RV camping near Eureka, Utah provides access to several options across Utah County and Juab County at elevations between 4,500-5,000 feet. The region experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and cold winters with occasional snow. Most campgrounds in the area operate year-round but require water regulators due to variable water pressure conditions throughout the region.
What to do
Explore mountain trails: Campers staying at Manti - La Sal KOA can easily access the Arapeen trail system. "We were able to ride our side by side from this location right onto the Arapeen trail. The main office will give you a simple map on how to get there and they also sell the trail maps for $10.50," reports one visitor.
Visit local attractions: The small towns surrounding Eureka offer unique experiences. "We love exploring the area and Skyline Drive. Beautiful country. Just 8 miles from the amazing little Fairview museum where we learned about the Mormon pioneers who settled here," writes a camper at Manti - La Sal KOA.
Enjoy water recreation: Utah Lake is accessible from several campgrounds. "This place is very cute for established camping. It has lots of trees and a nice little walking trail," notes a guest at Lakeside RV Campground. The park offers easy access to Utah Lake for boating and fishing opportunities.
What campers like
Well-maintained facilities: Campers at Rollin' Home RV Park frequently mention the cleanliness. "We absolutely thought this park was well maintained, super clean and easy check in!" writes one reviewer. Another camper noted, "It had nice large sites, very clean. This is a new campground so the bathrooms weren't done yet, but the hook ups and sites are level and have clean picnic tables and green grass at every site."
Scenic surroundings: The mountain views attract many visitors. One camper at Rollin' Home RV Park shared, "Beautiful views if you pick your spot wisely. (So office isn't out your back window instead of the mountains)." The park also features "a walking path around a field" for guests to enjoy the scenery.
Pet-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds accommodate pets with designated areas. At Lakeside RV Campground, "There are 2 small dog parks one for large and one for small dogs." Rollin' Home RV Park offers a "Walking path for dogs was a great bonus," according to one reviewer.
What you should know
Water pressure variations: High water pressure is common at several campgrounds. At Jones High Country RV Park, campers should be prepared for basic amenities but potentially inconsistent services. "The facility looks very old. My wife went to take a shower and came back in just under a minute. She told me that there was no hot water running. I went to the front desk and asked why there was no hot water. She told me that if someone is doing laundry, we have to wait until they are done with laundry," reported one visitor.
Check-in procedures: Many parks offer after-hours check-in options. "The camp host is amazing and we arrived after hours and she responded to our phone call quickly and got us set up," noted a Rollin' Home RV Park guest.
Wifi connectivity: Internet quality varies significantly between locations. At Jones High Country RV Park, "Wifi is not strong and we couldn't grab it with our extender." Rollin' Home RV Park reportedly has "WIFI spotty. Bounced in/out a bit."
Tips for camping with families
Pool availability: Families should check seasonal pool operations. At Springville / Provo KOA Holiday, "The place had friendly staff and was clean. Had some fun things for kids like a pool and a bowling alley." However, pools typically close during colder months.
Limited playground options: Some campgrounds lack children's amenities. One reviewer noted that Rollin' Home RV Park has "No pool or playground if you need to entertain kids."
Noise considerations: Traffic and transportation noise affects several campgrounds. At Springville/Provo KOA, campers experience "Road noise, train noise, small spaces," according to reviews. One camper rated the "Noise level is a 5. Near the hwy but not next to."
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: RV campers should confirm site size before arrival. At Canyon View RV Park, "Challenging back-in for our 30' ft travel trailer. Very cramped spot. Fortunately, we arrived before neighbors on both side did. Neighbor on the right side was kind enough to put his awning in making our morning departure easier."
GPS navigation challenges: Navigation systems sometimes provide incorrect directions. At Rollin' Home RV Park, one RVer warned: "Watch your GPS! Our Garmin RV890 had us coming in from the South end of Four Mile rd.... only it completely missed the turn ONTO Four Mile (it's just past the refinery). The road has no street sign, no rv park sign etc & said we were still 2m to the turn."
Turning radius for large rigs: Larger RVs should be aware of tight turns. "The pullthroughs by the office, the road to get to them has a tight right turn & is narrow. It sets you up nicely to pull out the gate in the morning, but might be a problem for a bigger rig if you don't realize it in time. We're only 34' & it was a tight turn for us."
