Water didn't work on the leg we were on, bathrooms were closed, portable potties put in place were cleaned once in 7 days and were beyond disgusting. The store at Navajo lake was closed due to what we were told was a forest service induced closure. I doubt anyone reads this, but we will be looking for a new place to camp. I've been coming to te-ah for several years, and this was the worst I've ever seen it.

Such a beautiful campground. We stayed here for 5 nights. We were worried about the toilet and water situation given the other reviews, but they are misleading. There are plenty of water spigots and there's a vault toilet available. The flush toilets aren't working, but that's a luxury while camping anyways. The camp host was kind and there was firewood available for sale. The quaking aspen and Navajo Lake made this one of the more beautiful campsites, since you're nestled into the forest with plenty of space between sites (unlike some national park campgrounds where everyone is on top of each other). Highly recommend.

We stayed here 6/5-6/8/2022. This is an absolutely beautiful campground, the sites are well spaced out, very quiet, not crowded. It's not terribly far (1 hr) from the Kolob Canyon entrance to Zion which we visited (not crowded, well worth it). I did not give it 5 stars since with the drought there is no water (not sure if there will be in the future). The existing facilities were closed and replaced by port-a-potties and one overused pit toilet. We were annoyed that there was no mention of this in the Rec.gov description or a posting at the entrance. We were also annoyed that our site was littered with plastic bottle caps, cigarette butts, and other debris (which we cleaned up). The one pit toilet had an overflowing waste basket. Furthermore, in other National Forest campgrounds we have been almost always greeted by a helpful campground host, but we never saw them.

Very disappointed that the dump station is still closed (same as three years ago, restrooms closed, and no other nearby campground had functioning water supply or dump station. We've camped there numerous times over the past thirty years, beautiful site, but no longer a pleasant camping experience. Please fix it. Also the fish in Navajo Lake were killed off last year, so another reason to be there erased by questionable management. get it together you people. you are wrecking a great resource!.

Why they did not take it? In stead we had to be between them. Oh well better luck next time. The parks need to do a better job keeping people from disturbing others & keeping our lands a peaceful place to go recharge from city life. Come on people leave all your noise & noisy toys at home!

I have camped at Te-aH most year since 1979, when sites were $4 a site, forest personal maintained campgrounds, and you drove through a canopy of trees on the main road leading to campgrounds on or near Navajo Lake. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful, a place to relax. Life has changed over the years with the love of camping by so many, requiring changes on how to manage the outdoors, that's understandable, unfortunately, although recreation.gov claims there's no motorized 2 to 4 wheel unlicensed vehicles permitted in camp, camp hosts in the area allowed these vehicles in camp, constantly driving through the site disrupting campers that came out to relax. Camp hosts did great keeping each site clean compared to previous years. This year, we had to deal with no water or dump station as expected, saying this, forestry knows there's a problem with their fresh water pump for years and still have not fixed it and we still pay for accommodations they claim when we reserve sites. I understand it take time for repairs, but this has been going on for more then 3 years and I can't figure why no action has not been taken. We pick these sites for the accommodations they claim they have, It IS a beautiful site for camping and fishing and hiking are available near by. Hope they address these issues so we can return to a more relaxing, quiet stay.

Had to back out due to poor weather at Navajo lake. Too late to get a refund. I advise other campers with reservations to check the weather and cancel before the check in date.
