Best Campgrounds near Wallsburg, UT

1,352 Reviews

Camping in the Wallsburg, Utah area ranges from established campgrounds to dispersed backcountry sites across Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Lodgepole Campground provides developed tent and RV camping from May to September along Forest Road 113, while Willow Spring offers free dispersed camping with primitive conditions. Several campgrounds around nearby Deer Creek Reservoir accommodate both tent campers and RVs, with some featuring cabin rentals. The terrain varies from densely forested mountain settings to reservoir shorelines, providing diverse camping environments within a short distance of Heber City.

Road conditions and accessibility vary significantly throughout the region, with many dispersed areas requiring high-clearance vehicles. "Only went about two miles up the road once I pulled off the main road. Started to get too rocky for my taste so I pulled off into a nice camp spur," noted one visitor to Willow Spring. Most established campgrounds like Lodgepole remain open seasonally from mid-May through early September, while higher elevation areas often close during winter months. The typical camping season runs from late spring through early fall, with summer temperatures generally pleasant but nights remaining cool due to the elevation. Several areas implement 14-day stay limits for dispersed camping, and developed campgrounds typically require reservations during peak season.

Campers consistently mention scenic mountain views and lake access as significant draws to the area. Those seeking solitude can find peaceful sites in more remote areas, though a review of Willow Spring cautions: "It can get pretty crowded and noisy at times but worth not having to pay for." Mountain Valley RV Resort and several state park campgrounds at Deer Creek provide more amenities including hookups, showers, and flush toilets for those preferring developed facilities. ATV and OHV traffic is common on many forest roads, particularly around Willow Spring, creating a lively atmosphere for motorized recreation enthusiasts but potentially disrupting those seeking quiet. Wildlife sightings, including bears, have been reported in the area, so proper food storage is essential. The combination of forest and reservoir access makes this area popular for both water recreation and mountain activities.

    Miner's Canyon Dispersed

    Beautiful Area, But

    Close to civilization but far enough to get a healthy dose of quiet darkness. The campsites are drive-in and a decent size, far apart from each other, but keep your eyes peeled for deep potholes and broken glass. The few times we’ve stayed here we’ve enjoyed ourselves, but this seems to be a very popular spot; on several occasions we’ve made the 1+ hour drive out here, only to find every single spot taken. It appears that the same campers are out here frequently, and for long periods of time. Would be nice if people would limit their own stays for the consideration of others to enjoy this area as well, instead of treating it like their own personal property.

    Soapstone Basin Dispersed Camping

    Soapstone Basin, Uinta Mountains – A Wild, Beautiful Reminder of Respect for the Land

    We escaped the chaos of a music festival and ran straight into the mountains—landing at Soapstone Basin for one unforgettable night. We didn’t realize a storm was closing in until the clouds surrounded us. You can reach the area without four-wheel drive if roads are dry, but if weather’s coming, trust me—bring it.

    The views are unreal, and the quiet is almost otherworldly. This is hunting land, so you’ll occasionally hear distant gunfire, but safety rules are well respected. We had a storm roll through—trees cracked all night, rain turned to snow, and we woke up under 3–4 inches of it. Freezing, beautiful, and absolutely still.

    There is absolutely no service out here, so plan ahead—know the weather, download maps, and bring a way to communicate in an emergency. We were likely the only tent campers in sight—everyone else had trailers or ATVs—but with experience and good gear, tent camping here is magic. A tree-clearing crew passed through the next morning, another reminder of how well this land is cared for.

    Places like Soapstone are a privilege. They feel sacred, untouched, and peaceful. If you come, honor it—keep it clean, quiet, and respectful. That’s exactly how we found it, and that’s exactly how it should stay.

    Springville / Provo KOA Holiday

    KOA

    Well it's your topical RV resort. It doesn't have a fire ring and it's by train tracks and a freeway. Also, your packed in like sardines. However, it will do for overnight. I have to say it is clean and kept up well. But if you're into private camping with space, this isn't for you.

    Fox Den Campground — Deer Creek State Park

    Beautiful uncrowded campground

    We stopped here after leaving Salt Lake City. It is mid October so the campground is mostly empty. We were able to get our pick of sites. Beautiful views of water and the mountains. Super nice bathrooms that look brand new. Not much hiking right here but close enough to the Alpine Loop to Sundance with hiking along the way. Not far from a bike path along the Provo River. Only a few minutes into Midway with many restaurants to choose from.

    Salt Lake City KOA

    Urban campground convenient to SLC

    We wanted to explore Salt Lake City so decided to stay at this downtown KOA. It is a large and crowded RV park but right on a Transit line (UTA light rail Trax) and biking distance to downtown. The facilities are older but clean. Standard Holiday amenities like pool, dog park, dog wash, basketball court. We’d stay again if I wanted to be close to downtown.

    Little Mill

    Our favorite place

    Our family adores this location. Great staff, clean toilets, stunning camping areas near the river, some directly on it! Spot 10 was great for our 33ft rig. We will be back Little Mill! Love you

    Springville / Provo KOA Holiday

    Clean and friendly staff.

    Spots are a little tight. Noise level is a 5. Near the hwy but not next to. It’s a good place to stay and the monthly rates are fair.

    Hailstone - Lower Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Great state park campground

    Convenient location to Park City. Large spacious sites. Nice clean bathrooms. You can hear road noise from highway 40. We got a site without reservation with no problem. Some sites are more level than others. We are enjoying looking at the reservoir from the back of our site. Some construction noise across highway 40 but not too much late on a weekday.

    Flight Park State Recreation Area

    Good price

    Instructions for the campsite are a bit confusing. Don’t pay for a site until you get here even if you book online. There are limited spots. People camping around are nice and say hello.

    We camped on a Friday night and it was full when we arrived around 6pm but we snagged the last spot available. Otherwise I would have camped down the road in a dirt patch anyway.
