The area experiences distinct seasons with hot, dry summers reaching 90-100°F and cold winters with occasional snow, particularly in higher elevations. Most campgrounds maintain full hookup operations year-round, though specific amenity availability often changes seasonally.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Echo Island RV Resort in Coalville has a small pond for kids to fish in, along with a nearby creek. "This is such a pretty and accommodating place to stay. They had a small pond for kids to fish in, two swimming pools and two hot tubs," noted Carlee G. who visited Echo Island RV Resort.
Trail access: Many campgrounds provide direct access to walking and biking trails. At Lakeside RV Campground, campers can enjoy the nearby river trail. "There is a beautiful running/walking trail along the river directly behind the RV park," reported Christine after her stay at Lakeside RV Campground.
Off-season activities: Winter camping options exist at several year-round facilities. "We stayed in one of the cabins over the winter. Beautiful and cozy cabin with an absolutely stunning view of Mount Timpanagos," shared Matt T. about his experience at Mountain Valley RV Resort.
Golfing access: Some RV parks are situated near or on golf courses. "Nice, new RV park on golf course. FHU. Good data on Verizon. No other facilities. Lively soft grass on most sites," reported Kevin H. about his stay at Gladstan Golf Course & RV Park.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many reviews highlight the cleanliness of shower and bathroom facilities. "The restrooms and showers were private and clean. The water pressure was high and temp was hot," noted Chris G. about Mountain Valley RV Resort.
Specialized dog amenities: Several campgrounds feature dedicated pet areas. "Three dog parks, one for large and one for small dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful," reported Erin A. about Lakeside RV Campground. Another camper at Pony Express RV Resort mentioned, "Very clean and pet friendly. Can see mountains all around you. Three dog parks and dog washing bay."
Recreation facilities: Pools and recreational areas receive frequent positive mentions. "The facilities are very new and always clean, nice big private restrooms with showers, two laundry facilities, two hot tubs and two pools, basketball and other gaming courts, BBQs and fire pits," shared Zoe M. about her extended stay at Mountain Valley RV Resort.
Scenic settings: Campers appreciate spots with natural features. "Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived," wrote Carlyne F. "There is an adult only section if you're looking for peace and quiet away from kids."
What you should know
Spacing considerations: Site spacing varies considerably between campgrounds. "The RV sites are pretty close together, but there are spaces with shade trees," reported Steven M. about Lakeside RV Campground. At Canyon View RV Park, a camper noted, "Canyon View RV Park is a long parking lot with 15-20 water and electric hookups and dump station. The sites (back in) are on one side, car (tows) are parked on the other."
Seasonal pricing: Rates fluctuate based on season and hookup requirements. "Instead of the agreed $45/night, it was $70/night! The reason I was given was because the water was not working in the less expensive site," reported one frustrated camper at Mountain Shadows RV Park.
Highway noise: Several campgrounds are located near major highways. "Located right off I80 so be prepared for the noise. Spots are long but very narrow," warned Madeline S. about Park City RV Resort. Another visitor noted that at one resort "you're right on the road, so I'm sure noise can be a factor."
Limited amenities at some parks: Not all facilities offer full services. "There aren't any showers or restrooms for the campers," mentioned Kelly N. about Gladstan Golf Course & RV Park. Another camper added, "The spots are not level, and the water pressure is high. Make sure you have a water regulator."
Tips for camping with families
Pool restrictions: Family-friendly pools often have specific operating hours. "Pool was busy but closes at 6pm, there is a tent camping and picnic area adjacent to the pool," reported Abner H. about Mountain Shadows RV Park.
Adult-only sections: Several parks offer separated adult areas. "Now they have opened a new section for adults only, with its own separate 21 and over facilities," mentioned Cindy H. about Mountain Valley RV Resort. At another campground, "There's a section that is for adults 21 and older where children are not allowed."
Play equipment: Many parks maintain dedicated children's areas. "This would be a great place for kids because there's plenty of space for them to ride bikes, play basketball, swim, and also a playground," noted Sheila B.
Activity rentals: Some facilities provide recreational equipment. "We were also able to rent a Razor UTV on site and took a mapped out 4 hr drive through our beautiful mountains, straight out of the campground," shared Cindy H.
Tips from RVers
Utility management: Several campgrounds have specific hookup limitations. "Water is split between 2 RV's cutting water pressure down to below 20psi. The 'dump station' is at the end of the second parking area and can not be used by pulling your RV up to it, you must have a tote to use," warned Madeline S. about Canyon View RV Park.
Arrival timing: Weekends fill quickly at popular sites while weekdays offer more space. "We were treated like royalty by the staff. The facility had wonderful laundry and bathrooms," reported Joh about Mountain Shadows RV Park. Another visitor observed, "The place was emptier on the weekdays and filled-up on the weekends."
Level site selection: Request specific sites when possible as some have leveling issues. "We ended up with the crappiest location, but I'd still rate these grounds 4 stars," noted kristin S. about her campground experience. Another RVer specifically mentioned, "Make sure to follow the instructions to get to the RV park or else you'll end up driving your rig through a tiny parking lot to turn around."
Reservation requirements: During peak seasons, advance booking is essential. "We booked only about a week ahead of time, so we knew we wouldn't have one of the better plots," shared a camper about their experience at Park City RV Resort.
