“Beautiful drive up but road was closed”

The drive was beautiful but the road to it was closed. I had a hard time finding any info on that on the website. It was highway 92 so just be sure and check if going that way. Would have been a pretty spot but did enjoy the drive at least and there were people camping that hiked in.

Quick and easy spot if you live down in the Utah valley. Lots of well built fire pits as well. We got there at 8:30 PM on a Friday night and only 1 other van was there. Saturday morning people came and left

I scouted this area out on June 2nd. The road is closed about a mile or two before reaching Salamander Flat. No way to reach this campsite.

I would only camp here on weekdays. We were here on Sat June 27, 2020. We managed to back in between two trucks... it was very overcrowded and one almost full toolset was disturbing. No water, no sanitizers and 100s of people with families with LOTS of kids running around. The place was jammed with huge campers and pop ups. Many tents were jammed into the surrounding fields and any open space. It was obvious that there was a LOT of drinking going on, party hollering and stumbling drunk young adults were observed. Beautiful views and needing a place to camp made this our only choice as all campgrounds were full. I would not stay here again on a weekend.

This is a nice and clean place. Only 3 stars in noise because there are vehicles on the road 24 hours. This campground is near to the main road. But I want to go camping again in this place. You can have very good contact with the mother nature. My family loves this place.

We camped here on a friday night in the summer (6/12) and the campground was extremely full. Thankfully we took our camper out at 10am on friday or there would have been no place to park later on in the day. There were lots of families, so lots of little kids running around. I would say this campground was a little overcrowded for my liking, not as big as we thought it would be. There is a pit toilet, but I would suggest bringing your own toiler paper because the bathrooms ran out of it by late friday. Beautiful views though!

This is a large gravel lot, with fire rings, but there is no where to pull in for an RV. The fire rings have some tree cover as well as a spot for a tent but RVs have to park alongside several large rocks. There were two more private site tucked away a little further past the vault toilets but were both taken. Some very pretty views on the drive up and from the campground.
You must pay to drive down the road to get to this campground. About $3 for several days unless you have an Annual National Parks Pass.

Loved staying here in early October as the location was great- right in the heart of the beautiful scenic byway. Convenient for exploring the area and tons of hikes around. Not really much privacy if you stay in the main area (directly ahead when you pull in), but we got lucky and snagged the site at the end of the road to the right. The road in (from either direction) is VERY narrow (no middle line) with sharp turns and lots of weekend traffic, so larger rigs beware. Stayed here the first weekend in October and got snowed on, but the aspen trees were stunning.

One of the best free sites I've ever seen so close to a major population base. Definitely not perfect (no running water, soft dirt that can get everything quite dusty), but it's easily accessible in the summer months and has a beautiful view.
