Beautiful campground. It's in Big Cottonwood Canyon, so I wouldn't expect anything less. Camp…read morehosts were nice and helpful the few times we interacted with them. I specifically stayed at the Pine Grove Camp Site. It has a lot of large mature trees, 4 bathroom facilities, plenty of camping areas, and an extremely large fire pit/picnic area. It's in walking distance to both Doughnut Falls and Dog Lake, plus it's a short drive to Solitude, Brighton, and many other beautiful trails. We arrived here on Friday and stayed two nights with a large group. The event brought out a lot of people for the daytime, but most people opted to not stay the night. This meant we had more than enough room to camp and have our own space. We picked a spot a little ways up the trail which made us a little too far from the bathrooms, but we weren't disturbed by anybody who woke up early or stayed up too late. Big Cottonwood gets extremely busy and this campground offers a few other group campsites. However, this campground was secluded enough that you were never bothered by the hustle and bustle of others and you were really able to feel like you were in the great outdoors. The campsite says that it can hold 100-125 people. The large picnic/fire pit area can definitely hold this many, but I feel like that many people camping could get pretty cramped. Our group was mostly couples so that would be close to 50-60 tents. I could see it working with families where you'd only need 20-30 tents. We definitely enjoyed the site though and would happily come back.

We camped here for 4th of July. It was so much fun! I accidentally booked our campsite for the…read morelower B loop which was super sunny so I would definitely recommend trying to reserve a site in the A loop or the upper B loop. The lower B loop tends to be mostly RVs which makes sense. Even though our site was super sunny, we had a nice gazebo so it's not a total loss if that's all you can get. One thing I must talk about is how great our camp host was. She was great about enforcing the speed limit and cleaning the bathrooms. I think the bathrooms at this campground were the cleanest bathrooms I've ever used while camping. We bought firewood from her but it was cash only! So definitely remember cash if you plan on having a fire! Because this campground is at a lower elevation than some of the other Utah campgrounds, it can get pretty hot in July. Maybe that's why there were so many spots open even though I waited till the last minute to book.

The camp hosts I've encountered over the years have always been friendly. The campsite that I love is seriously the best one! It's so spacious, feels secluded, and is just perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. It's honestly my favorite campsite I've ever stayed at. Unfortunately, other people seem to know how great it is too, which makes it really hard to reserve. So I'll be gatekeeping the site number... sorry! We always have such a great time here and can't wait to come back.

What a stunning campground! So many beautiful sites, and so close to SLC! It made for a great…read morestaycation for my husband and I. We had site 64, which was at the very end of the campground in a small loop with bathrooms in the middle. There were 3 sites in the area, and our site was extremely private due to the trees and because you have to go down a set of stairs to reach the table and fire pit. We parked our trailer at the top, which ended up being great, but I'm not sure if the site has a tent pad or not. Our site was tucked among the trees and had hiking trails leading in multiple directions behind it. It was clean, but the bathroom was full of those gross sewer flies (which maybe can't be helped?). The sound of the flowing river was extremely soothing and even drowned out the sounds from our [super drunk] neighbors. I'd highly recommend checking out the pictures of each site on the recreation.gov website. There are many beautiful and private sites, but many that weren't as private or level (if that matters to you). I'd also recommend booking as soon as the reservation window opens, which I think is in January, for the best sites and dates. The campground is almost always completely full as you get closer to the summer months. This is my new favorite spot for sure, can't wait to return next year!

We camped at Smith and Morehouse from June 12-14, 2026, and overnight our two paddleboards were…read morestolen from the lake. Yes, we left them at the shoreline around 9pm while staying in the campground, and we understand that wasn't the smartest decision. We returned at 6am and they were gone. Still, after years of camping in Utah, we never expected someone to steal. We had two blue-and-white Hydro-Force paddleboards, two paddles, and a dog life jacket attached. The life jacket had been unhooked and carefully placed back where we left it, making it obvious that someone intentionally took the boards. What is most disappointing is that this happened in a place we've loved visiting for years. It's hard to enjoy the beauty of an area when you have to worry about other people stealing your belongings. It's ridiculous that this has become something campers need to think about. What has happened to Utah? If anyone saw anything that weekend, please let me know.

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.

Current Creek campground is a large place with 4 loops. My favorite is D loop because it's closest to the lake. Bathrooms have flush toilets but no showers. Each camp site has a picnic table, grill, fire pit and concrete pad. The camp host station sells ice, firewood and some bare essentials. The star of the show is the lake. Usually you'll find me sitting on the shore waiting for a fish to bite. I've caught rainbows and tiger trout. But even if you don't catch anything the views are spectacular. If you should get lucky and decide to keep your catch there is a fish cleaning station by the boat ramp. Directions, there are 3 ways to get there all involve a bit of graded dirt road. You can take hwy 40 to the Current Creek Road and drive up next to the river, then around the lake. Next option is to turn off hwy 40 at the chicken creek area and take FS road #82. The turn is just before the UDOT facility. Lastly you can take center street from Heber past the Timber Lakes community. There is no cell phone service at the lake or campground. :)

It's mostly shaded and almost every campground is by a river, which drowns out most of the noise from the street nearby. You can easily float the river here, play around with water guns, or hang at your campground and read a book. It's incredibly peaceful. The camp hosts are great - never had an issue with them. If they're not outside when you come in, just head to your site, they'll come to you eventually. They only do cash, so be prepared with that. There's lots of trees and you can easily sleep in a hammock (or hammocks) here. It's easy to find and usually the last one to fill up as it's the last campground near a string of others. The toilets are clean and there's water to use to cook/wash dishes with, etc. I almost don't want to post this because, well, it's just too good to share. So, on second thought, this campsites horrible. You shouldn't come here or stay here. It's just THE WORST! Are you convinced?
