$35 - $200 / night
"This isn't the prettiest lake. It is nice and big, but since it is one of the closest to Utah Valley and Salt Lake Valley, it gets a lot of traffic."
"We stayed at the "McHenry" campground in a spot right next to a creek. The traffic noise was a bit prevalent during the day because it's close to the highway. Great tent pad."
GuideGreat site near the river, not too many spaces fcfs on a Saturday night. Only downside was host wasn’t there to buy firewood from.
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.
TravelerThe sites are a little close and it is a very family friendly campground. It is a really fun campground though! We rode bikes and paddle boarded. Gets extremely busy on weekends but nice and quiet on the weekdays. Checked in on a Wednesday afternoon for FCFS site. Plenty open.
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.
