Granite Flat (Utah)

I thought it was covered with a pavilion but two rainstorms later let us know it is not covered but oh so cooling!

Absolutely wonderful! We loved being in the beauty of the trees. It was quite and peaceful. There was some space in between campsites which allowed for some privacy and more quiet. We loved playing at Tibble Fork Reservoir. The only downside was the insane amount of mosquitos! Do NOT forget bug spray! And use it heavily! My toddler got 10 mosquito bites in the first 15 minutes we were there before putting on bug spray! Other than that, we absolutely loved our time at Granite Flat.

We really liked our site. We had one large and one small tent and had plenty of room. Driveway, table, fire pit were all terrific. The bathrooms were pretty stinky, but that's pit toilets for you. We could not smell them from our site.
Biggest issue we had was a group of people rented the 3 sites right across from us and their children were literally screaming all day, running into the street, and causing all kinds of issues. All 3 sites were tent only sites, but 2 of them brought RV's. They put their dogs on leashes and left them in the campsite when they went away. The dogs barked constantly while they were gone. It made for a very unpleasant experience. The site next to us ran their generator until 11pm. I spoke with the camp host who was very aware of both situations. She said she would do rounds at 9pm and remind people that quiet hours begin at 10pm and that included generators. She did not do that. We ended up leaving a day early, because it was kind of a rainy day and we didn't want to put up with the noise. I'm not against dogs or kids. We had another neighbor that had kids and they were great. We saw lots of dogs that were with their owners and really well behaved. We just got stuck with selfish people who refused to obey any rules and be considerate of their neighbors and a camp host that wouldn't enforce those rules.
We were here in late July and Tibble Fork Reservoir was so low and so packed it was ridiculous. We drove up to Silver Lake Flat -- the drive was pretty tough and the next day after it rained, they closed the road. Silver Lake Flat was also extremely low, but not nearly as packed as Tibble Fork.

Hard to beat a campground so close to town, and with campsites secluded from one another.

Close to the bathrooms (but they were not very clean). Easy to find. Level places for 2-3 tents. Not much shade during the day, some early morning and late evening. Mosquitos were terrible.

Leaving only 4 stars because our site (#1) had no natural shade. I prefer to be tucked in the woods & it felt a little bit like a parking lot. The army loop was beautiful though & we searched out preferable sites for next time. We will definitely return! We chose to take the 3 mile (bumpy) dirt road to Silver Lake reservoir after we hiked to it in the morning & found it was a lot less crowded than Tibble Fork. Both very beautiful, but Silver Lake was serene. Camp host was very friendly. We had a great time.
