  Moon Lake Campground

  Beautiful Lake, Clean/Modern Campground

  Moon Lake Campground is a clean and modern campground on the shores of a beautiful high mountain lake. The spots can be a little close together, but they are well developed. The bathrooms are modern for a national forest campground with running water, electricity, flushing toilets and ventilation fans. The camp host did an excellent job of daily cleaning and stocking of the campground. Just feet outside the campground is a private resort with rustic cabins and a lodge. The lodge store provides basic necessities in the event you forgot something, as well as an ice cream bar with sundaes and soda on tap. The lodge provides rentals of kayaks and small fishing boats. It even has a taco truck out front. All around, our family ranks Moon Lake near the top of our favorite camping spots.

  Nine Mile Canyon Ranch

  Rustic and scenic

  This is a nice campground to stay in if you want to explore the canyons.  The location is perfect for day trips into the canyons to search for petroglyphs and historic cabins.  The scenery is amazing.  The campsite had a real nice covered picnic table and a fire pit. There were no hookups but they say they have potable water you can use.  They also have firewood you can purchase but we brought our own.  We did not use the showers but they do have them available.  The bathrooms have flush toilets and running water and were very clean.  There are historic cabins you can rent or you can camp in your tent or RV.  We were there in April and it wasn't too busy so it was pretty quiet.  I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the area.

  Nine Mile Canyon Ranch

  A Little bit of everything

  The 9 mile Canyon Ranch has a little bit of everything. RV spots, tent camping, cabins. There are clean bathrooms and showers for $3. You can hammock in some spots. Best to call in ahead so they get you a best part with some of the trees.

  Beautiful area. No service but there is Wi-Fi at the house. The lady there was SUPER nice and answered all my questions and was very willing to help and make sure I had a good stay.

  I slept in my Bronco but my spot had a campfire and picnic table. Enjoyed my stay.

  Nine Mile Canyon Ranch

  Great Campground!

  Nine Mile Ranch is a great campground outside of Wellington, UT and a good base camp to check out Nine Mile Canyon. They have historic cabins they have used for camping cabins, RV and tent sites. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Super friendly and knowledgeable camp host. I would definitely stay again!

  Strawberry Hideout

  THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

  My family and I love camping and have been building our camping arsenal and experience. This campsite gave us a good time and also helped us realized what we needed to add to our “Need to Buy List: Camping Edition.”

  First, the Pros of the visit.

  1. Designated campsite with deck, fireplace and table! Deck was well built, practically brand new and the same with the fire pit. The fire pit is a smokeless one so the smoke would travel through a ventilation built into it.
  2. Has service! We had full bars throughout the campsite. We were even able to watch the Rookie in our tent before bed!
  3. Gas station is just 5 min down the road! Nice little gas station that’s prepared to help you with almost all your needs, including flushable toilets!
  4. Strawberry reservoir is about 15 min from the campsite and there’s plenty to do there! I won’t go in to detail but we spent majority of our day there.

  Now the Cons.

  1. The campsite is in the middle of a sketchy RV graveyard! Abandoned buildings and RVs were scattered all over the vista. It was sorta creepy but if you like that kind of thing, go for it!
  2. No shade in sight! No trees or anything to provide shade from 7:30-6ish (the sun goes behind the tent around 6). So bring a canopy or two because we forgot to bring one and were scorched! Also the tent heats up like a sauna with the sun beating on it, even with all the windows down and doors open. So if you’re planning on coming back for a relaxing afternoon nap, good luck with that!
  3. The wind will take your tent if you’re not careful! The wind gusts would be so powerful at times it would almost carry out tent away from us. We had ours on the deck and it was an ample target for the biggest tent-napper out there: the wind. Without a way to put stakes because you’re on the deck, we were exposed. Thankfully they had cinder blocks under the deck we could use but man it was surely a pain in the butt! So come prepared!
  4. Bring bug spray and sun screen! We got burnt so badly and there were ants and ant hills everywhere! I counted at least 5 different ant species crawling around the camp table.
  5. Private property signs everywhere. We wanted to explore around our campsite but due to so many private property and no trespassing signs, we never got to explore around us because we thought we would get shot.

  Overall, it was not a bad campsite! I think our experience wasn’t the best but that’s mainly due our unpreparedness and lack of experience. There’s many things to do in Fruitland area and also places where you can enjoy the peace and quiet! I hope our learning experience can benefit anyone interested in go to this campsite! Happy camping!

  Nine Mile Canyon Ranch

  Quiet, low key base to explore

  We stayed in a campground spot with grass, fire pit and a kind of splintery picnic table. We had the area to ourselves. We were next to a  stream on the other side of a fence. Deer came to visit. Cottonwood trees all around, had not yet leafed out, but I imagine nice shade in summer. 2 very clean single stall restrooms with flush toilets and lavs a short walk away. The campground could use a bit of TLC, yet we loved our stay, because so peaceful. They also have cabins and pull through camping with shelters. Very nice person checking us in.

  Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA

  Well taken care of-- New look

  Vernal Dinosoar Koa seems like it has a TON of spots crammed into a small are but all of them have green grass, picnic tables, and grills. Some sites have covered awnings some have large shade trees. What I liked about this campground were all the activity options they gave you, unlike some other KOA's I've stayed at. There was a small but functional K-9 park, a kids park, a swimming pool, a jump pad, and they had bike/3 wheeler rentals, and a mini golf coarse. They had a covered patio off of the pool building with picnic tables for use and just on the other side of the jump pad and kids playground they had a HUGE grassy field that you could go throw frisbees on or even fly a kite. They had spots for small RV, Very Large RVs, One special site that came with cable tv, and numerous cabins for rent. If your looking for something just off of the town in Vernal, So you can visit all the great dinosaur attractions, this would be the place. They did have a small store with firewood, some sundries, and tourist gifts. They also have 2 dump stations for $10 a use out front.

  Mountain View Campground — Fred Hayes State Park at Starvation

  Mountain View Camping

  We stayed at the Mountain View campground. I was glad I had a back-in site around the edge of the loop. I loved the view. The pull through sites in the middle were super close together that left little room for slide outs and entry/exit from the trailers unless you were in the end. Each site has a pavilion and fire ring. They don’t allow tents on the grass, but a handful had a tent pad so make sure you check the site listing to determine if it will allow a tent. We had water hookups and access to 20/30/50 electricity. No sewer available in the site, but they do have a dump station. The campsite had a shower building and vault toilet locations around the loop. There were even 3-4 cabins that you could rent (they looked similar to those at a KOA I have seen before). We enjoyed our stay and the temperature was great. Could use more trees. The back in drive way was 60 ft in length.
