Several campgrounds were swarming with wasps. Anytime we made a meal, tons would show up.

The road was paved all the way to my campsite. My regular commuter vehicle had no issues getting there.

The host was friendly. My campsite was marked as reserved under my name. I arrived shortly after check-in and had no issues getting into my site. The campsite was clean except for rocks that were painted by previous campers. My campsite had a picnic table and firepit as shown online. The firepit was shallow with no grill attachments. The site was somewhat small. There was enough parking space for 2 cars/trucks. There was little space between my site and the neighboring sites.

The established bathroom nearest to my site was out of order. Porta-potties were provided in it's place. The room was large and in a relatively clean condition. The toilet paper was stocked. A door lock for the bathroom was present and working. There appeared to be a soap/sanitizer dispenser although I didn't check to see if it was stocked as I'd brought my own sanitizer.

The environment was loud and warm during the start of June with a low of 57°F/13.8°C during my visit. Slept outside of my sleeping bag until about 1am before it got too cold. There were lots of wasps around the campsite would get stuck under my rainfly and one even managed to sneak into my tent. There were no active fire restrictions but the host requested all fires to be small with flames not reaching too high above the top of the pit. The shallow fire pit made this a challenge. There was little to no fallen or dead wood around my site. Since this campground is right next to busy roads you'll hear 4-wheelers and motorcycles driving through from dawn to dusk. It was very noisy. The forest was lush and green. There's quite a lot to do nearby including a few hikes. I packed in all the water I would need so I didn't look for or use a spigot. My cellular provider is Boost Mobile and I had 1-3 bars.

I wasn't a big fan of this campground and likely won't be coming here again.

We had an amazing time here, the camp host was very friendly! Being right next to Stuart cascades was awesome, as we were very active during our stay here. We even had our very own chirpy squirrel who talked to us every time we cooked. We hope to be back here soon.

Hikes were great! The location to many hiking spots was perfect. It was quiet for the most part. Besides it being right off the road.

Here's a brief review:

**Mt Timpanogos Campground — ★★★★★**

We spent two wonderful nights at Mt Timpanogos Campground and couldn't have asked for a better basecamp. The location is fantastic — just minutes from Sundance Resort and the Provo River, with easy access to some genuinely beautiful hiking trails nearby. The campground itself was clean and well-maintained, and our camp host, Sarah, went above and beyond — attentive, helpful, and quick to answer every question we had. This was our 5th year at Mt Timp and we'll definitely be back!
