About this campground
Nestled in the heart of Heber Valley, Wasatch Mountain State Park transforms with the seasons into a year-round outdoor playground. Summer visitors can tee off on pristine golf courses, explore winding hiking trails on foot or horseback, and enjoy leisurely picnics beneath towering pines. When winter blankets the landscape in snow, the park becomes a wonderland for snowmobilers carving fresh tracks, cross-country skiers gliding through peaceful forests, and families whooshing down tubing hills.
Wasatch Mountain State Park offers a variety of camping experiences, including fully equipped RV sites, tent-only areas, and cabin lodging. Group camping is also available.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time at the Historic Tate Barn and wander through Huber Grove, where weathered timber and preserved structures tell the story of Heber Valley's pioneering agricultural heritage. These carefully maintained landmarks offer glimpses into the lives of early settlers who transformed this mountain valley into a thriving community, their architectural legacy standing as testament to Utah's rural traditions.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the park's dramatic seasonal shifts, where winter brings a magical transformation with gentle snowfalls accumulating up to 4.54 inches, occasional freezing rain creating crystalline landscapes, and crisp mountain air. Summer rewards visitors with warm, sun-drenched days that peak around a comfortable 90°F in late July, perfect for outdoor adventures without the oppressive heat found at lower elevations.
