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.

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 mi to Nephi if you need to go into town.
The Ponderosa Pines are gorgeous and stand between 70-100 ft tall.

Awesome camp hosts. Very helpful. Nice large campsites. Very clean well kept campground. We stayed in the two glamping tents and they were spacious, well appointed and comfortable. Exactly what we were looking for.
