With over 690 lakefront options, you can set up camp for as little as $35 a night, with the average price hovering at $38. Campsites like Zion Wright Ranch Eco-Camp (2805 reviews), Kolob Campground (734 reviews), and Ravens Nest Utah (110 reviews) stand out for their easy lake access and reliable facilities.
