Our site was perfect, plenty of area for 2-3 large tents. Outhouse’s were kept very clean. Site pad could accommodate a small trailer.

The best camp hosts ever! They truly make the stay at Smith and Morehouse special and our kids look forward to an annual camp trip at the reservoir because of them.

Excellent location and campground - pit toilets and no dump station or water fill up but otherwise a great place and close by to most of SLC

The camp hosts were amazing and made us feel very welcome. They had a fairy garden that our kids absolutely loved. Our campsite was okay overall, but I wouldn't consider it very kid-friendly because of the large drop-off along the edge. There also wasn't much room for the kids to run around safely within the campsite itself. The lake was beautiful. We had a wonderful time and plan to come back every year.

We had a wonderful stay. The campground was clean, we had privacy, and the camp host Dale and Deb were amazing! Dale checked on us every morning and provided firewood left over from another camp. Deb has turned her spot into a fairy garden dream our kids loved visiting. The lake was great, the rope swings were a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend
