Our spot had tons of shade. It was also right next to a river that sounded amazing!

Boy scout camp ground Rocks! I personally love it because not many people know about it. Probably due to it is out past Grantsville, Utah-west-! However, that is the beauty no people and silence. the site was great with fire pit and tent site prefect for 10 man tent. it was a walk to the better bathrooms/hole in the ground, but that's ok just means for little ones bring a foldable wagon. Camp host awesome and helpful and full of information which I thank him greatly for because like he said there were plenty of snakes and other wild life. we love this camp ground and will be back. thanks

The people before us were still there packing up so we had to wait although they were supposed to check out 3 hours before hand. Once they cleared out it was nice. We enjoyed the access to the river from our site and now that we know how big the site is we would probably move our tent to closer to the river. We had some people come in to play in the river that technically were in our spot and we're disruptive. Be prepared for random thunderstorms. We had a pretty good one plus rain later that night. I would definitely return to this area again. Great space for kids to run around and explore and the river makes some nice white noise when sleeping at night.

The man who administers to this federal land use area is very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. He told us where we could get free firewood and made himself available to answer all our questions. He was very diligent in making frequent rounds to monitor the area.
