Spruces Campground in Big Cottonwood offers a beautiful and well-maintained setting, with friendly hosts and ample opportunities for outdoor activities, making it a favorite among visitors. Many guests appreciate the clean campsites and the picturesque surroundings, including nearby streams and hiking trails. However, the ongoing lack of running water and functional restrooms, which has persisted for several years, has been a significant concern for many campers, affecting their overall experience.

Beautiful area and lovely listening to the creek. Only complaints were the ability to hear the highway from our campsite, slightly weird layout of the campsites/loops, unclear host availability for firewood purchase, and not being allowed to wade in the creek (understandable though given the watershed). Secluded site with an incredible view, absolutely loved it.

The campsite we had was amazing but other campsites are not very private at all. Open sites & close together. You could also hear the massive amount of traffic from the main road in the canyon. I didn't like that so much at 7, 8ish in the morning. The bathrooms could have been maintained alot better too. All in all it is a lovely campground in one of the best canyons in America.

Campground is wonderful. Maintanence needs improvement. Potholes at entrance, port-a-potties at group camping sites, and some picnic tables need sanding and painting.

Be sure to go up the canyon to the “end of the road” in Brighton, UT for an easy beautiful walk around the Silver Lake boardwalk. Be prepared to see lots of Utah wildlife at the Spruces. It was magical!

I’ve grown up camping in the spruces and now as an adult I love it even more! It’s so beautiful. Our site was well maintained and the yurt was so nice and cozy.

The lights in the restroom near our camp was burned out, making it inconvenient to see at night. The water in that restroom continually ran. During a drought that seemed unnecessary. We only saw the camp host make rounds 3 times in the week that we were there and when we asked about the concerns mentioned they said there was nothing they could do about it. The tables are in terrible condition and need some upkeep. We have camped at the spruces for over 20 years. The condition of the camp ground is really going down.
