Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will move into northern Utah this weekend producing a prolonged rainfall event.

About

Bountiful Peak Campground is set in an alpine basin high in the Wasatch Mountains at an elevation of 7,500 feet, approximately 9 miles from Farmington, Utah. The campground offers 29 standard nonelectric sites, 4 double sites, one group site accommodating up to 80 people, and 5 day-use picnic areas. A mixed forest of conifer and aspen covers the area, providing partial shade and stunning autumn colors. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant throughout the season. Numerous trails are accessible from the area, offering beautiful views of Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Back. Skyline Drive passes near the campground, providing scenic driving opportunities. Fishing and in-season hunting are popular activities. The nearby Lagoon and Cherry Hill amusement parks in Farmington and Kaysville offer additional family entertainment options. Access to the campground requires navigating 8.1 miles up Farmington Canyon on a gravel, winding road. Trailers and RVs over 24 feet are not recommended due to the steep, narrow conditions. The campground operates seasonally, typically opening in late June and closing after Labor Day. Campers must bring their own drinking water as potable water is not available on site.
