Moose Meadow

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents1 acre · Brighton, UT

This is a private driveway in a great location in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The driveway is long and surrounded by aspen, abutting the "old" unused house on my property, so it is private. Although near the main road, the site feels private. You are less than 1 minute walk to Big Cottonwood Creek, and there is hiking out the door in multiple directions, as well as easy biking to Solitude Resort. As a bonus, you are 1/4 mile from Silver Fork Lodge if you get a hankering for a prepared meal. Please note that there are NO DOGS allowed in Big or Little Cottonwood canyons. There is a high fine if so. So this is not an appropriate spot to bring your four-legged friends unfortunately.

RIVER BEND CAMP GROUND

3 sites · RVs, Tents1 acre · Morgan, UT

We are currently in our late winter early spring mode and our property is at 4000 ft, conditions can change based on the weather. The river runs to high during this period and swimming or water use is not available. We have ten acres that our home sit on but about 9 acres and consist of dry farm grass. We use 1 acre for camping and parking. The Weber river runs across the back of our property where we have a campground with tables and firepits. We have added some wooden porta potty enclosed in small tents which we service every day or as needed. We do have firewood available at a very reasonable price but you can bring your own. We do not have potable water at our sites but we can and will provide water from our home if you provide your own container. Site selection is determined by type of sleeping accommodations. **We allow 2 adults per site and/or 2 adults and minor children per site. (Exceptions must be approved and additional fees paid) We are not a public campground and only list through Hipcamp and so our property is posted with NO TRESPASSING SIGNS. It is very important to let us know your approximate arrival time so that we can guide you down to the campgrounds and get you the best spot base on your type of camping. Sleeping in trailers versus tent campers) One draw back to our property is that we are within 1/2 mile of a well use highway (US 84) and railroad track. We have only had one camper who was concerned about the noise. Here at the house we don't notice it and maybe we are just use to it. Limited swimming and use of paddle board based on river conditions. During the winter we occasionally get snowed in and in the spring and early summer we experience high and swift water levels based on snow melt and prohibits using the river for swimming or other activities. Limited fishing is based on water levels with fly fishing being the best however you can use lures . We would prefer catch and release because the river is not stocked by the Utah fish and game. So, we are dependent on normal reproduction of the fish. ALL UTAH FISHING REGULATION APPLY. WE HAVE INDICATED WHEEL CHAIR ACCESSIBLE. THE WHOLE AREA IS BASICLLY LEVEL AND GRASS AND BARK COVERED.

Camping near Kamas guide

Overview

Kamas’ tagline, “The Gateway to the Uinta Mountains,” says it all. Less than an hour’s drive east of Salt Lake City, the suburban town is hemmed in on all sides by mountains, lakes, and state and national parkland. There’s little to get excited about in Kamas itself, although the small town is well-equipped for mountaineers and has everything you’ll need to prepare for your wilderness adventures. Then, it’s time to hit the road—the Mirror Lake Highway Scenic Byway takes you right through the heart of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, where you can take your pick of hiking trails and remote campgrounds. For low-key outdoor adventures, there’s also lakeside camping at Jordanelle State Park to the west of town, where boating, water-skiing, and fishing are the main pastimes. Winter sports and golf are on offer at nearby Wasatch Mountain State Park, while Rockport State Park is a popular spot for fishing.
