Uinta-Wasatch-Cache/Tony Grove Lake
Overview
Tony Grove Lake offers an escape into one of the most scenic high-altitude basins in Northern Utah. Situated at over 8,000 feet within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, this campground surrounds a stunning glacial lake known for its crystal-clear water and dramatic limestone cliffs. RVers visiting during the summer months are treated to world-renowned wildflower displays that carpet the meadows in vibrant colors, creating a tranquil mountain retreat for those seeking a quiet connection with nature.
Location & Surroundings
The campground is located approximately 25 miles up the Logan Canyon Scenic Byway from the city of Logan. The drive itself is a highlight of the trip, featuring winding roads alongside the Logan River and towering limestone walls. Once at the lake, the air is significantly cooler than the valley floor, providing a refreshing refuge from the summer heat. The surrounding Mount Naomi Wilderness provides a rugged backdrop of jagged peaks and dense subalpine forests of fir and spruce.
Amenities & Park Features
This is a traditional forest service facility designed for those who enjoy a rustic camping experience. The campground features single and double sites, though RVers should note there are no hookups available at this location. Most sites include a picnic table and fire ring, and vault toilets are positioned throughout the loop. While potable water is typically provided during the peak summer season, the park is best suited for self-contained RVs under 35 feet due to the terrain and site dimensions.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure seekers will find plenty to do right outside their camper door. The Tony Grove Nature Trail offers a gentle loop around the water, while the more strenuous trails lead hikers up to the White Pine Lake or the summit of Mount Naomi. The lake is a popular spot for non-motorized boating, such as canoeing and paddleboarding. Anglers often visit to fish for trout, and photographers flock here for the unparalleled mountain vistas and frequent wildlife sightings.
Who This Park Is Best For
Tony Grove Lake is ideal for dry-campers and nature enthusiasts who prioritize scenery and outdoor recreation over resort-style amenities. It is a fantastic choice for those looking to disconnect from technology and immerse themselves in the backcountry. Because of the steep access road and lack of utility hookups, it is best suited for experienced RVers with smaller to mid-sized rigs who appreciate the quiet beauty of a high-alpine environment.

Family vacation to park city. I practiced yoga on the top of Sundance Resort

We went off trail, got lost for an hour, and still had so much here. This is a trail that you can make easy to moderately difficult depending on where you hike, and you can see so many different scenes from desert, to wooded trails, to ice cold waterfalls. Bring the whole family!

Close to Salt Lake City with stunning views in every direction. Plenty of spots for dispersed camping surrounded by nature.

It was thought provoking in its own way but once I realized that this is where the Wasatch Faultline is located...as for anything else energy wise it was different or in other words neutral is how I felt. I felt humbled and more consciously aware personally.

One of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. Visited with my husband. We were just shy of 10,000 feet above sea level. The solitude and being so close to nature being one of just a few people visiting at the time and the clouds being so close there was still snow on the ground, even though it was 58 degrees. You could feel the chill in the air we reached out and picked up snow to show it by FaceTime to our Nephews and grandchildren. It was beyond beautiful. You could look down into the valley and see snow below us and snow above us on the mountain tops. On the trip back through the forest there was natural slate and jagged, edged mountains, showing you the slate from billions of years ago and at any given time you knew that some of the rocks could fall. There were actually a couple of pieces out in the middle of the road. We stopped at the side if the road so I could run my hands across the slate. There were bicyclists cycling up those huge mountains. Some had to stop and walk others were braving it out. It was a very enlightening experience and yes, I would do it again. I am 69 and my husband 68, no limits. Along the route there was a beautiful waterfall and rapids that followed us for quite a while. Nature at its finest. There were no insects that I saw the whole time. I haven’t figured out why. Pls look at the pics and video. Take this trip before you can’t. It cost us nothing but time and I could not think of anyone I would rather do this with than my husband of over 20 years.
