Best Campgrounds near Farmington, UT

My wife and I had a reservation , but cancelled it, because we drove up and found the restrooms were closed and porta potties installed.  It is beautiful up there, but the campground is not being taken care of.  We drove through it twice and it is overgrown, and not being taken care of.  Talk to some of the people who work there and there is was coming from the water spick its, but that was it.  I got an email this morning informing me to bring all of my water we need, as of now there is no water.  So I called up Rec.gov and cancelled and do to the factor that the bathrooms was closed, and absolutely no water I requested a full refund as this was not in the description when I booked it months ago.  I had to call campground concessionaire directly at(385) 273-1100, and they denied my refund fee because "Rules and Reservation Policies".  This reservation was cancelled because of the campground issues, not because I just wanted to.  I am not going to take my wife where she is not going to be comfortable, and with no bathrooms, and no water, what do you think this would be.  Pretty freaking sad.

We’re locals who stayed over Independence Day weekend.

Our South Dakota family surprised us with a visit here and though MANY places were booked this weekend we got a last minute spot across from our family— this place is very accommodating!

Valley View is almost across the street from Hill AFB — which could be good or bad depending on what you’d like but I bet this would be the best stay during the biennial air shows! It is also on the higher side of the valley so you get great views to the south.

The amenities are incredible and we had a blast enjoying the pool and doggy areas.

The one downside I had with this place was that other “campers” were rather dirty. There was dog mess left behind all over the doggy run and random spots all over the park. We also, unfortunately, got a spot with a dumpster in our “front yard,” and people would leave garbage hanging out of the bin or even pile it on the ground around the bin.

We’re in a 33’ bumper pull & a ram 2500 and fit very well into spot 120 but there were many rigs much larger than ours.

We couldn’t find any information on this campground and found out it’s only a month old, as of July 2025. Previously it was a tent only campground that was ruined by a flood several years ago. It’s now an RV campground with full hook-ups. The campground is very clean and fully functional. The views are fantastic, located on the east side of Jordanelle. The Provo river is runs to the side of the campground and we fished multiple times a day. There’s a launching bay to Jordanelle just a few minutes away. Everything was fantastic except for one uncontrollable thing. MOSQUITOS! I’ve camped in Utah my whole life and this was by far the worst mosquito situation we had. We are covered in hundreds of bites and are totally welted. We were forced to spend many hours in our RV to avoid them.

This campground is a weedy field right next to the interstate for $25. Sites are like parking at a music festival, little to no shade in the sites, no picnic tables in the sites, fire rings old burnt out cut barrels, and very little to no privacy at all. There is a communal picnic shade area but that is not my vibe when camping. I could see it working for a single desperate night for RVs but not for a extended stay. We ended up not staying because of the vibe and the sound of the interstate ( I couldn’t image sleeping in a tent there!) Drove up the road and got a Holiday Inn instead.
