3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several established RV parks near Vernon accommodate a variety of motorhome sizes and camping styles. Mountain Shadows RV Park in Draper provides full hookups with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections for big rigs. Rollin' Home RV Park offers both 30-amp and 50-amp electric hookups with water and sewer connections, receiving high marks for accommodating travelers with short notice. Jones High Country RV Camp in Nephi features water and electric hookups with sanitary dump facilities. Settlement Canyon/Legion Park Campground near Tooele has more primitive accommodations with toilets but no hookups, though the area provides suitable space for RVs. "Friendly staff and able to accommodate short notice stop. Spots were full but they let us park in the parking lot for the night and gave us full access to showers and laundry."
Most RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months. Between Salt Lake City and central Utah, these parks offer varying levels of amenities—some feature showers, laundry facilities, and trash service while others provide only basic necessities. Cell service varies by location, with better connectivity generally available at established RV parks closer to towns. Roads leading to some parks may present challenges, particularly for larger rigs. According to one visitor, "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." Pet policies differ among properties, with most allowing pets but enforcing leash requirements and designated pet areas.

LegendNice little campground with several pull through spots and several back ins Showers and bathrooms were clean and nice. Outside of the major town on Utah Lake so fairly quiet, although it is next to a smaller airport which has planes coming and going most of the time. At least they are all small planes so they don’t make too much noise. Nice playground.
ScoutThe rock formations are cool and fun to explore, but unfortunately the flies completely ruined this spot for us. I’ve camped in plenty of places with bugs, but I’ve never experienced flies this bad. If you stood still for more than a few seconds, you would literally be swarmed by them. There are cattle and bison in the surrounding area, so I’m guessing that contributes to the fly problem. Whatever the cause, they were relentless. It was so bad that after about 20 minutes, we gave up, packed everything back up, and left. Based on our experience, I would never camp here again.
Traveler10/1/26 no one is here? What great park. Washrooms are clean nice trails, layed back spot. Most all sites are level with great tent platform.
GuideI started at site 24 which was extremely shaded and had a cute little beach area along the creek. Then I stayed in site 10 which was more secluded from other sites but parking is just parallel to the main campground road. Site 10 was also a lot sunnier and had a more open view of the rock cliffs. After that I moved to site 7 for 2 nights and I did like the walk down stairs to my table and fire area, it made it feel more secluded from the other sites. I also liked the creek access. I stayed my last night in 24 which was a good balance of shade and openness. Also the cell service was a lot better at 22 and 24 as opposed to site 10 and 7.
ScoutVery clean and well kept property. Every space has a well groomed lawn with a ton of space between the sites. There is a nice trail that goes up the hill that is perfect for walking the dogs and gettin a panoramic view of the valley.
I highly recommend this park.
ScoutStopped here for a couple of nights heading to Montana and was happy with the stay. The only complaint was the sites are close together, besides that it's quiet and peaceful with a bunch of shaded trees. The airport next door is kind of active, but nothing to bitch about. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pretty Cool Campground.
TravelerWe decided to try this out and turned out to be pretty awesome, no service to help kids connect with nature and get away from the mundane. Never had any problems with animals saw a bunch of cows, lots of squirrels but not much else. Was really safe
TravelerEasy to get to. 4x4 trails available.
ScoutThis campground has trees of fur trees, spruce trees, mountain ash, Hemlock, and some scrub Oak. It’s a beautiful campground, well shaded, and some wildlife mostly deer and some moose.
Tooele County offers several RV sites near Vernon, Utah, with elevations ranging from 4,400 to 5,500 feet. Most campgrounds in this high desert region have limited shade and receive minimal rainfall, with summer temperatures often exceeding 90°F during daytime hours. Winter camping requires preparation for freezing temperatures, especially at higher elevations.
Fishing opportunities: Settlement Canyon Reservoir provides accessible fishing within a short drive of Vernon. "We woke up to see cows in the morning which the kids loved. Had some great areas for hiking and is really close to the reservoir for some awesome fishing," notes a visitor to Settlement Canyon/Legion Park Campground.
Creek exploration: Clover Springs offers a small waterway perfect for wading during warmer months. "Pretty spot that smells like juniper and has a nice creek. Sites are nicely spaced, especially the equestrian sites at the top of the campground," reports a camper at Clover Springs Campground.
Mountain biking access: The foothills surrounding Vernon provide moderate terrain for mountain biking, with trails accessible from several camping areas. "Decent sized spot. Enclosed by desert mountains. The water is more like a babbling brook than a stream. Great for kids and dogs to play in," according to a Clover Springs visitor.
Mountain views: The Oquirrh Mountains create a scenic backdrop for many camping areas. A visitor to Lakeside RV Campground shared: "We enjoyed a one night stay. Pull through sites with grass between. Pool was very nice. Cute little store."
Wildlife watching: Early mornings and evenings often bring deer and other wildlife near camping areas. "We woke up to see cows in the morning which the kids loved," notes a Settlement Canyon visitor, while another camper reported: "You'll love sitting around your campfire watching the deer scamper in the mountains."
Quiet weeknight stays: Many visitors note the peaceful atmosphere midweek when campgrounds have fewer occupants. "We stayed here in June of 2021, the very first night camping in our travel trailer. Easy access, good WiFi and nice shaded sites," according to a Lakeside RV guest.
Cell service variability: Reception differs significantly between campgrounds and even within the same location. "Full bars on Verizon. Small pit toilets. Clean and well kept overall," reports a Clover Springs visitor, while a Settlement Canyon camper notes: "There is no cell service at all unless you're up near the gate."
Limited facilities: Many camping areas near Vernon have minimal amenities. A visitor to Jones High Country RV Park advises: "Nothing fancy. We pulled in after a long drive and found a cheap place to spend the night. This place is older and not very fancy. The staff was nice and helpful. They have clean hot showers and full hook ups for our RV."
Water challenges: Some campgrounds face water supply issues. "Make sure to follow the instructions to get to the RV park or else you'll end up driving your rig through a tiny parking lot to turn around. The golf course and mountain range is very nice. However, the spots are not level, and the water pressure is high. Make sure you have a water regulator."
Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer pool access during summer months. "This 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," explains a visitor to Springville / Provo KOA Holiday.
Multi-day activities: Plan for varied weather conditions with indoor and outdoor options. "Facilities were clean. There were a lot 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," notes a Mountain Shadows RV Park visitor.
Pet accommodations: Most campgrounds allow pets but have specific areas or restrictions. "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," reports a Lakeside RV camper.
Overnight stop selection: Many RVers recommend specific parks for single-night stays. A visitor to Rollin' Home RV Park shared: "We loved this spot! We only stayed one night, driving through on our way to Yellowstone. It had nice large sites, very clean. This is a new campground so the bathrooms weren't done yet, but the hook ups and sites are level and have clean picnic tables and green grass at every site."
Leveling requirements: Several campgrounds require additional equipment for proper setup. "The arrival experience was pleasant with check in. Nice ladies. Wide and long pull throughs were asphalt, more than enough room. Trash dumpsters were few, one stacked to the top. Nice views overall. A nice stop for us," notes a Rollin' Home RV Park guest.
Water pressure considerations: Multiple reviewers mention high water pressure requiring regulators. "Long wide Pullthrough, with grass dividers. 2 service centers to pick from make setting up easy. Beautiful views if you pick your spot wisely. Water pressure high, use regulator," advises an RVer who stayed at Rollin' Home RV Park.
