Monte Cristo is praised for its beautiful, well-maintained campground and attentive host, creating a pleasant camping experience. Visitors enjoyed the cooler temperatures, spacious sites, and opportunities for wildlife viewing.

We had an enjoyable experience for 5 nights at Monte Cristo. Some excitement due to a black bear in the area. There was a chance that the campground could have been closed, but it did not close. They did bring in a bear trap, bus as far as I know were not able to trap the bear!

We loved site 18 - very spacious and on a beautiful hill. Mike (the host) was attentive and kind, and the temps up at Monte Cristo were a great relief from the warmer temps elsewhere in Utah.

Best camping experience ever and a great campground host Michael. Very pristine environment with wildflowers and towering firs and a special treat for wildlife lovers including species from chipmunks to deer as well as hummingbirds.

Camp host on top of everything. Very clear about expectations, accommodating, and attentive. Also left us alone. Lots of trees being taken down, he let us know about everything going on. Great stay.

What a beautiful and relaxing venue for camping. We enjoyed hiking, dark sky watching (a stunning and remarkable experience), encountering wildflowers of many varieties, and meeting up and close with wildlife, including squirrels, chipmunks, deer, and birds of many kinds. We made a roaring campfire and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows and sang and danced to satellite oldies on our last night. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a very pleasant outdoor vacation.

We booked camp site 33. Online it says a 32 foot trailer could fit there, but we definitely could not fit. It was just a little bump out on the side of the main road through the camp. We ended up leaving, and we were able to get refunded. Just wanted to post this in case anyone else thinks of booking this site with a trailer that is bigger than a pop up. It honestly should probably just be a tent site and the bump out could be used for your car. Beautiful campground and area though.
