What Guests Are Saying
The Mt. Timpanogos campground offers a stunning natural setting with beautiful mountain views and convenient access to hiking trails. Camp hosts are noted for being friendly and helpful, enhancing the camping experience. However, noise from partying campers and road traffic, along with issues like wasps and inadequate bathroom facilities, detracted from some visitors' experiences.

In direct sun until about 530. Gorgeous view!
Only downside is itβs next to the road and BYU building so it wasnβt as quiet as I would have like, but still good

I have very mixed reactions to this camping experience.
There was no water. Due to this all the bathrooms were closed and water stations shut down. They put outhouses, which were only serviced every 5 or 6 days. My god that got nasty, and FLIES! So MANY flies!
The campgrounds are gorgeous. The mountain views spectacular. The creek was running and was so lovely to hear! The Sundance resort is super close and provides a civilized break from camping and lifts to the top of the mountain, which is fun for the kids. The stars are breathtaking at night from the campground!
The sites are very old and seriously need updating. The tent areas are not flat and have large sharp rocks embedded in them. The BBQs are melted, bending down over the single center poles that hold them up. Most annoyingly all the sites used to be paved, but the paving started breaking up long long ago so now its a mixture of dirt and chunks of broken blacktop. My daughter twisted her ankle falling off the broken edge unexpectedly. Our dog was incredibly dirty. After the huge downpour with thunder and lightning the whole site was a muddy mess.
BYU has a large retreat facility just outside the campground with hundreds of kids attending. Every single night they have some large and very loud celebration. Every. Single. Night. Until 11pm.
Please repair (or repour!) all the sites. Please level the tent areas. Please replace the tired old BBQs. Please fix the water! Please introduce predators for all the aggressive flies. Please educate BYU on how much they are disrupting the experience for everyone camping here.

The area and the drive to get here is stunning. The sites are pretty but a bit too close to the road and to each other. There was a lot of ruckus coming from nearby Sundance, so donβt expect peace and quiet here. No potable water and no access to restrooms while we were there - only port-a-potties. No trash or recycling services.

Double check that the water is available as well as toilets. Both were out-of-service with no notifications beforehand.

This Campground is a maze and the campsites are not clearly marked. It was very confusing. The bathrooms were closed and there was no water. There were porta potties located in the campground, however, we had human feces and tons of toilet paper in the bushes surrounding our campsite. It did put a damper on the experience. I would have expected better given the location. It was very disappointing.
