The Heber Valley floor sits at around 5,600 feet, which keeps Midway accessible most of the year while still giving access to higher terrain in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest nearby. Cabin rentals close to Midway cover the more developed end of the spectrum, with private properties in the valley that stay open through winter. Dispersed sites on forest roads above the valley floor are an option in summer, though those roads close with the first heavy snow. Developed campgrounds in the area run tent and RV sites with hookups, flush restrooms at some properties, and fire rings at most.
Park City is about 15 miles away and adds more camping density to the corridor if Midway options are full during peak summer weekends. Book developed sites 4-6 weeks out for summer weekends. Shoulder season in May and September tends to have better availability and cooler temperatures than July and August.
"This isn't the prettiest lake. It is nice and big, but since it is one of the closest to Utah Valley and Salt Lake Valley, it gets a lot of traffic."

ScoutThis road will test your skills it you don’t have 4x4 and high-clearance, but it still drivable even further uphill. Wasn’t able to make it to where the pin is, just kept going up the main road and found gorgeous spot! Quite popular place
ScoutCalled to make sure ok to stay a night in parking lot at 1513 pm. Told no by staff at desk.
GuideI don’t know why the alert states it’s closed till 2027 but that’s not true. All paved, easy access. Pit toilets and drinking fountains. Sites are too small for huge motorhomes- we fit our 33 foot trailer but had to park the truck down by the toilets, and backing in was fine in our spot but they’re not all as wide of an angle. Site was level, toilets clean. Fountains everywhere but for filling jugs only. A million little trails everywhere. The reservoir is right next to camp and the people there are very annoying, loud, and leave trash. The trails were much more peaceful.
GuideOne of the most beautiful sites I've been to in utah. The drive up on autumn is absolutely stunning. Pit toilets are located about 4mi down the mountain, road up will require AWD or 4x4.
GuideCamp is about 25 minutes from town via a dirt road 4x4 not required in certain areas just be cautious when selecting certain sites if you don't have 4x4. Also worth noting lots of dirt bikes and side by sides and folks shooting guns, so if you're a light sleeper you may not enjoy this site. Otherwise, it's totally fine.
GuideWe stayed at the Salt Lake City KOA for two nights while passing through, and this place was honestly way better than we expected — especially considering we booked one of the economy-priced sites. The kids were basically living their best lives. Pool? Check. Playground? Check. Basketball, cornhole, and some giant game that looked like soccer and pool had a baby? Also check. And when they somehow still had energy left, there was a little arcade with FREE vintage games. Free. That is a magical word when you’re traveling with kids. The free coffee and pancakes were also a huge hit. Nothing improves a campground morning quite like someone else making breakfast. Even the dogs had a great time. The dog park was actually big enough for them to run around instead of just standing there looking disappointed. What really surprised us was how safe and relaxed it felt. Being a campground right in the city, we weren’t sure what to expect, but it felt clean, comfortable, family friendly, and very well cared for. Everything was in good repair, the grounds were clean, and we met plenty of friendly campers. There was honestly something for everybody here — kids, adults, dogs, and exhausted parents desperately clutching free coffee. We would absolutely stay here again. Five stars from the whole crew, including the dogs.
ScoutFantastic location, price and staff.
GuideI started at site 24 which was extremely shaded and had a cute little beach area along the creek. Then I stayed in site 10 which was more secluded from other sites but parking is just parallel to the main campground road. Site 10 was also a lot sunnier and had a more open view of the rock cliffs. After that I moved to site 7 for 2 nights and I did like the walk down stairs to my table and fire area, it made it feel more secluded from the other sites. I also liked the creek access. I stayed my last night in 24 which was a good balance of shade and openness. Also the cell service was a lot better at 22 and 24 as opposed to site 10 and 7.
TravelerSuch amazing views throughout the whole drive and onto the trail. I’ve never been to a dispersed spot as busy as this. Every spot was filled and people drove up until about 7pm still looking for spots. It’s definitely a rich daddy money playground area. Incredible views still.
