Mounthaven

The Best Camping Near Mounthaven, Utah

We had a great time. Clean campground. Very peaceful. Water and bathrooms available. Good shade too.

Beautiful and quiet

This is a great campground for large groups. Located just below the Spruces campground, this one is ideal for groups like our church group when we hosted a daddy/daughter campout. This campground is also right at the trailhead for Donut falls, a really easy hike for all ages with a really nice waterfall at the end.

Great Group Sites

Wildlife 10 minutes away from the city. What could be better? We just slept in the car right outside the campground and went exploring on some hikes above the campground. We found another abandoned mine and just had a blast exploring the Wasatch mountains. I highly recommend this campground and plan on coming back for night getaways.

This was a great site for big groups.  A lot to do, and beautiful as well.  No shortage of trees and wildlife!  Would definitely stay here again!  I also love how close it is to the Donut Falls trail!

A lot of shade

It is posted beyond The donut falls trailhead as private property, but it's hard to see where that private property might be. A landowner explained that it's all private beyond donut falls. We were cited for trespassing by a group that owns the silver mines further up the canyon and had to pay a hefty fine. Heed my warning and do not hike passed Donut Falls.
