Jordan Pines

Overview

Jordan Pines Campground is located in scenic Big Cottonwood Canyon at an elevation of 7500 feet. Salt Lake City is conveniently close. Visitors enjoy hiking, biking and fishing.

Recreation

Hiking and mountain biking are popular activities on area trails, including the Donut Falls Trail, which begins nearby. Fly-fishing is a favorite activity on Big Cottonwood Creek.

Facilities

This group campground is a perfect location for family reunions, church outings and company picnics. It offers four overnight campsites and one day-use picnic site, all of which contain picnic tables, campfire rings and grills. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. A volleyball court and horseshoe pit are available, but campers must bring their own net, ball and horseshoes. Roads and parking spurs are paved.  

Jordan Pines Campground only accommodates groups and therefore requires a reservation.

Natural Features

A forest of shady pines and aspens covers the campground, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Vivid summer wildflowers are abundant and autumn leaves put on quite a show.

We had a great time at this site for my daughter’s birthday. There are a few big pieces missing out of the tables and not a ton of shade but it was beautiful spot and had bathrooms and parking.

We had a wedding there and it was absolutely amazing! We had 2 bull moose show up for all the photos! We were very respectful and kept our distance but they were beautiful! We reserved 3 campgrounds and it was perfect

The site we had reserved was not very good. The tables are all warped with chunks broken out of them and paint peeling off. They really need to be replaced. Fortunately the host told us we could use the adjacent site with new tables, much nicer and it made the experience very nice.

Make sure you don't reserve this site on the day of a marathon. Otherwise, the site is pretty much as advertised.

Disappointing Experience — Not Worth the Price The tables are literally falling apart, with warped boards, splinters everywhere, and peeling paint. Since the tables are the primary attraction of the site, that makes the entire area look neglected and unsafe.
