Nice quite place to relax and have fun. Bring your corn hole game. Grab your Chalk and paint and sketch some scenery out. Go for a walk or hike the local trails. There is lots to do.
Don't forget to bring your garbage can. Remember you pack it in you pack it out. Let's keep our campground clean.

The camp hosts were awesome. Very helpful during our stay.
Staying in the campground is peaceful and relaxing.
Took a drive around Nebo Loop. Very beautiful.
8.5 miles to Nephi if you need to go into town.
The Ponderosa Pines are gorgeous and stand between 70-100 feet tall.

We have loved camping in the Ponderosa Uinta for years. This campground has always been well taken care of. They have made significant improvements with the bathroom houses. It is annoying that there is no water available at the site.

The best part is the camp ground hosts. They were so friendly and helpful. They added a nice atmosphere to the camp site and answered any questions we had. They worked hard to clean up sites quickly after campers checked out. The ensured the camp site was safe and comfortable for the guests and also that the environment was properly respected.

Policies & Rules

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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
