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.

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 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.
