Smithfield Campground — Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Accessed via a dirt road through Cache National Forest, Smithfield Campground sits near a small river and close to the trailhead for the Mt. Naomi Wilderness area. The campground runs $24 to $74 per night, operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and has five or six sites spaced far enough apart that the place rarely feels crowded. Sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and access to water hookups, and pets are welcome.

The river running through the area is a consistent draw. Anglers have access to fishing directly from the campground, and the sound of moving water carries through the sites. Cell service is limited, with Verizon coverage described as nearly nonexistent by multiple visitors. Those who need connectivity should plan accordingly. Adam D. calls the restrooms "the cleanest campsite restrooms I've ever seen," a detail worth noting for campers who factor facility quality into their decisions.

The dirt road access warrants attention, particularly after rain. One reviewer noted the campsite sits in a forested area reached by an unpaved route, and the surrounding terrain can make conditions rougher in wet weather. Nearby alternatives include Indian Canyon Dispersed — Cache NF (FR 049) and Smithfield Dispersed Campsite for those who prefer a more open, dispersed setup. Campers planning a visit during peak summer weekends should arrive early, as the limited number of sites fills quickly.

Guests frequently mentioned the clean, well-spaced sites in a secluded forested setting near a creek. Many visitors appreciated the exceptionally clean restrooms and peaceful atmosphere, though no cell service and limited amenities.

Beautiful, quiet, clean

This little spot has five or six campsites that are spaced nicely and are all very clean.. First come first served, so you will see people driving in and out when they see everything reserved. Cleanest campsite restrooms I've ever seen. The small size means less chance of rowdy crowds. And the river adds alot of ambient noise that's awesome. Verizon cell service was almost nonexistent, but I didn't mind.

Smithfield Canyon

It is a favorite spot for us and our family. We often turn left on to the dirt road and pick a spot there. But you stay straight and it takes you in to a very nice campground with tables and toilets. Always an excellent place!!

Next to water, but no extra amenities

We stayed here for one night. At the time, we were caught in a rainstorm, but the campsite was nestled in a forested area accessed by a dirt road. This campground is easy to find, near the trailhead for hiking into the Mt. Naomi Wilderness area, and a good base camp for day hikes and other adventures. There was a small river to collect water from if you have a filter, a fire ring for campfires, but no tables, drinking water, or RV hookups.
