This campground has many spots! They were all clean and convenient. If you stay on the northern side of the campground, expect to hear cars and trucks through the night. I stayed in spot 31 which was spacious and right next to a little stream. The lake is close by and accessible by a trail in between two campsites. I heard a pack of wolves howling right around sunset but seemed a decent distance away. Definitely chilly at night time, but that’s expected this time of year. Highly recommended :)
Arrived on a Friday afternoon and snagged a spot with a great view but no shade, which was fine with me. The site was nice and flat with a fire circle. The road in was a bit rough because Google maps send me the back way and not on 150. I could see neighbors but not hear them. Minus one star for the tough access after rain and for the reservoir being dry on the end of this particular spot.
The road to get here can be interesting if you’ve never been. I wasn’t expecting a dirt road right next to the river. You don’t need any special vehicle though and as soon as you get to the resort, it is GORGEOUS. They have a couple playgrounds (one is better than the other) and lots of open grass area. The swimming pond was a great place for my kids to play. I randomly tried this resort and it will definitely be one I go to again.
Great boondocking spots if you’re willing to get off the beaten path and get a little dirt.
We took a 21’ bumper pull to a double RV site and had a super great time. Site 46 on loop B is so good, double RV spot, right by the bathroom, tons of extra room for a tent if you want one
Toilets flush! Honestly one of the best bathrooms I’ve seen.
The northern part of loop B is really close to the dock if you’ve got a boat.
We had a couple prairie dogs and chipmunks visit our site. Didn’t bother us, still wary of humans, but they were fun to watch
Spent one night here. The staff was really friendly and it's a very well maintained camp. The showers and bathrooms were spotless, and the dumpsters were very convenient. I ended up at a full hookup spot that cost $50 a night. I believe there are $30 options available as well. On the pricier side, but worth it. I believe they offer weekly discounts. I'm going to look into this if in the area again.
We stayed here during Memorial Day weekend 2023, it was a complete wash out but totally worth it. We had reserved a site in the middle of the campground and didn't like the lack of privacy or proximity to the bathroom, so we ended up moving to site 25 which was FCFC. That site was perfect. It was large and the river ran right behind it. The bathroom was a bit of walk though.
There was no hosts, so we did have to drive a bit to get firewood, but other than that we really liked the camp ground.
The bathrooms were kind of gross and smelly, but not the worst I've seen.
We stayed for 7 nights (the limit) in August of 2023. It's all paved, asphalt road and concrete pad for picnic table. Very beautiful setting with the large lake and mountains surrounding. Fishing-yes! Hand powered boating, hiking trails and lots of other lakes to explore.
There no water available but you can fill your RV, Trailer or whatever at the entrance to the Lost Creek CG which is about 3 miles east on Hwy 150. No Dump station, nearest being in Kamas.
Seems to be a popular place for local (SLC) families to gather. Family friendly so lots of kids. Quiet time 10PM to 6AM.
Looks a bit dangerous, right? If I had a choice, I would choose to stay home and play poly track rather than come here
Nine Mile Ranch is a great campground outside of Wellington, UT and a good base camp to check out Nine Mile Canyon. They have historic cabins they have used for camping cabins, RV and tent sites. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Super friendly and knowledgeable camp host. I would definitely stay again!
I picked this campground based on its proximity to the Crystal Lake trailhead, hoping that it would be quieter than Washington Lake since it didn't have RV hookups, and it did not disappoint! There were only a few other occupied sites at the time that I went (midweek, before Labor Day), many of the sites were along the creek in a beautiful alpine meadow. The pit toilet was clean, and since I had a water filter, I could pull straight from the creek at my campsite rather than going to the spigot at the entrance.
There is a dirt parking lot for lake access just across from the campground entrance, and the campground is a short <2 mile drive to the Crystal Lake trailhead where there are many options for day hikes. I would 100% stay here again!
We showed up Labor Day weekend. Almost every spot along the river was taken, but once you were in your camp you could hardly tell neighbors were around. We didn’t fish, but saw a couple of fly fishers catch 4 trout right in front of us.
I just returned from a 3 night stay at Whitney Reservoir and I think this may be my new favorite spot. Peaceful, beautiful…honestly words don’t describe. You access via FR032 off Mirror Lake Highway and go 7-8 miles. The road does get bumpy at times due to rocks and washboard. I was towing a Rpod with a Tacoma and it did fine. I just had to take it slow.
Great spot for fishing but not much else. The sites are okay but not a lot of daytime shade. The trail around the lake is okay but has several large fallen rocks in the way and has a very steep hill to continue around it. Overall, it’s okay.
Moon Lake Campground is a clean and modern campground on the shores of a beautiful high mountain lake. The spots can be a little close together, but they are well developed. The bathrooms are modern for a national forest campground with running water, electricity, flushing toilets and ventilation fans. The camp host did an excellent job of daily cleaning and stocking of the campground. Just feet outside the campground is a private resort with rustic cabins and a lodge. The lodge store provides basic necessities in the event you forgot something, as well as an ice cream bar with sundaes and soda on tap. The lodge provides rentals of kayaks and small fishing boats. It even has a taco truck out front. All around, our family ranks Moon Lake near the top of our favorite camping spots.
By luck we found this site online when looking for campgrounds in the mountains. First year we went in July and the nights were perfectly chilly (dog water had a layer of ice on top by the a.m.). The sun is very warm due to the altitude. Second year we went in August and it was perfect. We stay on the east side where there’s more trees. Lake is always full and perfect for kayaks and SUPs. There is water available near each bathroom but there is no water at the sites themselves. This is now our annual end-of-summer tradition. We’re heading back in August.
No camping in Flaming Gorge w 2-3 feet of snow still....so headed toward Vernal and remembered we had scoped this place out on a previous raft trip. Campsite 12 is beautiful and...we were the only ones here on a Friday!
Wow! We spent 3 nights at Dippy Cabin and what a fantastic place! Amazing views, private drive, mini fridge, and microwave. Full size bunk beds, porch, and grill. Absolutely fantastic.
Don't give this place your money. You can't even tent camp here for less than 55.00 per night. Just go another 8-9 miles down the highway to Steinaker where tent camping is 20.00 and RV sites with full hookups are around 35.00.
The scenery was lovely. Able to pull into the tent site with our Ford E150 no problems, basically no one else in the tent portion of the site (mostly in the RV section). Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table and chairs. Bathrooms were clean, water was hot.
This state park is great. They have trash, water and vault toilets. The sites are a bit closer than I typically like however it still has some privacy. They have various types of sites to choose from depending on what you need. I’ll definitely be back.
This was a great place to get away from the normal day to day. The lake is pretty low due to the drought, but we had a great time enjoying the water from the shore. We brought kayaks and paddleboards and the water was perfect. The campground was very clean including the bathrooms. We saw several deer throughout the day. There are a few hiking trails and they offer horse rides as well. The Moon Lake Lodge has some cabins that you can stay in and they have a nice little store that has some essentials there including ice cream. Lots of shade and trees for hammocks. The bugs were pretty bad. Gnats that would bite and leave some pretty big welts. Bring plenty of bug spray.
Stayed in space 7 in our 40ft Silver Eagle bus. This space is full sun so if you need ro charge solar this is great. 50amp and 30 Amp hookups. Will stay again
Pretty typical KOA. Bathhouses were clean but a bit worn. They were, however very adequate for the size of the camp. WiFi was better than usual. Some shade. We were in an overflow site with dirt pad but most sites seemed to be gravel. Bring earplugs, lots of road noise at least in the front of the park. If you want great steaks to grill try Unitah meats just down the road.
Water pressure is very low. There was some damage done by a guest to a water line, but the staff was on top of it and had it fixed in a timely manner. Grounds were clean.
Visited Whitney Reservoir during the 2nd weekend of July. The wildflowers were showing off all over the place! The reservoir actually looked quite full to me, it was beautiful. From what I could gather, I was expecting this area to be much more crowded than it actually was. It was not nearly as busy as I thought. My husband and I arrived late Friday morning and got a great spot near the water. Neighbors were about 50- yards away but coudn't see them from camp. Much more private than a typical campground. The main road was manageable through 638 (the road we stayed on) but got bumpier after that. Pulled a 18' camper and some spots were pretty rough. But I saw bigger campers get to the same area so it's doable. By the way Google maps shows 638 as a loop. It was NOT a loop. Maybe if the water was lower it would have been. We had to make a tight turn around to go back up the steep hill. I imagine it would be tough with a much bigger camper. Caught tiger and rainbow trout from shore both evenings but the mosquitos are bad!! Be prepared with DEET and/or a ThermaCELL. We saw tons of wildlife, including a moose swimming in the lake (one of the perks staying by the water! ) Overall, if you're looking for a beautiful getaway, this might be it! No service for the most part except for random spots here and there (at&t).
This campground is only a few blocks from downtown Vernal, but out of town enough for a rural feel. Some highway noise, but quiets down by nightfall. This campground had a good feel to it IMO. Not super large, but almost all the sites were pull through. I requested a spot by the bathroom/shower building & we got a patio site. Very nice site with a propane grill provided.
There are 3 bathroom/showers in the campground. One in the office building, one by the pool & one by the tent section. Bathrooms were clean. I used the laundry room without issues.
They had a couple of tipis, a woody tent (don't know what that is). 15 tent sites & cabins. The RV sites were basic KOA.- in a row & kind of close. We had no issues with WIFI. Staff was courteous& they had a lot of area information. I especially liked the day trips that were numbered. We camped at Vernal/ Dinosaurland KOA Holiday in a Travel Trailer.
