  Wagons West RV Campground

  Simple but Comfortable

  No room in RV site for tent so moved to grassy tent site. Most sites appear to be occupied by long term rentals. Host was very friendly and helpful in accommodating my needs.

  Mackinaw Campground

  Good high elevation CG at Fishlake

  Large campgrounds in area including this one. Camped in September (Doctor Creek CG up road was closed). Quiet, clean. End of tourist season and so couple of nearby stores were selling out their ice cream--Got giant couple of scoops in a bowl. For water/boaters & fishing, mainly, typically sold out during summer. Sites go in rows inching up-slope and some have nice views of lake.

  Maple Grove

  Little out of the way gem

  Stayed 6/1-4 in space 9. Very shady campground and campsite. Creek runs thru but not by this site. Only 1 vault toilet for the family campground, so walked over to Group site toilets which were cleaner. One trail out of camp to Rock Canyon but it was fairly steep and rocky so didn't do much of it. Did walk up and down paved road into camp and then on dirt roads off main road that had a few FCFS dry camp pull out areas along the creek. Campsites well spaced many with good views of valley or the red rock cliffs. No ATVs allowed in campground. Spaces 15 and 20 were also good, 10 is double size but same price with large drive and nice views to red cliffs. Camp host unobtrusive.

  Would be great during fall colors. Saw some bear scat on trail closer to I-70

  Just needed to find a place for the night and this was perfect! No one around, huge site, beautiful views and free! Cows meander around the campsite..didn't bother us. If you go past where the directions take you, there are 3 or 4 spots that are also nice. Road is easy to travel.

  Mystic Hot Springs

  Over priced

  The camping is funky but functional. And overpriced. You pay per person not per vehicle.

  Fishlake National Forest Oak Creek Rec Site

  Don't Tell Anybody

  Oak Creek is my go-to campground, whether I'm with family or solo. It's nestled in Boulder Mountain and can be easy to overlook if you're not paying attention. Experience Unblocked Games 76 right now!

  Fishlake National Forest Oak Creek Rec Site

  Hidden Gem

  Stumbled upon this small campground. 6 sites around a grassy area. Oak, maple and cottonwoods and a creek. 4 group sites and 13 more sites up canyon past group sites, some along the creek. Water, pit and flush toilets, no garbage. There was a trailer in site #1 but didn’t see anyone. Beautiful full moon rise over canyon! Quiet and peaceful but a surprising amount of traffic on the gravel road up the canyon past campground. There are more camping spots up the road. Plantation Flat is a primitive campground in a pine forest. It was full of OHV campers. Looked like they were there for awhile.

  Fish Lake National Forest Campsite

  Easy to find, small spaces, empty on a weekday

  We pulled in after sunset to stop before going all the way north to SLC. The road was pretty doable in our truck, but it think it would be easy in a sedan too. There was a roundabout at the coordinates and another van was there, but there looked to be 3-4 more small spots for tents or vans. Not sure how many could accommodate a bigger rig. Lots of bugs, none biting. About a 7-10 min drive to the freeway. No freeway noise though. Some broken glass and trash, but nothing unexpected.

  Little Cottonwood Campground

  Small but beautiful

  Only 15 sites. But each site is large with a fire pit. Lots of trees. Right near the river and only 10 minutes off the 15. No cell service for Verizon.

  Pleasantly Surprised

  Beautiful scenery and just right outside of town. Very easy to access for most. I did see an RV camping but it had to be a bit more difficult for them. There are several established places to camp with beautiful views. Very private. Great for mountain biking

  Fish Lake National Forest Campsite

  Easy to get to from the I-15

  This wasn't where we planned to camp but got too tired to drive any further. We are in a Toyota Camry and just hammocking. This spot worked out nicely. There was someone in the actual place of the coordinates. But we found a spot near by.

  Little Cottonwood Campground

  convenient and nice

  Convenient NFS campground close to the interstate that makes you feel you are way back in the national forest.  Small but nice campground right on the Beaver river which was flowing fast and was enjoyable to sit by.

  Hosts were just arriving for the season and worked hard to get the restroom cleaned and functioning.  Thank you for your work! 

   No trash service or dumpster in campground but a collection station was only a mile away so easy to drop trash when leaving the next morning.  Water convenient to each site.  No cell service and in reach satellite struggled to get connection.  

  Would have rated 5 stars except neighbors generator ran all night at the top of each hour for 10 minutes which diminished the enjoyment from the sounds of the river.

  Will definitely stay here again maybe even for several days.

  Mackinaw

  Our favorite place at Fish Lake

  We just finished another stay at the Mackinaw Campground and it was the best one yet, even though our vehicle broke down on the last day of our stay. 

  Thanks to the amazing camp host, Karen, we were able to contact local mechanics and get it quickly towed and fixed. She was so helpful, understanding, and flexible with assisting us. We couldn't have done it without her. 

  The campsites have great picnic tables and firepits.  There are multiple small tent sites at each campsite and room for our longer travel trailer as well.

  This is dry camping, but the bathrooms are clean and have flushing toilets. There are many drinking water stations around the camp.  

  The park service has recently improved a dump station as the south end of the lake. It is a great place to fill your fresh water tank before pulling into camp and to empty black and grey tanks on the way home.

  The lake shore trail is just across the street making it an easy walk to the marina.

  Aspen trees cover the campground making it a great place to hang hammocks and relax.

  We will be back again and again!

  Nice stop for the night

  Nice quiet stop to park for the night. Close to the highway, far enough to not really hear it.

  Castle Rock Campground — Fremont Indian State Park

  Great location, quiet, semi private

  The site we camped had a private walk to the little creek, fire ring and picnic table. Well built bathrooms and a garbage dump available for use. $5 for all you can carry in your arms in fire wood… felt private without anyone parked on either side but later people came and the noise went up a little, but overall cute camp. Got one of the first come first serve sites, payment in cash only $20 for the night (established site, no water, no electric, no sewer) Pets allowed-leashed.

  Mountain Mecca

  Off road camping

  Open area looks like local party spot, not for RVs. Lots of spots to pitch a tent, established fire pits. Not far off the main road. Road goes up past water tower and recommends using 4wd to come up to prevent washboard, but any vehicle with awe would do. No amenities and very private.

  Mystic Hot Springs

  Interesting spot

  Arrived too late to do hot springs so I’ll come back and check it out.

  Bathrooms for women looked nice but men’s shower and bathrooms were a little rough. Could have been a bit cleaner.

  There was a wash station that wasn’t working so I couldn’t wash dishes.

  Not a lot of fires and a bit windy. Not too bad.

  Full hookup for EV charge was great!

  Dog loved the field area lots for him to sniff around.

  Dispersed Sandy Lot

  easy place to stop for night 15 minutes or so away from interstate

  We were looking for an easy place away from the interstate to split our drive from Idaho to St George in half.  There was no one here at all and found easy place with a tree to set up 26ft tt.  Let the dog roam free around meadow.  Further up are more sites but gets sandier and tighter

  Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

  Off Season Camping

  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.

  Beaver KOA/ Bryce Canyon

  A smaller and quiet KOA

  General: A mix of FHU (most pull-thru but a few back-in), two tent areas, and three cabins. 

  Site Quality: All sites are level and gravel. Some sites have a brick patio that the picnic table sits on. As would be expected in an RV park, there is minimal separation between sites, however, when we were there on a weeknight in November, it was only about 25% full so it was not a problem. 

  Bath/Shower House: As we’ve come to expect in KOAs, the bathrooms and showers were very clean with soap and paper towels. 

  Activities/Amenities: The pool was closed for the season when we were there. There is a nice play structure, a basketball court, and a few other outdoor games. Amenities include a pool table, laundry facility ($2 each for wash and dry), fish cleaning station, pet area, and a small store open during business hours (9-5). The dishwashing sink appeared to be closed, perhaps for the season. There is free coffee in the morning. 

  This was just an overnight for us as we continued to head home after three months on the road so we were not looking for activities or amenities but appreciated that it was quiet.

  Anderson Meadow Campground (fishlake Nf, Ut)

  Away into the stars

  Bit of a drive to get there, high clearance vehicle is ideal. Very peaceful and the lake is beautiful. The bathrooms were clean but smelling real rancid, so try for a site that’s not next to it.
