This is a great site that is so close to our home here in Salt Lake. Beautifully maintained and just the coziest sites.
We have a smaller trailer about 24 ft and this site fit us beautifully.
Had the sweetest deer come right up to us while we walked around the camp sites. Just a great experience.
We will be back again soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at Group site C. It was the perfect size for our family of 13 with 4 little ones. The flushing bathrooms were kept clean, the campfire, benches, and grills were a big blessing. Having the volleyball area was a definite plus, it was a great place for the little kids to play. We felt secluded enough to be comfortable. We'd definitely stay again!

Beautiful spot- We were at upper loop 30 and had a large campsite that fit two pretty big tents. It was right near the creek and bathrooms (w/out water but the bathrooms with water were close by). Only downfall, not a ton of space to gather with a group of 8. The picnic table is surrounded by rocks and isn't very sturdy. I'd definitely recommend. Worth the disadvantages.

Lush green everywhere, mountains and trees and the river right next to us— absolutely beautiful! Nice tent pads, good room for cooking, and a mama and baby moose walked right through, first the baby, we hid, and then mama. Excellent stay.
