Best RV Parks & Resorts near Salem, UT

Several RV parks surround Salem, Utah, providing convenient options for motorhome travelers. Lakeside RV Campground in Provo offers year-round full hookup sites with 30/50 amp service, shaded by mature trees throughout the property. Canyon View RV Park in Spanish Fork features back-in sites with water and electric hookups on concrete pads, though spaces are arranged in a parking lot configuration. "All sites are back in and spaced in a large parking lot. Picnic table per site in the shade under the trees by your site; level site; all concrete," notes one RV camper. Mountain Valley RV Resort in Heber City provides luxury big rig friendly sites with full hookups, while Gladstan Golf Course RV Park in Payson accommodates larger rigs with 50 amp service on level sites.

Cell service varies significantly between parks, with most offering adequate coverage for remote work needs. On-site dump stations are available at Lakeside and Canyon View, though the latter requires using a portable waste tote rather than direct RV connection. Pet owners will find designated dog areas at several parks, including Mountain Shadows RV Park which features "a big beautiful dog run area with a waterfall." Summer temperatures can reach uncomfortable levels, making parks with shade trees particularly valuable. Proximity to highways creates convenient access but introduces road noise at some locations. Most RV parks in the region require reservations, especially during peak travel seasons and holidays, with rates typically ranging from $25-55 per night depending on hookup types and amenities.

    Mountain Shadows RV Park

    Perfect overnight stay for us

    We are a 40 foot with a tow. We only stayed here over night as we were passing through. Place was clean, friendly staff, spacious sites, ours had nice grass, dog friendly. Big beautiful dog run area with a waterfall. This would be a great long term or a it’s a very easy on off expressway stop. High recommend

    Canyon View RV Park

    Just a parking lot, but in a beautiful park/awesome walk/bike trail!

    First come, first serve, dump station on site(back of parking lot), friendly camphost; great access to an awesome bike/walk trail, close to town& Walmart 

    SITE: Water and Electricity only and all amenities worked great. All sites are back in and spaced in a large parking lot. Picnic table per site in the shade under the trees by your site; level site; all concrete; the sites are close together, but it wasn't full so the RVers thoughtfully spaced out from each other; full sun

    CELL SERVICE: AT&T worked great- not all bars but it worked well for use working remote and no issues with video calls using our hotspot. 

    OTHER: Located on the edge of Canyon View Park. The park had just closed as they prep for their annual Christmas light show, but you could still walk on the trail through the park to access the main bike/walk trail which was awesome and goes on for many miles! We loved using this everyday we were there. Bathroom in the park was really clean. Dump station is in the parking lot(super convenient) on the back side. It was super gusty, windy at night and consistent every night from about 11pm- 10am. Maybe it's just seasonal? Make sure your awning is in!

    Chokecherry Campground — Deer Creek State Park

    Decent state park

    Camped here last minute while driving through. Well-run, easy check in, reasonably priced.

    There are both primitive tent and RV sites with hookups. Small to large sites, back-in and a few pull through. Lots of trees and lilac bushes offer some privacy.

    Fire rings, plus BBQ grills, picnic tables at each site. Centrally located bathrooms were clean. Water, trash and dump station by entrance.

    The campground is on an incline so there are decent views of the reservoir from just about anywhere and the mountain backdrop to the east. Small but clean beach. There was also ziplining and kayak rentals at the state park but both were closed due to COVID.

    Would camp here again.

    Lodgepole Campground

    Lodgepole Campground - Group Site B

    Nice basic campground just coming out of Heber City, UT on your way to Strawberry Reservoir. This is a fairly large campground with numerous sites. The group site parking was shallow. We could barely fit our 19 ft travel trailer and our truck. Outside of the group site it appears there are deeper sites that could accommodate a long fifth wheel. Parking space is wide enough to park another car next to trailer. There are a few tent sites as around the group site pavilion.

    No hookups for RV’s. Dump station on site for $10 fee. RV spots are back in only. There is running water and flushable toilets on site; however, the water line was under repair and not turned on during our stay. It sounds like the repairs have been going on for a long time.

    There is cellular service, but it’s a little slow. I have sprint carrier and had service.

    Negatives: The campground is close a highway incline/decline which is frequented by Semi’s which bring lots of noise to the campground throughout the day and into the night.

    Stinging Nettle: lots of stinging nettle located around group site B, so stay on the paths as much as possible.

    Tanners Flat

    Good location for exploring Wasatch Mountains and Salt Lake City

    You really need to know this: No dogs are allowed because this campground is in the Salt Lake City watershed.

    And this: As inviting as the water running through the campground may look, you are not allowed to swim, wade or wash in it.

    One more thing: Gate closes at 10 pm although that didn't stop some partiers at the next site in from us. They partied and left around 11 or so. There was no payment tag on the post. The exit is open but has tire shredders if you enter over them.

    A pleasant surprise at a Forest Service campground: 10 lbs of ice for $2! (There was also the usual bundle of firewood for $6.)

    An unpleasant surprise: Old, dirty bathrooms. I've seen cleaner vault toilets elsewhere than these flush toilets.

    There is no water for now (July 2018) in bathroom sinks or at spigots. The host said something about a pipe issue and water needing to be tested. That covers the amenities other than dumpsters.

    What about the sites? We arrived on a Sunday morning when the host was putting up signs indictating which sites were reserved. We had 3 possible sites among 1 through 19 and grabbed #9, a pull through site with a buffer between the road in the parking/small RV area.

    Sites in the other area (higher numbers) were becoming available, but that area's host said many of the sites were only appropriate for tents.

    Our site #9: There are a few steps down to the picnic table, fire ring and grill plus a separate area to the left for a tent. See photos.

    General site info:

    • Some sites have a concrete pad for the picnic table, etc.

    • Many sites have an area for the tent that is away from the picnic table and concealed from the road.

    Tie Fork Rest Area

    Good Off-Highway Rest Area

    Large almost level paved parking area. Good modern rest rooms. Good picnic tables with displays behind rest rooms. Dedicated dog area. Bring ear plugs due to big rig generators and infrequent train horn. Several RVs and big rigs parked here during my overnight stay.

    Lakeside RV Campground

    Great access to Provo & Utah Lake

    Lakeside was our home for 3 nights while we were in town for Provo’s annual Colonial Festival. I really loved the proximity of this campground to Provo City—12mins to downtown, and the incredible tree coverage here. This campground is beautifully shaded and quite enjoyable for spending time outside on the grounds—even in July.

    Across Center St. and behind a field is Provo Airport which is home to (I think,) smaller aircraft as they are audible from the campgrounds, though not excessive. To the west of the campground, separated by a fence is the Lakeside Storage Facility that houses a TON of petrol signs, gadgets & a few vehicles— a free, outdoor museum of gas station memorabilia from a different time. The north side of the campground is surrounded by a quite large river that you can access by a hiking over a large dirt berm. Although this area beside the river is not maintained by the campground, there are stairs in one spot and a couple of foot trails that can take you to the top of the berm. Here you’ll be able to walk along a narrow trail along the river, nearly across the entire north side of the grounds.

    This campground is VERY tight knit, as most of the spots don’t have much of a yard and if you have slides you need to be careful not to hit anything. I feel we got the worst site on the grounds— J1. Our 30’ rig hardly fit in the spot and made it difficult to park our truck every day as well as making it difficult for vehicles to pull their rigs behind our spot, squeezing behind our trailer bumper and the fenced dog run. Our yard was also the smallest there, about 2’ at the widest point, narrowing to points at each end. This pull-through spot was the worst part of our experience, but I would definitely like to return.

    The front office staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. I’m fairly certain that we could have swapped our spot if we had asked to do so. We used the dog run & playground nearly everyday and stopped by the pool and store a couple of times. This campground seems very well cared-for and was so enjoyable to us that we would return—however next time, we would attempt to reserve a specific spot rather than take the chance at once again landing on J1. All of the sites on the north side of the grounds (purple back-in,) looked wonderful; shaded & quiet, and a few of the sites in the east/ middle side of the grounds like B12 looked wonderful. Most of the end sites in the middle of the campground had a much more enjoyable yard-area. Had we not booked so near Independence Day, we may have been able to request one of these more “premium” sites.

    I think we’d like to camp here again when we have friends or family camping with us, we can request a larger site and spend some wonderful summer evenings under the huge shade trees.

    Payson Lakes

    Remote, Quiet and Beautiful

    Located in National Forest at 8,000 ft with lots of sites, many of them pull through with fire rings. Lots of trees for privacy and, when we were there 8/25 - 8/27, were the only ones other than the camp hosts. Brought bikes and there were ample riding areas. A couple miles up the hill at 9,000 ft the views are truly spectacular. Continuing over the 38 mile scenic highway is well worth the drive with sheer drop offs demanding full attention ending in Nephi.


Guide to Salem

Salem, Utah sits at an elevation of 4,800 feet in central Utah County, bordered by Spanish Fork Peak to the east. Most campgrounds in this area experience wide temperature fluctuations, with summer highs averaging in the mid-90s and winter lows dropping to the 20s. Cell reception varies significantly between campgrounds within a 30-mile radius of Salem, particularly in canyon areas.

What to Do

Mountain biking access: Mountain Valley RV Resort in Heber City serves as a gateway to numerous trails. "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," notes Carlyne F.

Fishing opportunities: Lakeside RV Campground provides convenient access to Utah Lake. "We enjoyed a one night stay. Pull through sites with grass between. Pool was very nice. Cute little store," reports Denise P., who stayed at Lakeside. The campground is walking distance to Utah Lake where fishing is permitted.

Off-road adventures: Knotty Pine RV Resort offers direct trail access for UTVs. "We were also able to rent a Razor UTV on site and took a mapped out 4 hr drive through our beautiful mountains, straight out of the campground," shares Cindy H. The resort serves as an alternative to the busier Mirror Lake Highway recreation areas.

What Campers Like

Clean facilities: Mountain Valley RV Resort maintains high standards for their amenities. "The facilities are very new and always clean, nice big private restrooms with showers, two laundry facilities, two hot tubs and two pools, basketball and other gaming courts," writes Zoe M.

Quiet atmosphere: Jones High Country RV Park offers a peaceful experience despite proximity to highways. "Though the campground is right on the road, it's not a busy one and you don't really hear cars when inside," explains Kelsey G., who notes the "beautiful mountain backdrop" as another appealing feature.

Pet amenities: Mountain Shadows RV Park includes designated pet areas. "Dog friendly. Big beautiful dog run area with a waterfall," notes Donna H., who stayed at this campground in Draper. The site is popular for overnight stays with convenient highway access.

What You Should Know

High water pressure: Several campgrounds require water regulators. "The spots are not level, and the water pressure is high. Make sure you have a water regulator," advises Kelly N. about Gladstan Golf Course RV Park.

Reservation requirements: Most parks fill quickly during summer months. "We booked only about a week ahead of time, so we knew we wouldn't have one of the better plots. The place was emptier on the weekdays and filled-up on the weekends," reports kristin S. about Park City RV Resort.

Fire restrictions: Fire policies vary considerably between parks. At Canyon View RV Park, fires are not permitted at all, while Knotty Pine Resort allows fires. "We were allowed fires. People were there with dogs in leashes," notes Marie E., highlighting the variation in campground policies.

Tips for Camping with Families

Pool availability: Rollin' Home RV Park offers family-friendly facilities. "It has nice large sites, very clean. This is a new campground so the bathrooms weren't done yet, but the hook ups and sites are level and have clean picnic tables and green grass at every site," explains laura L.

Playground options: Several campgrounds include recreation facilities for children. "The kids love the pool and the basketball courts," states Brant H. about Knotty Pine Resort, mentioning its proximity to hiking and off-roading opportunities.

Walking paths: Many campgrounds feature accessible trails. "Located on the edge of Canyon View Park. The park had just closed as they prep for their annual Christmas light show, but you could still walk on the trail through the park to access the main bike/walk trail which was awesome," shares Julia M.

Tips from RVers

Seasonal considerations: RV campgrounds near Salem, Utah often close certain sections during winter months. "The bottom level also had nice grassy areas for kids to play in. It was closed for the winter as of Oct 9th though," notes Courtney about Park City RV Resort.

Site leveling challenges: Many sites require leveling equipment. "I had to use 3 yellow square leveling blocks on the left side. Hopefully they fixed this under the new ownership," explains Kenyon about Pleasant Creek Ranch. Most parks have gravel pads rather than concrete.

Dump station variations: Not all parks offer direct sewer connections. At Canyon View RV Park, "The 'dump station' is at the end of the second parking area and can not be used by pulling your RV up to it, you must have a tote to use," explains one reviewer, highlighting the importance of checking amenity details when booking.
