Best Campgrounds near Midway, UT

1,298 Reviews

Campgrounds around Midway, Utah range from state park facilities to private RV resorts, set against the eastern slopes of the Wasatch Mountains. Pine Creek Campground in Wasatch Mountain State Park provides tent and RV sites with full hookups, while Mountain Valley RV Resort offers more upscale accommodations including cabin rentals.

The region includes both developed sites with amenities and more rustic options, typically within 30 minutes of Heber City and Midway.

Seasonal considerations affect campsite availability throughout the area, with most campgrounds operating from May through September or October. Winter access becomes limited due to snow at higher elevations, particularly in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest areas. Many campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer weekends and holidays when visitation peaks. The surrounding mountains create diverse microclimates, with temperatures often cooler than nearby urban areas. As one camper noted about Pine Creek Campground, "It's very pretty with wildlife enjoying life. Planned to stay longer than two nights but got chased out due to a wildfire nearby sending smoke our way."

Campers frequently mention the scenic mountain views and access to outdoor recreation as highlights of the area. Wasatch Mountain State Park campgrounds receive positive reviews for their proximity to golf courses, hiking trails, and fishing opportunities while still feeling remote. A visitor described Pine Creek as having "clean bathrooms, warm showers, power at your picnic tables and water at each site. Close to fishing pond, play area for kids, beautiful golf courses, hikes, Midway/Heber cities, fishing rivers and beautiful drives up the mountains for more exploring." Privately operated facilities like Mountain Valley RV Resort are noted for their amenities including swimming pools, pickleball courts, and well-maintained facilities. The mix of tent-only areas, RV sites with hookups, and cabin accommodations provides options for various camping styles throughout the region.

    Miner's Canyon Dispersed

    Easy drive and beautiful view

    EDIT: Okay I lied. The bugs have infiltrated my tent. I don’t even know how but they have. I can hear the rest of them outside trying to find a way in. I didn’t even have any lights on. I’m scared and itchy and I hate bugs. Come here to watch the sunset and leave.

    The sites are trashed. I think people live here full time. You can hear generators running at night and occasional gunshots in the distance (shooting range). There’s giant fly swarms all over that you hear buzzing all night. There’s little to no privacy. I should really give it two or three stars but DAMN is it beautiful. Great sunrise and sunset spot right on the water with the mountains in front and behind you. Plenty of spots you can get to with 2WD. I didn’t venture up the hill because it seems a little more unlikely I’d make it, but like I said, plenty of other spots.

    Uinta National Forest Hope Campground

    Great views, lots of Yellowjacket’s

    The yellowjackets were pretty annoying to deal with until after dusk and they’re right back out as soon as it’s light. My husband and I camped at an overlook spot about a mile north of this campground and it was an amazing view, little car activity but lots of yellowjackets. I’d recommend bringing a trap and wear peppermint essential oil to deter

    Tinney Flat

    Great spot!

    There is a sign on the way up that says no dispersed camping, but that’s just for a specific area. A little ways past that it switches back to free dispersed. Nice quiet spot with hardly anyone else! Cute stream and mountain bike track on the way up too.

    A nice camp. 30 $ for a tent is a bit more than usual, but they have nice showers :) Selected this so I can swim in the lake, but it is not allowed due HAB...

    Big crowded TV park

    It really depends on what you are looking for, if you to be in the city and don’t mind confined campgrounds then this is for you. Showers, laundry, pool, hot tub and store.

    Pony Express RV Resort

    Nice compact

    Like others have said…if you want space to spread out this is not the place for you.

    If you’re looking for a place that is convenient, full hook up, level concrete pads, subdivision desperate house wife’s camping addition this is the place to be!

    100.00 per night is high, in my opinion. For one adult and a cocker who doesn’t make a sound. Rare I know.

    Like many other places who advertise free wifi might as well plan on using your phone or star link or whatever you may have.

    If I planned on staying for a few months I would consider staying here. Only if they had a hefty monthly discounted rate. I think the state parks would be a better option for a one or two night stay.

    Mount Timpanogos Campground

    It’s like a little Switzerland

    Very quiet, sites are pretty level. Currently the vault toilets are closed but they have portable toilets available that appear to be cleaned every 3 days. Host Sara is very nice. Cell service Verizon and att is decent. Road up is steep but smooth. Lots of cars parked on the road near the campsite makes for difficult driving around on tight roads in our 26.5 foot RV but we were able to do it. Mountains are very beautiful up here. As always people don’t seem to understand the concept of pack it in pack it out so there is some trash but much better than most other sites. We always end up having to pick up after others because most people just don’t seem to care and figure someone else will do it for them. Keep it Better than you found it.
