Roam Uinta
3. Roam Uinta
23mi from Alta · 18 sites · Tents, Lodging
The Provo River runs along the edge of the property, and the Uinta Mountains start climbing from here. Roam Uinta sits at the gateway to Mirror Lake Scenic Byway, a 42-mile road that crests at 10,715 feet and opens up some of the best alpine camping, fishing, and hiking in Utah. Kamas is the last supply stop before the cell service drops out and the high country takes over.
Full-hookup RV sites line the riverbank with 30/50-amp service. Cabins come equipped with full kitchens, linens, and queen sleeper sofas, because “roughing it” has a pretty wide definition. Monthly stays are available year-round for seasonal workers, extended travelers, and anyone who’s figured out they don’t want to leave.
The clubhouse, pool, and hot tub anchor the common areas. A basketball court for burning off energy. Starlink WiFi across the property (a real luxury this close to wilderness). Well-maintained bathhouses and direct river access for guests who want to fish before coffee.
This stretch of the Provo River is blue-ribbon trout water. Rainbow and brown trout push 18 inches. You can cast from the bank without leaving the resort, which is the kind of detail that turns a 2-night stay into a week.

Fort Tabby Campground
14. Fort Tabby Campground
49mi from Alta · 1 site
Fort Tabby is a rustic glamping and outdoor retreat featuring distinctive painted tipis set against a backdrop of rolling hills, open skies, and a nearby river.
The site’s tipis are the centerpiece. One is decorated with deer and geometric borders in earth tones; another carries a bold American-flag motif with stars and stripes; a third shows galloping horses silhouetted against a sunset gradient. Matching picnic tables sit outside each, painted in complementary designs and placed on striped outdoor rugs. Adirondack chairs—some navy, some red—cluster nearby for relaxing. Grill stands and propane fire pits are ready.
Interiors feel cozy and cabin-like. Log-frame beds are dressed in themed quilts (bears, patriotic patchwork, American flags), with matching sofas, nightstands, floor lamps, dreamcatchers, and hanging textiles. Soft natural light filters through the canvas and circular vents at the peak. One space includes a wooden entry bench and potted plants; another offers both a full bed with two twin beds.
A short walk leads to a tree-lined river where guests can fish in waders, casting amid green banks and distant mountains. A simple picnic table sits on the grassy shore. Evenings center on campfires: groups gather in folding chairs around open flames or a metal fire pit etched with horse silhouettes, roasting marshmallows under the stars.
Practical amenities include a clean, modern restroom building of tan-and-brown block with a metal roof. Inside are private stalls, sinks, mirrors, paper-towel dispensers, grab bars, and bright lighting.
Overall, Fort Tabby blends themed, comfortable tipi lodging with riverside recreation, outdoor cooking, and communal fire-side evenings in a scenic, open landscape.

Loved staying at Lynnellen’s Hipcamp so much that we extended our stay by two more nights mid-trip.
She personally greets you, walks you through everything, and has created an incredibly thoughtful setup for travelers. In the evenings, she puts out sandwich fixings and keeps a fridge stocked with water bottles you can grab for your tent. Inside, there’s iced tea, ice, hot cocoa, and other small touches that make a big difference.
Each camping space feels private while still being comfortable and well-equipped with real beds, clean sheets, power, and lighting. She even set out a telescope so guests can take in the night sky.
Mornings shift into a bed-and-breakfast experience. Everyone gathers at a long table, talking and connecting, while Lynnellen cooks whatever you’re craving. There are around 20 hot cocoa flavors to choose from, which my daughter loved. She is an excellent cook and genuinely kind.
There’s also a huge garden where you can pick fresh vegetables for a snack.
What started as a simple place to sleep turned into one of the most memorable parts of our trip. It felt less like a campsite and more like a community. One camper even asked to take a photo with her, which says a lot. She also gave me great advice, and my daughter absolutely adored her.

Love camping on this property the tent was lovely and set up for everything and more. The host stayed up very late to let us come stay with a last minute notice from our road trip. We stayed on the way to our destination and on the way back. We had to leave early each time so we didn’t have time to stay for the homemade breakfast but there was food set out the first stay in the morning, for early risers which we appreciated. Loved seeing the animals around and walking around the property. Thank you!

Stayed here for a few nights, it’s got all the creature comforts, even a little dvd player above the tv. Bathroom was great and the view from the deck was amazing. Only a couple of things bothered me, the provided wifi did not work, which isn’t that big of a deal since cellphone service was generally good. The other thing is that there is a tent site directly next to it which did get occupied by a large group for 2 of the 4 nights we stayed there so you end up sharing the “backyard” so to speak. More of a nitpick than anything. Otherwise I would definitely come back. The town right across the bridge had a great Mexican food store and a very cozy coffee shop only a few minutes drive away too.

Staying here was such a pleasure. Lynnellen was so kind to my kids and I. It honestly felt like we were visiting a family member’s house.
The feel is sort of like staying at a bnb, but there are amazing tents out back. I was not expecting breakfast and all the magnificent bonuses, but was so grateful. We will be back.

We spent two nights there for my birthday with our dog and loved it! Lynnellen is definitely made for this. She was super friendly and obliging, and didn’t murder us for getting some candle wax on her rug in the tent lol so fives all around! We came early in the season so the outdoor shower wasn’t open but we had access to showers inside the house, so it all worked out! Not much firewood, but that’s not a deal breaker by any means, and there was plenty of kindling all around the yard. The swings were great and we mainly just relaxed the whole time! The outhouse was right next to us and was very clean. It was pretty cold and windy so we had a lot of fun bundling up in the tent with the heated blanket :)
