Jordan Pines

Make sure you don't reserve this site on the day of a marathon. Otherwise, the site is pretty much as advertised.

The one star goes to the extremely clean bathroom. Thank you hosts!

This site stressed me out for months when I learned that the tent sleeping area is shared with another large group site. This site should not be for 100 people and the parking lot was near impossible for sedans to get into. The picnic area was full sun for most of the day and so hot in early August.

Beautiful area, water at the site, and we got lucky with nice neighbors but will never book this site for a group again.

The recycled road base in the parking lot was a mess. It was bumpy and uncompacted. It was so poorly compacted that my trailer tire sunk into the road base while parked. While trying to turn around pulling my trailer I actually got stuck. Fortunately I have 4-wheel drive and I was able to pull out of the hole. The parking lot needs to be leveled and compacted. I will say that my younger grandchildren had a great time jumping their bikes over the parking lot bumps. Fortunately none were injured. It was indicated that the site was shaded. The remote tent sites were shaded but the picnic area was in full sun. Overall I would not want to use the facility in the future unless the parking lot was finished. Considering the cost the site could be improved. Thanks for reading my rant.

We hosted a large birthday party at the Limber Grove site, and it was perfect for our needs! The site is well maintained, with plenty of space. The tables are clean, and there is lots of room to put out food and have people sit. The fire pit was in great shape, and the bathrooms were clean. Most of all, the site was absolutely beautiful, and rather private. We had our own parking lot for our guests (and there was plenty of room for cars for 50 or so guests.) Occasionally we'd catch glimpses of the people at the next site over (the two sites share bathrooms), but it felt almost private. A small group also did the Donut falls hike, and it was great to have the site right next to a trail to offer a hiking experience too. We didn't meet the camp host in person, but there was a number listed which we called with some questions and got great support.

Only one note of caution: if you are planning to have a lot of people camp, I'd say there aren't many tent sites at this particular site. For our gathering we had a large party in the afternoon but most people left as it got dark and only a few people camped over, (some in a van) so it wasn't a problem. But walking around I didn't see many good tent sites (a lot of the clearings seemed to be on slopes). There are maybe 2-3 tent sites nestled in the trees and then there would be room for tents in the grass close to the parking lot. But for a true large group tent camping experience, another site might be preferable. The folks next door in the Lodgepole site did not have room for as many cars, but seemed to have room for a lot of tents, and we didn't check out the other sites at Jordan Pines, so this comment is limited to the Limber Grove site.

This is a beautiful campground. We love it so much.

This is an excellent group campsite. The bathrooms are clean, the picnic tables and cooking areas are sizable and well-maintained. There are plenty of trees and shade and a fantastic hike close by.

It was so clean and the site was wonderful and great access from our home in West Jordan, only 17.3 miles

We enjoyed our stay at the Jordan Pines Campground. The restrooms were close to the site and were clean. The Donuts Falls Trail was within walking distance and really fun. We will definitely stay again at this awesome group site that has plenty of room for tents and outdoor activities.

The group site had lots of room for tents but none of it was shaded compared to other group sites in the same canyon.

The eating area was nice with great tables but it was also full sun during most of the day. And the water spigot knob kept falling off- such an easy fix I'm not sure why it was a problem.

The paths were well maintained and the toilets were kept clean. I am disappointed that we paid more for this group site than the neighboring Spruces but didn't have bathrooms with flushable toilets and a sink for washing hands. This year is the one year it would have been nice to have a sink with running water. And no garbage in the bathroom. There is sign that asks for no garbage to be put in the toilets and I get it, but put a small can in the girls bathroom for feminine needs. It is embarrassing for young girls to have to carry that stuff all around to dispose of and a pain especially at night when garbages are stored in the car. Please allow a garbage to be put in there.

The kids found a couple different places where groups had built a make shift fire pit and started a fire. With fire danger high these should have been dismantled to be discouraged instead of left for others to find and use. If we are supposed to keep fire in a fire pit there needs to be more vigilance in the area.

The caretakers were kind and warned us if the moose in the area. It was fun to see the old moose one of the days. While we had a good time and it was fun, I can see why the Spruces is much more popular.

The campsite is beautiful. The picnic table area stays shaded thru almost the whole day. There are lots of places to put tents. This place is a winner.
