Both cabins were constructed in the 1930s serving as forest ranger and fire crew dwellings for many years. The cabins overlook a wide expanse of sagebrush valleys with timbered slopes and ridgelines. The grounds that cabins are located is also an active administrative site. Visitors can expect to see Forest Service personnel using the grounds adjacent to the cabins.

The road to get here can be interesting if you’ve never been. I wasn’t expecting a dirt road right next to the river. You don’t need any special vehicle though and as soon as you get to the resort, it is GORGEOUS. They have a couple playgrounds (one is better than the other) and lots of open grass area. The swimming pond was a great place for my kids to play. I randomly tried this resort and it will definitely be one I go to again.
Guide
Pull through and back in sites available. The back in sites are right on the edge of the hill that leads down to the water. Water and electricity. There’s a place right outside the park to dump your tanks.
Scout
Yes this is my own spot but my family and used it for 2 years before offering it to the public. We’ve made tons of upgrades this year and have loved going out there every time.
Traveler
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!
ScoutMy 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.
Now the Cons.
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!
ScoutGreat camp site with plenty of things to do in the area! Daniel and Nate were great hosts and the spot was easy to find and placed in a surprisingly convenient location! Was a vibe FORSURE, 10/10!

This RV park was such a great stop along our road trip. Our kids enjoyed their time at the playground and splash pad while I knocked out some laundry in their beautiful facility. Bathroom and showers were immaculate and such a nice bonus. Beautiful backdrop of the mountains. I highly recommend this place!!! Bonus: 10% discount for Dyrt members on top of already reasonable price.
GuideStayed here for an overnight stay. What a gem! Well maintained and clean, pristine bathrooms, large sites with plenty of room between sites. Definitely will stay here when in the area. Only con was road and train noise.
GuideCastle Gate RV Park is a newly built RV park, with cabins and tent sites available as well! The splash pad is perfect for kiddos! The Book Cliffs make for a beautiful back drop for photos at any angle! Plus this campground is WALKING distance from the adorable town of Helper, UT. Museums, restaurants, shops, art galleries! There are hiking trails galore near by, and OHV trails too! You can take off straight from your campsite!

RangerFantastic stay - the staff was amazing, warm, and friendly; the views were beautiful, and the layout felt spacious. Highly recommend this as a small town park - walking distance to a cute downtown - and day driving distance from San Rafael Swell and SLC!
GuideGreat individual bathrooms, big spots, nice camp hosts.

Pleasant Creek Campground is a nice campground with clean facilities. This is a privately owned campground and each site is well manicured.
The sites are close together so you don't get a whole lot of privacy. The staff were steady busy leveling off the gravel in each site and mowing the lawns. This place is great for a stop over....not my style of camping, but nonetheless it's a pretty campground.
GuideThe 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.
GuideIMPORTANT INFO: Please read. NEW UPDATE as of April 14, 2022 To contact them call:(435) 462-2010 WEB SITE: https://www.pleasantcreek.camp/ NOTE: some of the other links did not work. We stayed there summer of 2021 under the old owner. We have just made reservations to stay there again in May 2022. It was a great stay. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because some of the sites aren't level and are pretty close to each other. I had to use 3 yellow square leveling blocks on the left side. Hopefully they fixed this under the new ownership. Swimming pool was great. Did not use the showers or bathrooms so no comment on them. Staff was (and is now--I just made reservations for May 2022) very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a place in the Ephraim- Mt Pleasant- Fairview area with full hook-ups...........THIS IS IT! Highly recommended. 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. No little black flies when we were there but during some weeks can be an annoying problem. We are excited to stay there again.
GuideJust an overnight stop for us but this newer RV park is really nice. The campsites are all gravel but they were level. Restrooms/showers were some of the best I've seen in an RV park. The town of Helper is nearby and there were some really interesting storefronts on main street. The price was reasonable (with a discount) but it was still creeping up on $50 a night. If there was a negative it was during check-in I mentioned that I was a Dyrt Pro member and the young lady behind the counter told me we don't discount for that. Instead she gave me their "first responder" discount.
Guide
Had very clean restrooms and showers. Lots of amenities like a playground and volleyball net. Campgrounds face the main area where cars drive so they’re not very private, but that wasn’t a problem for us.
GuideBeautiful RV Park!! Friendly service! Escorted to our Site# 201 which backed up to the Price River. Site was super level for us. Great space between neighbors on our side of the park. There is a picnic table. However, we took our chairs down to the river bank each evening. So tranquil and relaxing! Laundry room is nice and all machines were in working order. We did not use the restrooms but took a peek in and they are all clean and look new. Beautiful mountain scenery as well. AT&T, T-Mobile Cell Service were excellent. No issues with their WiFI. So many cable channels! If there was one Con, it was that the dog park/run area was muddy. Looks like they are watering the area to maybe get more grass to grow. However, there are plenty of other grassy spots with Dog Waste Stations and bags to walk your dog. Street traffic noise can be heard. We do have a white noise machine and it did not interrupt our sleep. Enjoyed our relaxing stay here! Highly recommend!
GuideThe area is well groomed. Huge accessible showers. Big spaces for Class a type RV. 10 sites available. Cabins available. Good water pressure good Wi-Fi good Verizon
GuideThis site is nice. It's not over the top in any way. It's right by the main road to get here and also by a train track. There is a river flowing by it with a small and short trail but that's about it. The wifi is great and the water pressure is great. The cable is also pretty good. The site we were in is narrow. Literally the size of our travel trailer but you get a decent area for hanging out under the awning and picnic table. There's enough to space to fit our truck between our RV and picnic table (for reference).
There is a splash area for the kids to beat the heat and a place to play horseshoe.
RangerWe 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.
GuideThere are two RV areas; one is Beach area, the other is Mountain View area. We stayed in the Mountain View area. The spaces are large, level, and easy to get into. I think they all have electricity and water. They are paved, as are the roadways. There are picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Some tables have shade over them. They have planted trees that are starting to get large. There is a dump station that’s easy to access. There is nice grass planted at some sites; however, due to the drought, they have sadly let the grass die. This is very sad but with the water so low in the reservoirs it’s hard to justify watering the grass. You can reserve spaces but we were able to get a nice space as a walk-up. My husband used the restrooms and said they were fine. They also have showers.
GuideWe made last minute reservations on-line late in the day on a long trip. Although we arrived late a gentleman assisted us to find a spot and then later in the evening another person called to check up on us. Greatly appreciated this extra care. The park is new and well maintained. A river flows through the back of the park, with a walking trail and a small place to swim. There is a nice children’s play area with a water pad. Lots of places to walk a dog. Large pull through sites. Water and electric were perfect even in 100 degree weather. Individual bathrooms with a shower in each. The bathrooms were private and immaculately maintained. Wonderful laundry area. Big rig friendly with ample space and turning radius. Easy in and out with no issues.
Only issue was the length of the site. We choose a 70 foot site and our 60 ft rig barely fit. So FYI, when choosing a site, go big.
ScoutThe staff there are super helpful and friendly. The campground is well maintained and clean with lot of trees for shade. The camp spots are plenty large with all the amenities anyone would need regardless of RV size. The community in Mt. Pleasant and nearby Fairview is like from an old movie; old yet gorgeous.
LegendThis place is new and they are still adding sites. Between high cliffs on the Price River. I was worried about the train noise…TOTALLY UNFOUNDED worries. I heard the train around 10 pm and then again in the morning. No close crossings so no whistle noise. Their water pressure is outstanding in fact they recommend a pressure regulator on the supply line. The park WiFi was beyond excellent. The staff were also beyond excellent. We got our propane tank filled then escorted to our site. As I said it’s on the Price River. The staff have made a mini park at waters edge. All in all a terrific park. Definitely recommend Castle Gate RV Park 
RangerWe chose this area as a central location to Moab, Provo and SLC! Nice scenic drives to all of those places from camp and did not feel too far out. Campground was clean and well kept. Staff is very nice and helpful. It will be beautiful in a few years with the landscaping investment they have made. Plenty of individual showers. I recommend the ones at office building, they are bigger. Laundry facilities great. Huge plus is dish washing sink with hot water. It is always nice to not have to wash dishes in camper. Dog park, playground and splash pad. My only caution is that it is between Highway and railroad tracks so if you are noise sensitive be aware. We didn’t notice any major noise and slept very comfortably with the nice flowing River behind us. Helper is cute town to explore.
