Utah Sportsman's Vacation & RV Show

ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT

RVs are the main event, from compact trailers to big motorhomes, alongside trucks and RV accessories. The sportsman side of the show brings resorts, lodges, and hunting and fishing guides, which makes it easy to plan a summer trip while you shop for the rig to get you there.

Bring your questions. Dealers can walk you through towing, storage, and maintenance, and you can climb inside dozens of floor plans in a single afternoon.

If you're trading in, bring your title and service records, and clean out the rig before the appraisal. Planning to finance? Recent pay stubs or bank statements and proof of insurance can speed things up if you find the right rig.

Come with a short list. Decide how many people need to sleep aboard, whether you'll tow or drive, and how far off-grid you want to go. Utah's red rock parks and high mountain lakes reward a rig with good ground clearance and solid tank capacity.

ON-SITE AMENITIES

The Mountain America Expo Center is a large indoor venue with concessions, restrooms, and accessible entrances, so a February visit stays warm and dry.

Pets aren't allowed at the show, so make a plan for your dog before you go. Wear comfortable shoes. With this much floor space, you'll put in some miles.

Friday and Saturday run late, until 10 p.m. and 9 p.m., which makes an after-work visit easy. Weekday afternoons are usually the quietest time to talk with dealers.

LOCATION

The show is at the Mountain America Expo Center, 9575 South State Street, Sandy, UT 84070, just east of Interstate 15. Hours are 2 to 9 p.m. Thursday, noon to 10 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

FAQs About RVing to the Utah Sportsman's Vacation & RV Show

RVING AT THE EVENT

Mountain Shadows RV Park in Draper is about 10 minutes south of the show at the Point of the Mountain. It has 176 sites across 13 acres, with full-hookup pull-through and back-in sites for nightly, weekly, or monthly stays.

For a spot closer to downtown and the airport, the Salt Lake City KOA Holiday at 1400 West North Temple is open year-round with full-hookup sites.

Utah winters are cold, and February nights in the valley often dip below freezing. Fill your propane, protect your water lines, and watch the forecast for snow on the Wasatch Front. If you buy at the show, ask the dealer about a full walk-through and winterizing before you drive home. Then see our Salt Lake City campground guide for more options.

WHERE TO STAY

Sandy has a cluster of hotels within a few minutes of the expo center, many near the 9000 South and 10600 South exits off Interstate 15.

Got a free day? Little Cottonwood and Big Cottonwood canyons are close by for skiing or snowshoeing, and the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper is a hit with kids. Downtown Salt Lake City, with Temple Square and the state capitol, is about 20 minutes north.

HOW TO GET THERE

From Interstate 15, take Exit 295 for 9000 South (Utah 209) and head east, then follow State Street south to the expo center at 9575 South State Street.

From Salt Lake City International Airport, take Interstate 80 east to Interstate 15 south, then exit at 9000 South. The drive takes about 25 minutes without traffic.

If you'd rather skip parking, TRAX light rail's Blue Line stops at the Sandy Expo station, a short walk from the building.
