Best RV Parks & Resorts near Manti-La Sal National Forest, UT

*Also known as Jones High Country RV

Only $25 a night for Good Sam Members

$150 for a week.

We stayed here on our way through Nephi. Friendly, Privately owned campground. Lots of pull-through spots. Beautiful mountain backdrop.

Bathrooms, though old, are kept clean.

Wifi is not strong and we couldn't grab it with our extender.

RV spots are flat gravel and full hook-ups.

Though the campground is right on the road, it's not a busy one and you don't really hear cars when inside.

Newer RV Park with super friendly and helpful staff. The owner was on-site and very active. Good dude.
Sites are gravel but level. Sites are still under final construction and from what I saw, will back-up to the river. We stayed 2 nights and visited family in Price, UT. Due to COVID we did not use their Bathroom facilities.
We would stay again when we are passing through on US-6. Small world - we visited the Umpqua Lighthouse in OR and met a Tour Guide that had been the Camp Host at Castle Gate RV park! Like us, he liked the place!

Nothing fancy. We pulled in after a long drive and found a cheap place to spend the night. This place is older and not very fancy. The staff was nice and helpful. They have clean hot showers and full hook ups for our RV.

IMPORTANT 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.

Awesome campground at about 8,600’ elevation, has a couple small creeks running through, water and toilets on site as well. Each site has a metal fire ring (crucial for a campfire during burn bans), picnic table, grill, some sites had an extra fire ring and bench seats. It’s nestled on the mountainside surrounded by aspen forests and farm land. Plenty of wildlife in the area, watch for deer and cattle in the road. We had temps dip down into the teens overnight with a dusting of snow in late September, be sure to pack layers. Overall a perfect spot for tent camping, small campers max, no RV parking or hookups. Not too far from Capitol Reef National Park and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Highly recommend staying here and going to Grand Staircase for a hike in the slot canyons.

Rollin Home RV Park

Nephi, UT

Site #10, PT, FHU, 1nt.

Pros:

Long wide Pullthrough,  with grass dividers.  2 service centers to pick from  make setting up easy.

Beautiful views if you pick your spot wisely. (So office isn't out your back window instead of the mountains).

Clean laundry room.

Office staff very nice.

Yummy gourmet sweets for sale in the office/store.

Visible & ATT both strong signals.

OTA channels good. Plenty of them & good reception. 

No issues with power.

Picnic tables. 

Cons:

WIFI spotty. Bounced in/out a bit.

Water pressure high,  use regulator. 

No pool or playground if you need to entertain kids.

No shade trees. 

Overall a very nice newer park & a welcome break before pushing through SLC. We would use them again when in the area. 

TIP: 

#1:  Watch your GPS! 

Our Garmin RV890 had us coming in from the South end of Four Mile rd.... only it completely missed the turn ONTO Four Mile (it's just past the refinery). The road has no street sign, no rv park sign etc & said we were still 2m to the turn. Had us going off the asphalt onto gravel, up the mountain a bit to the Four Mile Hunting Club. We got turned around in a parts yard & a local was kind enough to get us back on track. NOT the parks fault,  just a caution that both Garmin. & Waze had no idea where we were. 

#2:  The pullthroughs by the office, the road to get to them has a tight right turn & is narrow. It sets you up nicely to pull out the gate in the morning, but might be a problem for a bigger rig if you don't realize it in time. We're only 34' & it was a tight turn for us. If you're a triple axle, or over 40' you might want to look at the Pull-throughs in the 2nd section.

Spent a night here. Nice facilities, with covered picnic tables at each RV spot, water, and most with electric. Nearby dump station. Some grass and green areas for dogs. Adequate shower facilities. Pretty scenery, and several miles away from the interstate so very quiet. There was an algae bloom that made lake hazardous, so we kept dogs away from the water.

We had a hard time finding a camping spot in June. Fish Lake campgrounds fill up so fast. Frying pan was convenient and well organized. They have tent and RV spots, water, picnic tables, and fire rings. There are not many trees for coverage from wind and I did not find wood for purchase directly at the campsite but there are small convenient stores about 7 min away around Fish Lake.

Stayed in site 8, which has a shallow and uneven driveway. We used several leveling blocks which helped. Site 6 is ideal in terms of proximity to toilets and relatively level site with trees and a water tap just adjacent. There are 9 total sites, 5 are group sites so tend to be LOTS of people around. Group sites are large and are only$20/night and site 9 is roomy, relatively private and has vault toilets adjacent. Walking trails in/around campground.

Lots of families. Safe. Rather enjoyed a sing-along one night with LOTS of kids.

2nd stay (June): Stayed again for 2 nights, this time in spot 6 which is roomier than 8 and one of only a few single family campsites. Renovation installed a new picnic table and fire pit but removed the tent pad. Water tap still adjacent. 

Big family gatherings due to large family spots, across were 6 RVs in one spot and trucks parked everywhere including on the grass. Fairly quiet and respectful but dogs were allowed to run loose and while seemingly friendly, they were not supervised for pooping. This also means bathrooms were under serious strain esp re: available toilet paper.

Nearby: On Hwy 31, appear to be a variety of dispersed camping spots, most are not well marked. Some appear to have names, but not sure if they are reservable. Most are for "groups" but are typically only $20/night, some smaller group sites are only$10/night. Seem to be largely FCFS. Several have vault toilets adjacent.

Visited nearby Huntington Lake State Park, which is relatively modest in terms of facilities, basically a lake and a campground (no shade). The sites adjacent to the lake look nice (~sites 1-5) and have partial hookups but the trees are sparse. There is a trail around the lake, but it appears mainly to be a gravel road with some benches here/there.

Food aside (freeze dried packs with our own add-ons): Had Peak beef pasta marinara with italian and garlic seasoning. FQ (fart quotient) is low. Had garlic mashed and Hatch green chile mac (from Sprouts). Added pepper jerky to the mashed before water and the cheese (Mexican blend) and one packet of fajita chicken (Wal Mart, about $1.25) and some Kinder's smoked garlic into the mac when it was ready. Also crumbled some 4 cheese Triscuits on top. 

Had Mountain House freeze-dried scrambled eggs in wheat tortillas with cheese, bacon (in at finish), and pepper jerky (in with water). Two servings would have made~4 burritos. Also recommend cutting back on the water to ~2/3-3/4c. Added pepper, garlic powder to eggs. 

Had Mountain House pad thai with chicken for dinner. Didn't add sriracha seasoning but put our own smoked garlic, Wal Mart applewood smoked chicken packet and the supplied lime, peanut butter, and nuts (supplemented the nuts with our own).

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're so happy to have this beautiful property on our platform. Level site, no amenities, pack it in, pack it out! This property was made for campers who truly want the camping experience. Sleep beneath millions of stars and then go for a walk. There are no rules but one: "do at least 250 yards of the 2.5 mile loop trail hike to the sheep camp, pond and stream and historic stone buildings(the trail head is located on the north side of the main wagon wheel camping area right next to the port-a-potty)." Check them out and come back here to leave them some love.

Awesome first camp of the year. Booked as soon as the state parks opened back up. Place really gave that “middle of nowhere feel”, lake and surrounding area were beautiful. Campsites were simple and bathrooms were nice. Only issue we had was we accidentally booked a site without electric. Could’ve been more clear on website, but also likely a rookie mistake being our first camp in Utah

There is not much to do in the area and the lake is seriously low, but it is a great place to park for a night or two if you want peace and quite and you have a big rig. We have a 42 ft motorhome and a separate pickup with a 6x12 trailer and we fit both in a pull through sie and it looked like there was another 40 feet available. We were in campsite #2 but it looks like there are other sites that are quite long. The site was level with water and 50 among power.
