SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Camping options around Lindon, Utah range from developed campgrounds to dispersed sites within the Wasatch Mountains and near Utah Lake. Granite Flat Campground, located approximately 15 miles east in Provo Canyon, provides tent and RV camping with access to mountain terrain and forest environments. Nunns Park offers riverside sites along the Provo River with tent and RV accommodation options. Squaw Peak Road Dispersed camping areas provide free, primitive camping options for those seeking a more rustic experience without facilities.
Access to most campgrounds follows seasonal patterns with many sites closing from mid-October through April or May. Nunns Park requires northbound highway access only, as noted in visitor reviews. "Nice location, along river but highway close. Be aware that can only access the park entrance from northbound lanes," one camper reported. Most developed campgrounds offer water and restroom facilities during the operating season, while dispersed areas like Miner's Canyon require self-sufficiency with no amenities. Reservations are highly recommended for established campgrounds, particularly on summer weekends, while dispersed camping operates on a first-come basis with variable stay limits depending on land management regulations.
The Provo River runs adjacent to several camping areas, creating a natural sound barrier from nearby highway noise at certain sites. Utah Lake State Park Campground and Lakeside RV Campground provide lake access with full hookups for RVs year-round. Many campers mention the river as a key feature at Nunns Park. "Great campground close to town and right off the Provo River trail (a beautiful paved bike path that goes into town or up past Bridal Veil falls). Right by the river, not tons of privacy though," noted one visitor. Highway noise is frequently mentioned as a drawback at some locations. Campgrounds at higher elevations like Little Mill and Timpooneke offer cooler temperatures during summer months but have shorter operating seasons, generally from late spring to early fall.

Good spot
Lots of spots for any size rigs, closer to the water the bugs can be crazy, lots of trash left around, we were here 10 months ago same trash still here. Be wonderfully if it was cleaned up.

So far very pleasant. Right in the road but you can park and walk in to at least one campsite. There are dirt bikers coming down the trail. I didn't walk far beyond the one site with campfire spit and stones. A little trash has been left , but if you want ease of access and ability to walk back to camp, plus a place ten miles or so from supplies in Orem, this is very nice. Despite traffic and early morning athletes I did sleep well. And it's easier access than the unpaved Widow's peak dispersed - still paved roads here.

The fishing was so peaceful and plentiful
The fishing was amazing and the lake was so peaceful.
However the blonde camp host was less then friendly and on a major power trip trying to make up her own rules.
The bathrooms weren’t maintained. They stunk like ammonia so bad you could barely breathe and the garbage dumpsters were full when we arrived and weren’t emptied the entire 7 days we were there. You also still have no access to water.
A word to the wise if you are wanting a peaceful experience don’t book sites 17 or 18. The fire pit for 17 is right in the middle of the 2 sites and the fire pit for 18 is up a hill. You are literally on top of your neighbors. I had to stand in site 17 to back my trailer into site 18 it’s ridiculous.

TravelerCascade Springs Dispersed Site
One of the best dispearsed camp spots in utah
came in pretty late so had to look around in the morning, but i drove on the trail for about 20 minuites and i came across 3 sites, im sure you can find more as you go up but i didnt check. the best one in my opinion is the second one that overlooks the mountains. the only cons i have to this place is there were lots of wasps, definitely come later in the summer if you have a problem with bugs. The road up was not bad at all, it was paved up until the last few miles, some parts are bumpy but i think a 2WD could get through the trail with little to no problems. not sure if id recommend bringing a trailer though.

Enjoyable
Was passing through so only stayed for a night. The sites next to the river were gorgeous, but there were only a handful and they were occupied. The sounds from the creek were lovely, but you could equally hear the sounds of the highway. A permit is required to camp, all of the sites down the road are the same though. No cell phone service. Very peaceful though.

Beautiful FCFS sites
We stayed here for 3 nights in July 2026. The campground is FCFS. We came up on a Tuesday and all sites were open except one. The sites are small and are not level, so be prepared with levelers of some sort. We were able to park our 24' travel trailer with some adjustments. It worked out perfectly!
Campfires are allowed in the Uintas, as of the date of this review. The camp host has wood for purchase. There is plenty of kindling all around.
There is a stream that runs behind the campground with plenty of hiking, mountain biking, and horse trails near the campground. There are also ATV/UTV trails close by and throughout the Uintas.
It was a wonderful trip!

Lots of cows
July 3-4th was pretty quiet, I assume it’s busier on the weekends. Spots have picnic tables, are a good distance from each other, close to the creek, and there’s a pit toilet. Lots of cow pies, woke up up surrounded by 12 cows.

Echo Island RV Resort
This place would be great for family reunions
This place has many amenities to get away for a few days or until you feel like leaving. There is a swimming pool, hot tub, adventure canopy with zipline, treetop trampoline, and obstacle course. There's many other amenities that haven't been mentioned. This place is great for kids to get the energy out while parents can relax and watch them have fun. This is the second summer we have come here and hope to make it a long standing tradition.
Guide to Lindon
Campgrounds near Lindon, Utah range from developed facilities to dispersed sites across the Wasatch Front mountains and Utah Lake areas. Granite Flat Campground in Provo Canyon accommodates tent, RV, and glamping setups with amenities like drinking water and reservable sites. Dispersed options include Squaw Peak Road Dispersed Camping and Miner's Canyon, offering primitive sites without facilities for those seeking a more rustic experience. Utah Lake State Park provides waterfront camping with full hookups for RVs, while family-oriented sites at Nunns Park feature picnic tables, fire rings, and access to the Provo River.
Most campgrounds in the region follow seasonal operations, with many mountain facilities closing between October and May due to snow and cold temperatures. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when local sites fill quickly. "The sites are very close together with lots of foot, bike, and skateboarding traffic passing nearby. I was lucky to get a site near the river which drowned out the noise," noted one camper about Nunns Park. Road access varies significantly, with higher elevation sites requiring good clearance vehicles while valley campgrounds remain accessible by standard passenger cars. Campfires are permitted at most developed campgrounds but may be restricted during dry periods and high fire danger.
Waterfront camping represents a significant draw in this region, with multiple campgrounds situated along the Provo River or near Utah Lake. Several visitors mentioned the sound of the river as a highlight at Nunns Park, describing it as "beautiful yet subtle white noise." Highway noise can be a factor at campgrounds in Provo Canyon, with some reviewers recommending sites farther from the road. Fishing opportunities, hiking trails, and mountain biking access are frequently cited as valuable amenities near camping areas. The proximity to urban conveniences while maintaining a natural setting makes these mixed-use campgrounds particularly appealing to families and weekend campers looking for short getaways without extensive travel.
