Fishing enthusiasts can try their luck catching brown and cutthroat trout in the nearby rivers. Both locations are typically open from May through October, with Payson Lakes closing mid-October and Diamond Fork sometimes opening earlier in April depending on snow conditions. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekend stays during summer months when these glamping sites frequently reach capacity due to their proximity to Spanish Fork and Provo.
