Camping & swimming; good spots?
Greetings. This is my first post. I located a thread similar to this one, but pertaining to a different part of the state, in which some of you gave another poster some very good advice. Maybe you can help me too....
I live in the Salt Lake valley, and I'm looking for some lakeside camping spots. I don't mind too much if it's primitive, or developed camping, but what I'm hoping for is a spot that doesn't get -too- crowded during weekdays, where swimming is allowed. I won't be there on weekends. I wouldn't like to drive more than 2-2.5 hours, though obviously the shorter the drive the better....
My wife and I have just been feeling this incredible *itch* to get away, you know. Get out of the city. And we're from Utah, but we don't really know where to go. When I was a kid, the camping trips were always organized by my Dad, I didn't pay too much attention, and plus we lived far away from where I live now, so it wouldn't necessarily translate.
Anyway, long story short... Any great lake camping in Utah, not too crowded, within a few hours of Salt Lake City?
thanks,
-Nick
