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.

Site 10 is in an area that allows no vehicles. This was not clear when we made the reservation. We had a truck tent that we could not use as we could not drive to the site. Everything also has to be carried to this site. The camp manager was awesome and took great care of us and got us a new site. They went above and beyond!

Liss was excellent!
I do wish the USFS would open Loop A and fix the broken water pipes however.

Very friendly camp host gave us map of area (never was given one on previous visits). Because of that map we found trail head at mile 31 & experienced the most beautiful trail with the most gorgeous & diverse display of wild flowers we have ever seen. So thankful for the gift of that map. We love the spacing between camp sites.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- Gates open at 7 AM and close at 10 PM; camping is limited to designated spaces with a maximum of 8 people per site. Prohibitions include horses, off-road vehicles, fireworks, and amplified music. Ensure cleanliness and proper trash disposal to avoid fines.
- For First Come First Served sites, arrive in person to check availability and claim your site; reservations for other sites must be made at least 5 days in advance.
- 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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
