Customer Reviews
Spruce Campground on Big Cottonwood Canyon Road is absolutely stunning, especially in the winter. The snow blankets everything, creating a peaceful and magical atmosphere. The trees look incredible covered in white, and the air is crisp and refreshing. The best part is the river that runs right by the campground. In winter, you can hear the gentle sound of the water flowing, even with snow all around. It adds to the beauty and makes the whole place feel like a winter wonderland. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy nature and the serenity of the season.
Fun campsite, winter hike with school and learned fun things about the environment.
I use to come here as a kid with my family, now I am able to share it with my kids. Quiet sites, clean restrooms, flush toilets. There are taps for water, but you are better off bringing your own drinking water. Please be respectful and clean up your camp before you leave..i.e. trash
We rented a group campsite and it was so nice. The campsite was in good shape, and we very easily fit 40 people. This is the perfect spot to gather and spend a very nice time up in the mountains. It’s beautiful, easy access to see the river and other trails, and lots of shade and trees.
We were at lower 11 campground. This is a double site. Most of the area was in full sun so we broke out our shade canopy in the middle section and over the table. There are two fully shaded spots for tents. One of them is at a slight incline but it worked for us. There are also two benches , two grills for charcoal and a fire pit It’s also right by the restroom with flush toilets. We did two hikes while we were there to lake Catherine and to donut falls. Both required us to drive to the trailhead. The camp was quiet and we enjoyed our first time to this area and would come back.
