RV Resort!
This was a great place to stay! Had 3 different pools/hot tubs and the pools are heated so they arent freezing. Nice laundry and bathrooms as well. We had a back in site at the end of the row and there was a large grass area and fire pit that was great! Had a large dog park and pickle ball courts too!
Sabrina F.GuideMountain Valley RV Resort
Cleanest campground
Mountain valley is very conveniently located in a Heber which is great for visiting Park City, Midway and Soldier Hollow. All the amenities included showers, cable, wifi, pickleball, pool and hot tubs. The park is nice and flat that kids are riding scooters and rollerblading throughout. Nice adult section. Also they show outdoor movies on the weekend and usually have a food truck.

One of our favorite places
This is such a pretty and accommodating place to stay. They had a small pond for kids to fish in, two swimming pools and two hot tubs, very clean and modern facilities, well maintained campsites with fire pit, a cute little shop with firewood, treats, and other necessities and they have dvds and sports equipment you can check out. Such a fun place!

Knotty Pine RV Resort
Beautiful
This a a beautiful site with great people and friendly staff. The river is hard to get to but pleasant to listen to. The Velvet Ash was blooming so it looked like snow in July.
Showers are clean and well kept, the pool and hot tub are great. We were allowed fires. People were there with dogs in leashes. Full hook up, electricity and water. Not sure about laundry though.
Heather O.GuideMountain Valley RV Resort
Great Central Spot to explore area
Found this spot last minute. It's fancy. Way fancier than we usually pick, but the price was right. It was full when we arrived on a Saturday. But thinned out later in the week I really enjoyed the split between the folks with kids and those without. 3 pools and hot tubs...2 for the 21+ only crowd. There are tons of clean bathrooms woth showers and 3 clubhouses. 2 dog parks...one was HUGE!! Dogs loved it. Views are amazing. It was honestly kind if refreshing to stay in a resort.

Incredible Experience!
This RV park is by far the nicest park I’ve ever stayed at. I’ve had the unique experience of living at this RV park for the last 6 months and my opinion of this place has only gotten better over time. The facilities are very new and always clean, nice big private restrooms with showers, two laundry facilities, two hot tubs and two pools, basketball and other gaming courts, BBQs and fire pits, a small gym and pool hall, and very attentive helpful staff. Huge RV park with a separate 21+ area. If you’re in the area you should definitely come support this place, they really do care about their customers!
Chris G.GuideMountain Valley RV Resort
Clean and Cozy
We only stayed at Mountain View for one night while passing through, but we enjoyed our stay. The office staff was super friendly. Mark came out on a cart to usher us to our site. He was helpful and provided wonderful advice for the rest of our trip in Utah (Moab). The sites are a bit close, but the campground was quiet and clean.
Our girls enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The laundry facilities were nice and even had a designated machine for pet laundry. The restrooms and showers were private and clean. The water pressure was high and temp was hot. There was a beautiful fire pit near the pool along with pickle ball and basketball courts.
This facility is near the highway but the road noise wasn’t a problem for us.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Echo Island RV Resort
Great Place
We had a great time overnight here. The pools were super refreshing. There were two, one seemed to naturally be for adults, the other for kids. Don't know if that happens often, but it was nice. Two hot tubs too! After that there was a movie playing across from our camping spot. It wasn't loud or obtrusive so we couldn't hear it in the camper, but I went out and it was fun to go watch. I also got a cheeseburger plate from the food truck place. It was AMAZING. The fries were also insanely good. Everyone was quiet after 10, although some people really light up their rigs and some lights were on all night.
This place IS crowded on the weekends. Lots of families who seemed to be having a great time. We did have an audience while I was backing the camper in, which was kinda sucky. If you're looking for a quiet, secluded get away, this isn't it. But a fun family experience it is.
Clean, nice showers and bathrooms. Lots of rules here, example: only go 5 mph in the park, or a person in a golf cart might give you the business.

Mountain Valley RV Resort, Utah
One of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.
They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.
Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.

Awesome staff!
Stayed in one of the cabins over the winter. Beautiful and cozy cabin with an absolutely stunning view of Mount Timpanagos. Great access to the nice town of Heber City and just close enough to Salt Lake City, Provo and Park City without feeling stuck in a metropolis. The cabin and setting were perfect but what really made our stay amazing was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and always willing to help. They always had a friendly smile and gave a wave. Can’t wait to swing by again

The cabins were really nice, not too expensive, the staff was super nice, but the bathrooms were farther away than I would have liked and no way to drive to them.
Karla B.TravelerMountain Valley RV Resort
Friendly and immaculate
This spacious RV park has two pools (one limited to adults only), two dog parks (one large enough for big dogs to run and fetch), two sets of pickle ball courts and is spacious and level and nice/ oh, my.
The staff are friendly and lead you to your RV site (and actually collected and filled and delivered our propane tanks). They have a few cabins but are mostly laid out for newer RVs. They ask the age and type when making reservations. Good Sam discounts apply. This is a very nice “the only 5 star “ RV Park in Utah.
Heather K.RangerHailstone - Upper Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park
A beautiful place
Jordanelle has quickly become an annual tradition with the family. All siblings, nieces, and nephews, grandparents come for a couple of days and we have a great time. We use tents and RV's, but there are also cabins to rent as well! Depending on what spot you get, there may or may not be a lot of shade. Come prepared with coverings and it is great. The water is wonderful, and all of the kids and dogs love it as well! I recommend!

Lovely spot!
We are new to RBing but very much enjoyed this spot and could see spending time here- unfortunately we could only stay one night. Spacious lots- gravel and grass, several pools although only 2 currently open but heated! Lovely stream on property where you can fish and low mountains on several sides. Has RV sites and cabins- there are Teepees on site as well that I assume you can rent Trees we’re changing as well. Staff In office were very friendly. Would love to come back

Springville / Provo KOA Holiday
Nicely run, just too cramped
This KOA is very nicely run. It's clean and we'll kept. The backdrop of mountains and colors are gorgeous. It's just very cramped. Your door opens right to the neighbors hookups. There are strips of grass between but they hold half of a picnic table.
This is a good spot to hook up and top off for a night or two, or if you're planning on staying inside, or if you're going to head up into the mountains for hiking and leave the rig behind.
Can't comment on the cabins but they seem nice and the amenities areas are very nice as well. I just prefer a little space when I'm camping.

OWWW
Beautiful park, awesome animals. TERRIBLE FLIES. We had no idea there was little flies that could bite like a bee sting, but there was. And we couldn’t get away from them. This was a trip we left phones at home and just wanted to get away, but we flew over it on the way in. There’s so many trails here and we so many bison it was awesome to see, a mini Yellowstone with sub par “campgrounds” which made us feel like we were still in the city due to them having concrete and artificial sun shades which was necessary.

Close the to the valley for a quick little getaway! Campgrounds are pretty close to one another but somewhat secluded depending on the spot you get. Parking next to your campground is a plus for me! They have restrooms which is nice! Decent place for a quick trip!

Decent water destination!
We went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.
Angie G.RangerHailstone - Upper Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park
Beautiful, convenient
Stayed here for a weekend getaway and loved it. Great place close to SLC and park city and for the most part it was surprisingly quiet,tho that could be a fluke as it got busier during the day. Feel like we just lucked out Especially in renting water toys as sounds like they are usually booked out if not reserved well in advance. Nice campsites that appear to stay well maintained.

Tanners Flat
A nice getaway
With covid last year, I just needed to get away. I went in June, and it was lovely. It was chilly for sure, but it was so nice. It was quiet, tucked away from anyone. Didn't really see anyone for the three days we are there. Our site was next to the river, which really helped drown out all other sounds! I have already booked a site for this year! The campground is beautiful, and we had a lot of aspen trees at our site. Beautiful!

Mountain Valley RV Resort
Crowded
We went up here to visit family and this place was packed, nice place to feel like you’re really at a resort with the pools, our little cousins made plenty of friends at the playground and pool. But the RVs were really close together and it’s hard to get any privacy. However off is CLEAN, we felt comfortable but we like our privacy when we camp and want to leave the city. However a great stop for a weekend getaway or someone passing through the back way to Moab. Either way it’s almost like staying in your own hotel.
Alan B.LegendTanners Flat
Beautiful area but very very busy!
This is a fairly large campground for such a narrow canyon. There are 31 single sites, 3 doubles, and 3 group campsites. The single sites are $23 a night and be sure to make your reservation early as you are unlikely to get a walk in. The campsites are pretty close together so if you prefer solitude consider backpacking to White or Red Pine Lake or Lake Blanche in the nearby Big Cottonwood Canyon north of here.
Nearby attractions include Lisa Falls, Cecret Lake and numerous summertime activities at Snowbird and Alta ski resorts. During the summer at Snowbird there are summer slides kind of like dry bobsleds and the tram runs all the way up to Hidden Peak which has a wonderful without the effort. A tiny bit further up the canyon right across from the Peruvian Lodge is a favorite evening free solo called the South Ridge of Mt. Superior for the more adventurous. It is a fairly tame 5.5-5.6 hike/scramble/climb with more scrambling than climbing. It is a fun outing but try to be back before sundown or hike with a partner as we got stalked by a few cougars coming down the last time we did it!
