The Mammoth Cabin was built on site while the Lake Cabin was moved to the site from its original location in the 1980s. Both cabins were constructed in the 1930s serving as forest ranger and fire crew dwellings for many years. The cabins overlook a wide expanse of sagebrush valleys with timbered slopes and ridgelines. The grounds that cabins are located is also an active administrative site. Visitors can expect to see Forest Service personnel using the grounds adjacent to the cabins.

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.
Scout
Great rec area including a playground. Bathrooms well Maintained and pedal boat and other boat rentals. Plenty of fish to catch off the shore or in a boat

I recently stayed at KOA Provo/Springfield and while it had some positive aspects, overall, I give it a 3 out of 5 stars. The campground is conveniently located near the I-15 and a gas station, which was convenient. However, I did find the price to be a bit high for what they had to offer.
One of the main issues I had with the campground was the tightness of the sites. They were very close together, which didn't allow for much privacy or space to relax. The bathrooms were also a disappointment. They were not well-maintained and some were out of order. Additionally, I never saw any staff during my stay, which made me feel a bit uneasy.
Despite these drawbacks, I will say that the campground is still a good option for a quick overnight stay. However, I wouldn't recommend it for an extended stay. If you're just passing through and need a place to rest, it could be a decent option.
Overall, while KOA Provo/Springfield has some good qualities, it also has some drawbacks. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option and don't mind sacrificing a bit of comfort, it could work for you. But if you're looking for a more relaxing, well-maintained campground, you may want to consider other options.
GuideThis KOA is very nicely run. It's clean and we'll kept. The backdrop of mountains and colors are gorgeous. It's just very cramped. Your door opens right to the neighbors hookups. There are strips of grass between but they hold half of a picnic table.
This is a good spot to hook up and top off for a night or two, or if you're planning on staying inside, or if you're going to head up into the mountains for hiking and leave the rig behind.
Can't comment on the cabins but they seem nice and the amenities areas are very nice as well. I just prefer a little space when I'm camping.
ScoutWe have a daughter that lives in Spanish Fork and this is very convenient for her to come see us and bring her children to play in the pool and the recreation hall. Everything is clean and complete. Even the kitchen is clean and large in the hall

Pleasant Creek Campground is a nice campground with clean facilities. This is a privately owned campground and each site is well manicured.
The sites are close together so you don't get a whole lot of privacy. The staff were steady busy leveling off the gravel in each site and mowing the lawns. This place is great for a stop over....not my style of camping, but nonetheless it's a pretty campground.
ScoutHad a great time playing a shrunken bowling game in the game room which also had pool tables and other cool games.
GuideIMPORTANT INFO: Please read. NEW UPDATE as of April 14, 2022 To contact them call:(435) 462-2010 WEB SITE: https://www.pleasantcreek.camp/ NOTE: some of the other links did not work. We stayed there summer of 2021 under the old owner. We have just made reservations to stay there again in May 2022. It was a great stay. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because some of the sites aren't level and are pretty close to each other. I had to use 3 yellow square leveling blocks on the left side. Hopefully they fixed this under the new ownership. Swimming pool was great. Did not use the showers or bathrooms so no comment on them. Staff was (and is now--I just made reservations for May 2022) very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a place in the Ephraim- Mt Pleasant- Fairview area with full hook-ups...........THIS IS IT! Highly recommended. We love exploring the area and Skyline Drive. Beautiful country. Just 8 miles from the amazing little Fairview museum where we learned about the Mormon pioneers who settled here. No little black flies when we were there but during some weeks can be an annoying problem. We are excited to stay there again.
Guide
The North and Western beaches are a semi dispersed campground. There are no actual sites, but there are outhouses every couple hundred yards. The outhouses are lighted by little solar powered led lamps. The north side is amongst some pretty cool little sand dunes. We had the place to ourselves in late October. 
RangerKnowing 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! The moo-ing cows roaming around just added to the ambience (We camp because we like the different places we find!) Yes.. the sites are VERY tight. Pull in was manageable and our groundwater spicket leaked ridiculously but we still had decent water pressure. I noticed that other spickets were also wrapped tightly with tape and had electrical lines leading to them (I'm sure the water freezes if not cared for).. Overall, this was a nice enough place to stay for a few nights. We stayed over the weekend so it was busy.
GuideWe 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. This KOA is one of the nicer KOA’s that we have stayed at. It is very well managed with a professional, friendly staff. It does have a pool, children’s play area and group area with two bbqs. It has lots of grassy area to walk your pups and we met many friendly fellow travelers here. I highly recommend this park. To see videos on this park and others, visit our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.
Guide
Had very clean restrooms and showers. Lots of amenities like a playground and volleyball net. Campgrounds face the main area where cars drive so they’re not very private, but that wasn’t a problem for us.
GuideThe spots are a little tight but lots of spaces here. We're in a 40 ft Allegro Bus. Our space was 65 ft long which was good since we tow as well. Concrete pads are nice. Grass in between, clean and quiet. I liked hearing the train horn in the distance. 😀 nice koa
TravelerThe campsite is pretty with clear views of the water and mountains. Bathrooms and showers.
TravelerThis place is a great place to camp if you have one of the single or double site next to lake. There is plenty of grass and great facilities. The group site on other side of road is not the best.
GuideLots of big rigs, asphalt, generators, traffic and noise
GuideWe 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.
ScoutClosed
RangerEasy on and off the freeway if you are traveling through. Sites are close and small. Great view of the the mountains. Pool, playground and clubhouse for kids.
ScoutThe staff there are super helpful and friendly. The campground is well maintained and clean with lot of trees for shade. The camp spots are plenty large with all the amenities anyone would need regardless of RV size. The community in Mt. Pleasant and nearby Fairview is like from an old movie; old yet gorgeous.
GuideUtah 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.
GuideArrived on Thursday evening to a completely open beach. A few others pulled in later but parked 100 yards away. Friday evening filled in more but still well spaced. Plenty of space at this location. Was able to paddle board on lake. TMobile 2 bars. Wind picked up Saturday with gusts up to 40MPH. Headed home.
TravelerWe had one night here on a road trip to southern CA. It was beautiful. Clean, quiet, well maintained. We were there on a weeknight in April so I can imagine it gets pretty busy in weekends and in warmer weather. It was 25 degrees overnight so we were grateful to have the electric hook up! Road was well maintained getting there and not too far off the interstate that it made for a good stop over! We will be back.
TravelerI stayed here a while ago. It is too noisy with the highways and cars passing by on the roads. People do block you in here, due to not enough parking. Spaces are limited and too small! A big camper or even an RV is not comfortable and can barely fit with another camper/rv on the side of it. I couldn’t even move all of my slides out with a camper next door. The rules are no strict, you can’t have anything on the ground. Also, I will add this if you are a Christian and not a Mormon; DON’T STAY HERE! The place is run by mostly Mormon! They do judge and do look down on you. I would prefer more privacy and being open minded and excepting.
RangerI tent camped here in Aug. 2020. It was fine. Close to the interstate, for better or worse. I wanted to camp at the SLC KOA but it was closed to tents then.
ScoutStayed here when rockhounding. Work remotely so needed cell service and this place has good verizon LTE. Nice large sites, BBQ and campfire pit. Shaded picnic area. Super windy at night, not sure if it’s the time of year or the norm. Late october - winterized for the season so no potable water or flush toilets but there’s still vault toilets.
GuideWe were exhausted and thought we’d pull in here for the night. No one answered the phone when we called. Took our chances. Wrong choice. Double check before you go, because it looked vacant to us.
