Beautiful place

This is an amazing campground with a creek that runs all along the east side of the campground that leads to a reservoir. We stayed in site 22, had a breathtaking sunset. Sites 19-23 you have to walk up to, which can be a hassle carrying heavy coolers and totes. But totally worth all the privacy. Cows and deer walk through the sites, it was really cool. They have vault toilets, no sinks but a water filling station. Also sell firewood at the site for $6 a bundle. Camp host take well care of this campground and are very nice. The closest store is about 20 minutes away but the steakhouse down the road sells ice. Was a life savor. We will definitely be return!

A hidden gem

We stayed here after visiting Zion National park. The drive to this site was absolutely beautiful. The sunset over the mountains was breath taking. Our site was fully equipped with a fire pit, grill, picnic table and tent pad. The loop had a bathroom and running water. The host was there to help us find our spot and purchase firewood. Very friendly! Great place to stay in Western Utah.

Nice shady spot with water

The Dean Gardner loop is adjacent to the reservoir. No swimming but you can fish. Lots of big trees, so great for shady hammock naps.
