Best Campgrounds near Kaysville, UT

1,055 Reviews

The Kaysville, Utah area features a mix of established campgrounds and RV parks within a 30-minute drive, with options ranging from urban convenience to natural settings. Cherry Hill Campground, located directly in Kaysville, offers tent and RV sites with full hookups and amenities like showers and a camp store. Nearby, Antelope Island State Park provides a more natural camping experience at Bridger Bay and White Rock Bay campgrounds, where wildlife viewing includes bison and antelope against the backdrop of the Great Salt Lake. Additional options include Lagoon RV Park in Farmington and Hill AFB FamCamp in Layton, both catering primarily to RV campers seeking developed facilities.

Seasonal considerations significantly impact camping experiences in this region. Most campgrounds operate from late spring through early fall, with Bountiful Peak Campground's shorter season (June 30 to September 3) reflecting its higher elevation. As one camper noted about Antelope Island, "We are partial to winter due to the absolute lack of bugs and stunning contrast of the bison on fresh snow. Our 2nd favorite season is early spring before the bugs come out in full swarm!" Reservations are essential during summer months, particularly for weekend stays. Urban campgrounds like Cherry Hill and Lagoon RV Park remain accessible year-round with paved roads, while more remote locations may require high-clearance vehicles during wet conditions.

Visitor experiences vary significantly between urban and natural settings in the area. Riverside RV Resort receives mixed reviews, with one camper reporting: "The interstate is 20 yards from the first row of sites. It was constant traffic noise 24/7." In contrast, Anderson Cove Campground on Pineview Reservoir earns praise for its natural setting: "Tucked away from SLC, it's a perfect little oasis. It is next to a moderately busy road that connects mountain towns, but it's much quieter than anything you'll find in SLC and the drive is absolutely stunning." Wildlife viewing opportunities are particularly notable at Antelope Island, where campers can observe free-ranging bison herds and enjoy expansive views of the Great Salt Lake, especially during sunrise and sunset.

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

    No bang for your buck

    I wish I read the reviews better before stopping here. It’s $38 a night. That gets you a spot on a paved pad, no hook ups. There are shade trees but they don’t offer privacy. Only out house/pit toilets, the one near my spot was dirty. The campground is on a busy road so lots of noise there. I don’t need to stay here again.

    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.

    Horseshoe Knoll - Dispersed Camping

    Bugs & More Bugs

    So many bugs it was awful, the mosquitoes ate us and our dogs even with bug repellents. The area was pretty flat it looked like on the left, but we had to go to the right as the left was full when we arrived. It was fairly quiet though at night since you’re very spread out from each other which is nice. My young son loved the nearby spring, it was very mushy but not horrible in some spots!

    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.

    Echo Island RV Resort

    Great Nite Stay

    Clean, paved shady sites with full hookups. Lots of fun things for kids to do. Friendly staff. Pristine property. The only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars is due to the highway noise, but that made it convenient.

    Willow Park Campground

    Easy to get to, next to River

    We were able to get a spot next to the Jordan River under a beautiful tree. We brought our 16ft camper and didn’t need to back it in or anything. Spot was decently clean except for a leftover watermelon (which the kids gave to a family of ducks that visited the next morning.)

    Nighttime was quiet after about 10pm. Crickets and some frogs serenaded most of the night. No neighbors on a Thursday night.

    Stunning sunrise—perfect views of Mt. Timp.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Beautiful spot for overnight

    Stopped here for a scenic spot to relax for the day and overnight.
    Nice level asphalt spots. Beautiful view of the lake. Saw bison and antelope driving in the park

    Middle Fork Conservation Area

    Great spot!

    My family and I were driving through and needed a place to stay for the night. We camped the first night that lot camping was allowed (9/10) so it was quiet and peaceful. It is down a dirt road in a valley surrounded by cattle and deer and elk. Beautiful sunset and moonrise. A local ranger came by to chat and told us it can get busy with local homeless people and drug users, just FYI. But overall we felt completely safe and our neighbors were nice and friendly!
