Stop looking for campsites and book this campground if there is a spot. But do us a favor and don't book because we want your spot. This campsite has more to offer then any other sites in Utah. Running Water. Flushing Toilets (some vaulted), Huge trees, a river, large mountain rocks, large spaces, many sites are not close to other sites, huge group sites that can pack tons and tons of people. Parking in most sites is decent. Lots of animals and a few moose that live in the area and often seen.
No electrical hook ups or dumps
Due to weather this location is colder and has a shorter season. Sometimes this campground has a postponed opening date and may close early.
Possibly the best campsite in the Rocky Mountains if you are looking for a flushing toilet / and beautiful manicured site.
Best campground within 35 minutes of downtown SLC. High elevation, pretty pine trees, streams, and wildlife. Short walk to Solitude Ski Area mountain village. Great way to escape the summer heat without having to spend all day driving. Usually lots of moose and deer, situational awareness recommended. We even found this Tiger Salamander.
Such a nice quiet place to camp. The bathrooms were pretty far but other then that it was great
Beautiful, spacious campgrounds. Super close to donut falls and silver lake. Our campsite was picturesque. Gorgeous stream flowing directly on the path behind our tent. We saw deer, ground rodents and chipmunks taking bites of mushrooms. Great tent camping. The bathrooms are a bit of a jaunt, but very well kept main bathrooms. Definitely going back.
One of the most beautiful campgrounds I’ve been in. I was in site number 2 and I loved how there was no other site in one of the sides and the camp host and closest site were far enough to have good privacy. The campsite is very well maintained and clean. Even the restrooms were spotless. Tons of chipmunks and squirrels, saw also deers, mushrooms and wildflowers. Good site to solo camp. l would recommend to walk the campground loop closest to the mountain. Nice views of the forest, little creeks, and cool boulders.
