    Lakeside RV Campground

    Cute RV park close to lake Utah

    This place is very cute for established camping. It has lots of trees and a nice little walking trail. They are pet friendly. They have men's and women's restrooms with showers. They also have a pool for the warmer months. There are 2 small dog parks one for large and one for small dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

    We stayed in a back in spot which was very spacious and we had a good distance from our neighbor.

    They have designated tent camping area. If you are tent camping they do not allow you to have pets.

    Only downside is you are directly next to the Provo airport which did get active around 6 am.

    Pony Express RV Resort

    Pony Express RV Resort

    RV Heaven

    My god-father and mother come into town yearly and stay at this location in their 5th wheel. The facility is spotless! Seriously, the staff keep the entire grounds in great condition. There are dozens and dozens of spots that fit just about any size RV or 5th wheel. Every spot has water and electric hookups, picnic tables, and enough grass space to setup pet pens.

    There are several different amenities including a pool, playground for the kids, life-size chessboard, and a mini-breed dog park!

    Miner's Canyon Dispersed

    Spacious, and easy to find

    I didn't give Miner's Canyon five stars because of the excessive trash dumping that occurs at the sites. Otherwise it is a very enjoyable campsite. Spacious enough that your neighbors are distant, and quiet for the most part. Larger RVs occasionally run generators which can be noisy. The last time I camped there some folks buried their dead cat down by the water access. This seems to be somewhat common as there are two other pet graves located nearby. This dispersed camp is definitely haunted by house pets.

    Salt Lake City KOA

    Nice location to visit the city.

    Large amount of mature trees provide a nice canopy of shade. Spots are very close together. Lots of amenities: large pool, hot tub, clean bathrooms, showers, dog park, laundry.

    Salt Lake City KOA

    Great stop off, spendy but nice (and loud)

    One of the nicer KOAs. Lots of amenities (hot tub/clean bathrooms/showers/dog park/trash/laundry). The truck/tent stalls have nice tall shrubs dividing them for extra privacy.

    Be warned, if is NOT quiet - there are multiple trains/sirens/large semis blowing by all night. It was about $75 for a single night, but our original spot fell through and they were able to accommodate us last minute.

    Salt Lake City KOA

    First KOA Experience

    This was our first KOA campground. Overall, we thought it was very nice and would return. Definitely a family orientated campground with lots of activities from swimming to basketball to a game room with free games! We were on Site#722. Level spot. Not much room for our Toad but we made it work. Asphalt driveway with trees and grass patio. Pretty close to neighbors. Laundry room was large and every machine worked. There is a dog park with Astroturf that smells on hot days. But it's a good space for the pups to exercise. Also has a very nice dog wash station several people took advantage of. AT&T and T-Mobile Cell Service worked great. Cable and WiFi also available. We had to extend our stay by 2 days waiting on a package to arrive. Which their office gladly accepts package deliveries. Nearby to restaurants and shops. Only Con was we were there during the Hive Music Festival and the music was thumping and could be heard from our site for two days. Just an FYI to check the concert schedule at the Fair Grounds if that would bother you. We have a white sound machine which helped. We camped at Salt Lake City KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

    Millcreek Canyon Dispersed Camping

    Moderate Hike for Gorgeous Camping

    Hiking up Millcreek Canyon is always a treat, but seeing the sun set over the mountains to the west, and waking up to it rising over Park City is spectacular!

    The hike is moderately difficult, especially carrying overnight gear, but it’s super worth it. There are dozens of locations along the trail you can just venture off into to camp. Just to the west of Murdock Peak there are some saddles with flat areas to set up smaller tents and gaze at the surrounding area. Pets are allowed too, so bring the dog!

    Red Pine Lake

    A gorgeous hike and even more gorgeous lake!

    Red Pine Lake is located up Little Cottonwood Canyon, on the south side of the road. Parking at the trailhead can be a bit crowded during peak season (between June and September) so arrive early in the day for a good spot. The lake is a 3-4 mile hike up the trail, most of which is rather gradual. However the last mile or so is moderately difficult. 

    AllTrails.com has a great detailed overview of the trail itself and the elevation gain involved. Check it out here! 

    No fires or pets are allowed given that Little Cottonwood Canyon is considered Watershed. So plan on cooking with a backpacking stove/cooker.
