"This was a great place to get away from the normal day to day. The lake is pretty low due to the drought, but we had a great time enjoying the water from the shore. "
"No bathrooms, primitive and huge families with atvs and dirt bikes everywhere nearby. They were polite and had reasonable time for no noise."

"Lots to do nearby at Defa’s dude ranch"
"While I’m technically writing a review on hades, which seemed like a lovely campground that I did end up hiking through, I actually camped at a lake nearer to Hades, named Shadow Lake, a smaller, less"
ScoutNot a level spot. to be found. Good ,scenery but overall not a great stay
TravelerThe yellowjackets were pretty annoying to deal with until after dusk and they’re right back out as soon as it’s light. My husband and I camped at an overlook spot about a mile north of this campground and it was an amazing view, little car activity but lots of yellowjackets. I’d recommend bringing a trap and wear peppermint essential oil to deter
TravelerA nice camp. 30 $ for a tent is a bit more than usual, but they have nice showers :) Selected this so I can swim in the lake, but it is not allowed due HAB...
GuideVery quiet, sites are pretty level. Currently the vault toilets are closed but they have portable toilets available that appear to be cleaned every 3 days. Host Sara is very nice. Cell service Verizon and att is decent. Road up is steep but smooth. Lots of cars parked on the road near the campsite makes for difficult driving around on tight roads in our 26.5 foot RV but we were able to do it. Mountains are very beautiful up here. As always people don’t seem to understand the concept of pack it in pack it out so there is some trash but much better than most other sites. We always end up having to pick up after others because most people just don’t seem to care and figure someone else will do it for them. Keep it Better than you found it.
TravelerThis is a very large area where there may be a hundred people camping but there's still plenty of room for 100 more. It's open and yet the forest is right next to you. There are Forest roads that go up into the mountains that are great
TravelerIt was a beautiful spot, I drove past the 4 by the river and turned around and got the 3rd one. Not many people until around 9 to 1130 about 50 different cars left on the road, I don’t know if there’s ohv trails or what.
LegendClose to the highway for an overnight stop. Crowded, no facilities or privacy. Basically a field that everyone is camping in.
Be wary that when it rains, this field turns into a super slick and deep mud.
ScoutWe stayed here on the night of Aug 22, 2025. Wasatch loop site 97. My wife and I were riding a charity bike ride with the national ability center on the 23rd. The ride started at 8:30 and would take us around 2.5 hours. Knowing this, I asked the camp host if I could check out at 1pm instead of noon. He agreed. We woke up in the morning, did our ride, and when we came back to our site at 12:25. The camp host then drove up in his ranger and asked us why we hadn't left yet. I had told him we had an agreement that we would leave at 1pm and he completely forgot the conversation. He told me the next occupant was here already (Check in was at 3pm) and needed the spot. I told him I'd be out right away, which is what we did. We left the camp spot around 12:40. I then received several calls from the state park asking me to remove my trailer after I had already left.
Besides the terrible interaction with the the camp host, the site smelled like sewer all night as it's about 300 ft away from the dump station. If you're in a tent or a small camper trailer there's no getting away from the smell.
I think Jordanelle is great state park! I'd love to come back, but I won't stay in the Wasatch loop again…
TravelerThis site books out almost instantly at the beginning of the season, so sites generally only come available when there is a cancellation. This year, the camp hosts are the single greatest I’ve ever seen. The fire pits are clean, tent sites are raked it appears, and the pit toilets are deodorized, decorated and scented candles are lit at night.
Construction or fire management, not sure which, removed a lot of trees from some of the sites, leaving them very barren, seems to only be 2 or 3, not sure of the site numbers
Location wise, the site is at 9400 ft so the temps are usually 20 degrees cooler than the city. Several trailheads to alpine lakes are in or near the trailhead. There is a small supply shack near the gate where you can get an ice cream after a hike.
