    Hailstone - Upper Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Immaculately maintained campground

    We stayed for only one night, but I would come back here in a heartbeat! Big, clean bathrooms with running water, mirrors, flushing toilets, & hot showers. Gorgeous view of the lake - you can walk right down to the water from your site. Super friendly staff. Tent pads are all level and maintained after each camper. Has all the other essentials- clean picnic table, big clean fire pit, and a charcoal grill.

    Mountain Valley RV Resort

    Mountain Valley RV Resort, Utah

    One of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.

    They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.

    Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.

    Tanners Flat

    Good location for exploring Wasatch Mountains and Salt Lake City

    You really need to know this: No dogs are allowed because this campground is in the Salt Lake City watershed.

    And this: As inviting as the water running through the campground may look, you are not allowed to swim, wade or wash in it.

    One more thing: Gate closes at 10 pm although that didn't stop some partiers at the next site in from us. They partied and left around 11 or so. There was no payment tag on the post. The exit is open but has tire shredders if you enter over them.

    A pleasant surprise at a Forest Service campground: 10 lbs of ice for $2! (There was also the usual bundle of firewood for $6.)

    An unpleasant surprise: Old, dirty bathrooms. I've seen cleaner vault toilets elsewhere than these flush toilets.

    There is no water for now (July 2018) in bathroom sinks or at spigots. The host said something about a pipe issue and water needing to be tested. That covers the amenities other than dumpsters.

    What about the sites? We arrived on a Sunday morning when the host was putting up signs indictating which sites were reserved. We had 3 possible sites among 1 through 19 and grabbed #9, a pull through site with a buffer between the road in the parking/small RV area.

    Sites in the other area (higher numbers) were becoming available, but that area's host said many of the sites were only appropriate for tents.

    Our site #9: There are a few steps down to the picnic table, fire ring and grill plus a separate area to the left for a tent. See photos.

    General site info:

    • Some sites have a concrete pad for the picnic table, etc.

    • Many sites have an area for the tent that is away from the picnic table and concealed from the road.

    Mountain Valley RV Resort

    Clean and Cozy

    We only stayed at Mountain View for one night while passing through, but we enjoyed our stay. The office staff was super friendly. Mark came out on a cart to usher us to our site. He was helpful and provided wonderful advice for the rest of our trip in Utah (Moab). The sites are a bit close, but the campground was quiet and clean.

    Our girls enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The laundry facilities were nice and even had a designated machine for pet laundry. The restrooms and showers were private and clean. The water pressure was high and temp was hot. There was a beautiful fire pit near the pool along with pickle ball and basketball courts.

    This facility is near the highway but the road noise wasn’t a problem for us.

    We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Hailstone - Upper Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Great camping spot!

    The state park was great! The campsite was great! Very clean and well kept! Also dog friendly,, so that was good, they had a doggy poop bag station by the the people bathroom! We stayed in D Loop close to the water! Our spot had a cement pad with a picnic table, a fire ring, a grill! The tent pad was nice! The bathrooms were close and very well kept! They were cleaned every day! The showers were nice and there were several of them! The only negative thing was it was close to the highway so we could hear the cars driving at night!

    Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

    Great Weekend Getaway

    Awesome first camp of the year. Booked as soon as the state parks opened back up. Place really gave that “middle of nowhere feel”, lake and surrounding area were beautiful. Campsites were simple and bathrooms were nice. Only issue we had was we accidentally booked a site without electric. Could’ve been more clear on website, but also likely a rookie mistake being our first camp in Utah

    Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

    Much nicer than beach camping

    The campground is spacious, has showers, running water bathrooms, fire pits, cement pads and pavilions. Great place to camp- much better than being on the beach- due to the wind! Yuba beach is always windy and the oasis campground gives some reprieve

    Hailstone - Wasatch Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Our favorite MTB hub near Park City

    Jordanelle resevoir is a destination of its own but is a 10 minute drive from Park City. Clean bathrooms and showers make this a great place to camp if you are doing water or mountain sports. The campsites have tables, fire pit and bbq and are kept very clean. There are clear paths to the facilities and there is also a few laundry machines and a playground. You can rent boats and sup at the Marina, which also has a general store. Keep in mind that summers can get pretty warm (yet arid) qnd there isnt much shade.


Guide to Santaquin

Camping cabins near Santaquin, Utah sit at elevations between 4,700-7,500 feet, offering both desert valley and alpine mountain experiences depending on location. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer daytime temperatures reaching 85-95°F and winter temperatures frequently dropping below freezing. Snow typically covers the higher elevation cabin sites from November through April, affecting accessibility and requiring advance planning.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Multiple cabin locations provide access to fishing areas including Yuba State Park, where anglers can target northern pike, walleye, yellow perch, wiper, and catfish year-round. According to one visitor at Oasis Campground, "Great place if you just want to get away. Had the whole lake to myself."

Off-road trail exploration: Cabin campers at Manti - La Sal KOA can access direct routes to ATV trails. "We were able to ride our side by side from this location right onto the Arapeen trail. The main office will give you a simple map on how to get there and they also sell the trail maps for $10.50," reports a camper.

Winter recreation: Several cabin locations remain open year-round for winter sports access. The Hailstone - Upper Fisher Campground provides cabins with proximity to Park City skiing, as one visitor noted: "Great campsite... nice amenities for a State Park... great access to Park City."

What campers like

Private cabin sites: Some locations offer more secluded cabin options with reduced noise and fewer neighbors. A visitor at Little Valley Campground mentioned, "Loved this place will definitely go back. Spacious and not too crowded. Lots of hiking spots!"

Swimming facilities: Multiple cabin locations include swimming access, either at pools or beach areas. A camper at Mountain Valley RV Resort highlighted, "Our girls enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The laundry facilities were nice and even had a designated machine for pet laundry."

Clean facilities: Cabin users consistently mention facility cleanliness as a positive aspect at locations like Pine Creek Campground. According to one visitor, "Very clean place with restrooms and showers. The space was huge."

What you should know

Campground elevation differences: Cabin elevations vary significantly between valley and mountain locations, affecting temperatures and seasons. At Tanners Flat, located at higher elevation, a visitor advises: "September/early October gives cooler temperatures and less crowds, and we got to see some lovely fall colors."

Reservation requirements: Most cabin sites require advance booking, especially during summer. Springville/Provo KOA Holiday fills quickly, with one visitor noting, "We stayed here as a brief stop over to wash some clothes and to get back to civilization for a few days. The place had friendly staff and was clean."

Pet restrictions: Not all cabin locations permit pets. Payson Lakes Guard Station and several other forest service cabins prohibit pets entirely, while others have designated pet areas or require additional fees.

Winter access limitations: Higher elevation cabins may have limited or no winter road access. Contact rangers for current road conditions during winter months before booking cabins above 7,000 feet.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Select cabins with specific family facilities. A visitor at Springville / Provo KOA Holiday shared, "Had some fun things for kids like a pool and a bowling alley."

Space considerations: Family cabins vary significantly in size and sleeping arrangements. When booking cabins for larger families, confirm bed configurations and maximum occupancy limits in advance.

Noise awareness: Some cabin locations experience significant traffic or seasonal noise. According to one visitor, "Road noise, train noise, small spaces, long term neighbors" were challenges at their stay, suggesting families with light sleepers should request cabins away from main roads.

Temperature planning: Family cabin trips require seasonal preparation. Summer cabin stays at lower elevations can exceed 90°F during daytime hours, while higher elevation cabins may require warm clothing even in summer months when nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Some cabin areas have unlevel terrain that affects both cabin placement and adjacent RV parking. A visitor at Pine Creek Campground noted, "Narrow loop roads with mature trees at that time not well-trimmed. My 30' TT was perched with some effort on top of a pull-through that was a mound rather than flat."

Hook-up considerations: When booking cabins with adjacent RV parking, confirm power ratings. One RVer commented, "Only issue we had was we accidentally booked a site without electric. Could've been more clear on website."

Seasonal availability: Not all cabin locations operate year-round. A camper at Oasis Campground recommended: "Nice little campground close to I-15, stayed here in June 2021 quiet comfortable night."
