We love this campground! It is spacious, clean and friendly. Tables and fire pits are each site. There are a lot of trees for plenty of shade. Lots of trails and beauty near by. Kids played in the creek, saw some deer and cows. Tamara, the host, was helpful and keep the place super clean. Those were the best smelling and cleanest vault toilets I have ever experienced! We appreciated all her hard work. The 1000 acre wood was out of commission due to Covid, but still fun!

Camp Host Tamara was beyond phenomenal. She had answers to all my questions, her smile and kindness was contagious. she even gave me her personal supply of firewood to cover our first night (we were told by recreation.gov that the host would have wood for sale, so we opted to buy there instead of taking space and weight in the rv).
the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. the wildlife is phenomenal; deer at our campsite. the sounds of cows all day and night was beautiful. (non flushable) bathrooms are very clean. no dumpsters, no running water, no cell service - as long as you know ahead of time (and we did) no problem!! can not wait to go back!

Great little campground. Close to Nephi if you want to sneak down and get a shake at the Nebo Queen. We have stayed in #10, #06, and #15. #12 and #13 are quick to be reserved as they are nice and shady make sure your equipment will fit.

It was good, but, no water. Restrooms open but no water to wash hands or for other things. No camp host. Not sure why these things weren’t there. I love the park.

{"text"=>"We really enjoyed our two days here. We are already making plans for coming back. Access will be a little better once the construction in the canyon is done. The camping spots in the ponderosa pines are kinda close together and not much privacy. There are other spots that have more privacy, but less of the pine trees. The running streams and creeks were so pretty.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
