    Joes Valley Reservoir

    Good Campground

    I've camped at this campground twice now; once in August of 2020 and once in July of 2021. Both times the experience has been good. The campsite has potable water and vault toilets. Before my two visits, I reserved my sites on recreation.gov. This made the experience hassle-free.

    One thing to note is that although you can tent camp at this site, the majority of campers are those using RVs. I enjoyed my experience tent camping. However, if you are somehow bothered by RVs or excess noise, you might want to find another campground.

    Overall, a good place to stay and I will certainly be back.

    Uinta National Forest Blackhawk Campground

    If I were to go back...

    I would reserve a spot ahead of time, avoiding any site in loop 'E'. That loop is for those planning to camp with horses. There are hitching posts at every site, therefore, lots of horse poo. And not the best place to take a dog because of all the horses in the area.

    The camp host at loop 'E' and 'D' is very nice, and is willing to split up group areas to individuals who have no where else to set up camp. If you do this, expect to get to know new people as you will share a fire pit and eating area.

    The fee to camp for one night is $20, but that includes access to any of the Payson lakes, which is $8 for day use.

    We didn't go on any hikes during our stay, as we bummed at the beautiful lakes (only the middle of the three lakes is dog friendly) all day. However, there is plenty of hiking in the area.

    Very hot. Around 90 degrees. Wake up and get breakfast early. Then enjoy the water in the heat!

    P.S. 3 stars due to the fact that I had to camp in horse crap.

    Fillmore KOA

    Comfortable, quiet and accessible

    This, as a KOA Journey, is a great place to stay “along the way.” Spaces are level and have a nice, grassy area between sites with a picnic bench & fire pit. The surrounding area is scenic with cows in pasture and a mountain backdrop. We only stayed a single night and did not use any amenities. WiFi was very weak but the hookups are in good condition. We really appreciated the grounds with trees and grass. The staff we encountered were very friendly. Fillmore has some neat gems to scout out. The freeway is close by so access is a cinch, but the grounds are far enough away to be void of any road noise. When we arrived, the wind was consistently 45+ mph.... not sure if this is an extraordinary occurrence but the map says wind picks up frequently and to store your things. Multiple gas stations nearby with excellent prices. Lots of ATV/OHV paths around the area. A single night allowed for us to explore a little and feel rested. Would definitely return!

    Fillmore KOA

    Relaxing and Fun

    I never knew there was so much to do in Fillmore. We visited the hot springs and lava tunnels. Kids had a blast. The KOA pool and spa were great. Sites are very close together and not all sites that say have a fire pit actually do.

    Painted Rocks Campground — Yuba State Park

    Yuba Lake State Park

    CAUTION: See GPS Coordinates so that you do not enter on the muddy dirt road like we did. Google maps took us to the park but an uninviting entrance to the park. Elevation 5,069 at site PR01. Painted Rock Campground. Cows had visited our site and left large pods before we arrived. There was a dump station. Our site had water and electric. The restrooms were just OK. Weather ranged in the 40s and 70s.

    Grab an Equestrian site

    Blackhawk is great if you can’t find reservations elsewhere. we booked equestrian sites up at the top - highest elevation. Good views, pavilions, fire pits and pit toilets. Don’t have to have horses to book equestrian and they seem to be more available since I don’t think people k ow this.

    Payson Lakes

    Beautiful!

    This place is beautiful! it is nice to have a lake to walk to for fishing, playing, or just admiring. each campsite really only has room for 1 or 2 tents. it does havw running water and a hole in the ground bathroom to use. i would be back again, the only real complaint is that it feels too pricey. one night is $23 and an additional vehicle is $8.

    Palisade State Park Campground

    Busy, Loud Park

    If you're looking for solitude, drive up a canyon road and skip Palisade State Park. It's loud and busy most days of the week in the summer. If you're bringing a group this might be your spot. The lake is nice and the trails around the lake are good for running, 4-wheeling and exploring.
