"Besides that, it’s nice that they allow pets."
"Being that we already live in southern Utah county, this place has become a go to for our family. Only about 45 mins away from Payson Ut. "
$31 - $48 / night
"It has lots of trees and a nice little walking trail. They are pet friendly. They have men's and women's restrooms with showers. They also have a pool for the warmer months."
"Lakeside was our home for 3 nights while we were in town for Provo’s annual Colonial Festival."
"The last time I camped there some folks buried their dead cat down by the water access. This seems to be somewhat common as there are two other pet graves located nearby."
"Directions brought us right to the location. Road was rough into the sites and were hard to determine specific sites. Ended up pulling into edge of field. Definitely a good quiet night's sleep"
$50 - $300 / night
"We stayed at the Springville/ Provo Utah KOA in September 2021. This is a full service KOA with nice FHU 50 amp pull-thru sites which were long, wide and level."
"Knowing that this would be more of a "city" KOA, we were prepared for the tight sites but the view of the mountains and access to hot springs, food, gas, etc. is well worth it!"
$26 - $29 / night
"Unreal location, and the lake is beautiful."
$50 - $100 / night
"Gorgeous view across the lake. Quiet. Electricity worked well. Extremely clean. Camp hosts were nowhere to be found and another rig had claimed the end lake-adjacent site I paid for."
"This my 3 stay here at Utah Lake state park. 2x in July and now in September. I’m a single female traveler."

"We enjoyed seeing deer walk through our camp daily. About 15-20 minutes from Payson City."
"Access to lots of pretty places to run around and explore. Great places for kids to play. Lots of tall pine trees. I definitely recommend!"
"As beautiful as the view was, I felt it was ruined with all of the trash that people have left behind in the dispersed camping area as well as along the lakeshore."
"Can be a bit windy some days but nice spread out area with beautiful views of mountains and Utah lake."
GuideThis place is very cute for established camping. It has lots of trees and a nice little walking trail. They are pet friendly. They have men's and women's restrooms with showers. They also have a pool for the warmer months. There are 2 small dog parks one for large and one for small dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
We stayed in a back in spot which was very spacious and we had a good distance from our neighbor.
They have designated tent camping area. If you are tent camping they do not allow you to have pets.
Only downside is you are directly next to the Provo airport which did get active around 6 am.
TravelerI didn't give Miner's Canyon five stars because of the excessive trash dumping that occurs at the sites. Otherwise it is a very enjoyable campsite. Spacious enough that your neighbors are distant, and quiet for the most part. Larger RVs occasionally run generators which can be noisy. The last time I camped there some folks buried their dead cat down by the water access. This seems to be somewhat common as there are two other pet graves located nearby. This dispersed camp is definitely haunted by house pets.
TravelerThis spacious RV park has two pools (one limited to adults only), two dog parks (one large enough for big dogs to run and fetch), two sets of pickle ball courts and is spacious and level and nice/ oh, my.
The staff are friendly and lead you to your RV site (and actually collected and filled and delivered our propane tanks). They have a few cabins but are mostly laid out for newer RVs. They ask the age and type when making reservations. Good Sam discounts apply. This is a very nice “the only 5 star “ RV Park in Utah.
TravelerAwesome 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
LegendOne 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.
RangerThis was a great place to stay! Had 3 different pools/hot tubs and the pools are heated so they arent freezing. Nice laundry and bathrooms as well. We had a back in site at the end of the row and there was a large grass area and fire pit that was great! Had a large dog park and pickle ball courts too!
GuideFound this spot last minute. It's fancy. Way fancier than we usually pick, but the price was right. It was full when we arrived on a Saturday. But thinned out later in the week I really enjoyed the split between the folks with kids and those without. 3 pools and hot tubs...2 for the 21+ only crowd. There are tons of clean bathrooms woth showers and 3 clubhouses. 2 dog parks...one was HUGE!! Dogs loved it. Views are amazing. It was honestly kind if refreshing to stay in a resort.
GuideWe 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.
LegendIf I could give it more stars I would, 5+++++. We have stayed at many campgrounds around the country and this is by far the best! Amazing staff, beautiful meticulous clean grounds and facilities, which are plentiful as well. Huge level concrete sites, with privacy bushes between, awesome hook ups, WiFi and cable. Trash pick up, huge dog parks, which are best we've seen. We have paid twice as much for far less. The scenery from the campground is breathtaking. I am writing this sitting at the heated pool looking at snow covered mountains. The town of Heber is so quaint and nice. 20 min to Provo and BYU, 25 min to Park City, and 50 min to Salt Lake City. We will definitely have to make this place a stop on our next westward trip. LOVE IT HERE.
