I stayed a night in the empty campground on 09/14/24 on my way from AZ to WY. I left my campsite to go to town for some supplies. I came back to the site and noticed that a box with two cans of bear spray, a hatchet, a rubber mallet, and more was stolen. It was probably $200 worth of supplies. I talked to the camp hosts to see if they saw anything, but one was totally avoiding me and the other seemed dumbfounded. Neither asked if I wanted to file a report. The dumbfounded one said, “I did not even know there was such a thing as bear spray.” To me, both were weird and evasive interactions. I had stayed here previously two years ago but would not trust to stay here again. I canceled my return reservation on 09/21/24 and am losing my $33 payment.

Great campground. Loved this place for my family. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. We were lucky to be close to a water spout as well.

To be honest I was not a fan of this campsite. We booked site 5 which had no where for a tent without being on top of our neighbor. We ended up driving up the road and staying at a better more open site. Beware of lots of snakes at this site too.

Quiet campground hidden up in the canyon. Nice access down to see the creek.

Only 4 miles up the canyon, this campsite is our favorite when we are spending lots of time in town, golfing and at the rodeo. It is also not far from Kent’s lake. The downside is because the elevation is not very high, temperatures don't drop very low and it was still 75-80 degrees at night in July. Some sites have great shade, ours didn’t. The campsite host was very nice and accommodating.

Small NFS campground 8 miles out of Beaver, Utah. Very scenic location, accented by stream that provided relaxing rushing water sound. Sites were large and private. Water spigots will not attach to a hose, so bring potable water in your tank or 5 gallon water container.

The camp ground was very nice and clean, the only reason I gave it a 4 star was the road noise. The river was high, but construction up at the resort had trucks driving up and down all morning and early evening. But for what i was doing the location was great as I could drive back into town for breakfast and dinner after fishing all day, without having to cook. Would recommend this site. Small, but sweet.
