The fenced dog parks at Love's RV Hookup offer secure exercise areas for pets, though the location can be noisy due to its proximity to a travel center.

    Love's RV Hookup-Fillmore UT 835

    Parking Lot Hook Up Site

    This is in the back of the Loves Travel Center. It has 2 super nice dog parks that are fenced in.

    It is loud since it’s in a gas station parking lot. Back in site only. All cement pads no sitting areas or places to be outside. Kind of weird cause people can just walk through and use the dog park around your RV.

    People park in the RV spots. Not a secured location. Stopped here to sleep on our drive home. Left before dark.

    No RV park showers or laundry facilities. Pay extra for the Truck stop showers (did not use)

    Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

    Great Weekend Getaway

    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

    Wagons West RV Campground

    Dated but inexpensive

    No concrete pads, just gravel with grass and picnic tables between. The landscaping looks a little overgrown. The fencing around the small dog park isn’t secure.

    Office and laundry facilities are closed on Sundays. Bathrooms are small but clean with one toilet stall and two shower stalls each.

    Full hookups and pull through spaces. Wi-Fi is available but we didn’t test it.

    It’s a very quiet place. Fillmore has a Best Western with a golf course, a few gas stations and a Carls Jr.

    Esquire Estates Mobile Home and RV Park

    Beautiful Park, very scenic and quiet

    We love going to this Park in Castle Dale.  Castle Dale has so much to offer us because we have 3 kids and there is so much to do in the area.  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.  

    The park has a new owner and they have been consistently improving the parks.  We were there about a month ago and they just opened up the laundry facility and club house, I hear they are going to add a dog park , provide propane sales and even have charging stations for EVs.  Love that they are making these improvements shows that they really care

    Manti Community

    Empty but nice!

    Manti Community is located just outside of Manti UT and is easily accessible via a dirt road. It's never full and rarely has any people. There are lots of 4-wheeling trails and a nice waterfall nearby.

    Ferron Reservoir Campground — Manti La Sal National Forest

    A Campground To Remember!

    Ferron Reservoir is one of Utah's best kept secrets compared to many of the crowded campgrounds in the High Uintas. 

    Ferron sits right on the top of the Manti-La Sal mountain range that divides the state in two. You can get to the reservoir from either side of the range, and the roads drivable for just about any vehicle.

    The campground has vault toilets, fresh water, fire pits, a couple-dozen individual sites, 1 group site, and a gorgeous view of the reservoir from just about any location. Feel free to bring your canoes or kayaks and spend the day paddling around and fishing. The fishing is great! 

    We take our entire family every year for our Family Reunion Camping Trip! It's one of those campgrounds that our kids will remember forever.

    Payson Lakes

    nice local campground

    Stayed here at the end of the camp season. It’s a nice campground, but the spots are a little confusing. First, their normal campsites are really small. We’d actually accidentally set up residence in a double spot without knowing it. So that was unexpected, given the spots are kind of pricey already (normally it’s $23/night, but the doubles were $46/night). And although we only had 6 people (limit for a single site is 8), we also had to pay an additional $8 for the extra car. Besides that, it’s nice that they allow pets.

    Joes Valley Campground

    Hidden Gem in Central Utah

    Joes Valley Campground is beautiful campground in the idle of Manti-La Sal mountain range. 

    The campground is clean and well kept. We stayed in site 26. There were trees on both sides of the campsite and there is ample spacing between sites. There are water spigots throughout the campground to fill water containers, but non at the individual sites. 

    There are no trash bins onsite, so what you bring in, you have to pack out. The campground sits right on the Joes Valley Reservoir which is a beautiful turquoise color and is great for boating and fishing. The water is still very cold for swimming. 

    There is no shortage of biking, hiking and riding trails. The campground sits adjacent to the Arapeen Tail which is a network of OHV trails. We stayed two nights here and wished we could stay more. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

    Huntington State Park Campground

    Do not camp here

    We camped here in May, 2024,  on our way north, traveling through Utah.  What looked like a nice campground from the Utah State Park website was not a nice campground.  Firstly, the bathrooms were not clean. Second, this seems to be a hang-out for the locals in Huntington, especially the teens.  Third, what few trees there are, are half-dead from not being watered.  There is evidence that a lot have been cut down, probably because they died entirely.  It is a mystery that a state park, with a reservoir, does not water the grass and trees in the campground! Fourth, and most importantly, there is semi-truck traffic on the highway that borders the campground, about every 5-10 minutes, day and night, no exaggeration!  Drive a few hours northeast and camp at Green River State Park in Green River, UT.  That is truly a nice, park-like setting, away from the noise of I-70.
