What Guests Are Saying
Rock Canyon offers a beautiful and well-kept campground in a stunning location, ideal for those looking to enjoy a lively atmosphere. While there is no onsite manager and noise from nearby campers can be an issue, the facilities, including clean vault toilets and common areas, are well maintained. However, the cost can be high for a short stay, and phone service is not available in this remote setting.

I really enjoyed this spot, it was very beautiful and the camp ground was great. The road up there is pretty rough but it's not bad if you go slow. Our singles ward went up there for a campout, it rained the whole time we were there, but it was still very fun. I would happily go again. It's not far from Provo but feels really remote when you're up there.

It was a little dusty getting in and out, but that is to be expected. Great campsite, very quiet.
