"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. "

$31 - $48 / night

"We 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."
"Knowing 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!"
$256 / night
"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."
"The site we stayed at had many trees around to hang hammocks and also eat and picnic in the shade. There are brand new camp fires in all sites."

"Found a beautiful spot tucked away in the trees with a great view of the Timps. Continue exploring along the road for amazing panoramic views."
$28 - $205 / night
"I love how it is near a river. You can hear it at night. It's so nice to get to a cool area out of the hot valley and into the cool scenic back country of Utah county."
"While there are many campgrounds in Utah that rival it, this one is special because it's such a short drive after work."
$28 - $62 / night
"Really close to the Provo River for day activities."
"Nice overlooks nearby."
"Directions brought us right to the location. Road was rough into the sites and were hard to determine specific sites. Ended up pulling into edge of field. Definitely a good quiet night's sleep"
"Spent a few nights there, easy access to Saratoga Springs for water, dump, and groceries."
GuideI had to drive down to this campground because our camp hosts were staying here instead of at soapstone. As I drove through there’s plenty of shaded areas but the campsites looked small. If you have a tent bigger than a 4 person, check the site to make sure you won’t be hanging off the pad or at an angle.
GuideSpacious campsite but was next to the creek so the ground around the campsite was always damp. Not all campsites had that issue though. The camp hosts were staying 9 miles down the road at the time (June 11) so we had to backtrack to grab firewood from them. Buy your firewood in Kamas, it’s much cheaper and better burning.
GuideEach site has a lot of shrubbery that lends to a better sense of privacy. Kind of tight for trailers larger than 28’ to access, make sure you go the right direction on the one ways unless the hosts instruct to pull in backwards like we had to. Cool disc golf course and mountain biking trails cut through the campground. Be careful on trails, my fiancée had a run in with a wolf pup and my dog was thankfully on the leash at the time. Lots of cool wildlife!!
ScoutA lot of road noise and the 30amp electric did not work at our site, site 151. Front office was closed and no one returned our call when we called the number provided. Bathrooms are okay. Pools had very warm water on an already hot day… we decided to go swimming in nearby echo lake and wished we had reserved to camp there as we ended up dry camping anyway.
ScoutAlmost made it all the way in my outback wilderness, but a tree was felled and hung over the road low enough that my rooftop tent couldn't pass under. This was about a half mile away from the lake. Any taller vehicles wouldn't be able to make it up. Hiked the rest of the way and spent the day fishing. The trout were very active midday into the late afternoon. The only other people that came up were riding UTVs.
TravelerDecent sized spot. Enclosed by desert mountains. The water is more like a babbling brook than a stream. Great for kids and dogs to play in. Very few deep spots. Not really a fishing spot and if you were to catch it would be small. Very quiet spot with good views. Felt bad running my generator for a couple hours but needed ac as mid day hit. Sites are fairly level. However you will definitely need blocks if you bring a trailer/pull behind. Got the last site. Definitely get near the water and trees if you can.
ScoutWe love coming here! We are close to hiking and off-reading without the craziness off Mirror Lake Highway. Also, the kids love the pool and the basketball courts.
ScoutVery convenient to great recreation areas. The staff is fantastic and super helpful.
TravelerGreat off grid site - we are in Campervans - 20ft and they can easily get in here. There are bigger Caravans here as well. Nice group sized sites with camp-fires. Road in is nice and looks to be recently re-done. Lovely scenery.
