Nearby Smithfield Campground in Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest provides another pet-friendly option with clean, well-maintained sites. The small campground features five to six nicely spaced campsites alongside a creek, offering water access for pets. Both tent and RV camping are permitted, though no electric hookups are available.

Many campsites have leftover trash and occasional broken glass, so protective footwear for both humans and pets is advisable when exploring camp areas.

ScoutIt is a lovely place. Nice patch of grass at the site. River and walking trail just steps away from all sites. Would be nice if the dog park was finished. There are other amenities that are planned to be available, but are not available yet. It is a very pretty place with the mountain backdrop. Lovely sunrises and sunsets. Beautiful.
ScoutWhow…new new new facilities with all the big rigs pull thru power water sewer games dog park ice cream souvenir shops easy on and off the freeway. Close to restaurants. But a sterile walking environment. Concrete pads and all… can’t go wrong here.
GuideWhen planning our visit, we were confused by something on the website, so I called to get clarification. The staff member that I spoke with was very friendly and answered all my questions. When we arrived, the staff member at the park was very friendly and accommodating. The site we had reserved had a next-door neighbor, but there were several empty sires without direct neighbors and she happily changed our site so we had more breathing room. This park has a big open field designated as the dog park and the RV park as a whole is very pet friendly. We were in site 17, which was a 50 amp site so we had to use an adapter for our 30 amp trailer. Hookups were conveniently located and included water, electric, and sewer. The site was a super level gravel pull through although they also had some back in spots and tent friendly spots. This park is right off the interstate but we really didn't notice the road noise. The bathroom and shower was clean and well kept. The town as a whole is small but cute and has a great city park. We didnt eat at the diner in town but were told by family that its a great place to eat. We were there for two nights and will definitely stop there again when we're in the area.
TravelerThe place was nice and new. There is a dog park area and access to a trail which runs along the river. There is a lot of noise from the interstate and the nearby Air Force base. The only issue we had was that the street lights in the resort were super bright at night. We're glad there wasn't one above our spot!
GuideGreat amenities, dog park, showers, laundry. Stayed here long term a couple times and it’s always a great stay! Close to the park, splash pad, and track. Hosts are pleasant. A little close together but good for being on base.
LegendStraight up. The ONLY thing stopping me from giving this place 5 stars is the lack of trees at the sites. If it were July, this place would be hot without shade. Full hookups, WiFi, Dog park close to town. Great staff. Just need more trees!
GuideThis was a top notch camp ground. They are going through a major upgrade. Many tiny homes, spots with private hot tubs and fenced in yards, great of you have a dog!! Nice grass dog park. ACS hardware and a full grocery store next door.
TravelerThis was a great spot for a night stopover. Pro is very clean, pass are huge and level. Nice little dog park run as well.
Several kiddos running around on their scooters having a great time and their clubhouse just opened. Highly recommend.
ScoutClean restrooms and showers good wifi with a pleasant little store and the big dog park was a welcome surprise. Loved it ,only problem was the tight cramped spots.

Hiking the Wind Caves Trail: Located near Guinavah - Malibu Campground, this popular trail offers a moderate challenge. "Across the road is the Wind Caves Trailhead. Just down the road is the Crimson Trail Head. Liked this campground because it was quiet and intimate," notes one visitor.
Mountain biking on local trails: The canyon offers numerous routes for biking enthusiasts. At Wood Camp Campground, campers appreciate the trail access. "It has easy access to the Jardine Juniper trail which is only about 200 yards away," one camper reports.
Kayaking at Hyrum State Park: The reservoir provides water recreation options when the weather is warm. "It's right on a small lake with a boat ramp and a small beach. The campground is small… about 8 or 9 sites with w/e and about a dozen sites with dry camping," shares a recent visitor.
Peaceful creek sounds: Many campers at Smithfield Campground appreciate the natural water features. "The small campground features five or six campsites that are spaced nicely and are all very clean... And the river adds a lot of ambient noise that's awesome," writes one reviewer.
Shade during hot months: Trees provide crucial coverage during summer heat waves. "This campground is just off the road going up Logan canyon. It is set right next to the river which helps drown out the noise from the road. The entire camp site (6 sites) is completely protected by large Willow trees," notes a camper at Wood Camp Campground.
Winter recreation options: When snow blankets the area, activities shift. At Green Canyon, "In the winter months the road is closed, and is groomed by a local group named Nordic United. They groom it for cross country skiing several times a week and after every good storm."
Permit requirements: Some areas require payment for use. "Road to dispersed camping is closed Dec 1 - April 15. Permit fee is $10 for 3 days," reports a winter camper at Green Canyon Dispersed Campground.

Campsite spacing considerations: Families appreciate room between sites. At Smithfield Dispersed Camping, "After you've passed the Smithfield campground there are plenty of spots on both sides of the road where you can pull off and have dispersed camping. Most of the spots are pretty small and would only work for one or two tents."
Size limitations for dispersed sites: Many dispersed camping areas have limited space. "No warning that the road narrows with no turn around about a mile into the campground, or the trees are overgrown which scratched up my sides. The only spaces large enough for my 23 ft RV were occupied."
