Quail Creek State Park Campground

General: Smallish campground but expansion is in progress. 

Site Quality: Some are back-in, some are pull-through. All are paved. Some have electricity and water and some do not have hookups. All have a tent pad, covered picnic table, and BBQ. Not all are level. Many sites have a view of the lake, but some are close to the road. Our site (14) had a nice lake view and was a pull-through but not level. In order to find the most level spot, we were far away from the electric hookup so chose not to use it. IMO, the best sites are 18, 20, and 22. They looked level and had the best views. 

Bath/shower house: The bathroom was very basic (two stalls, one sink). I had planned to take a shower here and read that there was one so imagine my disappointment when I discovered there was only an outdoor shower. Since it was in the 40s, I chose not to use it! 

Activities/Amenities: About the only one I could take advantage of was a path that appears to (hopefully) be in progress. Along some sections, there was a lot of debris. In season, you can rent kayaks, SUPS, OHVs, and there are tours. There is a large day-use pavilion that can be rented. Alas, on a cold, windy day at the end of March, none of these were available. Despite that, the campground was almost entirely full (but quiet). 

My rating is based solely on our off-season stay and the fact that there was no indoor shower. While we would have liked to take advantage of lake activities, it would have made for a much noisier campground. Also, Utah state parks are becoming increasingly expensive – for some, I think it is worth it but not for this one (especially in the off-season).

Beautiful scenery and clean facilities. Ridiculous prices and camp hosts everywhere. Something very strange going on here. Almost everyone was a camp host. Huge rv’s with 4 to 5 cars…all camp hosts. They charged us $40 for our campervan AND an extra $20 for our tow vehicle. More like RV resort pricing. Now, if you have a monster truck with a 5th wheel, you get to pay $40. Will never stay again. Too many other campgrounds and RV parks in the area with the same scenery and amenities that are much more affordable.

This is our favorite campground in the area. The sites are large and spaced fairly far apart from each other so you have a decent amount of privacy. You're right on the shore of the reservoir with beautiful views. The only downside is its an older campground with no electricity or any kind of hookups on most of the sites. That does make it cheaper, though, and it has newer bathrooms with hot showers that are clean and in good repair.
