| "The Best in Tent Camping: Utah" is a tent camper's dream. From over 400 campgrounds statewide, the author has culled the 50 best places to pitch a tent and steer clear of the biggest crowds and instead explore those quieter, special campgrounds that only the locals seem to know about.

National parks, state parks, a desert reserve, and even an island host some of the fifty featured campgrounds. |
