Best RV Parks & Resorts near Altamont, UT

418 Reviews

Several RV parks near Altamont, Utah provide accommodations for motorhomes and travel trailers. Lakeside RV Park features full hookup sites with water, sewer, and electric connections, operating year-round with spacious pull-through spots for larger vehicles. "Sites were good with the grading of gravel pull through's and back ins with grassy areas with a picnic table that's kept in great shape," according to one visitor to the region. Knotty Pine RV Resort offers 98 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electric options, open from April through October with big-rig friendly access. Vernal RV Resort provides 57 sites with full hookups and accommodates larger RVs, while Fossil Valley RV Park features pull-through sites with 50-amp service.

Road conditions throughout the region vary seasonally, with some parks requiring navigation along gravel forest service roads. Dump stations are available at most developed campgrounds, though travelers staying at parks without sewer hookups should plan accordingly. Cell service ranges from excellent in valley locations to spotty or nonexistent in more remote mountain settings. Most RV parks welcome pets but require leashes. One review noted: "Long gravel FS roads to get here" when describing access to more remote camping areas. Propane is not available at most campgrounds, so visitors should fill tanks in nearby towns before arrival. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and holiday weekends when many parks reach capacity.

    Mountain View Campground — Fred Hayes State Park at Starvation

    Mountain View Camping

    We stayed at the Mountain View campground. I was glad I had a back-in site around the edge of the loop. I loved the view. The pull through sites in the middle were super close together that left little room for slide outs and entry/exit from the trailers unless you were in the end. Each site has a pavilion and fire ring. They don’t allow tents on the grass, but a handful had a tent pad so make sure you check the site listing to determine if it will allow a tent. We had water hookups and access to 20/30/50 electricity. No sewer available in the site, but they do have a dump station. The campsite had a shower building and vault toilet locations around the loop. There were even 3-4 cabins that you could rent (they looked similar to those at a KOA I have seen before). We enjoyed our stay and the temperature was great. Could use more trees. The back in drive way was 60 ft in length.

    Washington Lake Campground

    A very popular, family friendly, beautiful campground.

    We stayed for 7 nights (the limit) in August of 2023. It's all paved, asphalt road and concrete pad for picnic table. Very beautiful setting with the large lake and mountains surrounding. Fishing-yes! Hand powered boating, hiking trails and lots of other lakes to explore. 

    There no water available but you can fill your RV, Trailer or whatever at the entrance to the Lost Creek CG which is about 3 miles east on Hwy 150. No Dump station, nearest being in Kamas.

    Seems to be a popular place for local (SLC) families to gather. Family friendly so lots of kids. Quiet time 10PM to 6AM.

    Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA

    Well taken care of-- New look

    Vernal Dinosoar Koa seems like it has a TON of spots crammed into a small are but all of them have green grass, picnic tables, and grills. Some sites have covered awnings some have large shade trees. What I liked about this campground were all the activity options they gave you, unlike some other KOA's I've stayed at. There was a small but functional K-9 park, a kids park, a swimming pool, a jump pad, and they had bike/3 wheeler rentals, and a mini golf coarse. They had a covered patio off of the pool building with picnic tables for use and just on the other side of the jump pad and kids playground they had a HUGE grassy field that you could go throw frisbees on or even fly a kite. They had spots for small RV, Very Large RVs, One special site that came with cable tv, and numerous cabins for rent. If your looking for something just off of the town in Vernal, So you can visit all the great dinosaur attractions, this would be the place. They did have a small store with firewood, some sundries, and tourist gifts. They also have 2 dump stations for $10 a use out front.

    Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA

    Close to area atrractions

       This campground is only a few blocks from downtown Vernal, but out of town enough for a rural feel. Some highway noise, but quiets down by nightfall. This campground had a good feel to it IMO. Not super large, but almost all the sites were pull through. I requested a spot by the bathroom/shower building & we got a patio site. Very nice site with a propane grill provided. 

       There are 3 bathroom/showers in the campground. One in the office building, one by the pool & one by the tent section. Bathrooms were clean. I used the laundry room without issues. 

       They had a couple of tipis, a woody tent (don't know what that is). 15 tent sites & cabins. The RV sites were basic KOA.- in a row & kind of close. We had no issues with WIFI. Staff was courteous& they had a lot of area information. I especially liked the day trips that were numbered. We camped at Vernal/ Dinosaurland KOA Holiday in a Travel Trailer.

    Taylors Fork ATV Campground

    Also known as the Duchesne Tunnel primitive CG

    Located just off Mirror Lake Highway is this nice primitive campground with plenty of spots scattered among the trees! If you're looking for a nice quiet place to pitch your tent then I would recommend looking for another campsite. This area had a ton of large RV's and trailers that were running there generators the entire time I was there. There is also a lot of motor vehicle traffic moving around the campsites so it's more akin to a motor park and not a campground. So this place is perfect if you want to bring your toy haulers up and just cruise around and look at the scenery. All you need to stay here is a Mirror Lake Hwy recreation pass that costs $6 for 3 days and $12 for the week!

    Nine Mile Canyon Ranch

    Quiet, low key base to explore

    We stayed in a campground spot with grass, fire pit and a kind of splintery picnic table. We had the area to ourselves. We were next to a  stream on the other side of a fence. Deer came to visit. Cottonwood trees all around, had not yet leafed out, but I imagine nice shade in summer. 2 very clean single stall restrooms with flush toilets and lavs a short walk away. The campground could use a bit of TLC, yet we loved our stay, because so peaceful. They also have cabins and pull through camping with shelters. Very nice person checking us in.

    Vernal RV Resort

    Off the beaten path

    This was a great place for us to put a group together.  The sites could accommodate trailers over 40ft with ease.  We had easy access to some of the OHV trails in the area but had to drive to some of the main ones back near Vernal.  The clubhouse was nice and clean, and the sites were great.  We had one of the premium sites that was right along the river, and it was a gorgeous view.  The sites were deep and wide and we had no problem backing into the site.  It fit our trailer, truck, and SxS vehicles.  There isn't much shade at all since the RV resort is new and still growing trees.

    The biggest complaint that I had about the sites was the taste of the water.  We had to buy bottled water because we couldn't stand the taste of the tap water even though it went through a filter.

Guide to Altamont

Altamont, Utah sits at an elevation of approximately 6,300 feet with a semi-arid climate characterized by hot summers and cold winters. Located in Duchesne County, the area surrounds Starvation Reservoir, creating opportunities for water recreation alongside traditional camping. Local RV parks accommodate various camping styles with seasonal considerations affecting accessibility from April through October.

What to do

Fishing at Starvation Reservoir: Several campgrounds provide easy access to the reservoir where anglers can catch trout, walleye, and bass. At Rabbit Gulch Campground, "You have the ability to camp super close to the lake and the pictures you can take are amazing."

Dinosaur National Monument visits: Camp near historical paleontological sites with convenient access to fossil exhibits. Outlaw Trail RV Park offers "a great location near the reservoir and trailheads" and is "a 6 minute drive to the Quarry Visitor Center of Dinosaur National Monument."

Off-highway vehicle trails: The area features extensive trail systems for ATVs and dirt bikes. One camper at Vernal RV Resort noted they "had easy access to some of the OHV trails in the area but had to drive to some of the main ones back near Vernal."

What campers like

Riverside camping settings: Many campgrounds offer waterside settings with river sounds creating a peaceful backdrop. At Knotty Pine RV Resort, "This is a beautiful site with great people and friendly staff. The river is hard to get to but pleasant to listen to."

Clean, well-maintained facilities: Campers consistently mention the upkeep of bathrooms and common areas. One visitor to Knotty Pine RV Resort remarked, "Showers are clean and well kept, the pool and hot tub are great."

Shaded sites: Mature trees provide relief during summer months. A guest at Fossil Valley RV Park appreciated that "This RV Park has very nice big shade trees and lots of grass. If you get a space towards the back of the Park the road noise mentioned by others isn't an issue."

What you should know

Water quality varies: Some campgrounds have issues with water taste. A camper at Vernal RV Resort reported, "The biggest complaint that I had about the sites was the taste of the water. We had to buy bottled water because we couldn't stand the taste of the tap water even though it went through a filter."

Limited tree coverage at newer parks: Recently developed RV parks have minimal shade. As one camper noted about Vernal RV Resort, "There isn't much shade at all since the RV resort is new and still growing trees."

Shower facilities may require coins: Several campgrounds charge for showers. At Outlaw Trail RV Park, "showers are coin operated (though supposedly just $0.25 to start it and the 2nd $0.25 gets you ten minutes, which isn't bad)."

WiFi limitations: Internet access is often restricted. Outlaw Trail RV Park "WiFi is free, but each site is throttled to 5 Mbps (which is fine for basic streaming, but not HD or 4K)."
