This campsite is always clean and cozy. As tempting as it may be to pitch your tent under trees, it is required that you pitch it in the tent spot. We made this mistake twice.

Sharp Creek is a wonderful place to camp. Spacious sites with asphalt pads, metal picnic table, firepit and BBQ grill. Spotless vault toilets and water spigots spaced every 3 or 4 sites. Donna and Sam are great camp hosts and keep whole campground spotless, including cleaning picnic tables. Close to nice lakes, Payson and Heber.
Love to camp there.

Our stay at Sharp Creek was absolutely perfect. Couldn't ask for a cleaner or quieter Campground. The Camp Hosts were amazing. Making sure that the grounds and the restrooms were cleaned twice a day. As soon as a camp was vacated, they were there within minutes to get it ready for the next guest. I would highly recommend this camp ground. Can't wait til our next camp out.

Very sweet host!Donna! RV spot was clean and quiet! Bathroom was clean. Trash cans very close. I was worried about bears! None. We were the last to leave because they were shutting down the forest😢😢. Will go again for sure!

Beautiful campground. Sites are well maintained and spread out. Good signal for those who need access to their phone. And the Camp Host Donna was awesome! We will be back in the future.
