    Uinta National Forest Hope Campground

    Great views, lots of Yellowjacket’s

    The yellowjackets were pretty annoying to deal with until after dusk and they’re right back out as soon as it’s light. My husband and I camped at an overlook spot about a mile north of this campground and it was an amazing view, little car activity but lots of yellowjackets. I’d recommend bringing a trap and wear peppermint essential oil to deter

    Chokecherry Campground — Deer Creek State Park

    Dead Deer Creek

    A nice camp. 30 $ for a tent is a bit more than usual, but they have nice showers :) Selected this so I can swim in the lake, but it is not allowed due HAB...

    Big crowded TV park

    It really depends on what you are looking for, if you to be in the city and don’t mind confined campgrounds then this is for you. Showers, laundry, pool, hot tub and store.

    Pony Express RV Resort

    Nice compact

    Like others have said…if you want space to spread out this is not the place for you.

    If you’re looking for a place that is convenient, full hook up, level concrete pads, subdivision desperate house wife’s camping addition this is the place to be!

    100.00 per night is high, in my opinion. For one adult and a cocker who doesn’t make a sound. Rare I know.

    Like many other places who advertise free wifi might as well plan on using your phone or star link or whatever you may have.

    If I planned on staying for a few months I would consider staying here. Only if they had a hefty monthly discounted rate. I think the state parks would be a better option for a one or two night stay.

    Mount Timpanogos Campground

    It’s like a little Switzerland

    Very quiet, sites are pretty level. Currently the vault toilets are closed but they have portable toilets available that appear to be cleaned every 3 days. Host Sara is very nice. Cell service Verizon and att is decent. Road up is steep but smooth. Lots of cars parked on the road near the campsite makes for difficult driving around on tight roads in our 26.5 foot RV but we were able to do it. Mountains are very beautiful up here. As always people don’t seem to understand the concept of pack it in pack it out so there is some trash but much better than most other sites. We always end up having to pick up after others because most people just don’t seem to care and figure someone else will do it for them. Keep it Better than you found it.
