Guide
I've been here in the summer and winter. Stayed in one of their buses and camped. Both times have been fun experiences. The camping here isn't for everyone, but if you read up ahead of time, you won't be disappointed. The showers are functional, though not private(gender separate facilities but no individual shower spaces). The scenery and hot springs make up for that. We were also told a lot of changes and upgrades were in the works.

Wonderful place to stay, convenient location, and quiet.
ScoutThis campground has lots of things to offer, fun for the whole family including our furbabies.
Ranger
No room in RV site for tent so moved to grassy tent site. Most sites appear to be occupied by long term rentals. Host was very friendly and helpful in accommodating my needs.
ScoutVery clean restrooms, relatively quiet, well maintained.

Large campgrounds in area including this one. Camped in September (Doctor Creek CG up road was closed). Quiet, clean. End of tourist season and so couple of nearby stores were selling out their ice cream--Got giant couple of scoops in a bowl. For water/boaters & fishing, mainly, typically sold out during summer. Sites go in rows inching up-slope and some have nice views of lake.

Stayed 6/1-4 in space 9. Very shady campground and campsite. Creek runs thru but not by this site. Only 1 vault toilet for the family campground, so walked over to Group site toilets which were cleaner. One trail out of camp to Rock Canyon but it was fairly steep and rocky so didn't do much of it. Did walk up and down paved road into camp and then on dirt roads off main road that had a few FCFS dry camp pull out areas along the creek. Campsites well spaced many with good views of valley or the red rock cliffs. No ATVs allowed in campground. Spaces 15 and 20 were also good, 10 is double size but same price with large drive and nice views to red cliffs. Camp host unobtrusive.
Would be great during fall colors. Saw some bear scat on trail closer to I-70
Traveler
Just needed to find a place for the night and this was perfect! No one around, huge site, beautiful views and free! Cows meander around the campsite..didn't bother us. If you go past where the directions take you, there are 3 or 4 spots that are also nice. Road is easy to travel.
ScoutThe camping is funky but functional. And overpriced. You pay per person not per vehicle.
Traveler
The previous review said there were trash cans, however the is only one. It is location inside the volt toilet. The previous review also stated that this camp ground was close too the green county fairgrounds, but its name is the Beaver county camp grounds. Besides the one trash can, there are no water facilities and a weak Verizon service. The litter is Unbearable, both at the camp ground as well as the Beaver county fair grounds. You would think that the locals don’t have a very high regard for them selfs. I will pickup trash around my campsite but it won’t hardly matter I bet. “Please prove me wrong”
Ranger
This campground has like 5 spots. A short walk to amazing views. Pit toilet and that is all. The campground was clean - people have done a really good job of packing out their trash. The road in and out requires high clearance for sure. I would not do it with 2WD or AWD. It is worth it if you have a capable vehicle.
GuideGreat spot for a stay overnight! Although there isn’t water, there is a clean outhouse to use.
We loved the spot we had which was equipped with a picnic table and fire ring (all sites have this).
The views from being so high up are great. That being said the wind can get a little crazy at night so roll up those awnings before bed.
Road in is a little bumpy (we came from Highway 72) but it was a beautiful drive.
Guide
We spent 3 nights here right along the reservoir and it was great. Although it was “busy” there was plenty of space between us an our neighbours.
We rock a rooftop tent so it was easy to level. Bugs were minimal during the day. Mosquitos ramp up at night but they didn’t seem to want anything to do with us.
Saw plenty of people fishing during the day.
There are washrooms nearby but they aren’t super close to all camping areas.
GuideThis nice little campground is located between Minersville reservoir and the Green County fairgrounds, just west of Beaver Utah, on state road 21. It is small and access is somewhat tight, but we were able to get our 32-foot C-Class in easily enough and campsite 1 accommodated us beautifully.
Pros: There is a picnic table in a concrete floored, covered patio with a trash can and BBQ grills which is setting within a few feet of a small running stream. Beautiful and quiet for just $12.00 a night.
Cons: Lots of very tiny gnats that were so small they got through our window screens, so we had to minimize our external lighting, and close the windows and shades after dark.
Traveler
Perfect place to stop for the night. Road is fine. A few ruts. Super quiet.
Scout
Beautiful campground Quiet and lots of shade Our site had a stream running by it
ScoutWe pulled in after sunset to stop before going all the way north to SLC. The road was pretty doable in our truck, but it think it would be easy in a sedan too. There was a roundabout at the coordinates and another van was there, but there looked to be 3-4 more small spots for tents or vans. Not sure how many could accommodate a bigger rig. Lots of bugs, none biting. About a 7-10 min drive to the freeway. No freeway noise though. Some broken glass and trash, but nothing unexpected.
Guide
Only 15 sites. But each site is large with a fire pit. Lots of trees. Right near the river and only 10 minutes off the 15. No cell service for Verizon.
Traveler
I stayed here one night while traveling from Vail, CO to Zion National Park. No Services around (except 1 toilet), but a beautiful open landscape with sweeping views. I parked along the lake, and marvelled as the night sparkled. I believe most rigs can access this location (all flat).
I believe it was 3hrs to Zion (probably the same if you wanted to drop down into Bryce) This was definitely off the "beaten path". Very few vehicles were passing on Route 72 (runs south from I-70).
ScoutLarge, open, flat area with easy access. Trailhead for mountain biking and dirt bike trails.
Traveler
Beautiful scenery and just right outside of town. Very easy to access for most. I did see an RV camping but it had to be a bit more difficult for them. There are several established places to camp with beautiful views. Very private. Great for mountain biking
TravelerThis wasn't where we planned to camp but got too tired to drive any further. We are in a Toyota Camry and just hammocking. This spot worked out nicely. There was someone in the actual place of the coordinates. But we found a spot near by.
GuideConvenient NFS campground close to the interstate that makes you feel you are way back in the national forest. Small but nice campground right on the Beaver river which was flowing fast and was enjoyable to sit by.
Hosts were just arriving for the season and worked hard to get the restroom cleaned and functioning. Thank you for your work!
No trash service or dumpster in campground but a collection station was only a mile away so easy to drop trash when leaving the next morning. Water convenient to each site. No cell service and in reach satellite struggled to get connection.
Would have rated 5 stars except neighbors generator ran all night at the top of each hour for 10 minutes which diminished the enjoyment from the sounds of the river.
Will definitely stay here again maybe even for several days.
Scout
We just finished another stay at the Mackinaw Campground and it was the best one yet, even though our vehicle broke down on the last day of our stay.
Thanks to the amazing camp host, Karen, we were able to contact local mechanics and get it quickly towed and fixed. She was so helpful, understanding, and flexible with assisting us. We couldn't have done it without her.
The campsites have great picnic tables and firepits. There are multiple small tent sites at each campsite and room for our longer travel trailer as well.
This is dry camping, but the bathrooms are clean and have flushing toilets. There are many drinking water stations around the camp.
The park service has recently improved a dump station as the south end of the lake. It is a great place to fill your fresh water tank before pulling into camp and to empty black and grey tanks on the way home.
The lake shore trail is just across the street making it an easy walk to the marina.
Aspen trees cover the campground making it a great place to hang hammocks and relax.
We will be back again and again!

This is a great little park with beautiful views and lots to do in the area. There is a restaurant on site, small park for the kids, basketball court and dog walk area. The sites are very close no privacy. There are two styles ld cabins. They sell wood and propane by the tank they do not fill tanks.
Scout
Id say this place is good enough. Needed a spot in the area within 30 mins close to highway quiet dark secluded and it fit the bill
Pros:
No one else there
Vast huge area
Nice mountain view
Nice breeze
Good temp in June
Beautiful night sky
Quiet enough in eve and early AM
Not many bugs
Super close to highway, right there
Flat!
Cons:
Some trash left behind in some areas
A highway patrol and dune buggy whizzed by next day super loud. There are giant mounds of gravel the dune buggy rides. We were there sleeping til 12pm tho so prob fine if u leave at a decent AM time
Could hear the highway slightly, not enough i needed ear plugs tho and Im sensitive to sound when sleeping
Got hot during day til 12pm
Its gravel
Not super nature-y cuz its all gravel under you and mounds of gravel, good views arnd far away tho
GuideWe stayed in May 2023 and we were given a site all the way to the back. The view was pretty, the site was level, but when all the large RVs returned for the night, our electricity browned out and we couldn't run our AC. Our power also cut out during the night. The response from the management was, lets just say - unhelpful. Otherwise, it's a good location, the grounds are nicely maintained, the bathroom/showers were old, but they worked and had hot water. Unfortunately for us, we needed electricity for a CPAP, and our RV was 95 degrees inside, so for us, this campground gets two thumbs down.
