Driving directionsFrom I-15 north, take exit 325 to State Street. Proceed east on State Street to 100 East. Turn left on 100 East to Farmington Canyon. Continue 9 miles up steep, narrow, dirt-surfaced canyon road to the campground.
The access road is steep, narrow, and dirt-surfaced, with switchbacks and no guardrails. It is challenging to navigate and not recommended for large vehicles, trailers, or RVs over 24 feet. "If you are okay driving with edge-of-the-cliff heights and no guard rail, you'll be fine."

Best Time to Camp at Bountiful Peak Campground

Summer transforms this mountain retreat into a haven of crisp, clear days where temperatures dance between a refreshing 27°F at dawn and a comfortable 70°F by afternoon. The high elevation ensures cool nights perfect for campfire stories and stargazing. As autumn approaches, prepare for nature's grand finale before winter's heavy snows close the mountain passes, keeping this alpine treasure locked away until spring's return.
