About this campground
Lake Mountains is a small mountain range with canyons, rocky outcrops and pinyon-junipers that overlooks Utah Lake with views of the Wasatch Mountains spanning for miles. Located only thirty minutes from Saratoga Springs, UT, this accessible area offers opportunities for mountain biking, hiking, petroglyph viewing, OHV riding, and site seeing. The area includes the Lake Mountains Target Shooting Closure, 3.5 thousand acres of BLM and SITLA lands closed to target shooting for public safety and protection of cultural resources. Outside of this shooting closure, the rest of the Lake Mountains is open to target shooting and a public shooting range, developed by Utah County, is located on Soldier Pass Road.
