car camping in utah?
I believe that's the correct terminology... don't want to hike, just want to drive into the woods and set up camp. anyone have any good places for an overnight camp with some bathroom facilities nearby... not too important, but would be nice to have. I'm trying to get my wife into camping and I'm close to getting her to commit to an overnighter. I just have to find a place that's reasonably close and organized.. We live near the mouth of Big Cottonwood canyon, but would be willing to go through American Fork canyon or wherever.... Thanks!

There is a campground just east of Timpanogos Cave that is a nice place for an overnighter. I go there with my kids quite a bit.

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.
