"We stayed at the Springville/ Provo Utah KOA in September 2021. This is a full service KOA with nice FHU 50 amp pull-thru sites which were long, wide and level."
"Knowing that this would be more of a "city" KOA, we were prepared for the tight sites but the view of the mountains and access to hot springs, food, gas, etc. is well worth it!"
$31 - $48 / night
"Lakeside was our home for 3 nights while we were in town for Provo’s annual Colonial Festival."
"You're super close to amenities and anything you could want to see in town, as well as Utah Lake."
"The only bad part about this camp site is all the highway noise. It is close to the Provo river and there is lots of shade so that is nice. Great place to have a camp fire and cook some S'mores. "
"Close in to town, very pretty with Provo river next to it. Bike path and highway noise can be distracting."
$50 - $100 / night
"Gorgeous view across the lake. Quiet. Electricity worked well. Extremely clean. Camp hosts were nowhere to be found and another rig had claimed the end lake-adjacent site I paid for."
"This my 3 stay here at Utah Lake state park. 2x in July and now in September. I’m a single female traveler."
"This is a great spot just a about 2 miles off the main highway. It’s paved until you get to the campground turn off which is a good dirt road. Wide open space with tons of options to tent or RV."
"That being said, if you don't have an off-road capable vehicle (like me) - it's a solid option and there are some pretty mountain views. You can buy the permit online."
"The sites are clean and have concrete around the table and cooking area. The tent site was nestled among the trees and was very nice.
We did get a visit from the locals."
"You are really close to fifth water and the start of the trail to the hot pots. There is lots of big cotton wood trees for shade. The spots are big enough for a tent or RV."
$305 / night
"Being that we already live in southern Utah county, this place has become a go to for our family. Only about 45 mins away from Payson Ut. "
"There is a lake close by within walking distance with a paved trail all around it. The water was low and pretty gross when we went at the end of the summer.
I stayed at B23."
"This site is deep past the meadows near square peak. You continue to follow the dirt road in and on your left is a small depression in the land with a fire pit and ample space for tents or hammocks."
"Found a beautiful spot tucked away in the trees with a great view of the Timps. Continue exploring along the road for amazing panoramic views."
$28 - $353 / night
"We were close to the river though and the kids had fun playing in it. There are no fish in this river, which was unfortunate since I was hoping to do a little fishing."
"All driveways and roads up to and around camp were paved. We have a 31 ft class A motor home and we navigated around easily. A loop has lots more trees but we certainly were not lacking."
$28 - $62 / night
"Really close to the Provo River for day activities."
"Nice overlooks nearby."
GuideI had to drive down to this campground because our camp hosts were staying here instead of at soapstone. As I drove through there’s plenty of shaded areas but the campsites looked small. If you have a tent bigger than a 4 person, check the site to make sure you won’t be hanging off the pad or at an angle.
GuideSpacious campsite but was next to the creek so the ground around the campsite was always damp. Not all campsites had that issue though. The camp hosts were staying 9 miles down the road at the time (June 11) so we had to backtrack to grab firewood from them. Buy your firewood in Kamas, it’s much cheaper and better burning.
GuideEach site has a lot of shrubbery that lends to a better sense of privacy. Kind of tight for trailers larger than 28’ to access, make sure you go the right direction on the one ways unless the hosts instruct to pull in backwards like we had to. Cool disc golf course and mountain biking trails cut through the campground. Be careful on trails, my fiancée had a run in with a wolf pup and my dog was thankfully on the leash at the time. Lots of cool wildlife!!
ScoutWe love coming here! We are close to hiking and off-reading without the craziness off Mirror Lake Highway. Also, the kids love the pool and the basketball courts.
ScoutVery convenient to great recreation areas. The staff is fantastic and super helpful.
TravelerGreat off grid site - we are in Campervans - 20ft and they can easily get in here. There are bigger Caravans here as well. Nice group sized sites with camp-fires. Road in is nice and looks to be recently re-done. Lovely scenery.
ScoutGreat open area with plenty of space. Great for kids and dogs and close to the highway.
GuideThey will not tell you where to go or stay if the place is plagued with flies and fluffy stuff from the cottonwood trees. They will not advise you to stay away from the lake front on the campground to avoid all those nuisances. They will however tell you that they won’t refund you for anything!! So be careful!! Good playground for the kids but the campsites themselves really don’t do it. $50.00 for a night on top of it all. Very disappointed.
ScoutStill a bit cool in May, but as the leads come in there are spots with decent coverage and 10 minutes from strawberry reservoir
