Fantastic campground that offers everything we could ask for. Craig and his wife were very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean, paths were in great condition, highlight of our summer.

My family has found the Ponderosa Uinta camp ground to be very quite and relaxing. The restrooms are very clean and well maintained. The camp ground hosts are very personable and delightful people. This why we like this particular camp ground. We have camped there before and we already plan on going back. You can't go wrong camping here.

Loved this little campground! Beautiful ponderosa pines, giving plenty of shade. It looked like a few spots had less shade than we did. We stayed in site #2, right alongside the creek, which was a nice outdoors sound to enjoy the whole trip. Camp hosts were lovely. They saw our daughters riding around on their scooters and gave them a new pack of sidewalk chalk to play with. So nice! There is water at the campground, and vault toilets. We’ll definitely be back!

- 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.
