Explore northwest Utah from your RV home base in the state capital.
Utah's capital and largest city isn't usually the first place campers think of when planning an RV trip, but it is a great area to set up a base, particularly if you're itching to explore the Utah Valley. The city is set in the northwestern part of the state, where you're more likely to find lakes, mountains, and forests than the arid landscapes and ancient rock formations more common to the southern and eastern reaches of Utah. You'll find great RV camping options both in Salt Lake City and right outside of town that range from sleek, well-appointed RV campgrounds with full hookups, dump stations, and even wifi to more basic options without much in terms of bells and whistles. Tons more RV campgrounds—many open year-round—can also be found in the nearby ski resort of Park City, a 45-minute drive away.
