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.

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.

- 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.
