Very clean restrooms, relatively quiet, well maintained.
Traveler
But very dirt heavy and not many great flat spots. But made it work.

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”
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.
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
TravelerLarge 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.
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 ($2 each for wash and dry), fish cleaning station, pet area, and a small store open during business hours (9-5). The dishwashing sink appeared to be closed, perhaps for the season. There is free coffee in the morning.
This was just an overnight for us as we continued to head home after three months on the road so we were not looking for activities or amenities but appreciated that it was quiet.
Guide
Bit of a drive to get there, high clearance vehicle is ideal. Very peaceful and the lake is beautiful. The bathrooms were clean but smelling real rancid, so try for a site that’s not next to it.
Guide
19$ 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.
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
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
TravelerWe stayed here for 1 week and had a great time just relaxing! The town of Beaver is very peaceful and is home to the Creamery. Its a great place to get the best ever cheese and ice cream...yum! Fantastic place for biking as well.
GuideI 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.

Kents Lake Campground is beautiful and clean and the camp host is very friendly. The lake was soooo disappointing however. It was full (not just on the surface) of harmful grass clipping algae.https://deq.utah.gov/water-quality/photo-examples-of-harmful-algal-blooms-habs. )
We put our paddle boards in hoping to hop off the boards into the water out in the middle of the lake, but it was so gross and scary looking that we didn't even touch the water. After we got home, we looked it up and we found that it is a harmful algae.
TravelerStopped here for the night traveling between Moab and Las Vegas after a day of exploring the San Rafeal Swell. This is a great campsite to hang out for a night. Pads a are well established and there are sites big enough for more than one vehicle (we had two and a trailer). Great hiking trails right out the back of the campground
Guide
Clean RV Park, with Laundry and a small store. Paiute Trail access right from the RV Park. Each site has a tree! The park is tucked in a beautiful canyon, and surrounded by mountains! There is a gorgeous paved bike path that runs along the river, nearby. Staff is knowledgeable about trails!
RangerThere is a very large gravel area that's pretty level. We parked along one of the gravel mounds to help block wind and road noise. There wasn't much, to be honest. There's pulloffs along Freemont and Govt Well rd. There were a couple of other rigs there. It was pretty quiet for being right off the highway. There was some trash. So, make sure to leave it cleaner than you found it.
Scout
No one here but us. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains.
Scout
Bathrooms were clean showers could be warmer. Views are awesome. We are the only people here. For only 10 dollars and get a quick shower. Totally worth it. Looks like this place would be busy in summer.
