Weekend Trip to The Rockin Robbins Ranch

What a beautiful experience. We stayed for two nights and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The weather was perfectly crisp and fall-like, and Lynnellen made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. She shared fresh vegetables from her garden and repeatedly encouraged us to make ourselves comfortable, and we truly felt like we could. Each morning, she made us breakfast that left our bellies happy and full, and Sunday dinner was incredibly nourishing. The conversations we shared were filled with warmth and sincerity. You can tell Lynnellen is someone full of love and joy who genuinely wants to share it with others, and you can see that same spirit reflected in the people passing through her home. If you’re looking for a place that radiates community, love, and connection, this is it. Our hearts feel very full after just two days here. Highly recommended and if we’re ever in the area again, we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Lynnellen!

Perfect for a campervan! Midway was adorable- worth the detour, only wish I could have stayed longer. I needed a safe place to stay for an evening while driving back from dinosaur national monument to Portland. Gypsy's place was absolutely perfect- safe, secure, easy to find. The shower and full bathroom access was a major bonus after 4 days on the river. The property was adorable and I easily could have spent several days here relaxing and exploring the area.

The best campsites in Deer Creek State Park Utah, UT guide

Overview

About

On the shores of the Deer Creek Reservoir just an hour from Salt Lake City, Deer Creek State Park is a watersports haven in an otherwise arid desert. Boating, waterskiing, kiteboarding, paddleboarding, swimming, and fishing are all popular activities at the park and campers will find a variety of sites to choose from including full-hookup, pull-through RV sites and more secluded tent-only sites. The park has a bit of a resort feel with a floating water park, onsite upscale restaurant, and zipline tours. Boats, jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks, and more are available for rent at the Deer Creek Island Resort.

Notable campgrounds

Best for RVs: Chokecherry Campground
Best for tent campers: Great Horned Owl Campground

Tips for snagging a campsite

All campsite reservations are available on a four-month rolling basis. Reservations are strongly recommended during the months and on weekends the rest of the year.
Any unreserved sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Not all sites are suitable for large RVs. Make sure the campsite will accommodate your vehicle length before booking. Only one vehicle is allowed per campsite unless otherwise specified.

When to go

Deer Creek State Park is open year-round but the campgrounds are only open from May 1 through October. Water temperatures can be chilly on the Deer Creek Reservoir even in the summer months; July and August are the best times for watersports. Expect crowds on summer weekends so visit mid-week if you can. Fall is especially nice for camping, kayaking, and hiking around the lake. In winter, Deer Creek Reservoir offers some of the best ice fishing near Salt Lake City.

Know before you go

Campsites include covered picnic tables, fire pits, and access to hot showers.
Any boat coming from out of state or Lake Powell must be checked and decontaminated prior to launching into Deer Creek.
Coldwater conditions exist at Deer Creek. All vessels including stand up paddleboards must have a life jacket onboard for each person.
Dogs are allowed only in the campground. Dogs are not allowed in the water, in boats, or on park trails.

Nearby attractions

Embark on a prehistoric adventure while camping near Jurassic National Monument, a destination that will transport you back in time. This extraordinary site is a paradise for camping enthusiasts, with its rugged landscapes and fascinating dinosaur fossils waiting to be discovered.
