Jordanelle State Park offers developed campgrounds with full hookups at Hailstone and Rock Cliff areas, situated approximately 10 miles from downtown.

Many sites require advance reservations or permits, especially during peak summer months from June through August. Camping in the Park City region spans elevations from 5,000 to over 8,000 feet, affecting temperatures and seasonal access. One camper shared, "The temperature in July was 98, but there's lots of shade" at Spruces Campground in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Rough roads and narrow clearings limit access in some parts of the region, particularly for dispersed camping areas.

Most developed campgrounds operate from late spring through early fall, with limited winter camping options available at lower elevations.

Campers report high satisfaction with sites near lakes and reservoirs. Jordanelle State Park receives positive reviews for its proximity to water recreation and mountain views. "Jordanelle reservoir is a destination of its own but is a 10 minute drive from Park City. Clean bathrooms and showers make this a great place to camp if you are doing water or mountain sports," noted one visitor. Wildlife viewing opportunities exist at several campgrounds, with Redman Campground known for moose sightings. While some campgrounds like Mountain Valley RV Resort offer amenities including pools, hot tubs, and laundry facilities, others provide more rustic experiences with vault toilets and no hookups. Cell service varies throughout the region, with better coverage at campgrounds closer to town and limited connectivity in canyon areas.
