RangerWe’re locals who stayed over Independence Day weekend.
Our South Dakota family surprised us with a visit here and though MANY places were booked this weekend we got a last minute spot across from our family— this place is very accommodating!
Valley View is almost across the street from Hill AFB — which could be good or bad depending on what you’d like but I bet this would be the best stay during the biennial air shows! It is also on the higher side of the valley so you get great views to the south.
The amenities are incredible and we had a blast enjoying the pool and doggy areas.
The one downside I had with this place was that other “campers” were rather dirty. There was dog mess left behind all over the doggy run and random spots all over the park. We also, unfortunately, got a spot with a dumpster in our “front yard,” and people would leave garbage hanging out of the bin or even pile it on the ground around the bin.
We’re in a 33’ bumper pull & a ram 2500 and fit very well into spot 120 but there were many rigs much larger than ours.
GuideWe couldn’t find any information on this campground and found out it’s only a month old, as of July 2025. Previously it was a tent only campground that was ruined by a flood several years ago. It’s now an RV campground with full hook-ups. The campground is very clean and fully functional. The views are fantastic, located on the east side of Jordanelle. The Provo river is runs to the side of the campground and we fished multiple times a day. There’s a launching bay to Jordanelle just a few minutes away. Everything was fantastic except for one uncontrollable thing. MOSQUITOS! I’ve camped in Utah my whole life and this was by far the worst mosquito situation we had. We are covered in hundreds of bites and are totally welted. We were forced to spend many hours in our RV to avoid them.
ScoutThis campground is a weedy field right next to the interstate for $25. Sites are like parking at a music festival, little to no shade in the sites, no picnic tables in the sites, fire rings old burnt out cut barrels, and very little to no privacy at all. There is a communal picnic shade area but that is not my vibe when camping. I could see it working for a single desperate night for RVs but not for a extended stay. We ended up not staying because of the vibe and the sound of the interstate ( I couldn’t image sleeping in a tent there!) Drove up the road and got a Holiday Inn instead.
GuideStayed for an overnight on our way to Grand Teton. We stayed mid week and were the only people on the Mtn. Didn’t have to go all the way to the point given by app. Pulled off the first dispersed sites and there were 10 sites unoccupied.
Dirt road was a little rough, bumpy, but we made it just fine I wouldn’t take a car up but any SUV or Van would make it.
GuideNice simple camp ground no hook up but a good place to stay if visiting Salt Lake City and don’t want to pay a lot for a camp ground big rig friendly!
GuideGood place to stay lots of space along the road. Seemed to be a lot of trash in some of the spots it is close to the shooting range
ScoutLove it! I’ve driven by this place dozens of times to go camping elsewhere and had some reservation about it. Since it’s only an hour from home, this place may become our go-to for short stays and the occasional long stay.
ScoutThe campsite itself was fine…it felt like staying in a parking lot rather than nature. The camp host was extremely hostile and unfriendly. The entire experience was needlessly stressful. Bathrooms were very nice.
TravelerWe enjoyed a one night stay. Pull through sites with grass between. Pool was very nice. Cute little store.
