This is a great campsite. Lots of trees for shade and fun hikes to do nearby. Mt Nebo is gorgeous. My one complaint was that water was unavailable. I understand they were having a plumbing issue but I think they should have lowered to cost of a campground per night since we had to haul in all of our water.
The rangers were super friendly and kind and the bathrooms (no flushable toilets) were kept very clean. We had a nice stay.

we have been going there every year for over 100 years. My husbands
grandfather helped to plant the ponderosa pine trees in the camp ground. The host this year was awesome. She enforced the rules but in a way that was very nice. She kept the bathrooms nice and clean. She is a very nice lady and a great hostess. The Ute Stampede is always fun. The golf course is nice and kept up . The canyon is beautiful and very peaceful. As usual we enjoyed our family reunion there and will be back next year. The only complaint would be that it would be nice if there was water available.
