Beautiful spot
Great spot for a day or two. The parking area has plenty or room would not recommend the last half mile of road its rough.

And offered eggs from his chickens on site. Place has a nice river and the views were amazing. The snow covered mountains offered an amazing view and a nice hike," noted one camper about Sevier River RV Park. Winter camping is limited in some areas due to snow and cold temperatures, while summer brings warmer conditions ideal for outdoor recreation. Many campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though services may be reduced during winter months.

Worthy of an overnight stop. Springs were busy during the day but fun.
James W.GuideThousand Lakes RV Park and Campground
Great spot
We stayed here in April 2026. The expectations were low, but the return was high. First of all the gift shop is way cooler than you might guess for an RV stop. The check-in service was nice and efficient. Most of the spots are level, although where we were with slightly offkilter. Nevertheless, that did not deter us. It looked like it had a nice swimming pool in area for the kids to play and, believe it or not, the barbecue is actually not to be missed. I would’ve never guessed there would be a restaurant that good at an RV park in a small town, but we truly enjoyed it. The guacamole was fresh. The chicken was perfect and understand that the ribs are even better. The only thing I had to say about the park was the bathrooms were a bit dated in the showers were as well. That said, I gave it five stars because the barbecue was that good and it kept us from having to find another restaurant.

Excellent Spot
Personally, this is one of my favorite spots and an awesome spot at that. The views are incredible and excellent for photography or for simply admiring. I stayed here for the full 14 days, experiencing both good and bad weather; I still recommend it.
Road Quality
Average. Gravel/dirt road with some potholes and ruts; an everyday vehicle could get down the road with care. It's a single-lane road, not a lot of through traffic, except campers. Roads can get soft with rain or snow, especially the potholes and ruts. Be careful and keep an eye on the weather.Site Quality
Average. Campsites appear to be level for the most part; they have fire rings, they’re a good distance away from one another, and they appear to be large enough to fit two, maybe three bus-sized RVs. Sites are mainly dirt and grass; ground can get soft with rain or snow. Be careful and keep an eye on the weather.View Quality
Excellent. Snow-capped mountains surround you, with excellent sunrises and sunsets and amazing night skies when they're clear. Plenty of birdwatching and perhaps other wildlife if you're lucky!Noise Quality
Depends. The campsites closer to the entrance will hear the highway, but it’s mostly white noise for those who do not mind. I imagine the further you go back, the less you’ll hear the highway. The occasional plane or helicopter will fly by at a low altitude. Lots of birds; you’ll mostly hear them in the mornings and evenings. Neighbors have been friendly and respectful, making little to no noise. Besides the highway, aircraft, and birds, it's a quiet spot.Internet Quality
Excellent. Full bars on LTE. Although I imagine the further you go back, away from the highway, the fewer bars you’ll get.

Great Spot and beautiful views!
Just few miles away from the interstate. Closer sites can hear some traffic. We went down a little ways and didn’t hear the road. Road would be awful if it rains- be aware!

Meadow Hot Springs
Okay Spot
This is a 50/50 spot; folks can be a problem. I recommend staying during the week or only for a few days. This is a popular spot for both locals and travelers alike, so expect folks and expect it to get crowded after work/school hours. The weekends are worse with folks messing around, being loud, shining flashlights in folks' vehicles, and partying till about 1am. Minus the occasional bad bunch and weekend folks, everyone else is generally respectful of others, kind, helpful, and just overall really outgoing.
Road Quality
Poor. The dirt roads in and around the hot springs are really bad. Massive potholes and ruts everywhere. You definitely need good clearance, a 4x4, or some mad skills. The entrance lot is tolerable compared to the rest of the roads leading to the hot springs, which are far worse. I imagine the roads are even worse when it rains; the ground can get soft. Be careful and watch the weather. The gravel road leading to the hot springs is in excellent condition; any vehicle can drive down it, but once you hit the last cattle guard into the hot springs area, slow down.Site Quality
They’re okay. There aren't really sites, more like just parking somewhere where you aren't in the way of other people. There are some obvious dirt clearings, but you have to go through some rough dirt roads to get to them. It's definitely hard to find a good level spot here. I imagine the sites are even worse when it rains; the ground can get soft. Be careful and watch the weather.View Quality
Good. Mountains to the east and plains to the west. Sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous. The night sky is okay; the town is too close for a good view of the stars. Plenty of bird watching and cattle watching.Noise Quality
Average. It's a popular spot; it does get busy, and there is traffic throughout the day. Everything usually does quiet down towards the evening and usually stays quiet into the mornings; there are just the sounds of birds in the morning. But the occasionally bad bunch can and will definitely make it noisy.Internet Quality
Average. Two to three bars on LTE.

Meadow Hot springd
The road is extremely Bumpy. Once you get off the main dirt road. So, anything low profile is going to drag in some of the dips, but the hot spring itself is well worth it. If you can make it with three different temperatures, three different size pools. Nice people, just enjoyable Hot Springs. And as stated, take trash with you to keep it cleaner than you found it.

Koosharem Reservoir
Good place to pull over for the night or spend a day.
Easy in and out, couple individual spots and a large area for about 4-5 good size rigs, all with four pits. we were in a 40 ft fver. Public restrooms but did not use.
Heard it was good fishing.

By I15 but noise is minimal
Elite dispersed camping, it is very convenient to the highway. But yet we parked behind a mound of gravel, and it helped block the noise and some of the view of the highway. It was very convenient from interstate 15. No rough roads. Very flat areas.
