Pretty Place

I would stay here again. We enjoyed the sunrise over the lake and watching wildlife. We were able to spot many species of birds as well as deer, sheep, & prairie dogs. Only complaint was loud neighbors.

Out of the way

Posted up on a hill over looking the reservoir super picturesque. Kinda pricy for what you get. Paid 40$ for a partial hook up spot. Probably won’t be back.

Great spot!

We pulled in later in the evening with no reservation and was able to find a spot with full hook-ups for our camper. It was a nice campground, well maintained and pretty! Nice paved paths for our kiddos to right their scooters and fun water activities available to the kids for free (water bounce house etc).

Overall a great spot and really pretty!

Stayed at Mormon Flat campground. It's a little hard to find, but we did drive in at night so that was half the problem. The group site was really nice because you can set up tents wherever so it doesn't limit your tent size! Overall a great spot and really pretty!
