The Best Camping Near Kamas, Utah

It was a short visit but we were able to get some

rest and it was really convenient!

Loved this campsite!

This is a small secluded campground that's as far from the Hwy as you'll find in this part of the Uintas! The [campground](https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/uwcnf/recarea/?recid=9462) is a couple of miles down the road from the Pine Valley Group Sites and passage can be pretty rough especially after a storm. This place has ample shade at each of the 10 camping sites and as the name implies is a stone's throw away from the Lower Provo River. There is plenty of flow this far down the Provo due to the feed in from all the tributaries and is less likely to be dry than campgrounds further up in the drainage. While we were there there was a little rock pool that was made in the river which made it really easy to soak in after hiking. Due to the distance and maintenance of the road on the way to the campground it is a little bit cheaper than most of the other Hwy CG's. Each night of camping costs $18 and is first come first served. You will also need a [Mirror Lake Hwy Recreation Pass](https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/uwcnf/passes-permits/recreation/?cid=STELPRDB5052873) which is $6 for 3 days and $12 for the week. If you have an America the Beautiful Interagency Pass, that will cover the recreation fee but not the camping fee

Gorgeous area far from the road and right next to the Lower Provo

We reserved site#2 for tent camping. There is not place to put a tent on that site that isn't on rocks. Also, we were swarmed by mosquitos the second we got out of the car. In the 2 minutes we were trying to figure out where to put a tent, we got bitten at least a dozen times. Site#2 wouldn't fit an RV either- terrible site. There are other huge sites and some really tiny sites. This is not a good campsite to pick a site without having been there. The photos do not tell the whole story. We drove back to Kamas to get cell coverage, called Recreation.gov and explained the issue with the site and they refunded our entire amount. There is no camp host in that campground to help. The bathrooms were ok at best.
