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.

thanks,

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
