What Guests Are Saying
Pine Valley Recreation Area is praised as a hidden gem in southern Utah, known for its immaculate and well-maintained campgrounds, friendly camp hosts, and beautiful surroundings. Visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities, including pit toilets, and the availability of shaded picnic areas. Though there was a temporary issue with potable water, most campers had a wonderful experience and plan to return.

We love the Pine Valley Recreation Area and you will too if your reservation matches the campground rules on arrival.
We had a party of 6 (Dean Gardener D09, maximum occupants 8) reserved through the rec.gov website. AFTER setting up our 4 tents the camp hosts said we had too many tents. No where on the rec.gov website specify how many tents are allowed on site. The MALE camp host wouldn't level with us. We asked how to make this right and he said you can't stay here with that many tents. It was too late in the evening to even try and look for another campground, let alone two spots, in a place that required reservations or even first come first serve sites. So we packed up our gear and left.
House rules govern here and they will be RUDE if not followed.
To make this right, the reservation system should state the latest revision of the campground rules. In this day and age of technology it should be easy to do that. If the campgrounds use a reservation system why can't the campground rules be stated on that system? This was a very disappointing experience. Thanks for letting us down rec.gov and Pine Valley Recreation Area.

Nice wooded campground with hiking and walking trails. Great campground host. We were in site C04 (Crackfoot). Limited cell service at this site (1-bar on Verizon and nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T).
Water is available at the check-in office to fill your water tank. Water Faucets are available near the restroom but you cannot connect a hose.

This place was so wonderful! We would definitely come back and stay again. The bathrooms were clean, there was wildlife everywhere, and everyone was very respectful and nice.
