Spruces - Big Cottonwood

We love the spruces, but the lack of running water this year hurt the experience.

Get the water fixed at the campground it has been two years.

Staff was wonderful. Campground was clean. No running water this summer, so bathrooms were closed. Portapotties were on site.

Spruces campground is always such a nice setting. The group site we had worked out very well. The one big thing is that there was NO WATER available. We knew there would be no water, so we were prepared but still a pain and because of no water, no flush toliets. IF those things would have been working then an excellent would have been the rating.

A cool oasis in the mountains. Beautiful place and very peaceful.
Hiking and biking activities are great for the kids.
Clean and accessible bathrooms and water.

So beautiful! Lots of campers but still offers privacy. We will definitely be back.

Positives: Easy reservation system. Beautiful venue. Campsites were very clean. Noise level from other campers was little to none. Portable restrooms were amazingly clean and not stinky. The stream was beautiful and mesmerizing. Crazy hailstorm that almost collapsed our canopies (loved it!). Plenty of parking for our group. Camp hosts and attendants were very helpful and friendly.
Negatives: No water (had to bring our own). No flush restrooms available (porta-potties only). Campground is next to the highway to Brighton so we had to deal with traffic noise late into the night and very early in the morning. One of our sites had only one possible tent location, but we managed.
Bottom line: We would absolutely camp here again. I just hope they get the water figured out by next time.

Our family loves Spruces campground. The spaces are far apart, mostly, and provide shade. The area is lush with greenery and the sound of small streams running through the area. The honey pots are cleaned regularly.
This year, we discovered the trailhead to donut falls. We wish there was a parking spot down at the end of the campground for campers to park and shorten the hike.

We have been without our flush toilets now for three summers. Who should get the water line repaired????
This year we have NO water at all!!!

This campground is in a great location with scenic views from any location. The overall experience was great. The water was not functional during our stay, so Honey Buckets were the option instead of restrooms. It seems like this is a common issue year after year. It would be nice to actually have bathrooms as planned. They also are allowing fires right now, even with pretty significant restrictions, but don't have firewood onsite as advertised. Besides these few things we will be going back.
