What Guests Are Saying

Whiting campground offers a peaceful and well-maintained experience, with clean facilities and spacious, private campsites. Many guests appreciated the friendly hosts and the beautiful natural surroundings, including the nearby stream. However, the lack of water and issues with the vault toilets were noted as significant drawbacks.

I wouldn't recommend this park to anyone that needs to smell fresh air and use a Cpap machine. They don't care if your battery dies or you can't breathe or not. They tell you to turn off your generator even if it is quite and doesn't bother anyone. The law says they have to let you use a generator to breathe if you have to, but they don't care about that. The restrooms were horrible 😢. It would make you gag to go in them. You could smell them at least 100 yds away and 3 campsites away.

We tried the yurt for the first time and it was a great experience. It is a little expensive for the fact that it’s still just a tent. So we wished we had running water. The bathrooms are clean and the staff was very friendly. Great campgrounds for family

When we made the reservation (and paid full price) the group site was listed as having water available. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we found that the water had been turned off, and there was no water available. (we assume for construction somewhere, but didn't see any)
The site was also quite dirty from previous groups. There was a lot of trash in the picnic area and throughout the tent areas. There is also only one spot for a trailer, so if your group has more than one trailer, you would likely want to find another spot than Group Site B. The picnic tables are pretty worn down, and most had to be cleaned before we could use them. There's also a trailhead at one end of Group Site B which brings quite a lot of traffic to the site. There was constantly cars/trucks/horses/people going by. So kids had to be careful if they were playing near the road.
There's a lot of trees in the spot which is nice, but we won't be staying here again. For the high cost of the group site, I'd recommend going somewhere else.

Other than no toilet paper in the vault toilets and no water in the taps, we had a great time.

This is one of our favorite campgrounds in Utah. We love how easy it is to access. It is beautiful and shady, and very well kept. We love that it is close enough to town to run for anything you forget, but far enough out of town that you feel like you are truly camping in the mountains.

Good time of the year to go. We enjoyed visiting this campground again. Our camp host Joe was very helpful and friendly. He did an good job making sure we were happy with our stay. We hear the restrooms were very clean. He kept busy making sure everyone was taken care of. Good stay for us.
