Top tips for your Campervan trip to Salt Lake City

Utah’s landscape can be extreme, so be prepared for scorching hot summers and snow in the winter. Spring and autumn are the best times to hire a campervan in Salt Lake City; there are cheaper and fewer crowds. If you plan to do any hiking, be ready for some altitude changes as Salt Lake City sits at over 4,000 feet, and many surrounding trails climb even higher.

• 

  Driving
  The roads are wide and well maintained, and there is some excellent scenery once you get outside the city. Winters can be tricky as snowstorms can hit hard, especially in the mountain areas. Check the weather before heading out, especially in places like Big Cottonwood Canyon or Park City.
• 

  Family Friendly-Activities
  Head to Antelope Island State Park, just north of the city, and you’ll find beaches and hiking trails, and you may even see a few bison roaming about. Loveland Living Planet Aquarium always goes well with kids as it's home to sharks, penguins, and a rainforest exhibition.
• 

  The Outdoors
  Just outside of Salt Lake City is Big Cottonwood Canyon, a popular place for those who rent a motorhome in Salt Lake City. You can enjoy being outside, taking in the scenery, and snapping pictures. About an hour west, Bonneville Slat Flats makes you feel like you are on another planet.

Best Campervan routes from Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City to Moab
This 375km route takes you straight into Red Rock Country. Start by heading southeast, stopping at the town of Price to pick up some supplies and visit the Utah State Prehistoric Museum. Then, continue into Moab, where you will find the Arches and Canyonlands National Parks with towering rock formations and amazing landscapes. You could spend weeks exploring around here and never get to see everything, but campervan hire in Salt Lake City will allow you to see more of it than most people get to see.

Salt Lake City to Yellowstone National Park
While you are in a campervan, it's worth driving the 520km to one of the most famous national parks in the world, Yellowstone. On the way, head through Bear Lake, where you can stop for one of its famous milkshakes and carry on into Idaho before reaching Yellowstone. See Old Faithful, go wildlife spotting and park your campervan in one of the best places you could ever wish to camp.

Salt Lake City to Zion National Park
Take the I-15 south of South Lake City and head towards Utah’s most visited national park. Stop at Cedar City along the way and then carry on toward Zion, where towering red cliffs, slot canyons and scenic drives await you. Hike the Narrows, take in Angel’s Landing (if you dare) or just park up and enjoy the view.

Sites of interest and excursions in Salt Lake City

Timpanogos Cave National Monument
About 45 minutes south of Salt Lake City, these caves are perfect for those who love adventure. It's full of tunnels, eerie rock formations and underground chambers that look like an alien planet. It's quite a walk up there, but it's worth it as you get a guided tour through the caves to see crystal structures and glowing stalactites. It's also lovely and cool inside to escape the summer heat.

Red Butt Garden
Red Butte Garden is the place to go if you want great views without a long drive, as it's right on the city's edge. It combines botanical gardens and hiking trails, perfect for stretching your legs before or after a long drive. The best time to visit is in Autumn when the gardens explode with colour, and in the summer, they sometimes have outdoor concerts.

Silver Lake
Silver Lake is just 40 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City and is as peaceful as it gets. There is an easy boardwalk trail that circles the lake, which is nice for everyone to walk around, regardless of their ability. It's also a great place to kayak and paddleboard in the summer. It's the kind of place that makes you forget how close you are to the city.
