If you want to stay in, or even just visit, Big or Little Cottonwood Canyon, leave your dog home, as that is the watershed for the city, no animals allowed in those canyons.

There are few campgrounds in the Salt Lake Valley itself beyond a few concrete RV parks, like the KOA. If you just seek a place to sleep, tour the valley, and do the trade show downtown, KOA would work.

If you seek a more "woodsy, mountainous" kind of experience, there are more than enough camgrounds to go around, but they will not be in the Salt Lake Valley itself except Antelope Island State Park, on the Great Salt Lake, but its a bit north of the city itself.

If you have a chance to go into one of the canyons, go to the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon, about 17 miles. You won't be dissapointed.

If you have a question or seek something in particular, lemme know. Happy to help if I can.

You will find it to be about 90 degrees and too hot at night in the valley, around 65 or 70. Head for the hills and be in the low 80s and then 50s at night. Probably not gonna see any rain either.

Have fun!

John
