We came here to test out our new teardrop we bought from SLC. We wanted the electric hookup. We arrived during a snow storm, off season camping was first come first serve. We used the QR code to check in and pay. We were the only ones on the campground, so we took the campsite closest to the lake and the vault toilets (flush toilets were closed). The lake was beautiful and the campground was maintained nicely.
Traveler
This 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.
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.
Scout
Great rec area including a playground. Bathrooms well Maintained and pedal boat and other boat rentals. Plenty of fish to catch off the shore or in a boat
GuideCastle Gate RV Park is a newly built RV park, with cabins and tent sites available as well! The splash pad is perfect for kiddos! The Book Cliffs make for a beautiful back drop for photos at any angle! Plus this campground is WALKING distance from the adorable town of Helper, UT. Museums, restaurants, shops, art galleries!

GuideGreat individual bathrooms, big spots, nice camp hosts.

Pleasant Creek Campground is a nice campground with clean facilities. This is a privately owned campground and each site is well manicured.
The sites are close together so you don't get a whole lot of privacy. The staff were steady busy leveling off the gravel in each site and mowing the lawns. This place is great for a stop over....not my style of camping, but nonetheless it's a pretty campground.
GuideIMPORTANT INFO: Please read. NEW UPDATE as of April 14, 2022 To contact them call:(435) 462-2010 WEB SITE: https://www.pleasantcreek.camp/ NOTE: some of the other links did not work. We stayed there summer of 2021 under the old owner. We have just made reservations to stay there again in May 2022. It was a great stay. 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. Hopefully they fixed this under the new ownership. Swimming pool was great. Did not use the showers or bathrooms so no comment on them. Staff was (and is now--I just made reservations for May 2022) very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a place in the Ephraim- Mt Pleasant- Fairview area with full hook-ups...........THIS IS IT! Highly recommended. We love exploring the area and Skyline Drive. Beautiful country. Just 8 miles from the amazing little Fairview museum where we learned about the Mormon pioneers who settled here. No little black flies when we were there but during some weeks can be an annoying problem. We are excited to stay there again.
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.
Guide
The North and Western beaches are a semi dispersed campground. There are no actual sites, but there are outhouses every couple hundred yards. The outhouses are lighted by little solar powered led lamps. The north side is amongst some pretty cool little sand dunes. We had the place to ourselves in late October. 
Guide
Had very clean restrooms and showers. Lots of amenities like a playground and volleyball net. Campgrounds face the main area where cars drive so they’re not very private, but that wasn’t a problem for us.
TravelerThe campsite is pretty with clear views of the water and mountains. Bathrooms and showers.
TravelerThis place is a great place to camp if you have one of the single or double site next to lake. There is plenty of grass and great facilities. The group site on other side of road is not the best.
GuideLots of big rigs, asphalt, generators, traffic and noise
GuideWe planned to tent camp here, but our friends rented the cabin next to our site and couldn’t make it last minute. So we got the cabin! Great spot. Lake is cool and an easy walk down from the sites. Shade is at a premium, so we were very happy to get the cabin because it was crazy hot. Clean bathrooms with nice showers for rinsing off after splashing in the lake all day.
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!
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
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.
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.
ScoutThe staff there are super helpful and friendly. The campground is well maintained and clean with lot of trees for shade. The camp spots are plenty large with all the amenities anyone would need regardless of RV size. The community in Mt. Pleasant and nearby Fairview is like from an old movie; old yet gorgeous.
LegendThis place is new and they are still adding sites. Between high cliffs on the Price River. I was worried about the train noise…TOTALLY UNFOUNDED worries. I heard the train around 10 pm and then again in the morning. No close crossings so no whistle noise. Their water pressure is outstanding in fact they recommend a pressure regulator on the supply line. The park WiFi was beyond excellent. The staff were also beyond excellent. We got our propane tank filled then escorted to our site. As I said it’s on the Price River. The staff have made a mini park at waters edge. All in all a terrific park. Definitely recommend Castle Gate RV Park 
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.
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!
GuideUtah state recreation area, OHV recreation area along with beach side camping. Year round access. Campground is RV only (I think) beach tent camping along the whole lake, vault toilets around the lake, Occasionally there are trees but mostly not, can get dusty if people are driving thier off road toys. Only 1 vehicle per reservation extra car can be paid for. Nice beautiful, relaxing.
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.
