Why Utah? Volume 5: Let’s Rough It!
A night spent underneath the stars will teach you everything you need to know about prime Utah real estate. The ultimate outdoor enthusiast’s playground, Utah has 329 public campgrounds and 40 national parks, national monuments, and national recreation area campgrounds to take in and explore. Each offers a different take on ‘camping in Utah’ — ensuring an overnight adventure that is totally worth missing your bed for.
So out of the hundreds of options, what are the best camping areas in the Beehive State? That all depends on what kind of camper you are. To some it might be a trek to a remote site in the wilderness of Zion National Park, with no amenities and few other campers. To others it might be an off-the-beaten-path spot with RV hookups, running water, hot showers, and toilets (glamping, anyone?)
It’s nearly impossible to narrow down the list, but here’s our pick for the top 10 camping spots in Utah!
Mirror Lake (Uinta Mountains, Hwy 150, Northern Utah)
Mirror Lake Campground is one of the most popular along Hwy. 150. At an elevation of 10,000 feet, you have ample opportunity to breathe in some clean, fresh air. Fish the lake by boat or from shore, or hike one of the nature trails. These campgrounds are very popular, so if you want to obtain a campsite, reserve it early!
Coral Pink Sand Dunes (Kanab, Hwy 89, Southwestern Utah)
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park offers spectacular contrasts of red rock cliffs, blue skies, juniper and pinyon pine trees and a sweeping 3,000-acre expanse of pink sand dunes. The park is perfect for camping, hiking and off-highway vehicle riding. There are 22 campgrounds with amenities including picnic tables, restrooms, hot showers and drinking water.
Smith & Morehouse Reservoir (Kamas, Utah)
For alpine camping in close proximity to the Wasatch Front, you won’t find anything more stunning than the campsites at Smith and Morehouse Reservoir. The campground features 34 units, culinary water, toilets, and handicapped facilities. The reservoir offers great fishing and the surrounding mountains offer plenty of hiking opportunities.
Fish Lake (Central Utah)
Fish Lake located in central Utah is a great getaway to stay and play, fishing, hiking, biking and boat rentals. The surrounding Fishlake National Forest has 29 developed campgrounds and nine undeveloped campgrounds along with cabin rentals. Fish Lake holds Rainbow Trout, Splake and Yellow Perch so don’t forget your poles!
American Fork Canyon (Wasatch Mountains, Utah Valley)
Accessed through the “Alpine Loop,” American Fork Canyon offers extraordinary mountain vistas reminiscent of the Swiss Alps and is famous for Timpanogos Cave National Monument. This area is home to popular camping and fishing spots in the summer as well as excellent snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and backcountry skiing during the winter months.
Navajo Tribal Park (Monument Valley, Southeastern Utah)
Monument Valley is contained entirely within the Navajo reservation, occupying both Utah and Arizona. Known as one of the most remarkable and famous landscapes in the world, Navajo Tribal Park is 29,817 acres and sits at an elevation of 5,564 feet, offering hikers numerous isolated trails and routes. As it is part of Navajo Nation, a hiking and/or camping permit must be obtained before entering the reservation.
Pine Lake (Dixie, Utah)
Pine Lake Campground is located next to its scenic namesake lake high on the Colorado Plateau at an elevation of 8,100 feet. Enjoy canoeing, fishing and exploring local hiking and off-road vehicle trails. The campground sits among a forest of spruce and towering ponderosa pines adjacent to Pine Lake.
Sand Hollow (Hurricane, Utah)
With its warm, blue waters and red sandstone landscape, Utah’s newest state park is also one of its most popular. Boat and fish on Sand Hollow Reservoir, explore and ride the dunes of Sand Mountain with an off-highway vehicle, then camp in either the full hookup westside campground or the new sandpit campground.
Zion National Park (Springdale, Utah)
Towering canyon walls and sculpted monolithic mountains await you at Zion National Park.There are two campgrounds in the park; both are open all year and offer tent and trailer sites, RV hookups and flushing toilets. If you want to camp in the backcountry you must obtain a backcountry permit and pay an additional fee.
Lone Rock (Lake Powell, Southern Utah)
Didn’t think ‘beach camping’ in Utah was a thing? Lone Rock is the namesake of one of the most popular beaches in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The popularity is due largely to the fact that it is one of the few spots that you can drive directly to the water’s edge and camp on the shoreline. You can also boat – both motorized and human-powered – or enjoy the only designated ATV area in Glen Canyon.
Are these the best camping spots in Utah? We think so! #whyutah

February is not just about Valentine's Day chocolates and romantic gestures; it's also about spreading love and kindness to those who need it most. And boy, did we have an amazing time doing just that with our February Giveback! This month, we teamed up with the incredible For The Kids nonprofit to make a difference in the lives of children in our community. And let us tell you, it was a heartwarming experience from start to finish. First things first, our team rolled up their sleeves and dove straight into action. We spent a day volunteering, packing a whopping 100 meals to be delivered to those in need. The joy of knowing that these meals would bring smiles to the faces of children warmed our hearts in ways we can't even describe. But we didn't stop there! Oh no, we were just getting started. With our sleeves still rolled up and our spirits soaring, our very own Joe packed the truck with all those delicious deliveries for that Friday. The excitement was palpable as we imagined the happiness these meals would bring to families across our community. And guess what? Our amazing supporters rallied behind us in full force! Through their generosity, we collected over 100 additional items to donate to For The Kids. From canned goods to pantry staples, every single donation meant the world to us and to those we're helping. As we reflect on our February Giveback journey, we can't help but feel overwhelmingly grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. Grateful for the support of our community. And most of all, grateful for the chance to spread love in every way we can. It's worth mentioning that our dedication to For The Kids goes way back – we supported their mission back in 2021, and we're committed to continuing this beautiful partnership for years to come. To everyone who volunteered, donated, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines – thank you. Thank you for believing in the power of kindness. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. Together, we're making the world a brighter, happier place, one meal and one smile at a time.
