Top 10+ Campgrounds near Vernon, UT

Showed up to book a RV site after checking the rates on the website ti be told they don’t have one. Rates are $40 after taxes a day and doesn’t change until monthly but even then not by much.

I’ve camped here a couple times. Not bad for desert camping. It’s a good spot for winter camping.

Pros

• Many Camping Spots
• Tons of Rocks for Fire Pits
• Great Spot for Large Bonfires
• There are some Juniper Trees for Privacy and Shade

Cons

• There aren’t many dead trees for wood
• Not very peaceful during the day because it’s a popular spot for OHV vehicles
• Coyotes are very active at night
• Not the prettiest spot

Remote spot right next to a creek. Listening to the creek flow is great. Surprisingly busier area for the first week of April, and there were a lot of people riding ATVs and dirt bikes. Other than that it was beautiful and quiet.

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.

We just wanted a rest for a night after a long drive and a hot shower. The facility looks very old. My wife went to take a shower and came back in just under a minute. She told me that there was no hot water running. I went to the front desk and asked why there was no hot water. She told me that if someone is doing laundry, we have to wait until they are done with laundry. So you could run out of hot water in the middle of the shower if someone does laundry.

I was too tired to move to another place. I would not recommend anyone if they are looking for a hot shower.

We stopped on our way through the SLC area heading home. There are few options available being in a more populated area. The RV park was exactly as expected. Facilities were clean. There were alot of campers there on a more permanent basis which didn’t affect my review. The staff clearly take pride in keeping the park clean for everyone. It is noisy from the freeway but didn’t that was a surprise. The staff were very friendly. As we prefer dispersed camping I wouldn’t stay more than a night or two but would recommend others to visit if in need of a spot while in the area.

Quiet and affordable. Really well maintained with a playground and reservoir for the kids. Perfect stop near SLC...definitely coming back!

This is BLM. A couple of different camping sites. Most have fire rings but no water or bathrooms. You will need a 4x4 with high clearance to get up the mountain (the road is rough). There are sites at the bottom of the mountain that you can get an RV or car in but those are crowded and around the shooting range. We had a great time at the top with beautiful views and quiet. Nobody else around. oHV area too.

They work with u nice and helpful we changed our check out date 3 times and they got it all figured it out.

Arrived very late. Very easy to find. Directions brought us right to the location. Road was rough into the sites and were hard to determine specific sites. Ended up pulling into edge of field. Definitely a good quiet night's sleep

Rough roads. The main one isn’t so bad but the side roads are awful. Tons of flies. Like actually so many. Campsites are far away from each other which was nice. Fire ring was filled with trash. Lake is disgusting, dead fish on shore and trash, don’t swim in it. An obviously “long term” resident said he wouldn’t swim in it, one of the factories on the other side of the lake dump into it.

It’s just beside an hotel and a road so it’s loudy but this spot have electric, water which can be good.

After a long day of travel we just wanted to get to any site and camp. This is a national forest so there is technically a park permit required. However, we have an annual park pass and they accept that as well. It is an honor system kind of park permit. They ask you to scan the QR code or pay at the self pay station. $10 for a 3day pass, $20 for a 7 day pass.

The drive up to this site is winding and the cars seem to be used to driving it because they come around the corners pretty fast. Drive carefully and stay on your side of the road. It site is just after mile marker 17.

The site is huge! Lots of space for people, cars, RVs and trailers. The road is paved until you turn in and then it’s a regular dirt road.

The major con in this park in general is the bathrooms are yucky especially at this site.

This seems to be a local hangout for the youngsters as well. They were not a bother to us however, they were letting loose, having a good time at their site. They left around 11 or so.

No service with AT&T

There is one campsite with a sign that says 3 day public camping. It is a huge dirt lot with a few shade trees and creek. About 1/4 mile after this location are 5 more Creekside campsites on the left side of the road ( if coming from Goshen ) they are unmarked. All campsites in this area are on BLM or state land. Please do not overstay your welcome. They have discussed blocking them off due to people staying for way to long and leaving trash.

The road leading here is very bumpy. There are two specific spots that are really bad. 4x4 is almost a requirement. I did however see some people make it up in a van so it is possible. The coordinates lead to an open field with a lot of campsites. I would suggest parking in the lot a little further ahead on the left. This road is a popular destination so people ride up and down it a lot. The views are well worth it and there is also some hiking trails around here as well. There are more dispersed camping sites further along this road. I was able to get a very spotty one bar signal of Verizon while near the coordinates.
