    Nunns Park

    Close to river and in the mountains with a highway close by.

    This is a great place to pitch a tent or come up and stay for the day. 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.  The bike path is close so bring your long board or bike and go for a ride. This is withing walking distance from Bridal Vail Falls so that is a great day hike and see the falls. Also great fly fishing in the Provo river so do yourself a favor and bring your fishing gear.

    Quiet, shaded area

    Quite area, lot of room. I stayed on site 58 (tent only). Enough room for 2 medium tents. Next/above stream. Tucked in very back. Long ways to walk from car. Water spout next to car area. Will be sharing parking with 2 other sites. 2 lakes nearby. Fire pit with grill gate. Shaded area. Full sun from 10am-4pm.

    Little Mill

    Great for short trip

    My family of five enjoyed this campground. We got a site with access to the river which my kids really enjoyed. There was a fun giant "sliding rock" in the area to climb on. Lots of trees for hammocks. Downside is it's right next to a busy highway and picnic areas. Although the campsite has quiet hours, the picnic area across the street stayed loud well past quiet hours. The road noise was a lot more than I expected.. especially at night. Definitely bring ear plugs or plan to stay only a nite or two. We planned on staying three nights, but were so exhausted by lack of sleep we left a day early.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    A good example of how government campsites should be done

    Overall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups. 

     All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.

    A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

    Camp by the creek

    I got a site right by the creek. Set up my hammock and listen to the running water.

    Only negative is the site is off the main canyon road and there is some traffic noise during the day.

    Utah Lake State Park Campground

    Lots of trees for shade and lots of bugs.

    This is a fun place to stay when you want to go someplace close. There are lots of trees for the summer months and lots of shade. There are a couple good beaches. This is Utah's biggest fresh water lake. There are lots, and lot of bug so bring bug spray.

    Awesome mountain views. Good fishing in the Provo river or lake fishing. You can build a fire and get firewood from camp host. There is full hook ups and also spots for a tent. Most spots have a pavilion and nice tables. Great bathrooms with running water. I can't remember which spot we stayed at but they are were really nice.

    Uinta National Forest Blackhawk Campground

    If I were to go back...

    I would reserve a spot ahead of time, avoiding any site in loop 'E'. That loop is for those planning to camp with horses. There are hitching posts at every site, therefore, lots of horse poo. And not the best place to take a dog because of all the horses in the area.

    The camp host at loop 'E' and 'D' is very nice, and is willing to split up group areas to individuals who have no where else to set up camp. If you do this, expect to get to know new people as you will share a fire pit and eating area.

    The fee to camp for one night is $20, but that includes access to any of the Payson lakes, which is $8 for day use.

    We didn't go on any hikes during our stay, as we bummed at the beautiful lakes (only the middle of the three lakes is dog friendly) all day. However, there is plenty of hiking in the area.

    Very hot. Around 90 degrees. Wake up and get breakfast early. Then enjoy the water in the heat!

    P.S. 3 stars due to the fact that I had to camp in horse crap.

    Spruces - Big Cottonwood

    Great camping spot close to SLC

    Right up Big Cottonwood Canyon, this campground has the advantage of being up the canyon so you feel far away from the city, but close enough that you could go on a work night and still make it to the office the next day. Fire pits and restrooms are near campsites, but note that the gate closes late at night so expect to walk from the road if you show up too late. More of a loud, lively site than a quiet spot in the wilderness. A fun place for camping and making s'mores with friends.


Guide to Lindon

Camping options near Lindon, Utah range from 4,500 to 7,400 feet elevation across the Wasatch Front. Most established campgrounds in American Fork Canyon and Provo Canyon operate seasonally from May through mid-October due to mountain snow conditions. Summer temperatures typically range from 50-85°F at higher elevations, providing relief from valley heat that can exceed 95°F.

What to do

Hiking to waterfalls: Battle Creek Falls near Pleasant Grove offers a moderate 1.6-mile round trip hike with creek access. "This is one of the closest campgrounds to Provo. It is quick and easy for the kind of trip to just get away but it won't feel like you are backwoods because of the smallness of the park and closeness to a very busy highway through Provo Canyon. Really close to the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls," notes a visitor at Nunns Park.

Paddleboarding at reservoirs: Several small mountain lakes are accessible within a 20-minute drive of Lindon. "We were able to paddle board which was a blast! I loves being so close and having access to so many beautiful hikes and Rick climbing. We were right next to a beautiful river and it was pretty quiet," shares a camper who visited Granite Flat.

Mountain hiking: Mt. Timpanogos trail access is available from multiple campgrounds in the area. "Each camping area is nice, however, it is very very busy and pretty tight quarters. If you're looking for a little more privacy from neighbors this may not be your best bet," warns a reviewer about weekend conditions at Granite Flat.

What campers like

Stream-adjacent sites: Many campgrounds feature sites directly along mountain creeks. "The sites were nice. People were polite and stuck to the quite hours. There was a drop toilet within walking distance from our site and a water spigot. The sites were spacious and relaxing," reports a visitor to Mt. Timpanogos campground.

Proximity to Salt Lake City: Most campgrounds are within 45 minutes of the city. "I love that you can go from the busy city to this amazing site in about 30 minutes. I have almost always seen moose and deer in the camp ground and the kids love to catch fish in the stream," says a regular at Spruces in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Diverse terrain: Sites range from wooded mountain settings to lakeside options. "The area and scenery were gorgeous! The hosts were lovely and helpful. The water was cool and there were tons of people there with paddle boards, canoos, tents, and dogs," mentions a Granite Flat visitor.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Nearly all campgrounds fill quickly during summer. "Be aware that this campsite reservations for the weekend fill up quick. I checked in late may and every weekend until September was already booked," warns a Granite Flat camper.

Seasonal limitations: Most mountain campgrounds close by mid-October. "High elevation(7400ft) campground up the popular Alpine Loop. Book EARLY- its very popular," advises a Timpooneke visitor about the Timpooneke campground.

Watershed restrictions: Dogs are prohibited in some canyons. "NO Dogs allowed in the canyon- it is a watershed," notes a visitor to Tanners Flat, highlighting important restrictions in certain areas offering glamping close to Lindon, Utah.

Tips for camping with families

Bring insect protection: Mosquitoes can be problematic, especially near water. "The mosquitoes here are terrible. I came here early on a holiday to get a good spot and was ambushed by swarms of mosquitoes. You can literally watch them raise from the ground ready to attack," warns a visitor to Utah Lake State Park.

Consider campground noise levels: Some sites experience traffic noise. "Bike path and highway noise can be distracting," mentions a camper at Nunns Park, important for families seeking quiet glamping near Lindon areas.

Look for sites with play areas: Some campgrounds offer dedicated spaces for children. "There is a huge spot of grass that you can play sports or baseball on. Can't remember the site we had but there was a huge rock that was fun for the scouts to climb on," shares a visitor at Granite Flat.

Tips from RVers

Site size limitations: Most mountain campgrounds accommodate smaller rigs only. "Our 20' trailer does fine. Close in to town, very pretty with Provo river next to it," reports a visitor to Nunns Park.

Limited hookups: Most mountain sites lack full hookups. "This is a fun place to stay when you want to go someplace close. There are lots of trees for the summer months and lots of shade. There are a couple good beaches. This is Utah's biggest fresh water lake. There are lots, and lot of bug so bring bug spray," advises a visitor to Utah Lake State Park, one of the few locations offering glamping opportunities with hookups near Lindon.

Level site challenges: Terrain can be uneven at mountain sites. "The one downside was that the tent spot was not flat, and had quite a few large rocks. Otherwise, it was great. We will be back," notes a camper at Granite Flat who still enjoyed their stay despite this limitation.
