Overview

Hype:

Tanners Flat Campground is a very nice campground up Little Cottonwood Canyon near Sandy, UT. Little Cottonwood Creek runs right next to the campground, which could be dangerous for little children. But the creeks does a great job of cooling the area during the hot summer months. Tanners Flat Campground has lots of trees, running water, picnic tables, grills, and campfire rings.

We camped here with the Kirkhams. Some of the kids took bikes and push cars. Kylie got going pretty fast on her car and crashed in the dirt.
