Butterfly Lake Campground

Perfectly situated off of the Mirror Lake Highway, and perched near the tranquil waters of…read moreButterfly Lake, this campground is probably my favorite designated camping area along this great stretch of scenic road. Winning that distinction is no small feat, as there are so many spots to stay along Utah's most prominent scenic byway, but it's just got so much going for it. First, it's at about 10,300ft in elevation, which means that in the blazing heat of summer, you may just kiss the '70s, spend most of the day in the '60s, and have those incredible nights in the tent in the '40s where you thank your lucky stars that you have someone who will go up the Mirror Lake Highway with you and hike by day, and snuggle up in a sleeping-bag-for-two by night. I've not actually had that last experience, but it's on my list. At any rate, the elevation is just what you need in summer, and is not to be messed with in cooler temps. The Highway actually closes during winter, so this campground typically doesn't open until around Memorial Day each spring. The namesake lake is delightful, and planted with willing trout. There are no monster fish lurking in the deep, but the kids will get a kick out of drowning a worm beneath a bobber. I also like that the lake is far enough away from the campsites that you're not constantly worrying about little ones wandering off to play in the water. The further up the road in the campground, the more true this is. If you're looking to launch off for adventure, there are hikes on hikes on hikes. My favorite ever lackadaisical hike I've ever had was on the MLH, but you can find your own. The western terminus of the Highline Trail is just a few hundred feet away down the road, so check that out for a starting point, or grab one of the other many trailheads at your disposal-Ruth Lake, Mirror Lake, Fehr Lake-those are all bodies of waters and names of nearby trailheads. I typically stay in dispersed campsites, but having a few resources, restrooms, parking, and a picnic table is nice sometimes too. I dream of staying here in the height of summer, of making overly-complicated camp meals, of wandering the creeks, of homemade marshmallow s'mores, hand-churned ice cream, and that warm sleeping bag at night.

Aspen (not to be confused with Aspen Grove) Campground is a beautiful spot WAAAYYYYYY out in the…read moremiddle of nature! The campground consists of 31 regular sites (some doubles) and a group site, with no hook-ups. When I visited (Memorial Day weekend), there were hardly any people there, so it felt like we had the entire beautiful place to ourselves! Site 24 was beautiful, private, and had easy access to the river behind. There were multiple people fishing in the river and some kids with inner tubes, but the water felt really cold and seemed too shallow for any kind of swimming. But it would be great for kids wanting to splash around a bit in the summer! Since the campground is so far up in the mountains, the weather is cool when it's too hot for camping in the valley. Nighttime temps got to around 40 when we were there, which was fine for us in our camper trailer. The grounds were kept clean, and while we didn't see the camp host(s), we had no need for assistance during our trip. The drive to the campground from SLC was tough on our vehicle, which is an older SUV hauling a 17' vintage trailer. Even after getting up Parley's Canyon, there were additional significant stretches of incline and then about a mile on a dirt road before getting to the site. I do love being in the middle of nowhere, so this was fine, but I would take this into consideration the next time we are wanting to visit.

Ledgefork is an incredibly beautiful campground in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The…read morecampground is managed by the Utah Recreation Company/Go Camp Utah. It is located about 30 minutes Northeast of Kamas, with the last 5 miles on a dirt/rock road. Reservations are easily made on the Recreation government website. The campground is on the edge of the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir, with access to a number of hiking trails nearby. While the Reservoir itself is open to boats, many areas seemed shallow and mucky to me, and I did not see boats in the water. I did see plenty of people fishing, however, so it's likely a good spot for that. The section of the Reservoir near the campground is dried up, leaving behind an eerie looking landscape of jagged tree trunks and aquatic plants. It's not the most beautiful sight, but it is definitely very interesting. The campsites themselves are located across 2 loops. While the campground was completely full during my visit, Loop A definitely felt spacious and private, whereas Loop B felt crowded and like a huge fishing and country music party (although I didn't see the "tent only" sites). Which would probably be fun if that's your thing, but I prefer private, quiet, and wooded sites. So our site (32) in Loop A was perfect for me! The site itself was very large and had lots of beautiful trees, just as many of the sites in the loop were fairly heavily wooded. We saw a number of different types of birds in addition to squirrels and chipmunks among the pine and aspen trees. We also awoke to bear poop along the path to the dumpster, so keep in mind you might have some large guests lurking around at night! The campsites do not have water (a few spigots are located throughout each loop), electricity, or a dump station. As we were heading back to SLC, we stopped at Jordanelle to use theirs, but the line was VERY long and we had to pay $10. My husband and I visited Ledgefork on our first trip with our vintage trailer and had an amazing time that we will always remember! We will be back when the campgrounds open for the season next year.

The campsite was very nice. Although the reservations were not up to date when we arrived and it…read morecaused some confusion. The creek is nice to explore. I would recommend bringing a small boat to fish on the lake

My choice for accommodations was the rock Springs KOA Which was situated literally in the shadow of about 10 giant petroleum tanks or drive 25 minutes south into flaming gorge national recreation area. Well I chanced it and I'm glad I did. Spacious campsites with roomy covered picnic tables and inground fire pits. One of the two bathrooms was closed when I visited but that was not really much of an inconvenience. The showers were acceptable but certainly not super high end. Beautiful high desert area on the green river the views were incredible. So, these views, not another camper for 50 yards and the coyotes howling all night! I will definitely make a point to come back here.

Beautiful view of the Reservoir! They offer both reserved spaces and first-come spaces (to reserve,…read morego to Reacreation.gov or download the app). Restrooms are large and have one shower in each of the women's and men's restroom. Each campsite offers a fire pit, and covered area with a picnic table. There is a short walk down to the water from the campsite. We spotted mule deer. Of all the campsites we visited, this one was most notable for bugs...LOTS of flying bugs: both morning and night. We went in late June.
