What Guests Are Saying
Tetilla Peak offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere at an affordable price, especially for America the Beautiful pass holders. While the campground is poorly maintained, with issues like limited water access, potholes, and cleanliness, the attentive site manager and beautiful surroundings compensate for some shortcomings. Visitors appreciate the tranquility and scenic sunsets, though the lack of privacy and amenities may detract for some campers.

Spacious sites. Sun shelters are metal. Being up on a Mesa means gorgeous views but can be hot, breezy, windy, cold, wet, stormy, or βperfectβ. Just depends on time of year. This location is well established and it has been in existence for awhile. Expect adequate amenities but βnot new, not perfectβ. Shhh donβt tell to many people about this diamond in the rough.

We live only 30 minutes away, but enjoy going over for a few days just to get out of the house for a while. We have camped there for many years. I'm sorry to say that the camp ground and main road in are going to serious disrepair. The road into the camp ground looks like a remnant of WWII. I have been given a reason for the lack of maintenance, and I understand. It would be sad to not be able to use T.P. and enjoy the Cottonwoods and lake any longer.
Thank you, Michael Kluck

I love the campgrounds I think itβs prettier then the other side. I like the lookout a lot. The road going out needs work there are a lot of really bad pot holes in the asphalt. There were four camping spots covered in goat heads. That need to be cleaned up really bad before they overrun other ones. Besides that just really an awesome place.
