Stayed four days first of August. Very quiet weekdays and not much more on weekends. Hiked Mount Nebo for some great views and other trails in the basin. The town of Nephi only fifteen minutes away was convenient.

The campground was clean, quiet and easy to get to. We visited Devil's Kitchen and I believe Payson Lakes. It was a fun experience for our family's yearly camp.

This is one of our favorites!! Love this place every time, only downfall this year was the infestation of box elder bugs. We have been here multiple times and never had an issue but this year was awful. No cell service but who needs it when you’re leaving to be away. Will go again for sure!!!

The campground itself is nice it's quiet was peaceful you could go for a walk and join nature play in the creek and just relax. As far as the camp host they were lazy the bathrooms were dirty the campground was dirty I don't have nice things to say about the campground host I think they're lazy they were never there.

We had a site reserved for 2 days. We asked the camp hostess if we could get the campsite for another day. She looked on her paperwork and told us that we could, the site was open. She said, "This site is now reserved for you". The next day a family came, trailer in tow, with confirmation on the website that the site was reserved for them. Being a good citizen we loaded our stuff to leave. It was then that we noticed that the reservation sign had their name written on it. The hostess wrote their name on the sign but did not tell us that the camp was no longer ours. The father of the family yelled at me, called me a liar, and wanted to beat me up.
Two years prior we reserved this same camp but waited for 3 hours for someone to move their trailer. The host did not update the reservation signs, so another family set up and payed for it.
I feel like I was set up by the hostess for a near violent confrontation. I am upset that this other family thinks that we were trying to 'steal' their camp site. I'm really upset that this family came to have a good holiday, and it made their father so angry that it may have ruined their campout.
This encounter was very unpleasant for both of our families.
I do not feel confident in trusting this camping process.

Our favorite campground nestled under a grove of ponderosa trees, perfect for hammocks! Everything is so clean, including the pit toilets. The hosts are very friendly and so helpful. We camp here a few times each summer. My favorite part is that there is no internet or cell service, requiring you to unplug for your entire stay.
