The best camping near Provo with campfires

·
From its prime spot in the Utah Valley, Provo offers killer camping. To the west, the massive Utah Lake offers waterfront sites. The Wasatch Front rises to the east—sleep high in the peaks or deep in canyons. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, Provo has you covered. Cool off during hot Utah summers at Utah Lake State Park. Here, the lakeside RV park offers water and electricity hookups. To the south toward Springville, you’ll find another small campground with picnic tables at Lincoln Beach. Both areas are ideal for boating, fishing, and water sports. A short drive up the Provo Canyon, camp by the Provo River at Nunns Park. Local families love the campground at Deer Creek State Park. A short walk from your tent, you can swim, boat, or zip line. Adrenaline-seekers can even try kiteboarding. For a quiet escape, head for the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Diamond Campground is popular with hikers and anglers. At Whiting, explore on horseback; Rock Canyon offers peaceful, shaded sites. Toward Salt Lake City, try the Mount Timpanogos Campground.

Need to make a pit stop or just looking for a short getaway? Camp Sage under the Milky Way is exactly what you get. This is a great rest area tucked away behind a hilly landscape and out of sight of Hwy 40. Wake up to the smell of sage where you will feel relaxed, calm yet experience the invigorating sense of earthy goodness. Go to bed under the stars and if you're a late nighter you'll be mesmerized at the sight of the stunning Milky Way. There is a tent pad able to fit up to 6 people, a fire ring and spacious horseshoe driveway for parking multiple vehicles or a small to midsize RV/Camper trailer. Newly installed is a rustic country style privacy fence. This is a no frills campsite where you will need to provide your own water, toilet and firewood (We can provide firewood for an extra fee). There is a rest stop with restrooms just down the road going east on hwy 40 if needed. Pack it in and pack it out.
