    Moon Lake Campground

    Beautiful Lake, Clean/Modern Campground

    Moon Lake Campground is a clean and modern campground on the shores of a beautiful high mountain lake. The spots can be a little close together, but they are well developed. The bathrooms are modern for a national forest campground with running water, electricity, flushing toilets and ventilation fans. The camp host did an excellent job of daily cleaning and stocking of the campground. Just feet outside the campground is a private resort with rustic cabins and a lodge. The lodge store provides basic necessities in the event you forgot something, as well as an ice cream bar with sundaes and soda on tap. The lodge provides rentals of kayaks and small fishing boats. It even has a taco truck out front. All around, our family ranks Moon Lake near the top of our favorite camping spots.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    A good example of how government campsites should be done

    Overall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups. 

     All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.

    A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

    Hailstone - Upper Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Immaculately maintained campground

    We stayed for only one night, but I would come back here in a heartbeat! Big, clean bathrooms with running water, mirrors, flushing toilets, & hot showers. Gorgeous view of the lake - you can walk right down to the water from your site. Super friendly staff. Tent pads are all level and maintained after each camper. Has all the other essentials- clean picnic table, big clean fire pit, and a charcoal grill.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    Decent water destination!

    We went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.

    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!

    Mountain Valley RV Resort

    Mountain Valley RV Resort, Utah

    One of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.

    They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.

    Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.

Guide to Kamas

Cabin accommodations near Kamas, Utah sit at elevations between 5,500 and 7,000 feet, offering mountain settings with relatively mild summers and cold winters. Several cabin locations provide direct water access to reservoirs or creeks, with fishing opportunities from May through October when water levels are highest. Most cabin facilities require advance booking, especially during peak summer months from June through August.

What to do

Fishing access: Jordanelle State Park cabins offer proximity to quality fishing opportunities. "Great fishing! We catch something every time we go. Fully paved area, so no need to worry about clearance or bad conditions. Be ready to pay the state park fee though," notes Derek E.

Hiking trails: Multiple maintained paths near cabin areas provide hiking options for various skill levels. "We are close to hiking and off-roading without the craziness off Mirror Lake Highway," explains a visitor at Knotty Pine RV Resort. The surrounding mountains offer elevation gains from 500 to 2,000 feet on established trails.

Paddling options: Cabins near reservoirs provide kayak and paddleboard opportunities. "Jordanelle resevoir is a destination of its own but is a 10 minute drive from Park City. Clean bathrooms and showers make this a great place to camp if you are doing water or mountain sports," reports Stefanie I.

What campers like

Water proximity: Cabins at Wasatch Mountain State Park provide creek and water access that visitors appreciate. "My family and I just love this campground!! We come at least twice a year. Everything is really well kept! Close to fishing pond, play area for kids, beautiful golf courses, hikes, Midway/Heber cities, fishing rivers and beautiful drives up the mountains for more exploring," writes Aaron G.

Cleanliness standards: Many cabin rentals maintain high cleanliness ratings according to recent visitors. "Such a fun place. Friendly staff. Very Clean. Great actives in a beautiful location," notes Beth M. about her second visit to a cabin facility.

Temperature considerations: Higher elevation cabins offer cooler temperatures during summer months. "September/early October gives cooler temperatures and less crowds, and we got to see some lovely fall colors," notes Sara M. about seasonal conditions.

What you should know

Site spacing variations: Cabin spacing differs significantly between locations. At Echo Island RV Resort, a visitor noted, "This site was very big & the creek surrounded on two sides. It even had 2 picnic tables. When we were here, this part of the campground was empty across from us & site beside us was empty which we loved!"

Bathroom distance: Some cabin sites require walking to reach bathroom facilities. "Jordanelle has 31 single sites, 3 doubles, and 3 group campsites. The single sites are $23 a night and be sure to make your reservation early as you are unlikely to get a walk in," advises Alan B.

Seasonal availability: Several cabin sites operate on limited schedules with closures during winter months. Check operating dates, particularly for sites at higher elevations where snow closures may extend into late spring.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Multiple cabin sites include playground facilities for children. At Mountain Valley RV Resort, a visitor observed, "We went up here to visit family and this place was packed, nice place to feel like you're really at a resort with the pools, our little cousins made plenty of friends at the playground and pool."

Water activities: Family-friendly water recreation options exist near many cabin sites. "We were allowed to use it, but we went to the resevoir a stone-throw away for some minor conveniences such as ice, snacks, etc. I would return to this location simply to fish the resevoir more," notes Nicholas R.

Recreation facilities: Some cabin locations include additional recreational amenities. "The kids love the pool and the basketball courts," mentions a visitor discussing family-friendly aspects of the facility.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: RVers note variable site conditions for cabins that also accommodate RVs. "The campsites are nice and clean, the camp hosts are very accommodating. Sites have water/power connections for units that have those capabilities," explains Char W. about cabin and RV sites at Echo State Park.

Water pressure variations: Be prepared for inconsistent water pressure at some cabin and RV sites. "Great campsite. Clean and nice amenities for a State Park. Be careful hooking up your RV to water. Very high pressure," advises Trevor S.

Hookup availability: Confirm which utilities are included with cabin rentals, as features vary between locations. "Each site has a cement pad, water, electric, and a shelter which is great when it is 90 out with clear skies," notes a visitor describing amenities.
