Millcreek's central location in the Salt Lake Valley provides convenient access to multiple RV parks and campgrounds within a 45-mile radius. The area sits at an elevation of approximately 4,300 feet, creating moderate summer temperatures ranging from 75-90°F during peak camping season. Most campgrounds in the region operate from April through October with limited winter availability at select locations.
What to do
Fishing along creek shores: Echo Island RV Resort provides access to two small rivers with shoreline fishing opportunities. "Beautiful setting on two small rivers with shade. Full hookups, spacious sites," notes one visitor, highlighting the natural water features at this Echo Island RV Resort.
Biking on paved trails: The Jordan River Trail offers 80 miles of paved pathways accessible from several rv sites near Millcreek, Utah. A reviewer at Riverside RV Resort mentions, "There is a trailhead right down the road that is along the Weber River. Mountain bike or hike, you will have a good time."
Swimming in heated pools: Multiple Mountain Valley RV Resort locations maintain pools and hot tubs with extended seasonal availability. "This RV park has two pools (one limited to adults only), two dog parks (one large enough for big dogs to run and fetch), two sets of pickle ball courts and is spacious and level," explains a camper who appreciated the recreational options.
What campers like
Adult-only camping sections: Adult-focused camping areas provide quieter surroundings for those seeking separation from family areas. A Mountain Valley visitor confirms this amenity: "There's a section that is for adults 21 and older where children are not allowed."
Large dog exercise areas: Knotty Pine RV Resort provides pet-friendly facilities with space for dogs to run. "Such a fun place. Friendly staff. Very Clean. Great activities in a beautiful location," mentions a repeat visitor who appreciated the pet accommodations.
Private bathroom facilities: Individual shower and toilet rooms enhance privacy at several parks. A visitor to Park City RV Resort describes the tiered layout: "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."
Recreational activities beyond camping: Basketball courts, pickle ball facilities, and game rooms expand entertainment options at rv accommodations near Millcreek. One Echo Island review states, "Love it! I've driven by this place dozens of times to go camping elsewhere and had some reservation about it. Since it's only an hour from home, this place may become our go-to for short stays."
What you should know
Site proximity varies by tier: Upper-tier sites often provide more space than economy sections. At Park City RV Resort, a camper observed: "Half these spots are all gravel and very, very close. So close that our neighbor's slide out prevented us from really using the picnic table."
Seasonal pricing fluctuations: Rates increase substantially during peak season and holidays. One Mountain Shadows visitor reported: "Full hookup site with Good Sam was going to be $75/night selected a partial hookup (water/electric) site instead for $45/night."
Road noise considerations: Highway proximity affects campground ambience at several locations. A Riverside RV Resort camper noted: "The interstate is 20 yards from the first row of sites. It was constant traffic noise 24/7. Sometimes it would slow up a little bit so that you could hear the airplanes flying overhead."
Reservation requirements: Advance booking becomes essential during summer months and holidays. A reviewer mentioned that Echo Island RV Resort had "Reserved a few hours before arriving on a Sunday in June and there were plenty of spots."
Tips for camping with families
Creek access for children: Riverside RV Resort offers river access with shallow water suitable for wading. "River and walking trail just steps away from all sites," shares one visitor who appreciated the water proximity for family activities.
Playground availability: Several campgrounds maintain dedicated play structures for various age groups. An Echo Island visitor highlighted family amenities: "There is a tent camping and picnic area adjacent to the pool. Office has a small store with a limited selection of goods. There is a game room at the office."
Security features: Gated entrances and overnight patrols enhance family safety at certain locations. A visitor at Riverside noted the "key code to get into the grounds, just past the front office & store," providing controlled access for family security.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Mountain Shadows RV Park has variable site grades requiring leveling equipment. "Most sites were level, however 62 was NOT! Sites were fairly close but not on top of each other. Utilities were conveniently located and accessible," notes a reviewer.
Propane fire pit regulations: Wood burning restrictions exist at multiple parks, with propane alternatives permitted. A reviewer mentioned: "You can't burn firewood but you can have a propane fire pit."
Hookup configurations: Water and power connections vary by site tier and campground. "We have a small 21' travel trailer and the pull through spots are perfect!" reports one camper comparing site sizes to their rig dimensions.
