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.

Soldier Pass by Miner's Canyon
Better than The Knolls
This BLM area is a bit nicer than the one up the road by the lake. Shooting is allowed around here and unfortunately that means that people have brought all sorts of tires, broken furniture and appliances to shoot at, then just left it all as though they are contributing to some desirable cause.
The area is great for ATV/UTV recreation, just don’t expect a clean, pretty campsite unless you find shell casings and cans left in a fire pit desirable.

Great stay
Plenty of sites during the week! Cooled off in the evening so didn’t need AC. Clean vault toilet! 35 mile scenic drive and lots of hiking trails!

Great site, great host!
We had a wonderful time! It was cooler up behind Timp than in the valley. Our site was shaded all day. The camp host, Sarah, was amazing! She went above and beyond for everyone! We were there from Sunday to Friday and the camp ground was quiet and peaceful! Our 20 foot trailer fit very nicely. Only drawback was no drinking water. We had to have bottled water for everything. We were sorry to have to leave!

Cherry Hill Campground
More than just a campground
I didn't realize that this is also a family fun park when I reserved the site. It is all an extra fee, but you will get a discount if you're camping. 50 amp Sites are asphalt and the rest are dirt and grass. Sites are a little tight but they did try to leave spaces between if possible.

Friendly, good for a night
This is a good stop over place. It has a pool, store and some outside games. No shade at all and no space between sites but the staff is excellent

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. However after a few days I realized that people think of this place as a local dump site and will steal anything not nailed down. My cat was stolen as well. People throw trash in the tree area and leave bizarre objects behind . If you drive away some one will take your parking spot and stay all night. Bikers and joggers pass constantly plus loud cars. My car was covered in Saran wrap by drunk people. You can go further up the trail and it might be nicer but due to hundreds of people per day hiking through your stuff will be stolen. All in all nice nature but creepy.
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.
