"I had the wonderful opportunity to stay the night at Salt Lake City KOA!"
"But there is an amazing Mexican restaurant right next to the campground."
$29 - $346 / night
"Bathrooms always close by, no showers. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit. If you’re lucky, you can get a site close to the creek. Nice, cool nights in the summer."
"Right up Big Cottonwood Canyon, this campground has the advantage of being up the canyon so you feel far away from the city, but close enough that you could go on a work night and still make it to the"
$28 - $401 / night
"Tucked in very back. Long ways to walk from car. Water spout next to car area. Will be sharing parking with 2 other sites. 2 lakes nearby. Fire pit with grill gate. Shaded area."

$244 / night
"It was quiet, tucked away from anyone. Didn't really see anyone for the three days we are there. Our site was next to the river, which really helped drown out all other sounds! "
"We had site 11 close to the bathroom and in a flat, sunny clearing surrounded by trees. You could hear the nearby road a bit and see the mountains a little bit."
"Convenient location right off the highway with full hook ups and nice paved sites. Dog areas, playground, games, and a pool."
"These sites a so close to each other. We only stop here to stay the night.
WiFi is ok-phone hotspot is better.
Staff is great."

"This is super close to my favorite mountain bike ride in Northern Utah - The Wasatch Crest Trail. As you can tell in the pictures, this area is very lush and rich with pine trees."
"The campsites are clean, the bathrooms are exceptionally clean with flushing toilets, you are a walk or hike away from Brighton and immersed in some of the most beautiful mountains around."
$256 / night
"We got a site with access to the river which my kids really enjoyed. There was a fun giant "sliding rock" in the area to climb on. Lots of trees for hammocks."
"The site we stayed at had many trees around to hang hammocks and also eat and picnic in the shade. There are brand new camp fires in all sites."
$35 - $200 / night
"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."
"We stayed at the "McHenry" campground in a spot right next to a creek. The traffic noise was a bit prevalent during the day because it's close to the highway. Great tent pad."
"You can backpack in and camp anywhere a 1/2 mile from any road like the other nearby canyons. Good trails to approach from are Church fork and Lambs Canyon Trailhead."
"Millcreek Canyon is home to some wonderful trails that can be accessed by foot or bike. Although the canyon offers many hiking trails, the main use of the trails seems to be for trail running."
ScoutWe love coming here! We are close to hiking and off-reading without the craziness off Mirror Lake Highway. Also, the kids love the pool and the basketball courts.
ScoutVery convenient to great recreation areas. The staff is fantastic and super helpful.
TravelerGreat off grid site - we are in Campervans - 20ft and they can easily get in here. There are bigger Caravans here as well. Nice group sized sites with camp-fires. Road in is nice and looks to be recently re-done. Lovely scenery.
GuideThey will not tell you where to go or stay if the place is plagued with flies and fluffy stuff from the cottonwood trees. They will not advise you to stay away from the lake front on the campground to avoid all those nuisances. They will however tell you that they won’t refund you for anything!! So be careful!! Good playground for the kids but the campsites themselves really don’t do it. $50.00 for a night on top of it all. Very disappointed.
TravelerThe hiking trails are cool. You’ll see some bison, lizards, jack rabbits, and unique, for us, terrain.
Nobody in my family was willing to swim in the lake. Which is beautiful from a distance.
TravelerOnly stayed for one night, but the sites were all super clean and well maintained. Close to some good hiking trails!
TravelerWent with 3 kids 8-1.5yrs. We left a voicemail and were texted back letting us know about the availability. We spent Sunday to Monday on site. Checkout time was 1 pm. Which is perfect with kids giving us time to pack up. The site is intended for RV's and parking like a parking lot, with just enough space for your Tent and a canopy with 2 cars in the spot with the fire pit. Only Secondary Water available, it has a pump out and flushing toilets in the bathroom. There is a stream nearby with walking access. My littlest one walked around without shoes and was okay for grass and weeds to soften his feet. Another note is that this should be generator free. But we did have 1 person in the park run their generator past midnight. You can also hear the freeway as it is nearby.
ScoutStill a bit cool in May, but as the leads come in there are spots with decent coverage and 10 minutes from strawberry reservoir
GuideAs beautiful as the view was, I felt it was ruined with all of the trash that people have left behind in the dispersed camping area as well as along the lakeshore. Tents, pillows, sleeping bags, glass, etc. There also seems to be majority long term campers who have a lot of stuff everywhere around their campsites, as well as 2-3 permanent residents living on the private property that backs up against the public lands. While there are 10-12 spots that are easily accessible, they’re being utilized by the long-term campers. Our first night here we arrived around 8 pm, right before sunset so we didn’t have a lot of time to explore so we just parked in the larger area near the public access area to the lake by 3 other campers. Luckily the next morning a camper van left so we were able to move without being on top of so many people since the people we were around all had dogs barking almost every time we let ours out to go to the bathroom. Overall, I felt like this campsite left more to be desired and took away from the beauty of the area.
