Natural Features The remote desert canyon is forested with oak, maple, and juniper trees, which offer partial shade. Willow Creek runs alongside the site. Nearby Attractions South Willow Canyon Road is a very scenic drive in the Tooele County, in western Utah, USA. The road is mostly paved but becomes gravel at the National Forest boundary and winds through some very interesting narrows, but any vehicle should be able to make it. The road is 7.1 miles long. The last 4 miles are unpaved. It’s noted for its fantastic wildlife. Along the road there are five forest service campgrounds. Snow can usually be found on the upper part of the trail from November to the middle of June. The road is pretty steep and narrow. Although the South Willow Canyon road is paved, it is pitted with chuckholes and is not recommended for trailer use. The road ends at an elevation of 7,470ft (2.276m) above the sea level, at the beginning of the Deseret Peak Trail.

Our Take
What makes Lower Narrows Campground special
Lower Narrows Campground is about as small and simple as campgrounds get — just four sites at 6,840 feet in South Willow Canyon on the Stansbury Range. What it lacks in size it makes up for in character and access. Sitting at the lower reaches of the canyon, it serves as the first stop for hikers heading up the Stansbury Front Trail, which climbs through aspen groves and open meadows to ridgeline views stretching across the Great Basin. The intimate scale means you are virtually guaranteed solitude on weeknights, and even weekends rarely see all four sites occupied. A seasonal stream runs through the canyon, adding pleasant background sound and attracting deer and songbirds in the mornings. Late spring through early fall is the window, with June offering wildflowers and September delivering golden aspen. Facilities are bare bones — no water, no hookups — so bring everything you need. This micro-campground is tailor-made for minimalist campers, solo hikers, and couples who want a quiet mountain night close to trail access without driving deep into the backcountry. It is a hidden gem in a hidden range.
