Shady Dell Campground
Overview
Overview
Shady Dell Campground in Kamas, Utah puts travelers right on the edge of the scenic Weber River valley and the western slopes of the Wasatch Mountains. This setting provides an appealing basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts navigating Utah's high country via State Route 32. Visitors arriving at this destination trade urban noise for open skies, towering cottonwoods, and the steady rush of nearby mountain streams flowing down from the high peaks.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned near the gateway to the Uinta Mountains, the terrain around Kamas features dramatic elevation changes, alpine forests, and wide-open ranch lands. Travelers typically approach via Utah State Route 248 from Park City or Highway 32 from Coalville, encountering crisp mountain air and cool evening temperatures during the summer months. The regional climate brings snowy winters and pleasant, warm days from June through September, making seasonal timing an important consideration for trailer and motorhome travel.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details vary and should never be assumed, RVers planning a stay at this location must contact park management directly. Be sure to confirm essential operational specifics before arrival, including site dimensions, maximum rig lengths, electrical hookup amperages, water availability, and waste station locations. Inquiring ahead regarding fire ring rules, shade canopy availability, and pet regulations ensures your setup matches the actual layout of the grounds.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor recreation dominates the surrounding region, with the nearby Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest offering miles of hiking, mountain biking, and backcountry exploring. Anglers can access blue-ribbon trout fishing along the Provo and Weber rivers within a short drive from Kamas. For motorized water sports and boating, visitors frequently tow their gear toward nearby Rockport State Park or Jordanelle State Park, both easily accessible for day trips.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits road-trippers, anglers, and nature-focused campers who prioritize proximity to public lands over luxury resort features. It appeals strongly to travelers exploring the Mirror Lake Highway corridor who want a manageable drive to trailheads without staying directly inside crowded commercial zones. Those seeking a rustic alpine atmosphere rather than urban conveniences will find this location aligns well with their travel style.

This campground is easy to get to and gorgeous! We love going up for day trips and over night stays
Tanner Noble
Such a pretty campground! The only reason it’s not a 5 is because it’s right off the road and water was out throughout the campground when we went. Other than that it was beautiful. Just a short walk to the river and a short drive to many reservoirs in the area.

This campground was so peaceful and beautiful! There’s a rushing river right behind the camping area and lots of fun places to explore. The camp host, Todd, was very friendly and helpful! We’ll definitely be back.

Use to camp here when I was a little kid, If you walk back into the Forrest you will find rivers to fish. You also have the fairy Forrest with all the painted rocks and that is fun to explore. Usually is kind of crowded
