Nice campground. We really enjoyed our stay. It was the end of the season so it was very quiet. The camp host was very nice and helpful. Cell service (T-Mobile) was serviceable for calls, text and light internet but a bit too spotty for reliable streaming. We will definitely return.

Scout Mountain is a surprise. I’ve driven past this area on I15 dozens of times and had no idea what a beautiful location was waiting just a few minutes away. Big trees, separated camp sites and nice facilities. A little disappointed with noise from other peoples music but I guess that’s to be expected. Easy access in the campground and having no water and electric hook ups keeps some of the big rigs out. If you want to move your living room to the campground, this might not be the place. Trails are immediately accessible from the campground. I did a 12 mountain bike ride but met others doing 40+ miles. Also met several dirt bikes but they were extremely courteous on the trails.
