My wife ended up in the hospital prior to leaving so we didn't camp at all.

Campground was very nice. When we visited it had just opened 3 days prior to us arriving. Unfortunately everything that we came to see or do was pretty much closed or extremely muddy wet due to the flooding. The campground host was awesome she was friendly and helpful. We stayed on site 9 we fit our 45 foot Fifth-Wheel in with little trouble but the road getting to the site is a little tight and the loop at the end, well let's just say I didn't take it wide enough and had to do some backing up and pulling forward a few times to get around it. The creek running next to campground was awesome to fall asleep to, it was running pretty hard and high. We will stop by again when we are in the area.

We reserved site no. 18 for 4 nights. The campground was clean and the host was very friendly and helpful. Salt Creek through the campground was high and muddy but no issues with that. Wished we could have gone over the Nebo Loop but the road was washed out near the top and had been gated off just above the campground turnoff. We enjoyed our stay and will go back later in the year. Hopefully the Loop will be accessible by then!

Site is a little tight for a tent. The upper space is level but too close to the fire pit. Moving to a safer distance from the fire pit puts the tent on a bit of a slope. Great clean toilet rooms.

Campsites were clean with beautiful trees and shade.
However, 8 mile proximity to city of Nephi encourages locals to dominate the camp sites, i.e., this is a Mormon campground.
The camp host seemed to focus on hosting a kiddy day care center with un-leased dogs and controlled access to those camp sites adjacent to the camp host trailer.
Blower noise late in day and much bright lights late at night by coming and going by locals.
Host would blow by in her cart with never a wave.
Otherwise OK.
