The best camper van rentals near Salt Lake City, UT

Start your journey at Temple Square, the most visited attraction in Utah. This 10-acre complex hosts the majestic Salt Lake Temple, a stunning reminder of the city's rich religious history and the spiritual center for the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, one doesn't need to be religious to appreciate the architectural grandeur of the temple and the serenity of the surrounding gardens.

Right in the heart of downtown, you'll find yourself in the midst of a bustling city, where the smell of local eateries fills the air and sounds of street musicians add a lively rhythm to the city vibes. Visit the City and County Building which serves as the city’s town hall and offers a bird-eye view of the city from its tower.

Another must-visit spot is the Utah State Capitol, an impressive neoclassical building that provides a panoramic view of the city and its surrounding mountains. The elegant marble interior, the grand rotunda, and the historical exhibits make it a worthwhile stop.

For those who are art enthusiasts, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts boasts a diverse collection ranging from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary works. Or immerse yourself in a world of science and space at the Clark Planetarium.

Nature lovers shouldn't miss out on Red Butte Garden, a botanical garden, and arboretum, home to several themed gardens and walking paths. And the nearby Bonneville Shoreline Trail offers hiking and biking trails with views of the city and Great Salt Lake.

Drive your camper van to the Great Salt Lake, the largest saltwater lake in the western hemisphere. The lake is perfect for kayaking, sailing, or simply enjoying the splendid view. Visit Antelope Island State Park, located within the lake itself, to see bison, antelope, and over 250 species of birds in a truly wild setting.

End your day at Big Cottonwood Canyon, where you can relax by the rushing streams, hike through the unspoiled wilderness, or simply enjoy the breathtaking sunset views. The canyon also serves as the gateway to two of Utah's most popular ski resorts: Brighton and Solitude, for those visiting in winter.

No camper van trip to Salt Lake City would be complete without exploring its culinary scene. The city's food landscape is as diverse as its attractions, featuring everything from farm-to-table restaurants to bustling food trucks.
