Stayed in spot 28 which was good and had view of lake until neighbor pulled in with a giant 5th wheel. Spot 19 is in the middle and seems to have a good view regardless of who is parked in adjacent spots, and spot 32 also seems to have a good view and the advantage of being on the outer edge so no backdoor neighbors. Park has a general store but we did not go inside. Bathrooms/showers are decent with sufficient hot water, but are not as nice as those at Wasatch Mtn.
Food aside: Had freeze-dried coconut curry chicken with extra packet of ready-to-eat Wal Mart chicken added and it was good. Also had chicken teriyaki with chicken packet added. Spiced both up with garlic powder.

Food aside: Had freeze-dried coconut curry chicken with extra Wal Mart packet of chicken added and it was good and low FQ (fart quotient). Also had chicken teriyaki with chicken packet added. Always add garlic powder, perhaps smoked paprika.
RangerSite 56 was fairly level and had decent shade and access to the showers/bathrooms with still good privacy in the trees. Bathrooms very clean. Road cyclists: excellent access to Empire Pass. Couple of good trails to walk around. Oak Hollow (tent loop) seems bit more spaced out in sites but only has water and 20A and most sites are slanted or have no shade from the late afternoon sun.
For $5 more, the Cottonwood and Mahogany loops have full or partial hookups. Also good are sites 19, 22, 24, 25, and 79.
Many sites have issues with level and/or lack of any privacy or shade.
Food aside: Freeze-dried sweet pork for dinner. Had Sprouts Hatch mac and cheese from box with jerky from hatch, Mexican cheese shreds and garlic powder. Yum. Breakfast was oatmeal with chopped nuts and some strawberries and broken-up brownie Clif bar. Was a bit bland, could have used maple syrup. Other breakfast was frozen pancake bites with maple syrup and butter, fried in pan from frozen, 30 sec per side flipped 4 times.

The camp ground itself is not bad. You have all the amenities that you could wish for when you are on the road. Including sites with full hook up and showers plus toilets that are in good condition. The camp store has food and drinks available. Very positive were the ladies at the reception. Very helpful and very sweet.
But the location is rather disappointing. Its located at the end of an old street and right in front of a dam, enclosed by some hills. You can hear the nearby highway. Not very pretty.
It feels a little cramped, the individual spots are very close to each other, so there is not much privacy. Plus, it is very expensive. I paid 78$ for a full hook up spot.
Probably better to check out the camp site Hailstone Camp Ground right up the hill, in the Jordanelle state park. It looked so much more beautiful when I passed by there the next morning.

We Spent one night while we were on our way to the west coast. Spot was nice with a big grassy area. Bathrooms were adequate and the staff was very friendly!
TravelerLoud music coming from the bar next to the campground. Hard to get any sleep for the drive.
Guide
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.
TravelerWe 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.
Ranger
We stayed in HS site 100. Absolutely beautiful view and great access to park city. Showers were clean. Only downside was the dump station near us was pretty awful smells and the site was very unlevel.
Ranger
Clean quiet camp with 30A and water, showers and flush toilets! Next to historic union pacific rail trail for hiking and biking (many goatheads so plan accordingly- tubeless?) Runs from dam to park city about 28mi. Be sure and visit the coalville ledge and it's many mud swallows.
Traveler
This site was very big & the creek surrounded on two sides. It even had 2 picnic tables. When we were here, this part of the campground was empty across from us & site beside us was empty which we loved! We got to listen to the birds. The campground kids enjoying the playground & pool were on the other side of the creek beyond a thick stand of trees.
TravelerPulled through late and found this hidden gem, electrical and water at all sites.
ScoutDid a little car camping. Wonderful site with all the amenities. Camp 3, has a little trail to the water. It’s closer too the road, but it’s lovely. The pricing is a little high at 40$ for cars and 80$ for RV’s
GuideFull hookups Trash dumpsters Decent space between rvs Pools are great! Bathrooms and showers are clean. There are some longtime RV residents, but not too many.
TravelerNice grassy area for tent camping, small river that runs through the campsite. Small shop on site along with showers, bathrooms and laundry.
GuideThis isn’t a “shiny” newest and nicest place, but it gets the job done. It is conveniently located off the highway and has a gas station accessible for even the biggest RVs. The staff is super helpful and very welcoming.
The layout of the parking/sites is unique, but works well. Nice grassy area and creek (very fast and deep - not for play) nearby.
Note that the water pressure is VERY high!! 110psi - so make sure you bring and use a regulator.
Will stay here again the next time I’m traveling through the area.
ScoutGreen and lush camping areas. Babbling Brook nearby, host were very friendly and hard working. Hot showers.
LegendWonderful tree filled RV park. Two small swimming pools. Great pull through sites. Small store for catsup and etc for bbq. Roxanne at the desk was awesome.
GuideMountain 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.
ScoutTraveling down from Canada. Camp sites are wide apart and have lots of room. Bathrooms are clean. No complaints other than the showers could use some cleaning and work on their drainage. Bring sandals!
GuideClean campground with access to water sports, and very close to Park City.
TravelerThe staff is very friendly and super helpful! Everything was clean and so easy to use! We will definitely be back

I recently stayed at KOA Provo/Springfield and while it had some positive aspects, overall, I give it a 3 out of 5 stars. The campground is conveniently located near the I-15 and a gas station, which was convenient. However, I did find the price to be a bit high for what they had to offer.
One of the main issues I had with the campground was the tightness of the sites. They were very close together, which didn't allow for much privacy or space to relax. The bathrooms were also a disappointment. They were not well-maintained and some were out of order. Additionally, I never saw any staff during my stay, which made me feel a bit uneasy.
Despite these drawbacks, I will say that the campground is still a good option for a quick overnight stay. However, I wouldn't recommend it for an extended stay. If you're just passing through and need a place to rest, it could be a decent option.
Overall, while KOA Provo/Springfield has some good qualities, it also has some drawbacks. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option and don't mind sacrificing a bit of comfort, it could work for you. But if you're looking for a more relaxing, well-maintained campground, you may want to consider other options.
GuideThis 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.
Traveler
This is a pretty decent park. There are a lot of amenities, clean facilities, and concrete pads. The sites are pretty close together so if you like your space, this probably isn’t the best place. You can’t burn firewood but you can have a propane fire pit. There is a plant nearby so it kind of smells. And there’s a decent amount of road noise since it’s in town. It also backs up to an RV sales and service place which I think is pretty convenient! It’s gated too, which is also pretty great! Overall good spot and would definitely stay again.
TravelerWe choose Jordanelle as a location to stay while visiting our daughter who lives in SLC. Not a mistake. Jordanelle is a very well-kept campground offering water and electricity. We stayed in HS62 (rig length is 50ft) and strongly recommend HS60. HS62 is solid but exposed to direct sun, great for our solar. HS60 offers excellent views and a good canopy. The downside and the four-star rating is because of the entrance staff. At best, they are barely competent at their jobs and have zero offerings when it comes to exploring opportunities offered by the park. Do your research and be prepared, and Jordanelle will offer up a wonderful experience. If you are a cyclist, opportunities abound!
