    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Camping in the Mendon, Utah area spans multiple established campgrounds and dispersed options within a short drive of town. Green Canyon Dispersed Campground offers free primitive sites just 20 miles east of Mendon, while Hyrum State Park Campground provides developed facilities with tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodation types approximately 15 miles southeast. The landscape transitions from valley floors to mountain terrain, with camping options in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest providing a mix of tent and RV-compatible sites.

    Road conditions vary considerably depending on location and season, with some forest service roads requiring higher clearance vehicles. Most established campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though facilities may be limited during winter months. Temperatures fluctuate dramatically between seasons, with summer highs regularly reaching 90°F and winter bringing significant snowfall at higher elevations. Visitors should check current fire restrictions and campground regulations before arrival, especially during peak summer months when reservations are often necessary for developed sites. A visitor noted of Green Canyon Dispersed Campground: "Perhaps a little too close to the university in Logan Utah it was busy that Friday night. I think all the spots filled by 7pm."

    Water access represents a significant draw for campers in the region, with Hyrum State Park located on Hyrum Reservoir receiving high ratings from visitors. Many campgrounds feature picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, while state park facilities typically offer additional amenities like showers and electric hookups. For those seeking more isolation, the surrounding national forest lands provide quieter alternatives away from the more developed areas. Highway proximity affects the camping experience at some locations, with several reviews mentioning road noise as a consideration. Campgrounds throughout the area accommodate various camping styles, from primitive tent sites to full-hookup RV facilities. Several visitors highlighted the convenience of camping options that balance natural settings with proximity to town amenities.

      Downata Hot Springs

      Downata Hot spring was great

      We were driving south from Yellowstone and and to fly off from SLC two days later. We were looking for a spot to stop for the night that wasn’t too urban. Downata has been a blessing. Quiet place with amazing hot springs and very modern pools. Also many sport activities for the kids. An amazing sunset and great people at the desk that were both extremely kind and welcoming but also allowed us to check out a tad later for us to enjoy the site in the morning! Amazing memories for sure. Thank you from Switzerland

      Riverside RV Resort

      Great Place

      Got here thinking I was going to have to do a back-in, instead they gave us a pullthru☆☆☆☆☆. The roads and sites are asphalted, don't know about the rest but pullthru sites have two each electric post, water hydrants, and sewer ports. One set towards the rear of site other about midway. Mowed grass in-between sites and not crowded. Shade is kinda short supply. This place is in My list stop here anytime. Wife dealt with the people on sign in and Sunday Afternoon, came back to Rig in a good mood so with that I'd say they were friendly. If Your hot there is a river that adjoins the Park.

      Monte Cristo

      Restful and beautiful

      At an elevation of 8,950 ft, days are cool here, and the nights are even cooler. We were here in mid-July, and all the mountain flowers were in mid-bloom.

      The campsites on the southwest side of the campground are the best (Loops A, B, and C). The sites on that side are well-spaced with lots of spruce and aspen trees between, as well as an amazing mountain garden of flowering plants that provides a beautiful privacy screen.

      The vault toilets throughout the campground are clean and well-stocked, and even have garbage cans. There are water spigots at all of the toilets, and all of them were turned on when we were there. There are no actual RV hookups, though.

      Our favorite section is Loop C (Sites 15, 16, and 17). We stayed at Site 15, which worked well for our campervan, but the drive-through in which we parked our van would've been a little too steep if we hadn't had leveling blocks. Site 16 just up the road is very level. It also offers better options for pitching a tent compared to Site 15.

      On the other side of Loop C, the only other campsite on the loop (# 17) provides excellent spots for tents, and is nicely secluded. The parking spot for Site 17 is pretty steep though, and there really isn't enough room for anything other than a short trailer.

      As is normal for mid-July in the Wasatch, the mosquitos were out in full force. We had to douse ourselves in bug spray, and we still got more than a few bites, nonetheless. The camp host (Michael) told me that normally they would have already sprayed for the female mosquitos (i.e., the ones that bite), but budget cuts to the Forest Service have reduced the mosquito-abatement team to one person, who is the sole person now responsible for 88 different campgrounds in northern Utah.

      There aren't a lot of hiking opportunities in the area other than an ATV trail that runs near the campground, but we were content just to chill in the cool mountain air and to stargaze at night.

      Spring Hollow Campground

      Hidden With Big Sites

      Right off the highway only 15 minutes from the city, it is surrounded by trees, plants, and then a creek of which all come together to take you into a nice hidden getaway. The sites were big and great for tents, and the environment nice seeing that so many people were hiking and fishing yet everyone was quiet at night.  As for the bathrooms, they could definitely be better, and the bear dumpster was a little far. There were trash bins by the bathroom labeled "non-household items" which seemingly confuse some people who were definitely throwing trash in those bins, which is obviously something that should be better managed fr the sake of the visitors and bears. 

      If the bathrooms were cleaner, I think id easily give this a 5/5
