Default Now that I'm here, need some camping recommendation

Yes I know many of you don't consider RVing "camping". Be that as it may, where would be some good places to go in the mountains? The campgrounds up AF canyon don't look to be RV friendly. And I have checked out a couple of state parks (East Canyon and Rockport) and have been underwhelmed. Though we may be spoiled, Texas State Parks have a reputations as some of the best in the nation.

Where would be some good places to go for a weekend relatively close to SLC, in the mountains (forested).

EDIT: RV is 12' tall and 38' long.

Looking promising ... they called our agent and want to know utility costs and get the rest of the disclosures, etc.

Good luck, FM. A 38 foot RV is just too big for most of the canyon/mountain campgrounds. Most spots have back-in parking 20-30 feet long. One possibility is Anderson Cove campground on Pineview reservoir. Not really in the mountains, but there's some pretty good pine tree cover. Great fishing too, if you have a boat. My brother in law caught a state record tiger muskie there. 31 lbs.

Utah is so awesome compared to TX, it should be sufficient to camp in your trailer in your driveway.

We always went camping up in the mountains above our homes, usually hiking in a few miles. No RVs were allowed.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
