This is a great area to camp
Great camp spot and right next to lagoon
Brrn coming here since I was a kid
Great location and camp ground was clean camp host were great
We have overnighted at Aspen twice. It is immaculate and well organized. Staff has been super friendly.
Right off the highway only 15 minutes from the city, it is surrounded by trees, plants, and then a creek of which all come together to take you into a nice hidden getaway. The sites were big and great for tents, and the environment nice seeing that so many people were hiking and fishing yet everyone was quiet at night. As for the bathrooms, they could definitely be better, and the bear dumpster was a little far. There were trash bins by the bathroom labeled "non-household items" which seemingly confuse some people who were definitely throwing trash in those bins, which is obviously something that should be better managed fr the sake of the visitors and bears.
If the bathrooms were cleaner, I think id easily give this a 5/5
Nice layout with good space between sites. The highway 80 noise is terrible but f course not the hosts issue.
Nice little campground. The host is a tad overbearing and out and about all day long. The bugs are surprisingly bad, tons of mosquitoes. It’s also not the place if you have a big trailer. We have a 33ft and barely fit, and it was a bit of a dance to get it to fit in the spot we had. Overall nice campground
Very clean, easy access with military base access. The staff was very nice, make sure you setup in your assigned space (my mistake) or you will have to move to the correct site. Commissary and exchange are well stocked and one of the best I’ve seen. As on most active military bases a lot of activity. Many aircraft taking off and landing. Famcamp is located next to the gym and track. There is a nice playground and splash pad for the kids (or the kids in us). There is a picnic area with a pavilion. Sites are close together on level concrete pads except overflow is gravel. Water sewer and electric are close. Wi-Fi was spotty. Overall great place to stay Salt Lake City is close and a lot to do. The base is nestled in between spectacular mountains.
