The camp host was great. Seemed overworked and was covering multiple campgrounds. A lot of campgrounds along Mirror Lake Highway are getting rid of drinking water and trash bins to save money. I totally understand this but I hope it doesn't lead to poorly run campgrounds. Use that saved money to help the hosts out.

A number of Soapstone campsites are mixed up online compared to in-person. The pictures online are not listed under the correct number, the occupancy (single or double) are mixed up so people pay double for a single site and others pay single for a double site. So you reserve a site and it may not actually be the one you are getting.

Campsite #18 - incorrect map location shown online, photos correct, occupancy correct

Campsite #19 - incorrect map location shown online, photos are incorrect (shows campsite #20, the correct phots are found online under campsite #17), occupancy incorrect (listed as double but mixed up with #20 still), it is only a single site (normal size table, normal parking space).

Campsite #20 - incorrect map location shown online, photos are incorrect, occupancy is incorrect (listed as single but it has extra parking and extra long table that only comes with a double occupancy site).

We stay here every year and it is frustrating that this can't get fixed. Despite contacting them multiple times now. Other campers have been frustrated as they pay for a double site and then don't have enough room. Or they are expecting a certain campsite based on the photos (usually looking for a shadier campsite, room for trailer, or close to the river) and end up getting one completely different.

We really enjoyed our camp site at Soapstone. The Camp Host was very friendly, it was quiet, plenty of room in our camp site. We will definitely return!

I love this campground because there’s good space in between each of the campsites. The area is also fairly flat so it was easily accessible for my handicap sister. I love the streams in the Spring that run through the campground, but they were all dried up later in the summer. Beautiful place to stay.

There are no garbage cans (you are supposed to pack out your garbage), the bathrooms are full of flies. There is no water.

Overall camping experience 6 out of 5. Bathroom experience -1 out of 5. The ammonia smell is unbearable. I thought, meh, it’s a pit toilet, it’s not supposed to be great. No. This is unbelievably smelly. Shockingly bad.

The site itself is beautiful, lots of space for multiple families. Fun areas for the kids to explore. We loved setting our chairs up in the river.

Considering bathrooms are a small part of my day, I’ve averaged that to a 4.

I couldn't believe there was a site still available for the weekend, what luck. It was clean, the groups around were respectful, and we had a total blast. The host was very nice too.

  • For more information, contact Kamas Ranger District or Utah Recreation, or visit gocamputah.com.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
