Camp hosts were wonderful. Sites were clean and well maintained. Frustrating that there was no water...seems like the water system could be repaired fairly easily, but we worked through it.

The camp host was very nice. The campground was clean with big trees for shade and a creek. It's off the main nebo loop road so it wasn't very noisy. The sites seemed far enough apart that you had some privacy.

Bathrooms (pit toilets) were very clean and handwashing station outside each was much appreciated. Beautiful camping setting. Very impressed.

We had a fantastic stay at the Ponderosa campground! The entire place was incredibly clean, including the pit toilets. Watch out for bushes with thorns. The nearby creek drowns out most noise. Overall a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this campground.

Love this location. Pit toilet building clean, even had garbage bag inside and soap at outside spigot, but the door's handle needed to be repaired, was a little loose and could not be locked properly. A person walked in on a person in our party because of this. We are sure it will be fixed quickly.
