Campsite #15 is small, could fit a group of 4 but I would say it was PERFECT for 2. Pretty much right on the road, but I'm referring to the campground road not the main one, so traffic really wasn't bad, just other campers walking to the toilet or kiddos riding their bikes by. You can add some more privacy with your car. The spot has great access to the creek, a couple little walking trails that lead right down to it and the water is close enough that you can hear it and it's such a lovely thing to wake up/fall asleep to! Bathrooms were VERY well maintained, clean and never ran out of toilet paper. We didn't end up using the water access but we had such a great time at this spot that we'll definitely come back, stay longer, and give that a try too. Camp hosts were super friendly and present.

This is a very nice, quiet campground. It is very clean as well as the bathrooms. We will be going back.

Very peaceful campsite. It was not full when we were there right after Labor Day - but even if it were, there is still plenty of privacy between sites. Easy access to the water. Bathrooms were extremely clean. The only bummer is that there are recent burns in the area, which impact the beauty of the hiking trails. We would go back again!

Our spot was amazing. It was very large with a picnic area and fire pit. Behind the site was a creek we were able to swim in. It was hot but the creek was amazing to cool down in. What an amazing find! 5 ⭐️ 10/10 would return.

Arrival & departure

  • Contact customer service at 801-226-3564 or via email.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
