"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 is a great place to camp within the city of Lehi. It is close to the water and in the hot summer it is a fun spot for a night get away. Big camp sites for trailers or tents and nice bathrooms."
from $25 - $175 / night

"The only bad part about this camp site is all the highway noise. It is close to the Provo river and there is lots of shade so that is nice. Great place to have a camp fire and cook some S'mores. "
"A clean, nice, convenient getaway just under 15 minutes outside the city. This served as a great stop for our road trip where we were able to camp 10-steps away from the river, and it was ."
"The last time I camped there some folks buried their dead cat down by the water access. This seems to be somewhat common as there are two other pet graves located nearby."
"Very easy access public land right on Utah Lake. Packed gravel and dirt road going in is lumpy from use but smooths out a bit farther in. Side roads to sites are anyones guess."
"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."
"Gorgeous view across the lake. Quiet. Electricity worked well. Extremely clean. Camp hosts were nowhere to be found and another rig had claimed the end lake-adjacent site I paid for."

"As beautiful as the view was, I felt it was ruined with all of the trash that people have left behind in the dispersed camping area as well as along the lakeshore."
"Can be a bit windy some days but nice spread out area with beautiful views of mountains and Utah lake."
GuideNice little spot. I camped in my truck and the spot was fine. Might be tight with a large rig and not as level. But fine for a small rig.
GuideNice little campground. Know what it is. Its a campground at a theme park. Noisy during the day. Stay here if your going to Cherry Hill. I wouldn't stay here without that due to better locations. Grassy spots get slick.
GuideNice place to camp If you can find a spot. We went during the hunts so most were taken. Large rigs should stay on the lower part of the mountain. Road gets tighter and less large spots after about 1/3 of the way to the top. Road was pretty dusty that weekend as well.
GuideStayed here once for a Fallen Hero's event/concert. Campground was nice and clean. River right next to it so you can fish the river below the damn. Large grass area for hanging out. Nothing too special.
LegendHad a good experience here. No one bothered us at all during our stay. There are a lot of RVs using the dispersed camps along the road here but this one was open and empty. Not many big rig friendly sites, but there are a couple. I love the the NP pass covers cost. No issue with bugs. There are a few hiking trails close by as well! No trash services so remember to pack it out with you!
LegendI know some people had a huge issue with bugs. Maybe its because we came towards the end of October. But the only issue with bugs we had were a few annoying flies. This place is absolutely stunning. Ended up staying 2 nights. One night was very windy since there isnt much to protect you from the wind. Bathrooms have showers and flush toilets. Literally no one was here after the Bison roundup weekend. And the sunsets were spectacular !
TravelerBeautiful fall weather.
GuideCool spot with lots of different options. However it wasn’t as peaceful as you’d expect. There were people driving around all hours of the night shooting, dumping trash, and walking around. Overall decent spot to stay for the night outside of town. Just be cautious.
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.

Hiking near Timpanogos: Access multiple trails directly from Timpooneke Campground, positioned at the base of the popular Mount Timpanogos ascent route.

On the way, stop and checkout Scout Falls," notes reviewer Shad G.
Fishing opportunities: Cast a line in streams and reservoirs near Little Mill Campground where American Fork Creek flows adjacent to many sites. "Great relaxing family time, fishing on river close, close to tribble fork and silver lakes," reports Monica B. The campground stays open later than others in the canyon, extending the fishing season into cooler months.
Water recreation: Bring non-motorized watercraft to Utah Lake for calm paddling experiences from spring through fall. The lake offers multiple access points, including a boat launch at Willow Park Campground for kayaks and canoes.

Varied terrain options: The Lehi area offers camping from riverside lowlands to mountain settings above 7,000 feet. Mt. Timpanogos Campground provides high-elevation experiences where reviewer Michael J. describes it as "well maintained and nestled in old growth trees, it's very cozy, except that the often times busy Alpine Loop is VERY close."
Seasonal access limitations: High-elevation sites have restricted seasons. Andrea P. warns about Granite Flat, "High up American Fork Canyon tucked in the forest. The elevation is about 6400 ft- so no spring camping. Book EARLY! This campsite is always full."
Bug activity varies by location: Utah Lake sites experience significant insect pressure during warm months. At Utah Lake State Park, visitors note, "The mosquitoes here are terrible.
