Great spot for a day or two. The parking area has plenty or room would not recommend the last half mile of road its rough.

ATV trail access represents a significant draw for many visitors, with numerous campgrounds offering direct connections to trail systems. A reviewer noted, "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 if fishing isn't your way of recreating." Fremont Indian State Park receives consistently positive reviews for its proximity to petroglyphs and rock art sites, offering an educational component to camping trips. Noise levels vary significantly, with interstate-adjacent sites like those at Fremont Indian State Park reporting more traffic sounds, while campgrounds tucked into canyons provide quieter experiences.

Worthy of an overnight stop. Springs were busy during the day but fun.

Great spot
We stayed here in April 2026. The expectations were low, but the return was high. First of all the gift shop is way cooler than you might guess for an RV stop. The check-in service was nice and efficient. Most of the spots are level, although where we were with slightly offkilter. Nevertheless, that did not deter us. It looked like it had a nice swimming pool in area for the kids to play and, believe it or not, the barbecue is actually not to be missed. I would’ve never guessed there would be a restaurant that good at an RV park in a small town, but we truly enjoyed it. The guacamole was fresh. The chicken was perfect and understand that the ribs are even better. The only thing I had to say about the park was the bathrooms were a bit dated in the showers were as well. That said, I gave it five stars because the barbecue was that good and it kept us from having to find another restaurant.

Excellent Spot
Personally, this is one of my favorite spots and an awesome spot at that. The views are incredible and excellent for photography or for simply admiring. I stayed here for the full 14 days, experiencing both good and bad weather; I still recommend it.
Road Quality
Average. Gravel/dirt road with some potholes and ruts; an everyday vehicle could get down the road with care. It's a single-lane road, not a lot of through traffic, except campers. Roads can get soft with rain or snow, especially the potholes and ruts. Be careful and keep an eye on the weather.Site Quality
Average. Campsites appear to be level for the most part; they have fire rings, they’re a good distance away from one another, and they appear to be large enough to fit two, maybe three bus-sized RVs. Sites are mainly dirt and grass; ground can get soft with rain or snow. Be careful and keep an eye on the weather.View Quality
Excellent. Snow-capped mountains surround you, with excellent sunrises and sunsets and amazing night skies when they're clear. Plenty of birdwatching and perhaps other wildlife if you're lucky!Noise Quality
Depends. The campsites closer to the entrance will hear the highway, but it’s mostly white noise for those who do not mind. I imagine the further you go back, the less you’ll hear the highway. The occasional plane or helicopter will fly by at a low altitude. Lots of birds; you’ll mostly hear them in the mornings and evenings. Neighbors have been friendly and respectful, making little to no noise. Besides the highway, aircraft, and birds, it's a quiet spot.Internet Quality
Excellent. Full bars on LTE. Although I imagine the further you go back, away from the highway, the fewer bars you’ll get.

Great Spot and beautiful views!
Just few miles away from the interstate. Closer sites can hear some traffic. We went down a little ways and didn’t hear the road. Road would be awful if it rains- be aware!

Meadow Hot Springs
Okay Spot
This is a 50/50 spot; folks can be a problem. I recommend staying during the week or only for a few days. This is a popular spot for both locals and travelers alike, so expect folks and expect it to get crowded after work/school hours. The weekends are worse with folks messing around, being loud, shining flashlights in folks' vehicles, and partying till about 1am. Minus the occasional bad bunch and weekend folks, everyone else is generally respectful of others, kind, helpful, and just overall really outgoing.
Road Quality
Poor. The dirt roads in and around the hot springs are really bad. Massive potholes and ruts everywhere. You definitely need good clearance, a 4x4, or some mad skills. The entrance lot is tolerable compared to the rest of the roads leading to the hot springs, which are far worse. I imagine the roads are even worse when it rains; the ground can get soft. Be careful and watch the weather. The gravel road leading to the hot springs is in excellent condition; any vehicle can drive down it, but once you hit the last cattle guard into the hot springs area, slow down.Site Quality
They’re okay. There aren't really sites, more like just parking somewhere where you aren't in the way of other people. There are some obvious dirt clearings, but you have to go through some rough dirt roads to get to them. It's definitely hard to find a good level spot here. I imagine the sites are even worse when it rains; the ground can get soft. Be careful and watch the weather.View Quality
Good. Mountains to the east and plains to the west. Sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous. The night sky is okay; the town is too close for a good view of the stars. Plenty of bird watching and cattle watching.Noise Quality
Average. It's a popular spot; it does get busy, and there is traffic throughout the day. Everything usually does quiet down towards the evening and usually stays quiet into the mornings; there are just the sounds of birds in the morning. But the occasionally bad bunch can and will definitely make it noisy.Internet Quality
Average. Two to three bars on LTE.

The road is extremely Bumpy. Once you get off the main dirt road. So, anything low profile is going to drag in some of the dips, but the hot spring itself is well worth it. If you can make it with three different temperatures, three different size pools. Nice people, just enjoyable Hot Springs. And as stated, take trash with you to keep it cleaner than you found it.

Koosharem Reservoir
Good place to pull over for the night or spend a day.
Easy in and out, couple individual spots and a large area for about 4-5 good size rigs, all with four pits. we were in a 40 ft fver. Public restrooms but did not use.
Heard it was good fishing.

By I15 but noise is minimal
Elite dispersed camping, it is very convenient to the highway. But yet we parked behind a mound of gravel, and it helped block the noise and some of the view of the highway. It was very convenient from interstate 15. No rough roads. Very flat areas.
Guide to Cove
Camping opportunities near Cove, Utah range from mountainous retreats to riverside sites, with elevations between 4,000-8,000 feet affecting seasonal accessibility. The region experiences significant temperature variations, with summer highs often reaching 90°F while nights can drop below 50°F even in July.

What to do
Explore ancient rock art: The Fremont Indian State Park area contains nearly 700 Native American rock art panels accessible via several hiking trails. "There are access to the trails right from the campground and the owners are very knowledgeable about the trails that you should ride given the amount of time you are staying," notes a visitor to South Forty RV Park.
Soak in natural hot springs: Monroe's Mystic Hot Springs offers unique soaking opportunities in natural mineral waters. "Amazing soaking and star gazing, and surprisingly easy soaking. Maybe I just got lucky!" shared one camper at Mystic Hot Springs.
Fish local streams and ponds: The area's waterways offer good fishing opportunities, particularly for trout. "I've been to many hot springs in various levels of improvement or natural state, and these are a gem. Sure some upgrades and improvements could be made, but well worth the cost," reports a Mystic Hot Springs visitor.
What campers like
Spacious campsites: Many campgrounds in the area offer generous site dimensions. A visitor to Monroe Canyon RV Park notes, "The sites are all very large pull throughs, so we would not have to unhook if we did not need the F250 to roam the area. The site is wide enough to park your tow vehicle next to your rig if you were so inclined."
Mountain views: The surrounding landscape provides excellent vistas from many campsites. "Sitting outside having a BBQ watching hang-gliders over the closest mountain range is a great way to end the day," reports a Monroe Canyon RV Park camper.
Stream-side camping: Several campgrounds offer sites adjacent to creeks or rivers. "The creek runs near the sites and it's the perfect sound to lull you to sleep," comments a visitor to Adelaide Campground, adding "A lot of the sites have direct access to the creek and are in the shade all day."
What you should know
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies significantly throughout the region. "Verizon and T-Mobile service enough for hot spot and road is drivable for any rig," reports a camper at Castle Rock Campground regarding coverage at that specific location.
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds close during winter months. A Castle Rock visitor notes: "We stayed at site CA23, a dispersed site. There were plenty of water taps around the campground to fill up jugs if need be, along with a bucket and shovel at each spigot to use for your fire pit."
Reservation requirements: Many sites require advance booking during peak months. "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."
Tips for camping with families
Pack for temperature fluctuations: Mountain elevations cause significant day-to-night temperature changes. "Stayed in an old bus turned into cute little camp spot. Stayed here in the dead of winter and was very comfy and cozy. Bus had heated blankets and was thoughtfully set up," shares a Mystic Hot Springs visitor.
Consider educational opportunities: The region offers rich cultural history lessons for children. "The state park is nice for petroglyphs but that's about it with a few short hikes. One hiking trail in camp. Piute res and some nice hiking, the hot springs are all at least 45 minutes but for leaving my camper (15ft aframe) as a home base here I'm happy."
Look for open play spaces: Some campgrounds offer dedicated areas for children. "It is small but large open areas for kids and/or dogs to run and play. It's quiet and clean," notes an Adelaide Campground visitor.
Tips from RVers
Check site dimensions carefully: Some campgrounds have specific limitations for larger rigs. A visitor to Sam Stowe Campground reports: "Sam Stowe. Spot Ss01, is the first one on the left as you drive up, pull thru hook ups on the left. 1 night and would come back and stay a few nights."
Consider road conditions: Access roads to certain campgrounds may present challenges. "The campground is really nice and just a few miles off of I-70 and about 6 miles east of I-15. We made the mistake of choosing site 22 which would have been great for tents but even though it is large it is unlevel and took 4 2x6 to level the trailer."
Verify hookup availability: Utilities vary between campgrounds and sometimes seasonally. "This is great when you need to hook up to water and electric. Also had clean restrooms and clean showers for $1.25 for 4 minutes. Coin operated," says a Sam Stowe camper.
