GuideI tent camped in the Great Horned Owl section which does not have hookups, though other sections did for a higher price. There were RVs in the same section and that blocked the views for a lot of the tent sites. I was charged an additional $15 just to have an additional car which I thought was pretty crazy. There are warm showers and reservoir access for boats included (I took my paddle board out and the water was pretty rough but fun) but $40 is a lot for a tent site this close to neighbors with generators who block the views.
GuideNice campground with plenty of group and individual sites. They have single, double, and group campgrounds. I camped in a tent spot (48) and had a ton of privacy.
No first come first sites, however, 4 days before all sites become fcfs if not taken.
Nice flush toilet bathroom. Gates close at 10 pm
GuideThe area is so pretty! We tent camped in the Great Horned Owl loop and it was a well kept and tidy. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The sites are a bit close together but that could be a bonus for small groups that want to be near to each other. The day use parking lot is adjacent to sites 20 and 21. Read the descriptions when you book if you are tent camping, not all the sites are suitable for it. Site 20 was okay, but our tent ended up having to be on slight slope. We might try site 4 when the weather is cooler since it was a little more flat for tent camping, but it didn’t have much shade. The flush bathrooms were clean and the showers warm and convenient.
TravelerLoved this site, cost $40 to tent camp. Bathrooms were very clean and site was great!
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.
TravelerNice grassy area for tent camping, small river that runs through the campsite. Small shop on site along with showers, bathrooms and laundry.
TravelerGreat family place , large tent sites , bathroom , beautiful views, and clean water .
GuideThis place is very cute for established camping. It has lots of trees and a nice little walking trail. They are pet friendly. They have men's and women's restrooms with showers. They also have a pool for the warmer months. There are 2 small dog parks one for large and one for small dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
We stayed in a back in spot which was very spacious and we had a good distance from our neighbor.
They have designated tent camping area. If you are tent camping they do not allow you to have pets.
Only downside is you are directly next to the Provo airport which did get active around 6 am.
TravelerTent camped here in early August. Appreciated the large shady trees and relatively private camping sites. Great camp host! Well maintained. Would definitely stay here again.
