What Guests Are Saying

American Forks Campground offers a lovely setting with well-maintained sites and a pleasant walk to the river. Most campsites provide good privacy and are adequately spaced. However, the campground lacks fresh water, so visitors should bring their own or find it at nearby campgrounds.

I actually missed the turn off to this campground because it looked like a horse trail riding place. A little ways up the road I discovered Cedar Springs Campground and a prestine campsite right on the river. Cedar Springs is further from the highway with no horse activity (flies, dust) within it so I parked at the campsite and stayed there. It felt like paradise

What a great spot I got! Walking distance to the river also drove to bumping lake there I was so dissapointinted to see several trash dumpsters full with garbage all around. Looked like it had not picked up in awhile. But the campground was tidy and dumpster there was empty :)
