I specifically stayed at the Pine Grove Camp Site. It has a lot of large mature trees, 4 bathroom facilities, plenty of camping areas, and an extremely large fire pit/picnic area. It's in walking distance to both Doughnut Falls and Dog Lake, plus it's a short drive to Solitude, Brighton, and many other beautiful trails. We arrived here on Friday and stayed two nights with a large group. The event brought out a lot of people for the daytime, but most people opted to not stay the night. This meant we had more than enough room to camp and have our own space. We picked a spot a little ways up the trail which made us a little too far from the bathrooms, but we weren't disturbed by anybody who woke up early or stayed up too late. Big Cottonwood gets extremely busy and this campground offers a few other group campsites. However, this campground was secluded enough that you were never bothered by the hustle and bustle of others and you were really able to feel like you were in the great outdoors. The campsite says that it can hold 100-125 people. The large picnic/fire pit area can definitely hold this many, but I feel like that many people camping could get pretty cramped. Our group was mostly couples so that would be close to 50-60 tents. I could see it working with families where you'd only need 20-30 tents. We definitely enjoyed the site though and would happily come back.

Doesn't hurt to ask, right? So I called and said we were thinking about reserving a night there, but wanted to check if they had any available places for short-term storage afterwards, as we would be staying elsewhere for the next 3 nights. Woman on phone, very rudely: "Do you mean you don't want to stay here with us at all but you want to store your trailer here?" Me: "No" (repeated the same info as before). Woman, very curtly: "So we need to get you registered for a night then." Me, a little more warily: "Well we're considering it, but I just wanted to check about any available storage options you may have." Woman: "No, if you pay for a site, then you can store it here." Clearly, just asking a simple yes or no question was very harmful (to them) and their rude and hurtful reaction means that they are not interested in our business at all. A simple, kind, " No, I'm sorry we don't offer that" would have been lovely. Management may want to speak to the people who answer the phone, and re-teach what respectful interactions look like.

Millcreek Canyon is located close to Big Cottonwood Canyon but is far more pet-friendly. In fact,…read moreit felt designed with dogs in mind--there were bag and trash stations for pet waste, plus signs posted noting which days dogs are allowed off-leash. We love giving Luna off-leash time on hikes like this, as long as she stays on the trails and listens when we call her back or ask her to wait. After a long day of driving, we decided to stretch our legs on the Rattlesnake Trail (not my favorite name, but we went for it). The hike was 2.79 miles and took us about 1.5 hours to complete. It was rated as moderate, with plenty of inclines and beautiful views on the way up--the descent was much easier. Entry was $5, which you pay on your way out. Overall, it was a great way to get some exercise and let Luna roam in a safe, welcoming environment.

The lower B loop tends to be mostly RVs which makes sense. Even though our site was super sunny, we had a nice gazebo so it's not a total loss if that's all you can get. One thing I must talk about is how great our camp host was. She was great about enforcing the speed limit and cleaning the bathrooms. I think the bathrooms at this campground were the cleanest bathrooms I've ever used while camping. We bought firewood from her but it was cash only! So definitely remember cash if you plan on having a fire! Because this campground is at a lower elevation than some of the other Utah campgrounds, it can get pretty hot in July. Maybe that's why there were so many spots open even though I waited till the last minute to book.

We had site 64, which was at the very end of the campground in a small loop with bathrooms in the middle. There were 3 sites in the area, and our site was extremely private due to the trees and because you have to go down a set of stairs to reach the table and fire pit. We parked our trailer at the top, which ended up being great, but I'm not sure if the site has a tent pad or not. Our site was tucked among the trees and had hiking trails leading in multiple directions behind it. It was clean, but the bathroom was full of those gross sewer flies (which maybe can't be helped?). The sound of the flowing river was extremely soothing and even drowned out the sounds from our [super drunk] neighbors. I'd highly recommend checking out the pictures of each site on the recreation.gov website. There are many beautiful and private sites, but many that weren't as private or level (if that matters to you). I'd also recommend booking as soon as the reservation window opens, which I think is in January, for the best sites and dates. The campground is almost always completely full as you get closer to the summer months. This is my new favorite spot for sure, can't wait to return next year!

Targeted primarily to families and younger children, this park has several water slides (none super fast), a lazy river, a pirate-themed kiddy pool, and a few bigger casual swimming pools. Additionally, Cardiac Canyon is a tubing rapids-style water slide that's a blast for all ages! Besides the pools, Cherry Hill has a fun miniature golf course, a rock wall, a maze, a kiddie boat ride, a kiddie play place, blasterball, and a trampoline game. Staff members are young--most are high school kids, but each team member I encountered was friendly and respectful. One great thing about Cherry Hill is that you can bring in outside food and drink into the park, though they offer concessions for those who are interest. I would recommend any family try out Cherry Hill!
