"Really nice RV resort near Interstate. Pull throughs or back in on paved level sites. Picnic table. FHU. Sites typically close with grass area seperating. No shade or privacy. Narrow interior roads."
"Very helpful employees, clean and pet friendly. Can see mountains all around you. Great WiFi and good water. Three dog parks and dog washing bay."
"The Lagoon RV Park has a lot to offer from tent sites to huge pull throughs for the biggest rigs. Right next door to the Lagoon Amusement Park, it is super convenient."
"Spots were clean, lots of shade from trees. One thing to note is the prices are slightly different than listed here."
"The location of these grounds is money. You have direct access to the bike path that leads directly into Old Town Park City and links you with lots of other trails."
"We paid almost $50 for full hook ups on the second level. A back in site really close to two other RVs on dirt/rocks. But even though it’s right off the highway it was reasonably quiet."
$50 - $300 / night
"The store was well stocked. And the staff were all extremely helpful and friendly."

$25 - $80 / night
GuideWe 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
RangerCute park, just an hour from Salt Lake City. The main attraction is a reservoir but I think there’s hiking nearby too. We went with friends who have been going to this same place for years and they showed us the best places for swimming and diving. Seems popular for family reunions (and being in Utah family reunions are BIG). Campsite is State Park so it’s clean, basic facilities, and the usual not-super-private sites. Some are more wooded and private. No reservations so get there early in summer. The accessible sites looked very nice.
LegendReally nice RV resort near Interstate. Pull throughs or back in on paved level sites. Picnic table. FHU. Sites typically close with grass area seperating. No shade or privacy. Narrow interior roads. Nice bathhouses with private shower/toilets. Wifi and cable. Great play area. Bikes available including kid sized. Paved 80 mile bike trail along Jordan River. Giant chessboard. Nice pool area. Amazing clubhouse with pool table, foosball, large TV, comfy chairs, guest kitchen area. Complimentary coffee, tea and fresh made cookies. Friendly, helpful employees!
LegendYou 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.
GuideWould have like to have stayed a few extra days Clean quiet Rv Park nice pull through sites! Facilities were clean and secure nice large dog run for real dogs not little foo foo pups
GuideThis 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.
TravelerYou can get to this beautiful campground in under an hour from Salt Lake City and it's my favorite place to go when I want to camp and kayak! The campground and surrounding mountains are very scenic-it doesn't get much prettier! Plus if you like to have things to do while you're camping, this is a good area. You can kayak and paddle board at the lake, four wheel, etc. We always bring our dog and she loves it as well. Can't go wrong here if you want to mountain camp!
GuideThe Lagoon RV Park has a lot to offer from tent sites to huge pull throughs for the biggest rigs. Right next door to the Lagoon Amusement Park, it is super convenient. Lots of grass and some decent space between sites. We stayed during the Halloween Fright weekend and from Wednesday to Friday at around 2pm, we were about the only ones there. Then the place exploded with campers and by 7pm the place was full. Nice bike and hike trails near by. Close to Salt Lake city. Don't miss the Big Cottonwood Canyon Drive up to Park City. Amazing.
RangerCamped 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.
