Cold Springs is a popular option in the area that provides incredible camping along its entire route. Spanning from Silver Meadows to Soapstone Basin, this trail is usually part of a loop for exploring the refreshing Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The trail is very easy, with only a few potholes to avoid, so just about any vehicle can handle it. There are many campsites to choose from. Along the eastern half of the trail, many of the sites are tucked into the trees, offering a little bit of privacy from the main road, while on the western side, campsites are typically perched on small hills, providing great views of the lush forest and meadows below. Many sites can fit multiple large campers, while a few are considered small and personal. None of the campsites have any amenities aside from man-made fire rings.
