LegendOne of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.
They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.
Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.
LegendThis is a great place to pitch a tent or come up and stay for the day. The only bad part about this camp site is all the highway noise. It is close to the Provo river and there is lots of shade so that is nice. Great place to have a camp fire and cook some S'mores. The bike path is close so bring your long board or bike and go for a ride. This is withing walking distance from Bridal Vail Falls so that is a great day hike and see the falls. Also great fly fishing in the Provo river so do yourself a favor and bring your fishing gear.
ScoutQuite area, lot of room. I stayed on site 58 (tent only). Enough room for 2 medium tents. Next/above stream. Tucked in very back. Long ways to walk from car. Water spout next to car area. Will be sharing parking with 2 other sites. 2 lakes nearby. Fire pit with grill gate. Shaded area. Full sun from 10am-4pm.
GuideWe only stayed at Mountain View for one night while passing through, but we enjoyed our stay. The office staff was super friendly. Mark came out on a cart to usher us to our site. He was helpful and provided wonderful advice for the rest of our trip in Utah (Moab). The sites are a bit close, but the campground was quiet and clean.
Our girls enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The laundry facilities were nice and even had a designated machine for pet laundry. The restrooms 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.
This facility is near the highway but the road noise wasn’t a problem for us.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
TravelerOverall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups.
All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.
A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

ScoutMy family of five enjoyed this campground. We got a site with access to the river which my kids really enjoyed. There was a fun giant "sliding rock" in the area to climb on. Lots of trees for hammocks. Downside is it's right next to a busy highway and picnic areas. Although the campsite has quiet hours, the picnic area across the street stayed loud well past quiet hours. The road noise was a lot more than I expected.. especially at night. Definitely bring ear plugs or plan to stay only a nite or two. We planned on staying three nights, but were so exhausted by lack of sleep we left a day early.
LegendThis is a fun place to stay when you want to go someplace close. There are lots of trees for the summer months and lots of shade. There are a couple good beaches. This is Utah's biggest fresh water lake. There are lots, and lot of bug so bring bug spray.
Awesome mountain views. Good fishing in the Provo river or lake fishing. You can build a fire and get firewood from camp host. There is full hook ups and also spots for a tent. Most spots have a pavilion and nice tables. Great bathrooms with running water. I can't remember which spot we stayed at but they are were really nice.
GuideI got a site right by the creek. Set up my hammock and listen to the running water.
Only negative is the site is off the main canyon road and there is some traffic noise during the day.
Traditional campsites and yurt camping near Vineyard, Utah offer varied experiences with elevations ranging from 4,500 feet at Utah Lake to over 7,400 feet at mountain locations like Timpooneke. Most higher elevation sites remain closed during winter months due to snow accumulation and freezing temperatures. Summer daytime temperatures often exceed 90°F at lower elevations while mountain campgrounds provide cooler alternatives typically 10-15 degrees below valley temperatures.
Hiking to waterfalls and alpine lakes: From Nunns Park, visitors can access Bridal Veil Falls via a short trail. "The walk from the campsite to bridal falls is also lovely!" notes Helen A. The area features multiple waterfall hikes within short driving distance.
Paragliding observation: Flight Park State Recreation Area offers unique opportunities to watch paragliders launch. "When we woke up there were paragliders ready to glide. Which was cool," reports Santiago V. The park sits at a higher elevation with views of the mine, town, and mountains below.
Paddleboarding and fishing: Anderson Park provides easy access for water activities. "Loved it, great for Paddleboarding and fishing," says Becky J. The park includes covered pavilions and grassy areas suitable for group gatherings and activities.
River sounds and mountain views: Nunns Park offers campsites with natural white noise from nearby water. "The river is right there and makes some beautiful yet subtle white noise. It is in provo canyon and the cliffs on either side are very impressive," explains Helen A.
High elevation camping with wildlife viewing: Granite Flat sits at approximately 6,400 feet elevation in American Fork Canyon. "I have almost always seen moose and deer in the camp ground and the kids love to catch fish in the stream," shares Craig E. The higher elevation provides relief from summer heat.
Quick access from urban areas: Several campgrounds offer surprisingly quick escapes from city life. "This is one of the closest campgrounds to Provo. It is quick and easy for the kind of trip to just get away," explains Kyler N. about Nunns Park.
Limited cell service: Reception varies significantly across camping locations. Flight Park has "spotty cell service" according to Kelda C., while mountain locations may have unreliable connectivity depending on your carrier.
Wind conditions: Spruces Campground and Flight Park are notably windy areas. "It can get extremely windy at night, but that was to be expected," reports Jef E. Secure tent stakes are essential at these locations.
Seasonal water restrictions: Facilities may have limited water service during certain times. "I got an email this morning informing me to bring all of my water we need, as of now there is no water," reports Greg L. about Spruces Campground. Check current conditions before arriving.
Campground closures: Road access can be restricted unexpectedly. "The surrounding area is full of closed roads making this spot inaccessible," notes Hannah P. about Granite Flat. Always verify accessibility before traveling, especially in spring and fall.
Playground access: Anderson Park provides family-friendly amenities. "Several fire pits, large covered lighted pavilion with three rows of picnic tables. Large grassy field, two wooded areas," describes Michelle B. The $25 rental fee includes these facilities.
Yurt options for families: Mt. Timpanogos offers yurt camping alternatives to traditional tenting. "Bring all your own camping gear and flashlights! The stars in the early morning provide unparalleled views," advises Kerry E. Yurts provide more stable shelter in variable mountain weather.
Space for group activities: Little Mill has "great relaxing family time, fishing on river close, close to tribble fork and silver lakes," according to Monica B. Multiple recreation areas within short driving distance allow for varied activities over multi-day stays.
Site size considerations: When bringing an RV to Little Mill, specific sites work better for larger units. "Spot 10 was great for our 33ft rig," shares Claire L. Some campgrounds have limited spaces for larger vehicles.
Level parking surface: Utah Lake State Park Campground offers "level pads, good space between sites, nice covered tables," according to Miriam B. The $50 camping fee includes full hookups and dump station access.
Hookup availability: Michael L. notes about Nunns Park: "Our 20' trailer does fine. Close in to town, very pretty with Provo river next to it." Many sites lack electric or water hookups, so self-contained units work best at most mountain locations.
