Best RV Parks & Resorts near Willard, UT

has every type of site you could want. no shade, lots of shade. full RV hook ups. tent sites.

We stayed here for one night. At the time, we were caught in a rainstorm, but the campsite was nestled in a forested area accessed by a dirt road. This campground is easy to find, near the trailhead for hiking into the Mt. Naomi Wilderness area, and a good base camp for day hikes and other adventures. There was a small river to collect water from if you have a filter, a fire ring for campfires, but no tables, drinking water, or RV hookups.

Nice facilities (bathrooms, showers, laundry) and amenities, but very crowded with lots of families. I recognize that we are probably not the target demographic for this RV resort as a couple with no kids, so it was a little bit much for us, but could see this as a great spot for families and big groups. They had a food truck (burgers, etc.) as well as a camp store, movie screenings, pool, games, etc. Wasn't exactly quiet, but wasn't riotous either, especially staying further from the epicenter.

We just stopped there for the night to break up the driving so I can’t speak for staying there long term (we didn’t even unhook) but the place was nice looking and the facilities were very clean. We looked inside their clubhouse and it looked super nice. The sites were long, paved, and level. You do get some noise from the freeway and there isn’t much shade because the trees are still young. Stayed in October.

Big urban park, concrete sites, minimal grass, a lot of long term folks. WiFi was ok bathhouses we’re new and clean and should have been adequate for the size of the park but a number we’re constantly locked, I assume to minimize cleaning costs. Maintenance is now what I would expect from a top notch park.

We’ve stayed here three times and each about the same. Full hook ups were nice. Clean bathrooms with free showers were a plus. The only downside was road noise from the nearby freeway and lots of bugs, probably due to the lake. But for a travel through stopover it was fine.

This a an awesome camp spot that is right off of I-15 but feels like you are out in the wilderness. In the summer there are lots of bugs so bring bug spray. Pet friendly with a nice beach for the kids. lots of trees so you don't really hear I-15 noise. Full hook ups for trailers and nice tent spots. Bathrooms with running water and fish cleaning stations are really nice. Lots of picnic tables and pavilions to get some shade. Make sure you bring your boat and fishing gear. The whipper fishing can be fun.

Convenient location right off the highway with full hook ups and nice paved sites. Dog areas, playground, games, and a pool. 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.

It's not a resort but the heart and soul that the on-site managers put into this place is what makes this place special and great. They do so much BEYOND what is required of any rv park staff workers. 

My experience while I was there. And I was there for 2 months the summer of 2023. The power was out for 9 days, and Mark and Evielynne worked around the clock, providing pizza, a cooling station, non stop games going, free ice, free ice-cream, their own personal generator to a guest who didn't have one. They worked so hard that not one negative feedback or review came in against the RV park. 

A camper that was traveling through the area broke down. Mark went and towed them in and gave these people rides to and from to get things fixed. It took 3 days and they got back on the road.

Police was called in on a major domestic situation and within 2 hours, they were removed from the park.

The managing host goes as far as providing events which for years nothing was ever done for the rv park. They really try to be creative with providing things to do for their guests. I love my goodie bag they give during the summer months for their guests. 

Bathrooms and showers are clean. They have a laundry room that has all kinds of cool things like a tv, book station, a pantry, vending machine and a jigsaw table so we have something to do while doing laundry. 

They have grocery bingos and once a month free waffle day where these managing hosts cook for the guest. 

I only heard about Willard Peak Campground because of the past rv park they worked at, when I asked where they were. So that's how I came to be a guest. The rv park is small and there isn't space for a whole lot of wiggle room so they have done amazing work to work within that space to make it fun for their guests.

The owners whoever they are, I sure hope they know how lucky to have staff that go beyond the scope of things just for their guests. Any RV park would be lucky to have these two. 

I plan on coming back this summer (2024) for a month. I want to stay longer but my plans call for me to travel more. But I'm gonna state for the record, that Willard Peak Campground is my favorite when at a time it wasn't.

Overall, 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.

Great State Park. The sites are well spaced apart giving plenty of privacy. We didn’t have much shade in ours but they provide a ramada on a cement pad over the picnic table which was great. Very spacious pull ins, full hook ups, and a quick trip to the beach (Eagle and Pelican Beach) Be aware that they DO NOT allow early arrival and will turn you away before 3pm even if the site is empty. I checked out the bathrooms/showers…seen better but not terrible. Also there is lots of noise from the highway and railroad which we don’t mind but light sleepers may want another option. Would stay again if we were in the Salt Lake area.
