GuideNice little spot. I camped in my truck and the spot was fine. Might be tight with a large rig and not as level. But fine for a small rig.
LegendI know some people had a huge issue with bugs. Maybe its because we came towards the end of October. But the only issue with bugs we had were a few annoying flies. This place is absolutely stunning. Ended up staying 2 nights. One night was very windy since there isnt much to protect you from the wind. Bathrooms have showers and flush toilets. Literally no one was here after the Bison roundup weekend. And the sunsets were spectacular !
LegendI like that the spots are paved. Close to a road causing lots of traffic noise. Not much privacy between sites either. But lots of grassy places to play
ScoutFantastic location, price and staff.
ScoutMy wife, dog, and I spent 3 days here. Have a friend with a boat at the local ramp and enjoyed an evening on the water. Great facilities and staff.
TravelerWonderful views of Great Salt Lake. Plenty of bison. Other wildlife best seen hiking or biking on the trails, which are the ways this park is best seen. Bring mosquito netting for the “no-see-ums” in the Spring. Winnebago Travato with dogs.
TravelerWater level is extremely low at the lake, so if you have any water related activities planned you probably need to look elsewhere.
TravelerBeautiful park with ample wildlife. A bison walked through our campgrounds. Stargazing is amazing.
RangerThere is not a bad site here. Clean, level, concrete pads, picnic tables, clean bathrooms and separate individual showers. The road to get here was narrow with steep drop offs. But people get their boats up here. There is a marina.
Cabin accommodations near Sandy, Utah provide convenient access to outdoor recreation within 30-45 minutes of the Salt Lake City area. Nestled between the Wasatch Mountains and Utah Lake, these cabins sit at elevations ranging from 4,500 to 7,000 feet. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, with summer daytime highs often reaching 90°F while winter temperatures frequently drop below freezing at higher elevation sites.
Fishing opportunities: East Canyon State Park offers cabin stays with easy lake access. "We enjoyed the sunrise over the lake and watching wildlife. We were able to spot many species of birds as well as deer, sheep, & prairie dogs," reports Kalli W. about Big Rock Campground.
Mountain biking trails: Cabin visitors at Wasatch Mountain State Park can access nearby trail systems. "It's close to 2 reservoirs, tons of dirt bike and side by side trails, and Heber city. There's also a few group sites with pavilions," notes David T. about Pine Creek Campground.
Winter activities: Several cabin locations operate year-round for cold weather access to snow sports. "Given how close it is to the city, Tanners Flat has always been a little too busy for our family during the full swing of summer. September/early October gives cooler temperatures and less crowds, and we got to see some lovely fall colors," shares Sara M.
Hot springs access: Cabins near Heber City provide base camps for exploring natural springs. "Very convenient to great recreation areas. The staff is fantastic and super helpful," says John G. about River's Edge at Heber Valley.
Wildlife viewing: Many cabin locations offer opportunities to see native animals. "An amazing place to kick back, relax, and hangout with bison. They walk up and graze through the campsites which is a beautiful thing to wake up to," writes John C. about Bridger Bay Campground.
Proximity to attractions: Most cabin rentals around Sandy provide easy access to both wilderness and urban amenities. "Convenient location right off the highway with full hook ups and nice paved sites. Dog areas, playground, games, and a pool. Easy access to the Jordan River Trail for running, biking, or sunset walks," notes cheriana G.
Reservation timing: Most cabin sites fill quickly during peak season. "It can be tricky to get a spot here in the summer. Make sure to call ahead!" advises Joseph L. about Tanners Flat.
Water restrictions: Watershed regulations affect activities at some cabin locations. "NO Dogs allowed in the canyon - it is a watershed. Very popular spot for locals to day trip or weekend trip," explains Andrea P.
Site specifications: Cabin facilities and amenities vary significantly between locations. "This campground has 3 loops. 1 for tents, 1 for medium size trailers. 1 for large trailers. Check the website or call the guard station before booking to double check," recommends David T.
Seasonal pests: Some locations experience insect issues during specific months. "Lovely scenery, water is currently off so no showers but has a clean pit toilet. Only downside was the no see um flys you can't for a walk without getting swarmed by them and bitten. Best to visit in the autumn when the flys have gone," warns Georgia L.
Playground access: Look for cabin locations with dedicated play spaces. "This is a big campground but the sites are pretty private....separated by giant bushes. Not one of my favorites, but the proximity to Park City is key. Facilities are clean," notes Stefanie I.
Kid-friendly amenities: Several cabin sites offer additional attractions for children. "We pulled in later in the evening with no reservation and was able to find a spot with full hook-ups for our camper. It was a nice campground, well maintained and pretty! Nice paved paths for our kiddos to right their scooters and fun water activities available to the kids for free (water bounce house etc)," shares susanna R. about Big Rock Campground.
Swimming options: Many cabin locations offer water recreation. "My family and I have been coming here for years. It has a lot of trailer spots that are almost all pull throughs and have hook ups. It's fun to bring kayaks and float the river," says Jake V. about Echo Island RV Resort.
Hookup considerations: Full-service cabins often provide similar amenities to RV sites. "Like others have said…if you want space to spread out this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a place that is convenient, full hook up, level concrete pads, subdivision desperate house wife's camping addition this is the place to be!" explains Cole A.
Off-season advantages: Shoulder season cabin stays offer better availability and rates. "September/early October gives cooler temperatures and less crowds, and we got to see some lovely fall colors. The camp hosts were excellent as well. As SLC natives, we're making this our yearly fall tradition!" recommends Sara M.
Space limitations: Some cabin sites have tighter spacing than dispersed camping options. "This is a pretty decent park. There are a lot of amenities, clean facilities, and concrete pads. The sites are pretty close together so if you like your space, this probably isn't the best place," warns Nicole B. about Pony Express RV Resort.
