    Love's RV Hookup-Fillmore UT 835

    Parking Lot Hook Up Site

    This is in the back of the Loves Travel Center. It has 2 super nice dog parks that are fenced in.

    It is loud since it’s in a gas station parking lot. Back in site only. All cement pads no sitting areas or places to be outside. Kind of weird cause people can just walk through and use the dog park around your RV.

    People park in the RV spots. Not a secured location. Stopped here to sleep on our drive home. Left before dark.

    No RV park showers or laundry facilities. Pay extra for the Truck stop showers (did not use)

    Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

    Great Weekend Getaway

    Awesome first camp of the year. Booked as soon as the state parks opened back up. Place really gave that “middle of nowhere feel”, lake and surrounding area were beautiful. Campsites were simple and bathrooms were nice. Only issue we had was we accidentally booked a site without electric. Could’ve been more clear on website, but also likely a rookie mistake being our first camp in Utah

    Wagons West RV Campground

    Dated but inexpensive

    No concrete pads, just gravel with grass and picnic tables between. The landscaping looks a little overgrown. The fencing around the small dog park isn’t secure.

    Office and laundry facilities are closed on Sundays. Bathrooms are small but clean with one toilet stall and two shower stalls each.

    Full hookups and pull through spaces. Wi-Fi is available but we didn’t test it.

    It’s a very quiet place. Fillmore has a Best Western with a golf course, a few gas stations and a Carls Jr.

    Castle Rock Campground — Fremont Indian State Park

    Great location, quiet, semi private

    The site we camped had a private walk to the little creek, fire ring and picnic table. Well built bathrooms and a garbage dump available for use. $5 for all you can carry in your arms in fire wood… felt private without anyone parked on either side but later people came and the noise went up a little, but overall cute camp. Got one of the first come first serve sites, payment in cash only $20 for the night (established site, no water, no electric, no sewer) Pets allowed-leashed.

    Adelaide Campground

    A perfect campground!

    This campground is perfectly tucked away in the hills near Kanosh UT. About 15 mins down a back road from the freeway (I-15). It is small but large open areas for kids and/or dogs to run and play. It’s quiet and clean. There are two bathrooms within a short walk from every site. The creek runs near the sites and it’s the perfect sound to lull you to sleep. You can reserve a site ahead of time on the website or walk in and pay at the site as long as there is no reservations. Very simple. There is NO cell service so if you are coming from a long distance be sure to make sure there are availability’s before you drive into the site. If you’re ever taking that route through Utah and need a place to crash I would recommend this to anyone!

    Sunglow Campground

    Pleasantly surprised

    We happened upon this campground and luckily there was one spot left - site 1. We caught a beautiful sunset against the red cliffs as we set up camp. Our tent was close to a little stream that was really pleasant to listen to as we fell asleep. The flush toilets were very clean and well maintained. And we had a camp cat show up! Never had a feral cat join us for a cook out before. We loved this site and would definitely recommend it.

    Mystic Hot Springs

    Comfortable with Amenities

    Really love the vibe of this place. There is plenty of space for tent camping although they offer bus stays if you prefer. Reservations are required in advance. There are bathrooms with showers and toilets all running water.

    Only complaints. There are some cats that meow, loudly. All night and the garbage man comes at 5 am Wednesday morning and it's quite noisy. All in all a good stay.

    Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

    Nice facilities, well-maintained

    Spent a night here. Nice facilities, with covered picnic tables at each RV spot, water, and most with electric. Nearby dump station. Some grass and green areas for dogs. Adequate shower facilities. Pretty scenery, and several miles away from the interstate so very quiet. There was an algae bloom that made lake hazardous, so we kept dogs away from the water.

    Doctor Creek

    Hidden in the aspens near Fish Lake

    Very pretty and quiet in the fall. There were only a few people camped here and most of the aspen trees of Pando grove were turning a beautiful yellow. The campground is very close to the lake in which there is a boat ramp and places to have a picnic. The nearby shore trail also gives an easy leisurely hiking option is fishing isn't your way of recreating. There's also an official Utah Geotour Geocache very close by which offers these unique county patches for completing a county! The camping fee is $15 a night but can be reduced by half if you have an America the Beautiful Pass. Another thing of note here is that the camping limit is 10 days and not the usual 14
