Great stay at the group site during Questival. Bathroom close and fire pit was large enough to get 15+ people around.

Group campsite

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!

Overall a great spot and really pretty! 

Beautiful and full of wildlife. We were there for only 8 hours but we saw a mink, two owls, and loads of deer pretty windy but quite and nice 

Amazing!

We go there 3 or 4 times a year , and love the full rv hook ups. And camp host great guy. Hoping to be able to do same thing in next few years.  Great view of lake and  can walk down to swimming area . Great fishing,  especially if you know where to go.

Great place to stay 

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). 

Great spot! 

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.



Out of the way

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, &amp;
prairie dogs. Only complaint was loud neighbors.
