Grantsville Reservoir Campground

Grantsville Reservoir Campground offers a stark desert camping experience with expansive views of the surrounding mountains, providing a unique blend of isolation and accessibility just minutes from town.

The campground features basic amenities, including concrete fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets, set against the backdrop of the high desert landscape. While the lack of shade and trees creates a windswept atmosphere, it also allows for unobstructed stargazing opportunities and a true sense of wide-open spaces.

Located about four miles south of Grantsville on Mormon Trail Road, this campground serves as an ideal base for fishing enthusiasts and those seeking a quick escape from urban life. The reservoir itself is regularly stocked with trout, making it a popular spot for anglers. Hikers and nature photographers will appreciate the distinctive bowl-within-a-bowl terrain, offering unique perspectives of the Stansbury Mountains.

This no-frills campground caters to self-sufficient campers looking for weekend getaways or extended stays to disconnect from the bustle of daily life. Its proximity to Salt Lake City makes it a convenient option for urban dwellers seeking a taste of desert solitude without venturing too far from civilization.
