      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.

      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.

      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.

      Mountain View Campground — Fred Hayes State Park at Starvation

      Nice large spaces

      There 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.

      Castle Gate RV Park

      Tranquil!

      Beautiful 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!


    Guide to Helper

    Cabin rentals near Helper, Utah offer overnight stays with mountain views and riverfront access in a historically rich coal mining region at approximately 5,800 feet elevation. The area experiences four distinct seasons, with summer daytime temperatures averaging 85-90°F and winter lows frequently dipping below freezing. Cabin options range from basic structures to full-service accommodations throughout Carbon County.

    What to do

    Explore Nine Mile Canyon petroglyphs: Nine Mile Canyon Ranch provides a convenient base for seeing ancient rock art. "A perfect gateway to visit Nine Mile Canyon. We spent countless hours hiking around this area, seeing as many petroglyphs and pictographs as we could," shares Semi H. from Nine Mile Canyon Ranch.

    Visit Helper's historic downtown: Castle Gate RV Park's location allows easy access to Helper's restored main street. "Downtown Helper is just a short walk away. Cute little area that looks like there is quite a bit of restoration/renovation underway," notes Aaron in his review. The town features mining history exhibits and local shops within walking distance from several cabin locations.

    Enjoy water recreation: Fred Hayes State Park offers water activities just minutes from cabin sites. "It's just a short drive down to the water with a beach area. The water was freezing though," explains Erik J. from Mountain View Campground. Fishing for trout, walleye, and bass is popular at nearby reservoirs.

    What campers like

    Riverside relaxation: Cabins backing to flowing water provide peaceful settings. "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!" says Jody J. reviewing Castle Gate RV Park.

    Clean facilities: Many cabin locations maintain excellent bathroom facilities. "The private restrooms are better than home! A nice big shower, toilet and sink, a chair, hooks and nicely lit," Nancy writes about her cabin stay. Bathroom cleanliness receives frequent positive mentions in reviews.

    Wildlife viewing: Cabins often provide opportunities to see local fauna. "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," reports Flo B. from Nine Mile Canyon Ranch.

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Summer cabin rentals fill quickly, requiring advance planning. "The staff were SUPER nice and answered all my questions and was very willing to help and make sure I had a good stay," explains Tate W., highlighting the importance of early contact with cabin providers.

    Seasonal considerations: Winter access to some cabins may require four-wheel drive vehicles or special preparation. Some cabin sites reduce amenities during winter months while remaining open year-round.

    Limited utilities: Many cabins operate with partial utilities or off-grid systems. Permaculture Paradise Homestead offers "private, off-grid cabin" accommodations behind a locked gate about an hour from Park City, according to Ashley F. from Permaculture Paradise: Homestead.

    Noise factors: Some cabin locations experience railroad or highway sounds. "I heard the train around 10 pm and then again in the morning. No close crossings so no whistle noise," Michael C. mentions, suggesting noise isn't usually disruptive to sleep.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several cabin locations offer play areas for children. "The campground had a playground and volleyball net," notes Rayna D. about Heritage Grove Campground, making it suitable for family stays.

    Swimming options: Pools or water features provide recreation for kids during summer. "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," shares Akasha L. from Promised Land Resort.

    Biking opportunities: Paved camping areas near cabins create safe cycling zones for children. "The camping area is all paved and the kids loved riding their bikes all day," Erik J. writes about his family's experience at Fred Hayes State Park.

    Pack for temperature swings: Mountain elevation causes significant day-to-night temperature differences, requiring layered clothing for comfort throughout 24-hour periods.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling requirements: Some cabin and RV sites need leveling equipment. "I had to use 3 yellow square leveling blocks on the left side. Hopefully they fixed this under the new ownership," advises Kenyon about their stay at Manti - La Sal KOA.

    Water pressure variations: Castle Gate RV Park offers strong water systems for both RVs and cabins. "Their water pressure is outstanding in fact they recommend a pressure regulator on the supply line," Michael C. reports, suggesting bringing regulators if staying with an RV.

    Wi-Fi quality: Internet access varies significantly between locations. "The park WiFi was beyond excellent," notes Michael C., while other cabin locations may have limited or no connectivity depending on their location relative to cell towers.
