TravelerThis was my first time at an RV resort. It was our first time out in our new fifth wheel so we only stayed two nights. There is a family section and an adults only section. Three pools, pickleball courts, and fire pits. It is very clean and quiet. Highly recommended if you like RV resorts.
GuideLots of amenities.
GuideNice area once you get up to the pass and out of the burn zone. Plenty of room, good views to the north.
GuideWe ended up staying at a paid camping spot so we could have a fire! I think there are 10 paid camping spots, each have fire pit and picnic table! No water or electricity but they have vault restrooms. We saw that there was dispersed camping a little past the site, so if you don’t want a fire ring, I would suggest dispersed camping and then coming here for a bathroom if you need! The sites were very level and there were 7 other families here, 3 had big groups of people and RVs. There is a good amount of trees and the camp sites are spaced out just enough to hear people when you are trying to sleep but everyone wasn’t too loud. Seems more of a family spot than a party spot! The sites were very is off Mirror lake so there were a few fishing poles and people cooking up food. Be bear safe up here!! The only reason why it didn’t get 5 stars is due to it being paid and not free. Great site.
GuideThe sites were great, the one we ended up staying at on a Friday night was a little n even so just make sure you snag a site that is even. The road leading up to it is good, my all wheele drive made it up just fine! The road also is pretty and green, I bet it’s pretty during the fall! There was maybe two other families so not too busy but we did it on a Friday and it was HOT but there was great shade and the elevation makes nights cool down.
ScoutIt’s cheap ($33per night), has running water, bathrooms, and dumpsters. There are also 2 hiking trails that connect to this campground (lower loop). Doughnut falls is a can’t miss!
GuideSo it’s not an aesthetic campground, but it checks all of our “need” boxes. And it’s a very reasonable price!
Full hookups, pull through sites, WiFi that occasionally works. Dirty but available onsite bathhouse, showers, & laundry.
Check-in at the Philips 66 convenience store.
Best part - a huge grassy area for the dogs to run off leash + close enough to SLC and Park City.
GuideWe had a wonderful view of the city with few bugs and a visitor in the morning! Roads were tough so we didn’t get up too far but had a wonderful stay.
GuideI stayed here for one night, the higher you go, the better the views. The lower you go it is a little bit louder with people dirt biking, four wheeling, shooting guns, recreationally, etc. I was towards the top of the mountain and I did not have any issues with sound the whole night. I felt very safe camping by myself.
