    Mountain Shadows RV Park

    Perfect overnight stay for us

    Canyon View RV Park

    Just a parking lot, but in a beautiful park/awesome walk/bike trail!

    First come, first serve, dump station on site(back of parking lot), friendly camphost; great access to an awesome bike/walk trail, close to town& Walmart 

    SITE: Water and Electricity only and all amenities worked great. All sites are back in and spaced in a large parking lot. Picnic table per site in the shade under the trees by your site; level site; all concrete; the sites are close together, but it wasn't full so the RVers thoughtfully spaced out from each other; full sun

    CELL SERVICE: AT&T worked great- not all bars but it worked well for use working remote and no issues with video calls using our hotspot. 

    OTHER: Located on the edge of Canyon View Park. The park had just closed as they prep for their annual Christmas light show, but you could still walk on the trail through the park to access the main bike/walk trail which was awesome and goes on for many miles! We loved using this everyday we were there. Bathroom in the park was really clean. Dump station is in the parking lot(super convenient) on the back side. It was super gusty, windy at night and consistent every night from about 11pm- 10am. Maybe it's just seasonal? Make sure your awning is in!

    Washington Lake Campground

    A very popular, family friendly, beautiful campground.

    We stayed for 7 nights (the limit) in August of 2023. It's all paved, asphalt road and concrete pad for picnic table. Very beautiful setting with the large lake and mountains surrounding. Fishing-yes! Hand powered boating, hiking trails and lots of other lakes to explore. 

    There no water available but you can fill your RV, Trailer or whatever at the entrance to the Lost Creek CG which is about 3 miles east on Hwy 150. No Dump station, nearest being in Kamas.

    Seems to be a popular place for local (SLC) families to gather. Family friendly so lots of kids. Quiet time 10PM to 6AM.

    Dry Hollow Campground — Echo State Park

    Right by the lake

    We are at a spot that is on a cement loop (#1) which was unlevel and it is not next to the lake but closer to the road (which is not too busy) but a view of the lake. You get a nice covered pavilion with a steel picnic table and fire ring with grate for grilling. The camp host was very sweet. Most of the sites are pull through and accommodates big rigs very well. The park managers keep it clean.

    Chokecherry Campground — Deer Creek State Park

    Decent state park

    Camped here last minute while driving through. Well-run, easy check in, reasonably priced.

    There are both primitive tent and RV sites with hookups. Small to large sites, back-in and a few pull through. Lots of trees and lilac bushes offer some privacy.

    Fire rings, plus BBQ grills, picnic tables at each site. Centrally located bathrooms were clean. Water, trash and dump station by entrance.

    The campground is on an incline so there are decent views of the reservoir from just about anywhere and the mountain backdrop to the east. Small but clean beach. There was also ziplining and kayak rentals at the state park but both were closed due to COVID.

    Would camp here again.

    Lodgepole Campground

    Lodgepole Campground - Group Site B

    Nice basic campground just coming out of Heber City, UT on your way to Strawberry Reservoir. This is a fairly large campground with numerous sites. The group site parking was shallow. We could barely fit our 19 ft travel trailer and our truck. Outside of the group site it appears there are deeper sites that could accommodate a long fifth wheel. Parking space is wide enough to park another car next to trailer. There are a few tent sites as around the group site pavilion.

    No hookups for RV’s. Dump station on site for $10 fee. RV spots are back in only. There is running water and flushable toilets on site; however, the water line was under repair and not turned on during our stay. It sounds like the repairs have been going on for a long time.

    There is cellular service, but it’s a little slow. I have sprint carrier and had service.

    Negatives: The campground is close a highway incline/decline which is frequented by Semi’s which bring lots of noise to the campground throughout the day and into the night.

    Stinging Nettle: lots of stinging nettle located around group site B, so stay on the paths as much as possible.

    Hill AFB FamCamp

    Cute little spot

    Great amenities, dog park, showers, laundry. Stayed here long term a couple times and it’s always a great stay! Close to the park, splash pad, and track. Hosts are pleasant. A little close together but good for being on base.

Ambient noise factors: Environmental sounds affect different properties. "Even though this campground was tight & busy, it was incredibly quiet and peaceful," writes a Riverside RV Resort visitor.

A Mountain Valley RV Resort visitor explains, "There is an adult only section if you're looking for peace and quiet away from kids." Another confirms, "Now they have opened a new section for adults only, with its own separate 21 and over facilities."

Tips from RVers

Arrival timing: Planning arrival schedules affects site selection. "Challenging back-in for our 30' ft travel trailer. Very cramped spot. Fortunately, we arrived before neighbors on both side did," reports a visitor to Mountain Shadows RV Park. Another RVer at Knotty Pine RV Resort notes, "Most sites were level, however 62 was NOT! Sites were fairly close but not on top of each other."

At Lakeside RV Campground, "The facility was clean and the camp staff were friendly and observing COVID-19 mask mandates."

Seasonal reservation requirements: Booking patterns fluctuate throughout the year. A visitor to Echo Island RV Resort shares, "Reserved a few hours before arriving on a Sunday in June and there were plenty of spots."
