swimming and camping near Great Salt Lake
We are planning a cross country trip next spring and would like to stop and see and go into the Great Salt Lake. We will be going in late May early June. My dilemma is this: I hear that time of year ...

There is a state camp site at Saltair right on the lake, but there are no trees and it can be windy, buggy, and have a definite odor. We have stayed at every major campground in the area. Lagoon is in Farmington and their sites are decent. Cherry Hill, also Farmington, is a nice place, but the campground is almost all grass and very tight when busy. The SLC KOA is good and we stay there for zoo/city trips. That part of town is not scenic, but the KOA has always been safe, clean, and comfortable. There is a free shuttle to the LDS Temple in central Salt Lake and can be ridden by anyone. The train stop is just down the street. Pony Express is nice as well. It has less mature trees and is very close to the 215 belt loop. It can be pretty loud depending on the site. KOA is our favorite for general stays and Lagoon for going to the amusement park.
As for shower and go, the Great Salt Lake Marina has bathrooms and showers. There is lake access.
