Did not like references to keeping things locked up due to vandals. Uncomfortable feeling.

Pricey

The wifey did not like the location!

Solid KOA campground with all the amenities you would expect including a pool and spa. Location of the campground is near the downtown area, with that you get all the noise of the city; traffic, sirens, and train horns. However it was the questionable downtown crowd the wifey didn’t like and didn’t feel as safe in this campground as she did others. And just a side note she was born and raised in Fresno which is basically the armpit of California lol, jk…………so when she says an area is “sketchy” I believe her.

Great Well-managed Campground for Urban and Travel Camping

I always place reviews like this in context.  This is not a wilderness or solitude seeking campground, it's in the middle of a 1 million plus population metro area!  However, it is shaded, very clean and organized and surprisingly quiet for the location.  Online reservations and expedited check-in are excellent. 

Healthy grass and shade trees, and level, paved pads and drives.  Clean functional restrooms, and all the amenities to make camping here easy.  Great for kids and pets (appropriate, fun facilities).  This is one of the higher-quality KOAs we've used on long road trips with a small camper/RV.

If you are traveling in an RV and wish to stay parked, there is public transit to city-center and amenities a couple blocks away.  I assume it's within most private ride-share service areas as well.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad you had a positive experience and appreciated our clean, shaded grounds and convenient amenities. We agree that our location is perfect for those looking to explore the city while still enjoying a peaceful camping environment. It’s great to hear that the online reservations and check-in process worked well for you. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back on your next road trip!

Great location, WiFi suspect

Great location when visiting Salt Lake City. Very large campground but well maintained. WiFi keeps on throwing us out or is slow.

Only 45 minutes to Park City which is a must when you are in the area. Take a slower route via Solitude back, just beautiful.

Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed our location and found the campground well-maintained. We apologize for the issues with the WiFi and will work on improving that. It's great to hear you had a chance to visit Park City—it’s definitely a must-see! We hope you’ll return and look forward to welcoming you back.

The Zoo

*No one has been their best during the shutdown of 2020*

We chose this location because it was right downtown and close to the zoo.  Having a full group of 3 kids (5 & under) 3 dogs, 3 adults, and a cat we need some things that others don't "need."  We also run our company from the road so we need space, a place to play, and great WIFI.  These are the basis of our reviews.

This KOA was run down, dirty and nothing was open due to the shutdown.  The wifi wasn't very good.  We won't stay here again because it doesn't meet our needs.  It is a great place to stop for a night, get up, and go.  Other than that....nah!

Things we loved:

  • The staff was incredible, fun and friendly.
  • 20 minutes from the zoo.
  • Dog wash and park
  • Mexican restaurant 

Not so much:

  • Dirty, unkept 
  • Wifi was horrible
  • No public bathrooms (pandemic)
  • EXTREMELY HIGH water pressure

Close to downtown

This campground is surrounded by inner city-like activity. The common areas were filthy and staff didn’t seem concerned. We were there for a Month, so I got a good representative time period. It’s close to the train to downtown which was good. The hot tub was old and very small and shallow...and not very hot.

Very Nice Campground

This is a lovely large Kampground (yes, I used a K), that is close to the airport. We expected the airport noise, but not the trains.

Our space was wide and long to accommodate our pickup truck/25' TT and the hosts were super sweet.

They allowed for late arrival, and when they opened, they were very accommodating for our questions.

Great Location ... but loud

I had the wonderful opportunity to stay the night at Salt Lake City KOA! I was trying to find a location that wasn't too far away from central Salt Lake City but wasn't right down town, that's when I came across the Salk Lake City KOA! After a long drive there is nothing better than a relaxing shower. The showers have a combination lock to prevent non campers from being able to use the showers. There is a wonderful dog run made more for littler dogs, but its still a great addition. KOA has a convince store available at the entrance with a very kind staff! There is a wonderful pool and hot tub! If you're late or arrive after hours don't worry about it. For your convince there is an after hours pick up box at the back of the building by the pool. If you made reservations you can pick up your information packet or pay for a space all at the after hours box! If you need help they do have staff on hand 24 hours. I loved the way this camp site is laid out, the tents are in one section and the campers have their own area. It is pretty common to see hammocks around this KOA, they have the best trees for it! The only complaint I had was the noise, but if you bring ear plugs that isn't an issue! This KOA has the cutest cabins of all sizes!

I loved staying here and will for sure stay there again! My camp site is in these photos my friend was just really good at taking down camp before I could take a photo. I forgot to mention there is full hookups for trailers and free WIFI. You can also find lots of good places to eat around this KOA!

in town

we were surprised when we arrived and it was in town. I never had to use a code that changes for a bathroom before. In the middle of the night that was not easy, walked the whole way down and forgot the code had to walk back to get it! No fence to keep people out of campground and it’s in town. It is a clean facility.

Thrilled Beyond Belief!!!

We arrived after check-in and found an envelope with our information clearly stated. We used the on-site restrooms and found them spic and span; sparkling clean with electricity, hot water, and secured access. The cabin was delightful; warm, cozy, and clean with heat, beds, and a desk. Not to mention, there was a mini-fridge and a t.v.!! The price was absolutely perfect; extremely reasonable and affordable. I will definitely camp here again!!

A truly urban little campsite, but if you like #glamping, this is the place for you. It's definitely not the wilderness, but if you need a cheap place to stay, there's working bathrooms and service and even a pump to clean out your RV toilet!!

Weird location and not really for tents at all...

Might be good if you're in an RV but there is constant train and road noise all night long. They should move the tents off the fence line and away from the road...

You are in a weird location right off the public transport and really close to the airport while next to a fairground (thankfully nothing was going on, but heard it can be overwhelming) and off a busy road which is almost downtown...but it does make it very convenient. (although the neighborhood could use a bit of a facelift)

Staff was very nice, but they don't have as many "amenities" as other KOAs, but you make up for them with the location.
