Meadow Hot Springs
Beautiful spot
Great spot for a day or two. The parking area has plenty or room would not recommend the last half mile of road its rough.
Sevier, Utah provides access to multiple mixed-use campgrounds set amid the scenic terrain of central Utah. Established options include the Sevier River RV Park with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins along the riverside, and the nearby Fremont Indian State Park featuring both Sam Stowe and Castle Rock campgrounds with amenities for various camping styles. The region includes several RV parks with full hookups, primitive tent sites near rivers and streams, and glamping opportunities at locations like Mystic Hot Springs approximately 20 miles northeast of Sevier. Campground options range from basic to fully-developed sites with varying levels of privacy and access to outdoor activities.
Seasonal considerations strongly influence camping experiences in this region. The higher elevation campgrounds like those at Fremont Indian State Park typically operate from April to October, though Sam Stowe Campground remains open year-round. Summer temperatures can be hot in the valleys while remaining comfortable at higher elevations. Many campgrounds provide electric hookups, which proves beneficial during extreme temperatures. Winter camping is limited and may require additional preparation for cold weather and potential snow. Cell service varies throughout the area, with better connectivity near towns and interstate corridors. A visitor noted, "There are signs in the campground warning of rattlesnakes and we did see one. It gave plenty of notice that we were too close."
Camping areas near Sevier offer diverse recreational opportunities and varying levels of development. Fremont Indian State Park provides access to hiking trails featuring ancient rock art and petroglyphs, with one camper describing it as "prettier than some national parks we've been to." Riverside camping options allow for fishing and water activities, particularly at Sevier River RV Park where trout fishing is reportedly productive. Some campgrounds like Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort offer proximity to whitewater rafting on the Sevier River. Several visitors mention wildlife viewing opportunities, including birds at park ponds and waterfowl along the river. RV campers should note that while most parks accommodate big rigs, site levelness varies considerably, as one reviewer cautioned that at Fremont Indian State Park, "even though it is large, it is unlevel and took 4 2x6 to level the trailer."

Great spot for a day or two. The parking area has plenty or room would not recommend the last half mile of road its rough.
Worthy of an overnight stop. Springs were busy during the day but fun.
We stayed here in April 2026. The expectations were low, but the return was high. First of all the gift shop is way cooler than you might guess for an RV stop. The check-in service was nice and efficient. Most of the spots are level, although where we were with slightly offkilter. Nevertheless, that did not deter us. It looked like it had a nice swimming pool in area for the kids to play and, believe it or not, the barbecue is actually not to be missed. I would’ve never guessed there would be a restaurant that good at an RV park in a small town, but we truly enjoyed it. The guacamole was fresh. The chicken was perfect and understand that the ribs are even better. The only thing I had to say about the park was the bathrooms were a bit dated in the showers were as well. That said, I gave it five stars because the barbecue was that good and it kept us from having to find another restaurant.
Personally, this is one of my favorite spots and an awesome spot at that. The views are incredible and excellent for photography or for simply admiring. I stayed here for the full 14 days, experiencing both good and bad weather; I still recommend it.
Road Quality
Average. Gravel/dirt road with some potholes and ruts; an everyday vehicle could get down the road with care. It's a single-lane road, not a lot of through traffic, except campers. Roads can get soft with rain or snow, especially the potholes and ruts. Be careful and keep an eye on the weather.
Site Quality
Average. Campsites appear to be level for the most part; they have fire rings, they’re a good distance away from one another, and they appear to be large enough to fit two, maybe three bus-sized RVs. Sites are mainly dirt and grass; ground can get soft with rain or snow. Be careful and keep an eye on the weather.
View Quality
Excellent. Snow-capped mountains surround you, with excellent sunrises and sunsets and amazing night skies when they're clear. Plenty of birdwatching and perhaps other wildlife if you're lucky!
Noise Quality
Depends. The campsites closer to the entrance will hear the highway, but it’s mostly white noise for those who do not mind. I imagine the further you go back, the less you’ll hear the highway. The occasional plane or helicopter will fly by at a low altitude. Lots of birds; you’ll mostly hear them in the mornings and evenings. Neighbors have been friendly and respectful, making little to no noise. Besides the highway, aircraft, and birds, it's a quiet spot.
Internet Quality
Excellent. Full bars on LTE. Although I imagine the further you go back, away from the highway, the fewer bars you’ll get.
Just few miles away from the interstate. Closer sites can hear some traffic. We went down a little ways and didn’t hear the road. Road would be awful if it rains- be aware!
This is a 50/50 spot; folks can be a problem. I recommend staying during the week or only for a few days. This is a popular spot for both locals and travelers alike, so expect folks and expect it to get crowded after work/school hours. The weekends are worse with folks messing around, being loud, shining flashlights in folks' vehicles, and partying till about 1am. Minus the occasional bad bunch and weekend folks, everyone else is generally respectful of others, kind, helpful, and just overall really outgoing.
Road Quality
Poor. The dirt roads in and around the hot springs are really bad. Massive potholes and ruts everywhere. You definitely need good clearance, a 4x4, or some mad skills. The entrance lot is tolerable compared to the rest of the roads leading to the hot springs, which are far worse. I imagine the roads are even worse when it rains; the ground can get soft. Be careful and watch the weather. The gravel road leading to the hot springs is in excellent condition; any vehicle can drive down it, but once you hit the last cattle guard into the hot springs area, slow down.
Site Quality
They’re okay. There aren't really sites, more like just parking somewhere where you aren't in the way of other people. There are some obvious dirt clearings, but you have to go through some rough dirt roads to get to them. It's definitely hard to find a good level spot here. I imagine the sites are even worse when it rains; the ground can get soft. Be careful and watch the weather.
View Quality
Good. Mountains to the east and plains to the west. Sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous. The night sky is okay; the town is too close for a good view of the stars. Plenty of bird watching and cattle watching.
Noise Quality
Average. It's a popular spot; it does get busy, and there is traffic throughout the day. Everything usually does quiet down towards the evening and usually stays quiet into the mornings; there are just the sounds of birds in the morning. But the occasionally bad bunch can and will definitely make it noisy.
Internet Quality
Average. Two to three bars on LTE.
The road is extremely Bumpy. Once you get off the main dirt road. So, anything low profile is going to drag in some of the dips, but the hot spring itself is well worth it. If you can make it with three different temperatures, three different size pools. Nice people, just enjoyable Hot Springs. And as stated, take trash with you to keep it cleaner than you found it.
Easy in and out, couple individual spots and a large area for about 4-5 good size rigs, all with four pits. we were in a 40 ft fver. Public restrooms but did not use.
Heard it was good fishing.
Elite dispersed camping, it is very convenient to the highway. But yet we parked behind a mound of gravel, and it helped block the noise and some of the view of the highway. It was very convenient from interstate 15. No rough roads. Very flat areas.

Access ATV trail systems: Many campgrounds connect directly to the Paiute ATV trail system. "There are access to the trails right from the campground and the owners are very knowledgeable about the trails that you should ride given the amount of time you are staying," explains a visitor at South Forty RV Park.
Hot springs access: Mystic Hot Springs offers unique soaking options in vintage bathtubs. "Great water, unique tubs built into the side of springs, crazy painted buses or old cabins to stay in. If your looking for different, fun, and awesome- this is a great place to check out," reports a visitor at Mystic Hot Springs.
Creekside camping: Multiple campgrounds feature sites alongside creeks, providing natural sound barriers and fishing access. "The creek runs near the sites and it's the perfect sound to lull you to sleep," explains an Adelaide Campground camper.
Well-maintained facilities: Despite remote locations, many campgrounds maintain clean facilities. "The campground is very nice. It is gravel with fire pits and tables. There are also tipis that can be rented," notes a Castle Rock Campground visitor.
Variable site conditions: Site quality and levelness vary considerably between and within campgrounds. "Sites are pretty private with trees blocking view of other people. There's a cute little creek and a nice trail in the back," reports a visitor at Castle Rock Campground.
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies throughout the region with many campgrounds having minimal or no service. "Verizon and T-Mobile service enough for hot spot and road is drivable for any rig," notes a recent Castle Rock camper.
Wildlife awareness: Several campgrounds have wildlife present including rattlesnakes in warmer months. "There are signs in the campground warning of rattlesnakes," one camper observed.
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds operate seasonally. "We stayed here during the off-season so it wasn't crowded at all," explains a Sevier River RV Park visitor.

Site selection considerations: Choose sites based on levelness and size requirements. "Sites are all very large pull throughs, so we would not have to unhook if we did not need the F250 to roam the area. The site is wide enough to park your tow vehicle next to your rig if you were so inclined," notes a visitor at Monroe Canyon RV Park.
Hookup availability: Most RV parks offer full hookups, but services vary. "The sites provide the basics like a parking space, picnic table, electrical & water hookup and firepit/grill," reports a Sam Stowe Campground visitor.
Access routes: Some campgrounds have easy highway access while others require navigation on gravel roads. "About 15 mins down a back road from the freeway (I-15). It is small but large open areas for kids and/or dogs to run and play," explains an Adelaide Campground visitor.
