There is something special about spending the night under the stars. But, it is even more unforgettable as you gently sway in your hammock. Two state parks in Utah — East Canyon State Park and Red Fleet State Park — offer unique hammock campsites to take your camping experience up a level. Whether you love hammock camping in Utah or you simply want to try it, you need to check these campsites out for yourself!
Over the years, hammocks have become popular ways to relax outdoors and for some outdoor lovers, they have become camping essentials.
To experience hammock camping, Utah State Parks has created hammock campsites in two of its state parks: East Canyon State Park and Red Fleet State Park. These campsites are perfect for families, friends, boy scout troops, and more.
Big Rock Campground in East Canyon State Park near Morgan is where you will find one of these hammock campsites. Here, you'll find a large metal structure where you can hang up to 10 hammocks at once.
At Red Fleet State Park, located north of Vernal, the Red Fleet Campground also features this unique hammock camping structure. But, what sets this campground apart is free hammock rentals are available.
No matter which state park or campground you choose, spend the night in a hammock with unobstructed night sky views. These hammock campsites provide a summer experience you will not forget.
