The Best Camping Near Midway, Utah

Great campground in the Wasatch mountains. The views driving up to and down from the campground are impressive. The drive though can be a little rough...I was in a 2014 Explorer and it took us roughly a half hour to drive the 5 miles up to camp. If you have a 4X4, it should be no issue.

Great camp - rough drive up

This is an amazing campground with beautiful views! The road there is awful, though! We made it through totally fine with our four wheel drive, but if you want to go in and out of the campground while you’re staying there, get an ATV! Close to Cascade Springs, which is beautiful and we an awesome moose sighting!

Beautiful campground! Need an ATV.

We LOVE going here! Our kids love fishing in the pond, exploring the exhibits in the museum and playing on the playground. We also enjoy the hikes that are easily accessible from the parking lot. We like picnicking here and feeding the ducks!

Fun for the family

My family and I just love this campground!! We come at least twice a year.  Everything is really well kept! Clean bathrooms, has warm showers, power at your picnic tables and water at each site. Close to fishing pond, play area for kids, beautiful golf courses, hikes, Midway/Heber cities, fishing rivers and beautiful drives up the mountains for more exploring.  

Close by - but still feels far away!

Loud neighbors kept us up till 3am and when we complained that offered to move us for $40. Eventually was able to get the camphost to y’all to the folks next to us. Otherwise beautiful and super convenient. Would return again 

Great for a quick getaway

This campground has 3 loops. 1 for tents, 1 for medium size trailers. 1 for large trailers. Check the website or call the guard station before booking to double check. 
It's close to 2 reservoirs, tons of dirt bike and side by side trails, and Heber city. There's also a few group sites with pavilions. 
We've stayed here multiple times in tent, RV, and group sites. Medium shade, but the bathrooms and showers are nice.

Great place for a lot of activities 

This is typical camping from the past. Very few sites built to accommodate larger rigs. Narrow loop roads with mature trees at that time not well-trimmed. My 30' TT was perched with some effort on top of a pull-through that was a mound rather than flat. Unlevel and narrow asphalt sites.  Some sites are reservable with full hook-ups. Stayed without a reservation in the FCFS loop called Mohogany. Pine Creek is next to a golf course just on the outskirts of Midway, Utah near Deer Valley Ski Area. Lots to do in Midway and surrounding parts. No fishing close to the campground but lots of fishing and boating nearby e.g. Joranelle Reservoir/State Park. It's very pretty with wildlife enjoying life. Planned to stay longer than two nights but got chased out due to a wildfire nearby sending smoke our way.

Rustic woodlands on east side of Wasatch Range

I will preface this by saying I was up here over July 24th weekend. Maybe another weekend would be better.

Campsites are nice and clean, bathrooms as well on my visit. You will be camping 20' from the road in all the spots more or less. The spots don't offer really any type of privacy either.

Like previously mentioned the road up is very rocky and bumpy. Definitely need a truck/SUV to get up. Trucks do pull trailers up there for their four wheelers/side by sides.

  

This weekend was absolute hell of hearing those things ripping up and down the road. Starting at around 8-9am, going till 1-2pm(for lunch I'm assuming) then going right back to it. There are also tons of parents giving their kids rids around in a circle. 

  

All in all, its a nice spot...Its not real camping like I'd prefer to do but it works. Maybe a different weekend will be better, with far less noise.

Mediocre

Currently scouting out camp sights for a trip and road my adventure enduro out to this site. Was a really rough ride and wont take my bike out there again. Would be a great drive though if you have a 4x4. Check out my attached video.

Rough road and open fields

Lovely Wasatch valley!  The campsites are well equipped, and space from each other.  It’s beautiful.  I gave 4 stars because you cannot do a fire at this time.  

Lovely Wasatch

Colorful trees - wild turkeys - deer - great hiking. 

Beautiful park on golf course edge  

This was our first Campground with a camper. Cell service was zero. R we had a back in site. There were a variety of sifted both back in and pull through of various sizes. Bathrooms and showers were be dry clean and well maintained. A few campers had issues with electrical service but we did not. 

Clean beautiful campground 

Rangers were great getting us a last minute spot on our road trip. 

Sites are clean and nice with showers and restrooms. 

Pleasant little sites

Lots of aspen trees, nice bathrooms some with soap, some vaulted. Lots of room.

Nice campground. 

Very clean place with restrooms and showers. The space was huge.

Wasatch Mountain State Park

This is a big campground but the sites are pretty private….separated by giant bushes. Not one of my favorites, but the proximity to Park City is key. Facilities are clean.
