It’s the time of year to spend your weekends in the mountains. Hanging out with good friends or family, getting in touch with nature, and just having things be a little simpler for the weekend. So we’ve given you a list of some of the best camping spots around the Salt Lake City area.
Anderson Cove Campground in Huntsville, UT
Huntsville, UT is about 45 miles from downtown Salt Lake City. Anderson Cover gives you the opportunity to hang out in the water, or stay by the shore side and activities all around. It offers water skiing, canoeing, and kayaking. For those who want to stay dry, you can watch the boaters, have a nice picnic, and enjoy a few rounds of volleyball. Not only can you enjoy some boating on the water, but you’re actually able to swim at the campground, which is something hard to find at most campgrounds. There’s also plenty of walking and hiking available. Another perk of this campground is that it has a general store, drinking water, and vault toilets nearby for convenience. This campground is a favorite, so make sure you reserve a spot before your desired camping dates.
