LegendOne 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.
LegendThis is a great place to pitch a tent or come up and stay for the day. The only bad part about this camp site is all the highway noise. It is close to the Provo river and there is lots of shade so that is nice. Great place to have a camp fire and cook some S'mores. The bike path is close so bring your long board or bike and go for a ride. This is withing walking distance from Bridal Vail Falls so that is a great day hike and see the falls. Also great fly fishing in the Provo river so do yourself a favor and bring your fishing gear.
ScoutQuite area, lot of room. I stayed on site 58 (tent only). Enough room for 2 medium tents. Next/above stream. Tucked in very back. Long ways to walk from car. Water spout next to car area. Will be sharing parking with 2 other sites. 2 lakes nearby. Fire pit with grill gate. Shaded area. Full sun from 10am-4pm.
GuideWe 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.
TravelerOverall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups.
All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.
A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

ScoutMy family of five enjoyed this campground. We got a site with access to the river which my kids really enjoyed. There was a fun giant "sliding rock" in the area to climb on. Lots of trees for hammocks. Downside is it's right next to a busy highway and picnic areas. Although the campsite has quiet hours, the picnic area across the street stayed loud well past quiet hours. The road noise was a lot more than I expected.. especially at night. Definitely bring ear plugs or plan to stay only a nite or two. We planned on staying three nights, but were so exhausted by lack of sleep we left a day early.
GuideWe stopped off here for one night on our way to Bryce Canyon. We arrived late, but someone had stayed around to welcome us and give us a goody bag with nutter butters, coozies, and fresh plums, which was really nice!
They pack them in tight here! Each pitch is no wider than 15’, which actually makes it pretty challenging to back in. There isn’t really any outside space, unless you want to squeeze some chairs next to your neighbor’s sewer hookup.
That being said, the facilities are great and the folks running the place are really friendly and helpful. Showers are free, hot, and clean. There’s a well-stocked store, laundry room, propane fill-up, etc.
GuideI got a site right by the creek. Set up my hammock and listen to the running water.
Only negative is the site is off the main canyon road and there is some traffic noise during the day.
Echo Island RV Resort offers glamping accommodations set between mountains and water just outside Coalville, Utah. The elevation at approximately 5,600 feet provides a cooler mountain climate during summer months. Winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing with significant snowfall, affecting seasonal availability at some glamping sites. Depending on the season, reservations should be made 2-3 months in advance for premium glamping options.
Fishing opportunities: At Whitney Reservoir, located 40 miles east of Coalville, anglers catch tiger and rainbow trout from shore. "I just returned from a 3 night stay at Whitney Reservoir and I think this may be my new favorite spot. Peaceful, beautiful...honestly words don't describe," notes Kimberly G. in a recent review of Whitney Reservoir.
Winter snowshoeing: Spruces Campground in Big Cottonwood Canyon transforms into a winter recreation destination. "Wonderful winter wonder land you can snowshoe into in the winter and camp at! You can also stay here during the summer just be prepared to book a couple months in advance," advises Shilah M. about Spruces Campground.
River activities: Explore the river systems near glamping sites for water recreation options. "We loved this campsite very much. It had a cozy gas powered fireplace. It got down to about 30 degrees but we were actually too hot. Beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Woke up to deer outside our yurt," shares Alyssa D. about East Canyon's yurt glamping.
Proximity to reservoirs: Campers appreciate how Twin Coves at Rockport State Park offers lakeside access. "Our kids had a blast playing on the sandy beach area. We camped on the riverside loop and it was okay. There were not many trees and sites were close to each other but it was fine," notes Preston G. about Twin Coves at Rockport State Park.
River views: Camping spots along riverbanks provide natural white noise and wildlife viewing. "Beautiful setting on two small rivers with shade. Full hookups, spacious sites. Nice pool and hot tub. Clear view to south for satellite TV," says Paul Y. about Echo Island RV Resort.
Mountain backdrop: The surrounding mountains create natural shade and scenic views from many glamping locations. "This is one of our favorite campgrounds! It is beautiful and covered in trees. There are flush toilets and water spigots. We've used one of the group sites and a double site, and they are very roomy," reports Jill B. about Redman Campground.
Limited availability: Reservations fill quickly during peak season. "Reserved a few hours before arriving on a Sunday in June and there were plenty of spots. Camp host was super nice when we arrived. Definitely a family friendly place, but if that isn't your jam and you just need a place to overnight this place is a good bet," advises Mike A.
Weather variability: Elevation affects weather conditions. "We were drawn to going to Rockport State Park because of how close it is to SLC(only about 40 minutes). The gate guards at the entrance were super nice and helpful, and guided us to the closest tent-campsite to the water," shares Sean H. at Rockport State Park.
Pet restrictions: Some campgrounds prohibit pets entirely. "We had planned to camp here but dogs are not allowed. This campground looked like an awesome spot. Location is right off the hwy close to Solitude and trails. Old growth trees surround the spacious campsites," warns Natalie B. about Redman Campground.
Check swimming options: Not all water access points permit swimming. "The campground was clean with good amenities including your own picnic tables, BBQ sites, and it was well maintained. The views were spectacular and loved the opportunities to get out on the water," writes Angie G.
Consider mosquito protection: Insect activity varies by location and season. "The area and scenery were gorgeous! The hosts were lovely and helpful. The water was cool and there were tons of people there with paddle boards, canoos, tents, and dogs. The only downside was that this year there were an obscene amount of mosquitoes," warns Ash S. about Granite Flat Campground.
Look for shade: Many glamping sites in Coalville lack natural shade. "I liked this campground for its views and recreational opportunities. The campsites were nice with good amenities, including your own picnic tables, BBQ sites, and it was well maintained," notes Angie G.
Road conditions: Access roads to some glamping sites require careful navigation. "We loved our time at this beautiful park so much we added an extra day to our trip. The customer service was excellent - there was a friendly family vibe. Everything was very clean. The river is right across the street as well as a nice little walking path," shares Amy H. about River's Edge.
Site selection: Choose sites based on privacy needs and size requirements. "Very convenient to great recreation areas. The staff is fantastic and super helpful," recommends John G. about camping near Coalville.
Hook-up availability: Full hookup sites fill fastest during peak season. "All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit," notes James J.
