Best Tent Camping: Utah is a tent camper's dream. From more than 400 campgrounds statewide, the author has culled the 50 best places to pitch your tent and steer clear of those frantic and bustling campgrounds full of RVs, concrete slabs, and loud portable stereos. Most of the campgrounds included keep tent campers in their element: away from the biggest crowds and in those quieter, special campgrounds that only the locals seem to know about. Each highlighted campground has been carefully selected for its friendliness to the camper as well as for what it offers campers in the surrounding area. Campgrounds included put the car camper in some of Utah's best and most beautiful backcountry; from the colorful sandstone canyons of southern Utah to the thick woods of the Wasatch Mountains in the north. National parks, state parks, a desert reserve, and even an island host some of the 50 featured campgrounds. Whether you have a large family looking to get away for the weekend, lead a scout troop that wants to try something new, or know a serious outdoors enthusiast searching for an adventure for the day and a place to crash for the night, Best Tent Camping: Utah has done all the work to give campers the tools to plan an amazing, unforgettable trip.
