It’s a good idea to check weather app for conditions. *Landscape/Views - Utah natural landscape changes markedly with the seasons. Some photos may reflect green grasses, when these dry out mid summer, they can produce fine stickers to be aware of with long hair pets, kids, and ankles in general. Views can change depending on developing neighboring properties. Sunsets either at the lake or the property are unobstructed and often dramatic. Night sky viewing is also pretty awesome as there is very little light pollution.

National forest 59mi from Elk Ridge · 328 sites

Trivia time! Which part of Utah contains the densest black bear and largest elk population? The Manti-La Sal National Forest, of course! How about this one: where does most of the coal mined in Utah come from? Well, 85% of it is mined right here in the Manti-La Sal. This special forest is full of natural surprises, like lofty mountaintops, lush meadows, cavernous sandstone canyons, plus plenty of water. If it sounds like there’s a ton of diversity here, that’s because there truly is! All of this diversity means that there’s a lot to do out here. Near Moab, the forest is home to the La Sal Mountains with their tall peaks and narrow canyons. To the north, on the Wasatch Plateau, you’ll be yearning for your next road trip along the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byways (also called the Energy Loop). And when it comes time to hit the hay at night? You guessed it—there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

Once upon a time, the town of Scofield had over 6,000 residents. Once the mining boom slowed down, that number shrank to less than 100. But, this small town draws in huge visitor numbers, thanks to the Scofield Reservoir. You could be one of them! If you’d like to spend your outdoor getaway camping, fishing, hiking, and swimming, then come discover what Scofield has to offer. In the winter, this is also one of the best places around to ice fish for rainbow and cutthroat trout. Oh, but we almost forgot to mention the best part! Thanks to the park’s prime real estate up in the Manti-LaSal Mountains, the scenery is hard to beat. Take it all in at one of three day and overnight use spots.

Farm Camp Near Maple Canyon

17. Farm Camp Near Maple Canyon

27mi from Elk Ridge · 1 site · Tent, RV

Situated on a working family farm in Fountain Green, Utah at nearly 6,000 feet elevation, Hansen Hollows sits just 15 minutes from Maple Canyon — one of the world’s premier sport climbing destinations with over 550 routes ranging from beginner 5.4 to elite 5.14. When the Maple Canyon campground fills up — and it does, fast — this is your base camp. The farm itself is worth the stay on its own terms. Elk herds move through at dusk, wild turkeys patrol the brush line at dawn, and the Milky Way spreads wall to wall overhead on clear nights. The Sanpete Valley stretches out below with the Wasatch Plateau rising behind the property. This is honest high desert Utah at its finest — sagebrush, scrub oak, native grasses, and genuinely dark skies. Hansen Hollows has been in the same family for generations. The land carries that history in every weathered fence post and irrigation channel. You’re not staying at a resort — you’re camping on real working agricultural land where the seasons still matter and the quiet is genuine. Whether you’re here to climb, hike, stargaze, or simply disconnect from everything, Hansen Hollows gives you the space and the silence to do it properly. ⚠️ ACTIVE FIRE RESTRICTION — UPDATED JUNE 25, 2026 Sanpete County is currently under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions effective June 12, 2026. Campfires and all open fires using solid fuels are prohibited until further notice. This includes use of the fire ring at Hansen Hollows. Propane stoves with a shut-off valve are permitted when used at least 3 feet from flammable material. We will update this listing immediately when restrictions are lifted. Please check current status at utahfireinfo.gov before your visit. Thank you for helping protect this land and our community during an extremely dangerous fire season.

2 nights at The Rockin Robbins Ranch

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!

Gypsy and Brian were so welcoming and fun. We happened to be staying in our camper van on their property when they had some personal friends over and they welcomed us in with open arms and shared s’mores around the campfire. Their newly opened composting outhouse was really convenient and clean too. We also had access to an indoor bathroom with a shower but we were only there for one night and didn’t need to use it. We would definitely stay here again! We had a great time.
