The Mammoth Guard station is located at 8,600 feet in elevation. There are two cabins on the grounds. The Mammoth Cabin was built on site while the Lake Cabin was moved to the site from its original location in the 1980s. 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. Travel Trailers and RVs are not permitted at this facility. If others are seeking to be close to your group during your reservation they should look at the nearby campgrounds at Gooseberry Group Campground and Gooseberry Reservoir.
Gooseberry Reservoir is located approximately one and a half miles to the north of the cabins. Fishing is available from the shore, however, the only boating allowed on the reservoir is non-motorized. The reservoir also has several RV sites which can accommodate larger RVs in addition to pit toilets. Gooseberry Campground is approximately 3/4 mile to the south and has several campsites for tents and small to medium RVs, drinking water, and pit toilets are available. A fee is required at both of these sites. Within 10 miles of the cabins, there are several other lakes and reservoirs. Please check fishing and boating laws for the reservoirs. Access to the Arapeen OHV trail system is available within a few miles of the cabins.
The cabins are situated in a spruce, fir and aspen forest setting with many mature trees on the facility grounds. You can view wildlife from the front porch of either cabin in the open meadows in the immediate area, including deer, elk, badger, eagles, hawks and more. The Mammoth Cabin receives the most shaded sunlight, while the Lake Cabin receives more direct sunlight.
Located in the Fairview City Museum there is a life size replica of a Columbian Mammoth that was found approximately 10 miles southeast of the cabins. The museum also offers exhibits with artifacts and history from the native people of the area as well as a history of the later settlers. There is access to the 350+ mile Arapeen trail system to the south as well as the Forest roads to the north.

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!
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.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We'd like to welcome your host Christopher to our platform. This private, off-grid cabin sits behind a locked gate. 1 hour to Park City Utah. Check them out and leave them some love.
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
ScoutGreat Campground with individual shower cabins and bathrooms. Clean and the office staff was very friendly. They also have a great little shop with anything you might have forgotten. The town its self is full of cool history and feels like you took a trip back in time.
GuideThis camp ground doesn’t have all of the amenities of a city campground but it is in the top 10 of our favorites. It has water and a Septic Dump bathrooms and a shower is available for 3$ park fees were 20$ for us. Rustic cabins and themed rooms are available.
LegendAdorable new campground in the castle country area of Helper, UT. The campground was meticulously developed with the RV/Tent camper in mind. Plenty of room to stretch out. There is a really cool rail yard across the street where you can watch slow moving locomotives move railcars. There is a little splash zone for the kiddos and plenty of grassy areas. The WiFi actually extends throughout the campground thanks to access points all through the property. Clean, new and close to lake and the cute little downtown of Helper.
GuideWe 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.
Scout
I really want to give a poor review so no one else will take my future reservations. However, they really are in a great location and easily accessible. The Dwelling is large enough to hold a really big family or two couples with small children. The cabin is pretty small but large enough for a family of four. Both have showers, toilet, with running water. The lake is about a mile down the road. The nearest open boat dock is on the other side of the lake (~3 miles). The ATV trails are endless and right out the driveway is access to Skyline Drive AKA God's Country. Fishing is good at Joe's spring and fall. Summer time is better for swimming and wake boarding. The smaller lakes and ponds are better suited for summertime fishing. Luckily the are short drives. Not much of a rock climber but I know the only reason my in-laws come is to go drag themselves up a rock while I wet a fly. Overall a pretty laid back place to spend a few days relaxing.

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.
GuideStayed here a weekend to get in some mountain biking in nearby Price. Everything in the park is immaculate, and very well maintained. The staff was extraordinarily friendly, even inviting us to play some cornhole with them in the evening. We backed up to the river, and our lot was very spacious.
Downtown Helper is just a short walk away. Cute little area that looks like there is quite a bit of restoration/renovation underway.
In April, still a bit chilling in the evening/morning. Warmed up nicely in the afternoon.
We found a new favorite place to avoid some of the Moab crowd.
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.
TravelerWe overnighted here on our way to Ridgway, CO but wish we had more time. This is a great little RV park. It is very well maintained, has spacious sites, and the staff is incredibly friendly. We didn't have a chance to spend any time in Helper, but it looked so cool driving through. Lots of old buildings and businesses that look like a blast from the past. Connectivity is great here on all carriers. The only thing I can ding this place for is road noise from the highway and train noise from the nearby line and yard. But, I like trains, so I can't complain too much. Otherwise, this is a fantastic little RV park and I look forward to the opportunity to come back and explore the area more.
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.
GuideThis is a great park to stay if you like less crowded areas but still want to be close enough to Moab & Arches that you can drive down for the day. We had a train watching back in spot and it was really fun for our little one to watch the trains going by! The sites are very nice and the staff was very friendly. The trains can get loud if you’re not used to hearing them and the sewer hookup is located at the back of the site which is a little different but works fine! And the WiFi is the best of any park we have been!
ScoutI travel in either a van or a fifth wheel and would be happy to bring with one to this lovely park! It has lovely amenities, nice spaces and quite the view. I think it’s new. The private restrooms are better than home! A nice big shower, toilet and sink, a chair, hooks and nicely lit. They have convenient lights over the door on the outside of the of the building. Red is occupied, green is available. The laundry facility is new, clean and comfy; it’s right off the office and mini store. Speaking of the office, the staff are kind and helpful. The grounds are spotless and a river runs next to the park. The only drawback could be the railroad tracks nearby, but I love trains and they went by slowly and infrequently.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
ScoutClean, well maintained campsite. Friendly hosts, even helped us novice RVers get set up. Had a snack bone for my pup too! Will stay here again!
ScoutThis is a new park with great facilities. The RV pad surface is similar to road base and is easy to walk on compared to gravel (also easier on hoses, power cables, etc.). The staff was very friendly. The views are great and there is more shade than the average desert camp site because you are in the mouth of a canyon. There is a fairly river on one side of the park. There is a set of train tracks nearby so that may matter if you’re a light sleeper. I didn’t wake up to any trains so they may not go through at night.
TravelerThis 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.
