Very clean restrooms, relatively quiet, well maintained.
Traveler
But very dirt heavy and not many great flat spots. But made it work.
Traveler
The previous review said there were trash cans, however the is only one. It is location inside the volt toilet. The previous review also stated that this camp ground was close too the green county fairgrounds, but its name is the Beaver county camp grounds. Besides the one trash can, there are no water facilities and a weak Verizon service. The litter is Unbearable, both at the camp ground as well as the Beaver county fair grounds. You would think that the locals don’t have a very high regard for them selfs. I will pickup trash around my campsite but it won’t hardly matter I bet. “Please prove me wrong”
Traveler
Danny the owner, was great. Could not have asked for more. He started us right out with a 5 dollar per day discount.stayed two days then had to leave. Will stay again.
GuideThis nice little campground is located between Minersville reservoir and the Green County fairgrounds, just west of Beaver Utah, on state road 21. It is small and access is somewhat tight, but we were able to get our 32-foot C-Class in easily enough and campsite 1 accommodated us beautifully.
Pros: There is a picnic table in a concrete floored, covered patio with a trash can and BBQ grills which is setting within a few feet of a small running stream. Beautiful and quiet for just $12.00 a night.
Cons: Lots of very tiny gnats that were so small they got through our window screens, so we had to minimize our external lighting, and close the windows and shades after dark.
Scout
Beautiful campground Quiet and lots of shade Our site had a stream running by it
Guide
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.
Traveler
Great campground. Very quiet. There are two campgrounds in the area. One being the actual Yankee Meadows campground and the other is an overflow. The overflow is where we stayed which is tucked into the trees and has a creek running through it. The main campground is open for the first time in awhile as there was a fire that destroyed it about 5 years ago. Since then they have reopened and have begun adding new picnic tables with covers and fire rings. It is unfortunately surrounded by burn areas, however still beautiful. For solar users, the main campground is great as there isn’t much shade. Water and toilets are found at the main site as well.
GuideConvenient 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.
Scout
Id say this place is good enough. Needed a spot in the area within 30 mins close to highway quiet dark secluded and it fit the bill
Pros:
No one else there
Vast huge area
Nice mountain view
Nice breeze
Good temp in June
Beautiful night sky
Quiet enough in eve and early AM
Not many bugs
Super close to highway, right there
Flat!
Cons:
Some trash left behind in some areas
A highway patrol and dune buggy whizzed by next day super loud. There are giant mounds of gravel the dune buggy rides. We were there sleeping til 12pm tho so prob fine if u leave at a decent AM time
Could hear the highway slightly, not enough i needed ear plugs tho and Im sensitive to sound when sleeping
Got hot during day til 12pm
Its gravel
Not super nature-y cuz its all gravel under you and mounds of gravel, good views arnd far away tho
GuideThe 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.
ScoutStopped for an overnight heading to Denver. Initially there was another car with dogs but they didn’t stay so we ended up being the only ones for the night. It’s close to the highway, so we parked by one of the gravel birms for some protection and privacy. unfortunately there was lots of trash around and we found human feces.
It’s pretty flat which is a plus but definitely wouldn’t be my first choice if we would have seen something else
Traveler
Large gravel area with piles of gravel easy access. I parked behind a large pile which deaden any I 15 noise. Quiet place to spend a night. Nobody else about.

Jake from the Dyrt here! We're excited to have this campground on the Dyrt and ready for you to book, check them out and make sure to leave a review!
Scout
We didn’t camp overnight but we did visit the hot springs. Plan to have a self contained bathroom if you camp because there are no restrooms provided and little to no cover or privacy. Road is pretty bumpy!
GuideIt's just off the highway. It's soft gravel but I had no problems in my dodge grand caravan. 4 bars with verizon. Very quiet
LegendGeneral: 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 ($2 each for wash and dry), fish cleaning station, pet area, and a small store open during business hours (9-5). The dishwashing sink appeared to be closed, perhaps for the season. There is free coffee in the morning.
This was just an overnight for us as we continued to head home after three months on the road so we were not looking for activities or amenities but appreciated that it was quiet.
GuideThe owner of this property has graciously allowed people to stay here for free. Please leave with more trash than you came with.
Hot Spring was a little walk, but perfect.
Guide
Bit of a drive to get there, high clearance vehicle is ideal. Very peaceful and the lake is beautiful. The bathrooms were clean but smelling real rancid, so try for a site that’s not next to it.
Guide
19$ a night and 9.50$ with a senior pass, so it was a bit pricey. However, it was beautiful and had running water as well as an outside house and a metal campfire pit and a picnic table
Traveler
The only public bathroom was at their shower house, which you have to pay an extra fee to get access to. The shower house itself was a little trailer with two tiny half baths stuffed into closets and two small shower rooms. The doors on the two closet bathrooms had their doorknobs removed for a day while we were there. Not much else to do at the campground. Not really earning their self-appointed "resort" title.
Scout
We rented 2 sites for 2 nights. When we arrived they were taken. Half of our party had to go elsewhere because there was only 1 site left. The host frankly doesn't appear to be capable of doing his job. Manager refused to refund if. Never again. POOR MANAGEMENT! Prepay at your own risk.
Traveler
We loved how quiet fishlake was. We camped on a rim that looked out for miles. Nice break from being near bryce. Only thing you hear is the cows lol
ScoutBig open area, pretty flat. Couldn’t really see much as we arrived dark. Very strong cell Signal for T-mobile, Verizon and att.
Scout
Nice clean park and quiet. Nice little dog park. Management was friendly and easy to work with as we wanted to add an additional night's stay. We were in a drive thru spot and we could hear a little road noise, but it wasn't a show stopper.
Scout
OK, but quite a bit of freeway noise due to proximity and acoustics of site. Limited hiking from site. Need to walk/drive about a mile back down to visitor center to walk trails with petroglyphs.
Traveler
Everyone here very nice and everything is clean
