Leashed pets are permitted throughout the campground, though owners should maintain control of their animals at all times. The campground offers water and electric hookups for RVs, picnic tables at each site, and modern shower facilities. Sites are tight and close together with minimal privacy, creating an environment where dogs can easily interact with neighboring campers.

Both dispersed areas require pet owners to pack out waste and keep dogs under control at all times.

Visitors should note that during busy periods, the more established campgrounds fill quickly, making reservations advisable for those traveling with pets.

      Lakeside RV Campground

      Cute RV park close to lake Utah

      This 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.

      Diamond Fork

      Lovely weekend

      From I-15, take exit 258 and turn east toward Spanish Fork Canyon. Continue up Spanish Fork Canyon for about 9 miles to Forest Road 029/Diamond Fork Canyon. Turn left into Diamond Fork Canyon and travel 6 miles northeast to campground. We walked up the creek and across the road to explore the Red Ledges. Discovered the cool arch. This campground is very kid friendly. There are painted bear tracks that tell a story in and around the two loops of the park. The river is nice, with fun fishing holes. Be sure to wear big repellent. Loop B isn't as shady as loop A. Dog friendly, our husky enjoyed hunting mice and watching birds. Fifth Water Springs was closed and blocked off due to COVID-19, so be sure to check before you go if that is on your agenda.

      Skyline Drive

      Roadside Oasis

      This is down a little dirt road near the Ghost town remnants of Tucker, Utah. There is a cute little creek, plenty of places to pull into to camp, and lots of neat rock formations to observe. We stayed 2 nights, and after dusk, the noise was minimal. You can hear some traffic noise from the highway, but it's faint. Be sure to mind the signs posted for private property. It seems as though some people have left their trash behind, and it's very unfortunate because this is by far the best spot we found on this HWY near Spanish Fork. Pack in and pack out is a must as there are no amenities other than nature's amenities. I found a few fossils in my wandering of our site. Some spots by the creek have been washed out, and the ground seems to have given way, so be mindful of where you park. The spot we stayed in was the 3rd spot after the private property signs on the left-hand side. Be sure to scout the turn-off roads before attempting to drive down them. This is a sandy spot, and the ground is not the most sound due to water damage. Cool little spot to unwind and enjoy nature's surroundings.

      Diamond Campground

      great location close to town

      Diamond is a great go to if you live in SLC. Not far up Spanish Fork Canyon. Great getaway for a weekend for locals.

      River near by campground and also the trailhead to hot springs is a few miles up the canyon

      Hobble Right Fork Dispersed

      Amazing view

      A great view of both Spanish Fork and Provo peaks. There are a few places to go behind growth for more privacy if desired. There is a small fire pit closer to the back. It is at a fairly high elevation so nights will be cold.

      Madsen Bay Campground — Scofield State Park

      Great fishing and beautiful area

      It is a bit of a drive up Spanish Fork Canyon but it is a beautiful campsite with great fishing. We caught crawfish, and really good size brown and rainbow trout!

      Skyline Drive

      1st sites are the best

      The first review on this campsite is fantastic! The directions take you right to the camping location. There are sites lining the river that can fit RVs. The dirt road is well maintained. It up Spanish fork canyon, and due to that the temperatures get quite cold at night, especially in the fall/winter.

      Springville / Provo KOA Holiday

      This campground is convenient to the things that we wanted.

      We have a daughter that lives in Spanish Fork and this is very convenient for her to come see us and bring her children to play in the pool and the recreation hall. Everything is clean and complete. Even the kitchen is clean and large in the hall
