4 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several RV parks surround the Helper-Wellington corridor near Kenilworth, providing various accommodation options for motorhome travelers. Castle Gate RV Park features level gravel pull-through sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, water and sewer. Sites accommodate large RVs with adequate spacing between neighbors. "The RV pad surface is similar to road base and is easy to walk on compared to gravel, also easier on hoses and power cables," noted one camper. Blue Cut RV Park offers water and electric hookups in more compact spaces, with approximately half dedicated to long-term residents. Nine Mile RV Resort in Wellington maintains 83 sites with both 30 and 50-amp electrical options, while Mountain View RV Park provides sewer, water and 30-amp electrical connections.
Full hookup availability varies significantly across these facilities, with most offering sanitary dump stations regardless of site type. Cell service and WiFi quality receive consistently positive reviews throughout the area, particularly at Castle Gate where visitors praised the connection strength. The proximity to railroad tracks affects some parks, creating periodic noise concerns for light sleepers. A review mentioned, "There is a set of train tracks nearby so that may matter if you're a light sleeper," though many reported the train noise was less disruptive than expected. Parks maintain different pet policies, with specific breed restrictions noted at Blue Cut RV Park. Most facilities remain open year-round, though winter conditions may impact accessibility during heavy snow periods. Propane services are limited, requiring advance planning for extended stays.
"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."
"I 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."
from $25 - $150 / night
"The pull throughs and interior roads a lot of dirt mixed in with the gravel so it's what and muddy. Curious between the sides are large gravel and free for mud. Rest of the facilities are adequate."
"Still under construction, but when finished it will be a very nice and convenient park between Salt Lake to Moab. They only have two rows open at this time but offered a discount to our stay."
Available next weekend
from $44 - $79 / night
"This is a very nice small full hookups campground! Spot are small. But there are a few larger 5th wheel trails here. Michelle and her husband are very friendly and easy to talk with."
"Small private campground with country feel. Owner Michelle very friendly and welcoming and accommodating. Pros: Full hookups at all sites. Sites spacious enough to extend slides."
"Was driving from SW Washington to Moab. Needed an overnight and left late after baseball games. Reserved a spot at Mountain Home RV. GPS guided me right in to Mountain View RV. After hours."
"On the edge of town, with family who had never been camping before, this was a great spot to settle in for our first few nights. All spots have a shade tree and a picnic table."

Available next weekend
from $24 - $148 / night
"Was told there were new owners turning it around and it definitely shows. Will definitely be back. Back in sites towards the back are phenomenal if you’ll back a trailer."
"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."
from $50 - $300 / night
"The campsite was a pull through, fairly large with a picnic table and fire ring. There is a nice dog walk/path with a great view of the reservoir at the end of the path."
"Right next to starvation lake, plenty of mature trees , great view , super nice staffs , right next to Utah 40 but hardly hear any noise . 5 min away from town."
"Our kids are 9, 7 and 3 1/2 so it makes things very convenient and easy for us to go there and we can rent ATV's locally as well and there is a lot of close by site seeing. "
TravelerThis may not be fair since it's been wet and rainy for several days. The pull throughs and interior roads a lot of dirt mixed in with the gravel so it's what and muddy. Curious between the sides are large gravel and free for mud. Rest of the facilities are adequate.
TravelerBeautiful fall weather.
GuideI had an emergency book because of hurricane Rachel remnants. I stayed in T4 in my sienna campervan. It was great. Affordable. Some longer term residents I met were wonderful.
For me the trains stopped around 830. And were not frequent. But northbound trains do have to nail the horn for level crossing nearby. See video of zephyr
ScoutBeautiful open area, no shade. About a 2 mile walk to Strawberry Reservoir. Great place if you can find a space!
ScoutGood spot to stop
RangerOf the 30 or so places we have dispersed camped, this is our absolute favorite! What a gem! We were camped at over 9000 feet and the nighttime temps were in the low 50's, perfect sleeping weather! The pit toilets were as pristine as those things are going to be! The fire pit, picnic table, and stand for a camp.stive were fantastic, and someone left a bunch of chopped firewood at several of the sites, including the one we chose! This was a true "camping in the forest" experience. Would love to return here.
TravelerI was doing a multi day drive and didn’t want to stop anywhere that cost money and was just going to sleep in the back of my car. This place was clean, well lit, safe, great bathrooms… just what I needed to rest up and keep going.
It is not a campground, but I couldn’t ask for better. There are plenty of semis and other cars staying overnight.
GuideVery nice campsite, but a lot (I mean alot) of cows and copies of course
ScoutVery close to the reservoir. There’s so many options for parking and areas to spread out. Some spots are a bit muddy. Ideal for any rv or trailer. Cows come by throughout the day which is fun!
