitic sand to the absolutely insane sunrise view from the window of the tent! On the north side you see the lake and the south side you see the Rio Tinto smelter it’s a really cool dynamic. We have enjoyed our stay

  Park City RV Resort

  Exceptional

  Hot tub! POOL! This place is amazing. I recommend the lower spots, G and H or tent campsites as they are farther from the road. There’s a nice creek down there and still close bathrooms with shower.

  Echo State Park Campground

  Very nice lakeside camping

  New, clean, pretty campground. Some things to know:

  1. All the sites are RV sites. There are currently no tent sites. Plenty of room to put up a tent, which we did.
  2. I 80 is across the lake and you will hear trucks at night.
  3. Crazy amount of bugs. No mosquitoes as others have reported, just lake bugs that like your lights.

  Brigham City-Perry South KOA

  Passing Through, glad I stopped.

  Stayed overnight while passing through. Super clean park, bathrooms were very clean and well lit. I got a tent site with electric hook up, spot is long so you have plenty of space along with a small grill. No fire ring rings at the spots due to closeness but there is a community place for fires with firewood. Was able to check in at any time and it was super easy. Saw a double rainbow when I woke up haha perfect.

  Willow Creek — Willard Bay State Park

  Pricy and awkward

  We we staying in a tent site. All of the potable water was still shut off. When we were booking the site all of them were taken but when we arrived there were only 3 campers. Lots of bugs. We changed our site to a full hookup site in the south marina which is even more awkward. It is a parking lot with hook ups. No privacy. We stayed one night and then opted to stay at a near by KOA and just ate the cost of the state campground. Would not stay here again.

  Next to the road

  The tents sites are along side the busy road so it got pretty noisy. But there is an amazing Mexican restaurant right next to the campground.

  Lagoon RV Park & Campground

  Convenient Park With Everything You Need

  The Lagoon RV Park has a lot to offer from tent sites to huge pull throughs for the biggest rigs. Right next door to the Lagoon Amusement Park, it is super convenient. Lots of grass and some decent space between sites. We stayed during the Halloween Fright weekend and from Wednesday to Friday at around 2pm, we were about the only ones there. Then the place exploded with campers and by 7pm the place was full. Nice bike and hike trails near by. Close to Salt Lake city. Don't miss the Big Cottonwood Canyon Drive up to Park City. Amazing.

  Brigham City-Perry South KOA

  Such a friendly site!

  Everyone here was so nice and the staff was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating. Good spacing between tent sites, and they were spacious. It’s set up in a loop with all the amenities right in the middle so no matter where your spot is you’re just a tiny stroll away. Heated pool when it’s in season, and they seem to host a lot of fun events! I missed the ice cream social sadly. They also have air hockey and a ping pong table in the office building. This was my favourite KOA so far!

  Note: Bring bug spray! I got bit a fair amount by mosquitoes.

  Willow Creek — Willard Bay State Park

  Quiet, convenient camping

  I arrived at around 6:30 PM with no reservation and had no issues. The guy at the front gate was a peach, super kind and helpful. It’s $25 a night for a tent site. He set me up in site 106 which is about 50 feet away from the (very clean) bathrooms/showers and 100 feet from the lake. The crickets SCREAM at night and there’s some noise from the interstate. There’s also a gas station right outside the park entrance. Plenty of other people camping here but everyone is quiet and respectful. I have 4 bars of 5G with ATT. They also spray for mosquitoes so bugs aren’t really an issue.

  Como Springs RV Park

  Great campground in Morgan

  Really loved staying here. We spent 4 days—between Thursday to Sunday—with full hookups at site 38. We were greeted pretty promptly by one of the camp hosts who maintains the campground. The camp hosts were super nice and helpful and it was evident that they really cared for the campground.

  This campground sits right in the south bank of Weber river and there are a few short trails you could take to walk around the river, fish, or swim.

  To get to this campground, we used Apple Maps and it was listed under “Riverbridge RV Park.” You’ll drive over a narrow bridge and there are three rows of RV sites with full hookups. Beyond the RV sites are a grassy area with a bunch of giant trees for tent camping, although a few people used this area for dry camping in their RVs.

  We stayed here in a 29ft pull behind and there were several rigs larger than us. Would definitely stay here again for a weekend in Morgan.

  Anderson Cove (uinta-wasatch-cache National Forest, Ut)

  Great Options next to the Reservoir

  This is a huge campground that sits on the south side of Pineview Reservoir that has a multitude of options for camping and day trips as well as a marina.  The first Forest Service Campground you'll encounter heading up Ogden Canyon and the only major campground on the south side of Pineview.  There are 58 single sites for 28$ as well as additional tent sites that are cheaper for 21$.  There are also 9 double sites and 4 group sites along with parking for boat trailers and day use for picnic and beach access.  Every site has a metal fire ring and a varying amount of picnic tables.  There is a small convenience store kin the reservation hut as well as vault toilets and drinking water spigots spread throughout the campground.

  For fun things to do in the area look no further than Pineview Reservoir just to the north!  From chilling on the beach to fishing from shore or swimming.  There are many options for easy, cheap recreation direct from camp.  There is also a boat launch ramp right in the campground that makes it easy to spend the day motor boating around the reservoir.  Just down canyon there is also a decent amount of decent climbing on some good to high quality quartzite rock.

  Magpie Campground

  Got the job done

  We were road tripping through with no reservations. The whole South Fork area has many campgrounds. Magpie is the first and one of the smaller of the campgrounds as you drive up the canyon. We drove through all the campgrounds and didn’t find any hosts to talk with to find out if we could occupy a spot. We thought it would be ok but weren’t sure if we could stay in a spot that had a weekend reservation posted. Plus there was simultaneously not very much shade and lots of overgrown vegetation that made tent camping not very feasible. All the sites with actual river frontage were occupied and most folks had campers. This was especially true at South Fork, Lower Meadows, Upper Meadows & Perception Park campgrounds. We finally found a host at Willows campground who explained the process but we didn’t see any sites we liked there. Magpie actually had some shaded sites so we headed back down there. We grabbed a spot that had no obvious river access but good shade right next to the host site. It was pretty overgrown but had enough of a flat spot to set up our tent and a big concrete pad for the picnic table and huge fire ring. Midweek it was only half full. Campground is literally mere feet from the road. Lots of road noise. Bathrooms were good enough. The host when he finally came around was very nice. The adjacent site was vacant (a double site that cost more $$) and we were able to get to the river there. We stayed two nights mid week and it never filled up but all the sites had weekend reservations. There isn’t a lot of hiking but if you like river recreation or we saw lots of paddle boarders headed up to the reservoir. We drove up Monte Cristo which was still closed for the season but probably would have been more our style. Birding was good around the campground probably due to the river. Again, road noise was annoying but expected. Also note that the forest service’s website was out of date as far as all the campgrounds in this area being open.

  Park City RV Resort

  Great location, variable sites

  The location of these grounds is money. You have direct access to the bike path that leads directly into Old Town Park City and links you with lots of other trails. It’s right off the highway, so access is easy and there’s a Whole Foods, restaurants, gas and outlet shopping all less than a mile away. By car, Park City is about 15 min away, Salt Lake City is about 30 min. The star rating of these grounds can really be variable based on where your spot is located. There are 4 tiers of spots (the grounds are literally tiered), the top of which are reserved for newer, specific class vehicles. These spots have concrete pads and grass next to them and are available for ownership. You’re right on the road, so I’m sure noise can be a factor. The second tier still has full hookups but are gravel and have a bit nicer views, and road noise is blocked. The third tier, the one in which we were, are PHU. Half these spots are all gravel and very, very close. So close that our neighbor’s slide out prevented us from really using the picnic table. But it’s okay bc the picnic table was broken and gross. Some of the spots on this tier have meager plots of grass, a shaded structure and overlook the stream. They seem a bit nicer. Ours abutted the dirt wall and had a lot of wildlife (marmots? Chubby squirrels?) running around. They seem harmless, if just bold. The hookups were fine. The fourth tier has more PHUs and tent camping on nicer, grassy plots with the creek surrounding. I think we wound up with the crappiest location, but I’d still rate these grounds 4 stars. The pool/ hot tub was small but decent and has a lovely view. The other amenities are nice-to-haves. They have a lot of rules including no wood fires, though staff seemed friendly and not at all overbearing. We booked only about a week ahead of time, so we knew we wouldn’t have one of the better plots. The place was emptier on the weekdays and filled-up on the weekends. We enjoyed our stay as there’s a lot to see and do in the area and you’re barely at the campgrounds. Bring your bikes!

  Big Rock Campground — East Canyon State Park

  Overall a great spot and really pretty!

  Stayed at Mormon Flat campground. It's a little hard to find, but we did drive in at night so that was half the problem. The group site was really nice because you can set up tents wherever so it doesn't limit your tent size! Overall a great spot and really pretty!

  Sunset Campground – CLOSED

  Limited but beautiful and spacious campgrounds

  Site has limited spots and some has diffent levels from your tent to the bench to the firepit. Farmington creek trail connects to the south side, under .50 miles is a waterfall you can climb down to. Just north of the campsite a small trail take you to 2 benches that overlook the canyon. We had some deer next to our tent half the night eating, saw some rat snakes, squrrails and a lizard. This site does not allow ATV's, dirt bikes or any kind of 4 wheeler. Also no RV will be able to fit, though 1 guy got a pop up to fit in one spot.

  Dock Flat Campground

  Easy to find, Free spots, Verizon signal

  Plenty of spots for rv/campers and tent campers. Had my own quiet spot with a great view of the stars. Enough Verizon reception to FaceTime with the family.
