A great place with spectacular views. Close enough to Salt Lake City but also out of the way enough to see the night sky and not hear sounds of civilization. Specifically set up for girl's camps but plenty of other camping spots nearby

We're just up there enjoying scenery and rock hunting. Well kept dirt roads, campers are friendly. Look out for kids racing bikes or atv's. You don't need a 4x4.

Excellent private girls and family camp. One wonderful features is the lack of phone service! Great place to disconnect.
