Granite Flat (Utah)

Always a great place with no issues.

This site is fabulous as it's secluded. HOWEVER, you do hear the 4 wheelers across the creek during the day - they are VERY active. At night it was quiet. Saw a couple deer as well.

Im torn on leaving this review... This camp spot is great is you know what you are signing up for. It’s a giant spot with tons of parking, bathrooms, tables and a fire pit.

Me and 3 other families drove up AF canyon, paid the entrance fee to find a spot, eat tinfoil dinners and visit. It was extremely busy so all the spots were taken. We drove as far as we could go until we hit a gate that’s made us turn around. In turning around we saw a camp site in the distance, we walked over and saw another family sitting there cleaning up their meal. We asked if they were done and they told us it was ours to use. We started a fire while the kids threw a football and played tag. An hour in to it the camp manager rolled up and said “hope you have your check books”. I was a little confused but was also okay with paying if needed… until she told us it was $385. I stood there dumbfounded.. I asked if we could pack up and leave and she told us she would write us a ticket if we refused to pay. There were no signs on the lot that said anything about a cost. None of us wanted a ticket so we paid it… that was the most expensive picnic I’ve ever had. As I mentioned earlier, I’d be happy to pay to use the spot but we would never have used the spot if we had known the cost in advance.

Easy access to a trailhead, restrooms, and water spigots. Private spot up stairs above the road. Bugs were intense - use bug spray.

Granite Flats was great. Our site was perfect and had plenty of room. It was quiet and secluded. We didn’t have a tent but if we did, it would be hard to find a site that would fit more than one.
