Noisy.

Super noisy both nights I stayed, literally people were kicked out both days for noise issues. Road noise from the walk in site I was at. Super pretty and close to the city. But not worth it if you like sleeping. No showers limited access to water

Established campground, gorgeous lake

Tucked away from SLC, it's a perfect little oasis. It is next to a moderately busy road that connects mountain towns, it's much quieter than anything you'll find in SLC and the drive is absolutely stunning. Bathrooms are everywhere, beach access is idyllic.

Nice beach for Day Use

The lake is beautiful, and the campground is clean.
Always crowded, hard to get a spot unless you reserve months in advance.
Not a lot of trees, more of a meadow.
So not a lot of privacy between other campers.
Lake has a great ‘day use’ beach for the family as well.

A bit noisy

Did a big group site with a few other families. Great site right on the lake. Still, the noise from other campers was a bit obtrusive. Still had a blast but would generally avoid for some of the quieter spots.

Beautiful views and soft sand

There was a lot of space to be spread out from others. The beach is so large and it’s easy to camp out. The sand is soft and fun for the kids to build sand castles. We also enjoyed the small waves while on the beach.

Beautiful camping. Very unfortunate that it’s next to a main street. Heard cars drive by non stop. Friendly staff. Easy reservation. Not the best but not the worst.

Good campground

A good campground, but for a price. I prefer BLM camping even though there are less luxuries and amenities. Dogs are allowed on leash at the campground only, not on the beach. There are operators riding around on golf carts frequently throughout the day. The market provides foods and necessities including wood but it’s all pretty over priced. Overall we had a good time, the place is nice. Camp areas are all pretty close together, not very private.

Great Options next to the Reservoir

This is a huge campground that sits on the south side of Pineview Reservoir that has a multitude of options for camping and day trips as well as a marina.  The first Forest Service Campground you'll encounter heading up Ogden Canyon and the only major campground on the south side of Pineview.  There are 58 single sites for 28$ as well as additional tent sites that are cheaper for 21$.  There are also 9 double sites and 4 group sites along with parking for boat trailers and day use for picnic and beach access.  Every site has a metal fire ring and a varying amount of picnic tables.  There is a small convenience store kin the reservation hut as well as vault toilets and drinking water spigots spread throughout the campground.

For fun things to do in the area look no further than Pineview Reservoir just to the north!  From chilling on the beach to fishing from shore or swimming.  There are many options for easy, cheap recreation direct from camp.  There is also a boat launch ramp right in the campground that makes it easy to spend the day motor boating around the reservoir.  Just down canyon there is also a decent amount of decent climbing on some good to high quality quartzite rock.

A very clean and very convenient campground. Tons of trails nearby and being on the reservoir is great for hot days. Fishing was a blast! Will definitely be back.

Awesome waterfront campground

This was a really nice place for only being 40 mins from the city. Good beach front not a far walk from our campsite. Lots of trees to hang your hammocks up on. If you have some water toys it’s awesome because you can anchor them on the shore or the dock.

Nice Campground

You need to reserve sites here well in advance as it fills up for the entire Summer as soon as the reservation window opens. It is very clean and well maintained! We loved that we could bring the jet skis right over to the beach at the campground and also that they have a dog beach. We had a fantastic view from our site.
