    Tanners Flat

    Amazing

    Paid sites Easy drive up

    Keep in mind other campers are near but not right by you depending on site.

    We went last summer and cant wait to go back

    Running water Hook ups Tent spots

    Good for groups or singles

    Feel free to book its about 20$ a night Its well worth it and its not to far from home but not to close either.

    Stayed at multiple spots looking to get back again this summer.

    Please check out my other reviews. More to come. Happy camping.

    Nunns Park

    Close to river and in the mountains with a highway close by.

    This is a great place to pitch a tent or come up and stay for the day. The only bad part about this camp site is all the highway noise. It is close to the Provo river and there is lots of shade so that is nice. Great place to have a camp fire and cook some S'mores.  The bike path is close so bring your long board or bike and go for a ride. This is withing walking distance from Bridal Vail Falls so that is a great day hike and see the falls. Also great fly fishing in the Provo river so do yourself a favor and bring your fishing gear.

    Granite Flat (utah)

    Quiet, shaded area

    Quite area, lot of room. I stayed on site 58 (tent only). Enough room for 2 medium tents. Next/above stream. Tucked in very back. Long ways to walk from car. Water spout next to car area. Will be sharing parking with 2 other sites. 2 lakes nearby. Fire pit with grill gate. Shaded area. Full sun from 10am-4pm.

    Little Mill

    Great for short trip

    My family of five enjoyed this campground. We got a site with access to the river which my kids really enjoyed. There was a fun giant "sliding rock" in the area to climb on. Lots of trees for hammocks. Downside is it's right next to a busy highway and picnic areas. Although the campsite has quiet hours, the picnic area across the street stayed loud well past quiet hours. The road noise was a lot more than I expected.. especially at night. Definitely bring ear plugs or plan to stay only a nite or two. We planned on staying three nights, but were so exhausted by lack of sleep we left a day early.

    Little Mill

    Camp by the creek

    I got a site right by the creek. Set up my hammock and listen to the running water.

    Only negative is the site is off the main canyon road and there is some traffic noise during the day.

    Utah Lake State Park Campground

    Lots of trees for shade and lots of bugs.

    This is a fun place to stay when you want to go someplace close. There are lots of trees for the summer months and lots of shade. There are a couple good beaches. This is Utah's biggest fresh water lake. There are lots, and lot of bug so bring bug spray.

    Awesome mountain views. Good fishing in the Provo river or lake fishing. You can build a fire and get firewood from camp host. There is full hook ups and also spots for a tent. Most spots have a pavilion and nice tables. Great bathrooms with running water. I can't remember which spot we stayed at but they are were really nice.

    Uinta National Forest Blackhawk Campground

    If I were to go back...

    I would reserve a spot ahead of time, avoiding any site in loop 'E'. That loop is for those planning to camp with horses. There are hitching posts at every site, therefore, lots of horse poo. And not the best place to take a dog because of all the horses in the area.

    The camp host at loop 'E' and 'D' is very nice, and is willing to split up group areas to individuals who have no where else to set up camp. If you do this, expect to get to know new people as you will share a fire pit and eating area.

    The fee to camp for one night is $20, but that includes access to any of the Payson lakes, which is $8 for day use.

    We didn't go on any hikes during our stay, as we bummed at the beautiful lakes (only the middle of the three lakes is dog friendly) all day. However, there is plenty of hiking in the area.

    Very hot. Around 90 degrees. Wake up and get breakfast early. Then enjoy the water in the heat!

    P.S. 3 stars due to the fact that I had to camp in horse crap.

    Spruces - Big Cottonwood

    Great camping spot close to SLC

    Right up Big Cottonwood Canyon, this campground has the advantage of being up the canyon so you feel far away from the city, but close enough that you could go on a work night and still make it to the office the next day. Fire pits and restrooms are near campsites, but note that the gate closes late at night so expect to walk from the road if you show up too late. More of a loud, lively site than a quiet spot in the wilderness. A fun place for camping and making s'mores with friends.

    Nunns Park

    Get the sites near the river

    $20 to camp here. The sites are very close together with lots of foot, bike, and skateboarding traffic passing nearby. I was lucky to get a site near the river which drowned out the noise. Each site has a parking spot, space for 2 tents, a coal grill, fire pit, and picnic table.
