Advantages
Salt Lake City has an abundance of natural beauty. You can literally set up camp for your wedding anywhere—be it a lake, a mountain, or a park—just make sure you have the right permit.
Thanks to their growing popularity, camping weddings are easier than ever to plan. Many venues offer all-in-one packages that are both affordable and practical.
Spring, summer, and early fall in Salt Lake City offer pleasant weather, perfect for outdoor celebrations.
Disadvantages
Most campsites are remote, making them difficult to reach for older guests or those with mobility issues.
Being close to nature means sharing space with insects and possibly wildlife. This is something to plan for, especially during the summer.
Depending on the campground, you may lack access to electricity, kitchens, or restrooms. You’ll probably need to sort out a few extras to make it all come together.
A wedding day is more memorable when you have the right venue from the start. Whether you're interested in glamping experiences or something more rustic, Salt Lake City won't disappoint.
Lakeside Campsites – For the Adventurous Couple. Exchange your vows with the lake as your backdrop than spend a fantastic evening dining and dancing under the stars. Whether you want a casual picnic-style celebration or outdoor activities, we have lakeside spots that can easily match your vibe.
Mountain Retreats – Gorgeous Views. If you want incredible photos for your wedding, book your dream camping venue in the mountains. With scenic landscapes all around, every shot will be epic.
Estates and Mansions – Glamorous Weddings. Choose your glamping wedding venue on Giggster, but be mindful of the season. A winter date might sound magical for indoor celebrations, but camping outside might be a little uncomfortable.
Parks and Gardens – In the Heart of the City. Parks in Salt Lake City usually have plenty of room for setting up tents, dance floors, and fun activities. Being in or near the city means easy access for guests and nearby amenities like hotels and restaurants.
Private Houses with Backyards – Everything You Need. Speaking of comfortable camping? The perfect home with a spacious backyard is waiting for you on Giggster. During the day, dance under the blue sky and soak in the sun, and retreat in the cozy indoor space if the weather changes on you.
Why not make your wedding a fun-filled celebration that feels like a family reunion? Campgrounds are the perfect spot to get married, surrounded by close friends and the people you love most. But to make sure everything runs smoothly, a little extra planning goes a long way.
Have a Plan B – Outdoor weddings are beautiful, but unpredictable. If the weather turns, you’ll be glad you thought ahead. Look for venues that have a backup indoor space, or at least some covered areas, so your guests don’t end up hiding under picnic tables with their plates of cake.
Ensure Food Safety – Outdoor weddings bring the fresh air and sunshine, but also the heat, the occasional bug, and uninvited visitors, possibly wildlife. Keep your food safe and your guests happy by working with professional caterers who know how to handle outdoor setups.
Where you Sleep Matters - It's a camping wedding, and obviously sleeping bags, tents, and a mosquito or two are part of the charm. Expect to have guests who don't share the same excitement about sleeping under the open sky. Look for venues with nearby hotels or rentals for the non-adventurous guests.
Consider the Time of Year – The best time for a camping wedding is when the weather cooperates and bugs aren’t a bother. In Salt Lake City, that would be late spring and early fall.
Camping weddings are already budget-friendly, but you can save even more with these clever tips and ideas.
Limit your guest list.
The easiest way to save money? Keeping your guest list small. A small party doesn't mean less fun—it means more quality time with the people who matter most. Plus, with fewer guests, you’ll save significantly on food, drinks, tents, and favors. Celebrate closely, and make memories that last without stretching your budget.
Simplify the menu.
No need to go all fancy with your wedding menu; a camping wedding calls for much less. Think BBQ classics, fresh salads, or easy finger foods—delicious, cheap, and excellent choices for al-fresco celebrations.
Go light on decor.
Let Mother Nature do most of the work, creating a beautiful backdrop for your big day. Solar-powered string lights and a DIY floral arch can be a nice personal touch, enough to create a warm and inviting space without overdoing it.
Bring your camping wedding vision to life with one of Giggster's gorgeous venues in Salt Lake City and beyond. We are dedicated to helping you find a venue that fits the bill just right—nothing less, nothing more—just the venue that you've been dreaming of.
