  Lizzie & Charlies RV-ATV Park

  friendly campground

  I spent a night at a tent site here. There were all 5 Sites available. Toilets and showers are just next to the tent sites.

  I arrived without reservation and ten minutes before office closing time, still was made feeling welcome.

  North and West Beaches - Yuba State Park

  Hidden Gem

  Utah state recreation area, OHV recreation area along with beach side camping. Year round access. Campground is RV only (I think) beach tent camping along the whole lake, vault toilets around the lake, Occasionally there are trees but mostly not, can get dusty if people are driving thier off road toys. Only 1 vehicle per reservation extra car can be paid for. Nice beautiful, relaxing.

  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.

  Cove Fort Chevron Subway

  RVs only. No tent camping.

  RV pull through sites right off the highway with full hookups. No tent sites. Nothing sexy here, just good spot to spend the night in your RV if you're traveling through.

  Fillmore KOA

  Nice Campground

  I-15 noise. Tent campers a good set of noise canceling ear buds will take care of it. Quiet campground meaning no people running around shouting and partying. Clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Gave me a tent site that had nice privacy from rest of campground with plenty of trees and bushes.

  Beaver KOA/ Bryce Canyon

  Nice gravel campground

  Be sure to read the map, the spots are adequately marked, but there is very little grass except what is in the tent sites. There are plenty of dog bag and garbage cans. Very quiet place out of the city.

  Castle Rock Campground — Fremont Indian State Park

  Most Inexpensive Tipi I've Seen

  Got to stay in a rad tipi site for only $30! They had firewood available by the bundle for $5/armload. Tent sites are $15 and extra cars are $10. It's about a mile from the Fremont Indian State Park and the surrounding area is pure magic.

  Kents Lake Campground

  Lake front

  Beautiful location with endless summer mountain activities. Water taps and vault toilets, no hook ups. Mixed pull through, back in, and tent sites. Perfect for under 30' campers. The area has several lakes, ATV trails, hiking trails, and scenic drives. Lakes have trout, some allow small motorized boats.

  Mystic Hot Springs

  Comfortable with Amenities

  Really love the vibe of this place. There is plenty of space for tent camping although they offer bus stays if you prefer. Reservations are required in advance. There are bathrooms with showers and toilets all running water.

  Only complaints. There are some cats that meow, loudly. All night and the garbage man comes at 5 am Wednesday morning and it's quite noisy. All in all a good stay.

  Eagle View Campground — Yuba State Park

  Oasis

  Beautiful spot to stop on our route. The day we arrived was very windy. The view is serene and it’s very quiet. There are showers and bathrooms. Most campsites have water and electric and there are tent sites with great views of the lake. They have a couple cabins and on site kayak rentals.

  Cabin Camping

  We planned to tent camp here, but our friends rented the cabin next to our site and couldn’t make it last minute. So we got the cabin! Great spot. Lake is cool and an easy walk down from the sites. Shade is at a premium, so we were very happy to get the cabin because it was crazy hot. Clean bathrooms with nice showers for rinsing off after splashing in the lake all day.

  Mystic Hot Springs

  Amazing

  Stayed in an old bus turned into cute little camp spot. Stayed here in the dead of winter and was very comfy and cozy. Bus had heated blankets and was thoughtfully set up. There was also option for tent camping. Clean facilities. Mystic Hot springs was perfect. Just a short walk from the camping spot up to the hot spring that is open 24/7. Would recommend this to anyone as the perfect weekend getaway. Great prices as well.

  Fishlake National Forest Oak Creek Rec Site

  Oak Creek campground

  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.

  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!

  Bowery Creek Rec Site

  Hillside campground nestled among the birch trees

  I camped here during Labor Day week on a Friday night. We were a walk up  reservation. The campsites themselves are small and some of the tent sites have the tent pad staggered down or up the hill from the main camp area. They all had a nice large picnic table and a FirePit with grate plus a separate BBQ. It was clean and well maintained. We were site 12 or something and had a great view of the lake in the mornings and a rough open sky for star gazing. Most of the other campers were respectful and quiet at night and in the morning. The bathrooms were easy to access and very basic. To access showers you need to go over to a different campground nearby or pay to use some at the holiday park nearby. Lots of water spigots everywhere for filling your containers. There was a tiny babbling brook next to my site which was nice to listen to at night. There was a trailhead to go up the mountain right in the campground or you could walk down to the lake and hike along the lakeside trail. Cattle seem to have free roaming access to the north of the holiday park but I didn’t smell them at all that day. It does get cold there at night since it’s at high elevation. I stumbled upon this campground by chance when our plans changed due to fires so I’d like to go back and spend some more time there on a properly planned vacation.

  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

  Anderson Meadow Campground (fishlake Nf, Ut)

  Magical meadows

  This camp site is small and doesn’t have much space for RVS or anything like that so make sure to find a different location. Number 2 is a double campsite but you literally have a gorgeous view of Anderson meadows... so it’s booking worthy... the campsite has restrooms, fire ring and tent pads so that’s a bonus as well. Fishlake is amazing wherever you camp and the trout is ready be caught!!!

  Little Cottonwood Campground

  Small but nice campsite

  A small, (14 sites), well maintained campsite, just East of Beaver, Utah, that offers easy access to a number of small lakes and reservoirs. The camp host on this trip was very friendly and helpful. They sell wood bundles for $6. The camp has separate male and female restrooms with flush toilets. And, enough drinkable site faucets that almost every site has 1. There are 2- accessible sites, and actual tent pads, not just a tent area. The Beaver river runs right in the campground, with an accessible area, completed with a park bench to sit on. There is also a group fire pit.

  LeBaron Reservoir Campground

  Breath taking views

  Wow! Talk about about incredible... first of all there is not a camp host so make sure to reserve ahead of time or cross your fingers and hope it’s not a busy weekend. However they have so many different dispersed camping all around so not to fret you will find a place. The bathroom is spotless!!! It’s a vault toilet, nothing special but it’s clean. The US forestry service comes through quite frequently and maintains the camp site and the bathrooms. You have a fire ring with attached grill, table and an additional table where we put our Coleman stove. Nice flat areas for tents and gorgeous trees surrounding. The lake is amazing and we caught trout all weekend. Power bait is the secret!!!! Take a walk and explore the gorgeous meadows and behind the damn a fast running stream where you most likely will bump into some cows and there babies. Fishlake National Forest is stunning and lebaron campgrounds is gorgeous. It’s a small camp ground about 13 sites. And you will always see cows which is neat for the kiddos. It’s a must to come here!!!

  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

  Fishlake National Forest Oak Creek Rec Site

  A Hidden Gem

  Traveling east along US-50 "The Loneliest Road in America," we were seeking somewhere to camp after leaving Great Basin National Park. We stumbled upon Oak Creek Recreation Area quite by accident, but such a rewarding accident it turned out to be. It must be the best kept secret in western Utah for camping.

  Oak Creek campground is located four miles east of Oak City, Utah. It is nestled in a canyon in the Fishlake National Forest. We arrived at the campground late afternoon June 5, 2023 and had our choice of ANY campsite - we were the only occupants. We selected site 19, a back-in site at the end of the loop that runs through the campground. The site is less than 100 feet or so from Oak Creek which runs parallel to the campground. The site is level and easily accommodated our 18-foot travel trailer. Using our Senior America the Beautiful pass, the cost per night was $8.00 and worth every penny. In addition to this campsite, there is additional camping further up Oak Creek Canyon Road for tents, RVs, and trailers - access is via a well-maintained dirt road beyond the campground we stayed in.

  Highly recommend this campground for peace and quiet!

  Castle Rock Campground — Fremont Indian State Park

  Comfortable campground close to I-70

  Castle Rock campground in Fishlake National forest is one of two campgrounds that serve Utah's Fremont Indian State Park, with both administration and reservations handled through the Utah State Park system. When I visited it was both very clean and very well maintained. Despite being close to the interstate, it is far enough up a side canyon that you do not hear the traffic on the road. It feels like being much further from civilization.

  There are 44 camp sites available, many alongside the creek that flows through the campground. About 2/3 are reservable, the rest are available daily as FCFS. Two have teepees for those lacking a tent. Several are double sites for larger groups, and there are a variety of pull through vs in/out options.

  There is available potable water at several locations around the campground, and two restroom facilities - a full flush unit near the center of the grounds, and a double pit at the south end of the loop.

  Every site has a fire pit, an elevated grill, and a picnic table.

  There is an access road from the campground to the Paiute ATV trail. For hikers, the south end of the campground is the north origin of the Joe Lott Trail that heads into the Fishlake National Forest. The facilities of Fremont Indian State Park are about 1/2 mile away, on the opposite side of I-70, and include a small museum of Fremont life, and a variety of improved and unimproved trails leading to many rock art sites.

  Beaver KOA/ Bryce Canyon

  Pleasant Surprise

  This location has clean bathrooms and showers centrally located on the grounds. So it doesn’t matter if you’re in a tent or RV, it’s a close distance for everyone. They are also pet friendly with trash cans and doggie bags placed around the site. Our tent area included water/electric, a picnic table, and fire pit/grill. We really enjoyed our little grass area and the quiet surroundings!

  Little Cottonwood Campground

  Quiet and Calm

  My husband and I camped at this campground September 3rd to September 8th of 2020. We are tent campers and really enjoyed this campground.

  All of the campsites seem to great for tent or trailer but there are specific sites that have tent pads. We were in spot 11 and it did not have a tent pad but had a nice spot to put our tent.

  The campsite is very well maintained. The fire pit is sunk in and there is gravel around it and where the picnic bench is. The sun dips behind the mountain and therefore the afternoon is mostly shaded which makes it easy to enjoy sitting around the site and using the picnic bench.

  I enjoyed all the natural greenery and shrubbery that grew in between the sites. I could not see our neighbors and it felt secluded.

  There is one bathroom facility on the site with 2 stalls in each the men’s and women’s restroom. They were kept clean but do be careful of black widows. Both my husband and I spotted some in each of the restrooms. They also don’t have showers because we stayed longer I was brought our outdoor shower gear and was able to set it up in a private area on our site.

  We have Verizon and did not get service at our site. Drive about a mile in towards town and we would get service. We didn’t mind since most days we were off visiting the National Parks and other sites.

  The camp host was very friendly.
