RV parks near Vineyard, Utah offer camping options ranging from basic utility connections to resort-style amenities. Located along the eastern shore of Utah Lake at an elevation of 4,500 feet, this region experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures averaging 90°F in July and cold winters with occasional heavy snowfall. Most campgrounds maintain year-round operation with concrete pads that remain accessible during winter months when temperatures drop below freezing.
What to do
Fishing access: 5 minutes from Lakeside RV Campground. The nearby Utah Lake State Park offers fishing opportunities. "The campground is located right off the main road that takes you to Utah Lake so there can be a lot of traffic going down the road," notes one visitor at Lakeside RV Campground.
Mountain biking trails: 15-minute drive to Provo Canyon. Many campers use their RV sites as a base for day trips to nearby mountain trails. "We were welcomed immediately upon the drive in, explained the amenities and given a welcome packet. We were also able to rent a Razor UTV on site and took a mapped out 4 hr drive through our beautiful mountains, straight out of the campground," writes one camper at Mountain Valley RV Resort.
Walking paths: Direct access from several RV parks. "There is a beautiful running/walking trail along the river directly behind the RV park," reports a camper about Lakeside RV Campground. Another visitor at Echo Island RV Resort mentions: "It has a lot of trailer spots that are almost all pull throughs and have hook ups. It's fun to bring kayaks and float the river."
What campers like
Dog-friendly facilities: Several parks offer designated pet areas. "They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we've seen thus far," reports a visitor at Mountain Valley RV Resort. Another reviewer at Pony Express RV Resort notes, "Three dog parks and dog washing bay."
Cleanliness and maintenance: Parks in this area typically maintain high standards. "The facilities are very new and always clean, nice big private restrooms with showers, two laundry facilities, two hot tubs and two pools," according to one long-term visitor. Another camper writes about Echo Island RV Resort: "This is such a pretty and accommodating place to stay... very clean and modern facilities, well maintained campsites with fire pit."

Amazing clubhouse with pool table, foosball, large TV, comfy chairs, guest kitchen area."
What you should know
Fire restrictions vary by location: Several parks prohibit wood fires. "Fires are not allowed in the individual sites, but the campground has three public gas fire pits. Or if you have your own gas fire pit, they will allow you to use it, but no wood burning is allowed," notes a visitor at Mountain Valley RV Resort.
Proximity to transportation: Highway noise affects some locations. "Located right off the highway with full hook ups and nice paved sites," writes one camper at Pony Express RV Resort. At Mountain Shadows RV Park, a visitor notes: "1/2 block away is the very busy and noisy I-15, and sites are about 6-8 feet next to each other!"
Site spacing varies significantly: Some parks offer spacious sites while others are compact. "Sites are a bit close, but the campground was quiet and clean," reports one overnight visitor. Another mentioned, "The sites were very tight and it's hard to get any privacy. However a great stop for a weekend getaway."
Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Open May through September. Multiple RV parks maintain swimming pools for summer use. "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. Another camper writes, "This campground is good for kids because there's plenty of space for them to ride bikes, play basketball, swim, and also a playground."
Playground availability: Check park websites for details. Some parks offer dedicated play areas. "The playground is clean, a good sized one, but overrun with unsupervised kids," reports one camper. A visitor at Canyon View RV Park mentioned, "Located on the edge of Canyon View Park. The park had just closed as they prep for their annual Christmas light show, but you could still walk on the trail through the park."
Family-friendly activities: Games and recreation areas. Many parks provide shared recreation spaces. "They have a few cabins but are mostly laid out for newer RVs," notes one camper. Another visitor describes, "There is a tent camping and picnic area adjacent to the pool. Office has a small store with a limited selection of goods. There is a game room at the office."
Tips from RVers
Electrical connections: Check upon arrival. RV parks in this region typically offer 30/50-amp service. "Water is split between 2 RV's cutting water pressure down to below 20psi," notes a visitor at Canyon View RV Park. Another warns, "Water pressure high, use regulator."
Site levelness: Request specific sites. Some parks have uneven pads. "Most sites were level, however 62 was NOT!" warns a visitor at Knotty Pine RV Resort. Another visitor mentions, "Long wide Pullthrough, with grass dividers. 2 service centers to pick from make setting up easy."
Seasonal considerations: Winterization requirements. Most parks remain open year-round with limited services in winter. "We were treated like royalty by the staff. The facility had wonderful laundry and bathrooms," reports one winter visitor. A camper at Rollin' Home RV Park advises: "No shade trees," which is important to consider during summer visits.
