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.

Great proximity to Provo Falls, Mirror Lake and many beautiful hikes but the vault toilets were horrible (even for vault toilets) and the dumpsters were so full we couldn’t get our garbage in. May have been due to the fact we camped over a holiday weekend.

This specific site is walk in only. Reservation doesn't mention this. You'll have to carry all your gear to the site. Campground is nice though.

My particular campsite was quite small and narrow. I don’t see how more than 2 tents can fit, so the 3 gigantic parking spaces associated with the site were a bit of a waste. The site is also super close to one of its neighbors, so be prepared to take in some of your neighbors’ kids as they play behind what they reasonably think is their site. The bugs in July ‘23 were really intense, but I understand from some locals that this has been an extreme year for that. The site is also quite close to the campground road, so don’t choose if you’re a light sleeper. All that said, this area of alpine meadows and forests is truly gorgeous. Highly recommend the drive up to Mirror Lake — well-maintained but dramatic vistas. Overall, I enjoyed my visit.

Beautiful and quiet. The only problem was being so close to the outhouse and the smell from that. Close to Trial Lake where we were able to catch a lot of fish. Overall, it was great!

Soapstone has been a favorite destination for years now. It is a 1 1/2 hour drive from the Salt Lake valley. Sites are spacious and private. I could not see or hear the people in the spot next to us. We camped Sunday into Monday so the campground was not full and was very quiet. Camp host was very helpful.
