"I loved the location because it wasn't far off the main highway, had decent road access and offered great views, a simple hike to a nice promontory and near running water (unpotable)."
"This campsite is beautiful, and fairly close to Moab and the Arches entrance. There are gorgeous views of the mountains and cliffs and the lake is nice to hike around."
"Very busy with RVs but there is dispersed camping behind the resivoir. Good views. Good vibes."
"I like that this locations feels primitive, but isn’t far from civilization. We went in March and it was a little cold, but we setup the trailer and the heater worked great."
"This is our go to campground if we don’t want to drive too far from our house."
"One can hear the cars from the highway, but they are far enough. When I arrived around 8, there was one Atv crusing for another 15 minutes, but then silence for the whole night. Good spot and free!"
"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."
"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"
"Nice thing to is its right next to the sand dunes as well. Just make sure to bring lots of water and possibly shade if you decide to go in the middle of the summer."
$15 / night
"$15 a night Dogs allowed"
"A bit crowded when we arrived around 7:30pm but we managed to find a site without issue."
$15 - $30 / night
"We stayed here for one night didn't go past the gate we just camped pretty much on the side of the dirt road next to the reservoir."
"You’ll love sitting around your campfire watching the deer scamper in the mountains. RV camping is a must for me and full hookups are available."
"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."
GuideThis place is very cute for established camping. It has lots of trees and a nice little walking trail. They are pet friendly. They have men's and women's restrooms with showers. They also have a pool for the warmer months. There are 2 small dog parks one for large and one for small dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
We stayed in a back in spot which was very spacious and we had a good distance from our neighbor.
They have designated tent camping area. If you are tent camping they do not allow you to have pets.
Only downside is you are directly next to the Provo airport which did get active around 6 am.
TravelerI 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.
RangerThis campground provides easy access to one of the best hikes. Mt Timpanogous provides some stellar views of the backcountry and the valley below. On the way, stop and checkout Scout Falls. Early in the summer the falls comes pretty heavy because of the runoff. Pets are allowed but only on leash.
The campground is well maintained but gets a lot of traffic in and out because of the hikers driving to the parking lot. OHV riders will love the scenery and trails it provides just above the campground spot.
LegendVernon Res. is a quaint little lake with a handful of campsites on its western shore. Most of the campgrounds are very open with little to no shade cover at all. The wind picks up a bit too, and will blow you away. There is one campground, however, tucked back in the trees on the southern shore of the lake, that’s awesome! It’s completely shaded by older trees, nestled up next to a cliff side. The site is picture perfect but it’s the only one, and first come first serve.
The lake is good fishing. My son caught his first fish at this lake. Fun times!
RangerBeautiful surroundings but one side is out towards to busy road. There are quite a few of food, gas, and shopping options in the area. A lot of local residents live at the RV park as well as some just spending a few nights. The staff is known to be very nice. A lot of people, however, say that residents don’t clean up after their pets and there can be a lot of trash. Cell service is fine in the area - at least for AT&T.
Address is 715 N Main St, Tooele, UT 84074, United States
GuideFREE! No amenities! Must carry in all water. Shooting Range nearby. Great for ATVs and off road vehicles. Hiking is easy to moderate in abilty. Fire ring established in most common camp areas. Animals allowed. Close to Utah Lake.
TravelerStayed here at the end of the camp season. It’s a nice campground, but the spots are a little confusing. First, their normal campsites are really small. We’d actually accidentally set up residence in a double spot without knowing it. So that was unexpected, given the spots are kind of pricey already (normally it’s $23/night, but the doubles were $46/night). And although we only had 6 people (limit for a single site is 8), we also had to pay an additional $8 for the extra car. Besides that, it’s nice that they allow pets.
GuideIt's not great. Next to a shooting range and orv trails, so you'll hear that. Shrubs and a few small trees dominate the landscape, so there isn't much privacy. Roads were bumpy, but manageable. Access depends on where you go, Several paths to take w other sites. Lots of trash. Rock fire pits. Amazing views of the mountains behind Provo and Utah Lake. Full cell service w At&t. Free!
GuideThis is a beautiful lakeside camp site ruined by people who dump their trash on the side of camp and throw glass bottles everywhere. It might not be bad if you're secluded inside a plush RV, but it's definitely not a place you walk around with kids.
There are plenty of camp sites here so it's best to have an off-road capable vehicle that will take you away from most of the mess. The trails look like hard and rocky, but it's soft dirt so be careful of getting stuck in places with deep muddy ruts.
On a Tuesday night in October, it was nice and quiet. No bugs or high winds, although I'd recommend checking the weather forecast beforehand. There's nothing to protect you from the wind here.
