What Guests Are Saying
Soapstone Campground offers a pleasant and peaceful experience, making it a favorite for many visitors, especially those looking for a quiet retreat close to Salt Lake Valley. The sites are well-shaded, spacious, and located near the Provo River, which provides opportunities for fishing and exploring. However, some amenities need improvement, such as restroom cleanliness and the presence of a campground host for emergencies, as well as challenges for larger RVs regarding access to certain sites.

It's a nice campground, no complaints -- it is good for the intended users. My issues are mine alone. Camped in site 20, it is a plenty long enough for my 35 ft fifth wheel but the angle to get in and out was tricky. I had to go backwards down the one-way to make it work and try multiple times to get the angle. I wouldn't pick this site again for the tightness to get in. It also put the table on the non-door side of the RV. Overhead branches over the road would hit a full height fifth wheel's ac units. I was able to dodge branches with my slightly shorter mid-sized trailer. It's clear this campground isn't intended for large trailers, otherwise they would improve the angles to get in/out. It's a nice place for tent camping and shorter rigs.

We love Soapstone. It is always pleasant experience and a nice walk around the campground. It's always quiet and relaxing and our favorite go to spot close to the Salt Lake valley. It is a good base camp for day hikes in the Uintas.

Campground is in a pretty area but needs some upkeep. Picnic tables were almost unusable due to the weathered tops and benches with a lot of splinters. The restrooms closest to us weren't very clean and were smelly. Yes, I know they're outhouses, but somehow a lot of the other national parks/national forests have come up with a product that makes them a lot friendlier to use. I'm thinking in particular of Yellowstone and the campground we stayed at a couple of years ago in Island Park.
There's no campgroumd host on site and we didn't see anything indicating where the closest one was. In case of a medical emergency, it would be nice to have someone with the ability to summon medical help since there's no cell service. We did have my son-in-law get stung by a wasp and were afraid for a little bit we'd need to get him medical care. Symptoms subsided with a benadryl, but if it had been a severe attack it could have been a problem. Having a campground host with a satellite phone on site is almost a necessity with the amount of stuff that can happen.

We Had a medical emergency, where our 74 year old sister was run over by a 25 foot RV. After getting her breathing again we put her in the truck and headed down the mountain to the hospital for help, because there was no cell service and No campground host on-site. Recreation.gov did refund our money, However it would have been nice and much safer if there was actually a Campground host on site, One that could have helped us during this terrible situation. Campground hosts do more then just change reservation tags.

This area is magical. At Soapstone Campground you are a short walk to the Provo river where you can play and fish, it’s great. The campground was taken care of well. When you stay here definitely drive a couple miles further up Mirror Lake Highway and go to Provo River Falls. It is an amazing place to play in the water in a multi tiered waterfall where the entire family can enjoy themselves! I definitely recommend this campground.

Soapstone is a nice quiet campsite with decently well dispersed sites that offers tons of shade from mature pines and aspens through the campground. The river is on the back side of the loop and seasonal creeks run through many of the other sites throughout the campground. Our site felt very private and had a new fire pit with built in grill and a very large picnic table that could easily sit 10+ people. Pit toilets are spaced throughout. The road is well paved and smooth. The campground consists of several one direction loops, but be advised that many sites require RVs and trailers to drive against the flow of traffic to back into their designated sites.
Altitude is on the lower side for the Uintas, so it is a great early and late season campground but may be warm for mid-summer July-August.
Bring bug spray, as the site had plenty of mosquitoes at dusk. The ground was also pretty silty so be ready for little ones and pets to get covered in dust.
During our stay an adult moose was seen multiple times walking through campsites along the river.
Overall a great site if you’re looking for a lower altitude campground to relax to or use as a home base to explore the Uintas.
