RV camping near Midvale, Utah offers convenient access to both urban amenities and mountain recreation. The area sits in the Salt Lake Valley at approximately 4,500 feet elevation, with camping options ranging from valley locations to mountain sites reaching 7,000+ feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 80-95°F while winter camping requires preparation for below-freezing conditions and potential snow, especially at higher elevations.
What to do
Mountain biking access: At Riverside RV Resort, travelers can access the Weber River trail system directly from the property. "There is a trailhead right down the road that is along the Weber River. Mountain bike or hike, you will have a good time," notes Patrick J.
Fishing opportunities: Echo Island RV Resort includes fishing access on their property. "They had a small pond for kids to fish in, two swimming pools and two hot tubs, very clean and modern facilities," reports Carlee G. The resort also provides sports equipment you can check out.
Swimming options: Beyond the typical single pool setup, Mountain Valley RV Resort offers three separate swimming pools for different guest preferences. "Three pools, three shower houses, and three laundry rooms. This is a great place for kids because there's plenty of space for them to ride bikes, play basketball, swim, and also a playground," explains Sheila B.
What campers like
Pet accommodations: Riverside RV Resort provides designated pet-friendly areas with river access. "There is a dog park area and access to a trail which runs along the river," notes Brian, though he cautions about interstate noise.
Adult-only sections: Some campgrounds separate family and adult areas. "They have opened a new section for adults only, with its own separate 21 and over facilities," mentions Cindy H. about Mountain Valley RV Resort, making it suitable for different camping preferences.
On-site recreation: Park City RV Resort offers creek access with multiple recreational tiers. "The location of these grounds is money. You have direct access to the bike path that leads directly into Old Town Park City and links you with lots of other trails," explains Kristin S., who appreciated the proximity to shopping and restaurants within a mile.
What you should know
Site spacing variations: Several RV parks have tight spacing issues. "Sites are long but very narrow. Less than 3' between our slides and the neighbor's slides. The neighbor's sewer hook up is right at our front door," reports Madeline S. about Park City RV Resort.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects several properties. "[Riverside RV Resort] is between the interstate and a railroad. Pretty quiet surprisingly," notes Patrick J., while Valley View RV Resort sits "almost across the street from Hill AFB — which could be good or bad depending on what you'd like," according to Rara B.
Reservation policies: Some campgrounds have specific RV requirements. Park City RV Resort "is not van friendly. Called today and was told camper vans not welcome here. They do not allow car camping," reports Muriel W., who also found restrooms closed as a COVID precaution.
Tips for camping with families
Swimming access priority: Look for campgrounds with multiple pools to reduce crowding. "We stayed here in August 2020... Our pull through site was perfect size right next to clubhouse, laundry, clean showers and bathrooms," reports Cindy H. about Mountain Valley RV Resort.
Kid-friendly activities: Knotty Pine RV Resort offers activities beyond standard amenities. "We are close to hiking and off-roading without the craziness off Mirror Lake Highway. Also, the kids love the pool and the basketball courts," notes Brant H.
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds operate seasonally or have limited amenities in shoulder seasons. "The bottom level by the creek, with mostly partial hookups, looking the most attractive. It was closed for the winter as of Oct 9th though," notes Courtney about Park City RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Length restrictions: Verify that your vehicle meets campground requirements. "Challenging back-in for our 30' travel trailer. Very cramped spot," notes one visitor about a local RV park, highlighting the importance of checking site dimensions before booking.
Utility access variations: Valley View RV Resort offers full hookups but requires site selection attention. "Paved sites but not level. I'd stay again but perhaps do my laundry somewhere else on the way in," reports Kim G., who found laundry machines limited and showers surprisingly small.
Weekend planning: Campgrounds near Midvale often fill on weekends. "The place was emptier on the weekdays and filled-up on the weekends," observed Kristin S. about Park City RV Resort, suggesting booking well in advance for Friday and Saturday stays.
