Tanner Flats Campground up Little Cottonwood and Squaw Peak Campground up Provo Canyon are pretty nice spots. Am Fork Canyon has quite a few camping opportunities although I can't think of any names.

As far as making reservations for a site? Do I just pay when I get there? What if a few other couples want to come with us? Do we pay by the car? Sorry... the only campouts I've been on where scout camps and up at my parents old farmhouse they used to own in Cache Valley.
check out reserveamerica.com. You can reserve a spot for Tanners Flat up Little Cottonwood. Usually you pay for the site and the site allows a max # of people and cars. It's usually 10-12 people and 2 cars, but each campground/site is different.

You have lots of great choices, bYuPride.

One you may want to consider is Tinney Flat up Santaquin Canyon. Go during midweek in the summer if you can swing it. Beautiful little campground. Nice and quiet.

Sorry for the late reply.

I've always just paid when I got there rather than make a reservation. I can only think of one time that there were no sites available. I don't hink it's much of a destination for those in Salt Lake and Utah Counties because it's so close, which is why it's usually easy to get a spot. It wouldn't hurt to call and get a reservation. I don know that you have to pay the $3 fee to get into the canyon, but you pay it right there at the station as you enter the canyon

The campground is Little Mill. It's about 1 or 2 miles past the cave. Here's the number:877-444-6777

I looked it up online and see that it doesn't open until 5/15.

Enjoy.
