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.

My husband and I were extremely impressed by the Pine Valley campsite! We do a lot of camping in Minnesota and we both agree that Pine Valley is by far the cleanest campsite either of us has been in. Really recommend! It also has the best view of the mountains - we were truly blown away by the scenery.

Such a beautiful campsite! it was clean (especially the bathroom which surprised me) and mainly quiet; however everyone else that was staying there at the time had trailers or RV’s so there was a constant radiator noise which disrupted the peace in my opinion. the campground itself was wonderful though! we loved walking around during the day, climbing trees and cooking over the campfire. the reservoir is really pretty with the mountains and we loved being able to drink straight from the stream! the weather was perfect, although when we first got there it was raining a bit (but we like that). overall really good experience :)
