RV sites near Springville, Utah typically offer full hookups with 30 to 50 amp electrical service at rates ranging from $25 to $70 per night depending on location and amenities. The area sits at an elevation of approximately 4,500 feet with surrounding mountains rising to over 11,000 feet, creating significant temperature variations between seasons. Winter camping requires preparation for overnight temperatures that can drop below freezing from November through March.
What to do
River access for fishing: Most Springville area campgrounds are within 20 minutes of fishing spots along the Provo River. "This is a beautiful site with great people and friendly staff. The river is hard to get to but pleasant to listen to. The Velvet Ash was blooming so it looked like snow in July," notes a visitor at Knotty Pine RV Resort.
Biking on paved trails: The Jordan River Trail near Springville offers 80 miles of paved pathways. A camper at Pony Express RV Resort shared, "Easy access to the Jordan River Trail for running, biking, or sunset walks. You'll need to drive to get to restaurants, grocery stores, and ~20 min drive to downtown but overall not a bad spot to camp out for a few days."
Golf course camping: Some RV sites are positioned near local golf courses, providing easy access for golfers. "FHU. Good data on Verizon. No other facilities. Lively soft grass on most sites. Not overly long sites and might feel more like a tight commercial/parking lot-like campground when full - but we loved being one of a couple when we were there," reports a visitor to Gladstan Golf Course RV Park.
What campers like
Private bathrooms: Clean, individual bathroom units are highly rated by campers. At Mountain Valley RV Resort, a guest observed, "The bathrooms and showers were private and clean. The water pressure was high and temp was hot. There was a beautiful fire pit near the pool along with pickle ball and basketball courts."
Dog facilities: Specialized amenities for pets are a significant draw. "Big beautiful dog run area with a waterfall. This would be a great long term or a very easy on off expressway stop. High recommend," shares a visitor at Mountain Shadows RV Park.
Winter camping options: Year-round access is available at select locations. "Stayed in one of the cabins over the winter. Beautiful and cozy cabin with an absolutely stunning view of Mount Timpanagos. Great access to the nice town of Heber City and just close enough to Salt Lake City, Provo and Park City without feeling stuck in a metropolis," reports a camper at Mountain Valley RV Resort.
What you should know
Water pressure variations: High water pressure can damage RV plumbing systems at some campgrounds. "The spots are not level, and the water pressure is high. Make sure you have a water regulator," advises a camper at Gladstan Golf Course RV Park.
Variable cell service quality: Coverage differs between carriers. A visitor at Canyon View RV Park noted, "CELL SERVICE: AT&T worked great - not all bars but it worked well for use working remote and no issues with video calls using our hotspot."
Limited dump station access: Some parks have unconventional dump station setups. "The 'dump station' is at the end of the second parking area and can not be used by pulling your RV up to it, you must have a tote to use," warns a Canyon View RV Park camper.
Tips for camping with families
Playground availability: Family-friendly parks typically offer dedicated play areas. A camper at Pony Express RV Resort mentioned, "There are several different amenities including a pool, playground for the kids, life-size chessboard, and a mini-breed dog park!"
Swimming pool hours: Pool facilities often have restricted hours. "Our girls enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The laundry facilities were nice and even had a designated machine for pet laundry," notes a visitor at Mountain Valley RV Resort.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects sleep quality at some locations. A Lakeside RV Campground visitor advised, "Cute little campground. The RV sites are pretty close together, but there are spaces with shade trees. The facility was clean and the camp staff were friendly and observing COVID-19 mask mandates."
Tips from RVers
Site spacing concerns: Many campgrounds place RVs close together. "The sites (back in) are on one side, car (tows) are parked on the other. Most of them have a grassy area behind the RV," explains a Canyon View RV Park visitor.
Hot water limitations: Some parks have shared water heaters. At Jones High Country RV Park, a camper reports, "We just wanted a rest for a night after a long drive and a hot shower. My wife went to take a shower and came back in just under a minute. She told me that there was no hot water running. I went to the front desk and asked why there was no hot water. She told me that if someone is doing laundry, we have to wait until they are done with laundry."
Overnight access options: Late arrivals need to plan accordingly. "Easy after hours check in at 6pm. Laundry 24 hours. Paved sites and roads - kids scootered around past sunset," shared a visitor at Park City RV Resort.
