What campers say
Sunset Campground sits about 20 minutes up Farmington Canyon and offers small, scenic sites with easy access to trails, creek-side singletrack and a nearby waterfall. Visitors commonly praise the peaceful, well-kept setting and proximity to the valley while noting the drive in is steep and can feel exposed. Sites can be fairly close together on busy nights, and a few reports mention occasional rule-breaking by off-road vehicles. Water availability appears mixed, so plan to bring your own supply. Overall it’s a compact, beautiful base for hiking, riding, and short family outings.

📖 About This Campground
Sunset Campground above Farmington/ Layton Utah on Skyline Rd is a US Forest Service campground (Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest) offering 9 primitive tent and small RV camping sites in an Aspen grove. Only 6 miles away from civilization the campground offers a quick getaway from urban living. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Vault toilets. Water spigots are available. First come first served).
Skyline is a well traveled graded dirt road popular with cyclists and off-road vehicles; use caution. The climb is quite steep and the drop offs can be scary for folks afraid of heights, plan accordingly.
The campground is very tight and steep with heavy shrubbery and trees. A full size pickup truck or van is about as big as you want to go.
