Most sites feature comfortable bedding, private spaces, and varying levels of luxury, from simple yurts to fully-appointed glamping tents with kitchenettes. "I love this place! Moose frequent the campground. Flushing toilets, garbage collection, water spigots. A short hike to donut falls," shared one visitor about their glamping experience.
River's Edge at Heber Valley features cabin glamping accommodations with fifty-amp electric hookups, sewer connections, and hot showers—amenities rarely found at standard campgrounds.

Glamping yurts at Spruces Campground and elsewhere provide protection from summer heat with ample shade and cooling mountain breezes. As one guest noted, "We went on many different hikes right from the campground and a few others not far away. We saw moose, went fishing, and even stopped for icecream at stone hass in the solitude village right up the street."

LegendOne of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.
They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.
Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.
LegendThis is a great place to pitch a tent or come up and stay for the day. The only bad part about this camp site is all the highway noise. It is close to the Provo river and there is lots of shade so that is nice. Great place to have a camp fire and cook some S'mores. The bike path is close so bring your long board or bike and go for a ride. This is withing walking distance from Bridal Vail Falls so that is a great day hike and see the falls. Also great fly fishing in the Provo river so do yourself a favor and bring your fishing gear.
ScoutQuite area, lot of room. I stayed on site 58 (tent only). Enough room for 2 medium tents. Next/above stream. Tucked in very back. Long ways to walk from car. Water spout next to car area. Will be sharing parking with 2 other sites. 2 lakes nearby. Fire pit with grill gate. Shaded area. Full sun from 10am-4pm.
GuideWe only stayed at Mountain View for one night while passing through, but we enjoyed our stay. The office staff was super friendly. Mark came out on a cart to usher us to our site. He was helpful and provided wonderful advice for the rest of our trip in Utah (Moab). The sites are a bit close, but the campground was quiet and clean.
Our girls enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The laundry facilities were nice and even had a designated machine for pet laundry. The restrooms and showers were private and clean. The water pressure was high and temp was hot. There was a beautiful fire pit near the pool along with pickle ball and basketball courts.
This facility is near the highway but the road noise wasn’t a problem for us.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
TravelerOverall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups.
All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.
A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

ScoutMy family of five enjoyed this campground. We got a site with access to the river which my kids really enjoyed. There was a fun giant "sliding rock" in the area to climb on. Lots of trees for hammocks. Downside is it's right next to a busy highway and picnic areas. Although the campsite has quiet hours, the picnic area across the street stayed loud well past quiet hours. The road noise was a lot more than I expected.. especially at night. Definitely bring ear plugs or plan to stay only a nite or two. We planned on staying three nights, but were so exhausted by lack of sleep we left a day early.
GuideI got a site right by the creek. Set up my hammock and listen to the running water.
Only negative is the site is off the main canyon road and there is some traffic noise during the day.
LegendThis is a fun place to stay when you want to go someplace close. There are lots of trees for the summer months and lots of shade. There are a couple good beaches. This is Utah's biggest fresh water lake. There are lots, and lot of bug so bring bug spray.
Awesome mountain views. Good fishing in the Provo river or lake fishing. You can build a fire and get firewood from camp host. There is full hook ups and also spots for a tent. Most spots have a pavilion and nice tables. Great bathrooms with running water. I can't remember which spot we stayed at but they are were really nice.
Mounthaven camping offers rustic and developed options throughout the Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest area at elevations between 6,400-7,400 feet. Seasonal restrictions apply to most sites, with typical operating seasons running from late May through mid-October. Winter access exists in limited locations for hardy campers willing to snowshoe to certain sites.
Fishing access points: Several reservoirs and streams offer fishing within a short drive of camp. "We were able to paddle board which was a blast! I loves being so close and having access to so many beautiful hikes and Rick climbing. We were right next to a beautiful river," shared one visitor about Granite Flat Campground.
Waterfall hunting: Trails near campgrounds lead to seasonal cascades. At Little Mill, one camper noted, "Great relaxing family time, fishing on river close, close to tribble fork and silver lakes." The campground provides direct access to popular waterfalls in American Fork Canyon.
Off-season adventures: Winter camping opportunities exist for prepared visitors. "Wonderful winter wonder land you can snowshoe into in the winter and camp at! You can also stay here during the summer just be prepared to book a couple months in advance," reports one visitor about backcountry winter camping options.
Wildlife encounters: Moose and deer frequently visit several campgrounds. At Redman Campground, one camper observed, "Wildlife abounds! Very nice campground with water running in multiple places, clean multiple bathrooms and incredible wildlife coming right into your site. In Addison to numerous deer, we had two moose munching away at the willow at the adjacent site."
River sites: Campsites alongside streams provide natural white noise. "The river that runs alongside is really pretty and if you cross the road there's a larger river and a trail where dogs can go off leash," notes a visitor to River's Edge at Heber Valley.
Mountain breezes: Higher elevation camps offer relief from summer heat. "Very large space. We fit a lot people there (only one tent) we were able to wake up and get on the trail and hike up to the glacier and camp," shared a camper at Mt. Timpanogos regarding the cooler temperatures at elevation compared to the valley.
Reservation requirements: Most popular sites fill months in advance. A Twin Coves visitor advised, "Be aware of your travel plans and book early because the campground fills fast." Weekend availability becomes particularly scarce from June through August.
Pet restrictions: Some watersheds prohibit dogs entirely. "We had planned to camp here but dogs are not allowed. This campground looked like an awesome spot, location is right off the hwy close to Solitude and trails," noted one visitor about camping options in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Elevation considerations: High camps require appropriate gear for cold nights. "The elevation is about 6400 ft- so no spring camping. Book EARLY! This campsite is always full," explained a camper regarding temperature variations that can drop below freezing even in summer months.
Easy access options: Some sites accommodate young children better than others. At Nunns Park, one camper reported, "This is one of the closest campgrounds to Provo. It is quick and easy for the kind of trip to just get away but it won't feel like you are backwoods because of the smallness of the park and closeness to a very busy highway through Provo Canyon."
Play areas: Look for campgrounds with open spaces for activities. "Lots of area on some of them though for multiple tents. The river is right there and makes some beautiful yet subtle white noise," noted a family camper at Nunns Park about the layout.
First-time options: Beginner-friendly sites provide a gentler introduction. "We live in the Valley but need a getaway for a weekend and this was perfect. Not only was it less than 20 min from our house we felt as if we were lost in the wilderness," shared a local about discovering easy glamping options near Mounthaven.
Site selection: Check reviews for level sites with adequate space. At Timpooneke, a visitor observed, "The campground is well maintained and nestled into some nice pine trees in view of the backside of Mount Timpanogos, it is divided into 3 areas, one of which has horse corrals."
Size restrictions: Some campgrounds cannot accommodate larger vehicles. "Not really a bad site in the campground. However it fills up fast and is about impossible to get a site on the weekend without a reservation," noted a camper about the limited availability for RVs at certain locations.
Hookup availability: Most forest service campgrounds lack electrical connections. For those seeking glamping in Mounthaven with full hookups, options like River's Edge provide "nice place with trees and large play areas for kids. Rv spaces kinda closely packed but still big enough to get our awning out. Camp sits at the base of the dam."
