"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."
$20 - $225 / night
"Rockport State park in Utah, at the Crandall Cove sites. Sites are well kept, the reservoir is really low. Hiking is nice. Bike trails are well kept."
"We always pick a spot near the water and each spot seems to be a good distance away from where others are camping - which is nice."
$28 - $31 / night
"Clean area, plenty of activities to do close by, far enough away from civilization to make the trip worth it."
"There are some good hiking trails near by. The lake is walking distance and is not crowded. Lots of wildlife to enjoy and to be on the look out for."
$50 - $300 / night
"Really fun place in Utah. This was my dogs favorite campground so far. They have so much room to walk, and plenty of wildlife around to keep them interested."
"The reason for lower rating is the proximity to the highway."
$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"

"Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying."
"He was helpful and provided wonderful advice for the rest of our trip in Utah (Moab). The sites are a bit close, but the campground was quiet and clean.
Our girls enjoyed the pool and hot tub."
$28 - $62 / night
"Both campgrounds do have walk-up sites available and can be paid for with cash only. Sites are $21 per night."
"Site#27 is an inside site, so no access to any of the rivers. It has 3 spaces for medium to small tents. Our large tent did not quite fit, so we didn't pull it to it's full width."
$22 - $24 / night
"I really do feel this is one of the most beautiful places in Utah. It was so beautiful when I visited it. It felt like you were staying in the middle of a great valley."
"Having grown up near here, I love going back to camp at this site. It had flushing toilets, a fill station, and a dump station."
$28 - $92 / night
"This was one of the best non-lakeside campsites I stopped at while moving along Mirror Lake Hwy!"
"This is a great campground especially for off road vehicles. Our family has been going there for years and it is one of my favorite spots in the uintas. The bugs are minimal."
$25 - $40 / night
"Campground is nothing special and doesn't really have a great view of the lake despite its name."
"Only $15 per night and that gives you free access to the reservoir"
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
TravelerPaved campsites in a birch & scrub forest. Friendly hosts. Fire pit/grill combo and large wooden picnic table in good shape. Overall a nice campground.
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.
TravelerMyself and 7 other friends just drove up this last weekend and camped for 2 days.
We dealt with rain and even snow on the last morning… But there was green grass and a spot for fires and the Sheriffs rolls through and are super helpful as well.
We found a spot that was more of a hill, which made it neat to get around, but the site was LITTERED with spent ammo, broken glass and broken pieces of clay pigeons. Another group camping near us told us they found the same at their site so be weary of where you step up here.
Great for dispersed camping, but watch out for bears and mountain lions as well and make sure you follow the food rules and lock your cars. We didn't see or hear anything, but the Sheriff that stopped by warned us.
Cell service is also spotty here. I have Xfinity Mobile and I had decent coverage here and there.... everyone else had T-Mobile and they were also spotty, but more so compared to mine, so AT&T (who I think XM uses) is slightly better.
ScoutThe surrounding area is full of closed roads making this spot inaccessible.
TravelerLoved this site, cost $40 to tent camp. Bathrooms were very clean and site was great!
GuideSome awesome flat areas with a creek if you go in spring. Nice and quiet. Nearby shooting range.
