Knotty Pine RV Resort - Clubhouse seating

Had an amazing weekend. Staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful.. Pool was a definite plus…read more. Will Definitely be going Back.

I first heard about Knotty Pine RV Resort on social media-someone had posted about the beautiful…read morescenery and the plethora of activities to do, but what hooked me were the pictures of the tiny house (cottage) available to rent. I'm a sucker for tiny houses, in fact I dream to live in one someday, so I was looking forward to my stay here. We do a decent amount of "camping" in our trailer, but this weekend, it was the tiny house that called to me. I was absolutely shocked that I was able to reserve it last minute for Friday through Sunday. We arrived after the registration office was closed, but found our information in a box by the front door. The cottage was far better than the pictures on the resort's website-it has a main bedroom with a queen bed and four single beds up in the loft. There's also a small couch in the living area. You could fit six people in here easily. Note that the loft is only about five feet tall, so most people won't be able to stand upright. But it's a kid's paradise! The kitchen is stocked with basic dishes and utensils plus full oven, stove and refrigerator. The bathroom has simple shampoo/conditioner/soap. The quality is pretty low, so if you want nicer stuff, bring your own from home. There is a TV in the living area, but not in the bedroom or loft. There is a picnic table and fire pit outside, so you can get a taste of the camping experience while still enjoying the luxury of a "home." The campground itself is very pretty-lots of beautiful trees and a tranquil river that runs nearby. There is a clubhouse with pool table, arcade game and several seating areas to socialize. They have activities occasionally, mostly geared toward the littles. The layout of the campground is slightly disjointed, and the further toward the back you go, the less it's maintained. There were some spots that appeared to be storage areas rather than camping spots, but they were dispersed between the others. Since we did not pull our RV, I can't talk to how hard it was to navigate, but there are back-in as well as pull-through spots available. The pool and hot tub were always hopping-people seemed to enjoy those. They advertise having wi-fi, but it's terrible. Some people may not care about that, since you're going camping in the mountains. But if you're online reading reviews, I reckon you might want at least a little internet connectivity. It's there, but it's pretty slow. And the cellular data (I have T-Mobile) is nonexistent. It's a beautiful place, and once I get over my with drawl from being online, I'll find myself extremely relaxed and one with nature.

Ledgefork is an incredibly beautiful campground in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The…read morecampground is managed by the Utah Recreation Company/Go Camp Utah. It is located about 30 minutes Northeast of Kamas, with the last 5 miles on a dirt/rock road. Reservations are easily made on the Recreation government website. The campground is on the edge of the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir, with access to a number of hiking trails nearby. While the Reservoir itself is open to boats, many areas seemed shallow and mucky to me, and I did not see boats in the water. I did see plenty of people fishing, however, so it's likely a good spot for that. The section of the Reservoir near the campground is dried up, leaving behind an eerie looking landscape of jagged tree trunks and aquatic plants. It's not the most beautiful sight, but it is definitely very interesting. The campsites themselves are located across 2 loops. While the campground was completely full during my visit, Loop A definitely felt spacious and private, whereas Loop B felt crowded and like a huge fishing and country music party (although I didn't see the "tent only" sites). Which would probably be fun if that's your thing, but I prefer private, quiet, and wooded sites. So our site (32) in Loop A was perfect for me! The site itself was very large and had lots of beautiful trees, just as many of the sites in the loop were fairly heavily wooded. We saw a number of different types of birds in addition to squirrels and chipmunks among the pine and aspen trees. We also awoke to bear poop along the path to the dumpster, so keep in mind you might have some large guests lurking around at night! The campsites do not have water (a few spigots are located throughout each loop), electricity, or a dump station. As we were heading back to SLC, we stopped at Jordanelle to use theirs, but the line was VERY long and we had to pay $10. My husband and I visited Ledgefork on our first trip with our vintage trailer and had an amazing time that we will always remember! We will be back when the campgrounds open for the season next year.

The campsite was very nice. Although the reservations were not up to date when we arrived and it…read morecaused some confusion. The creek is nice to explore. I would recommend bringing a small boat to fish on the lake

Aspen (not to be confused with Aspen Grove) Campground is a beautiful spot WAAAYYYYYY out in the…read moremiddle of nature! The campground consists of 31 regular sites (some doubles) and a group site, with no hook-ups. When I visited (Memorial Day weekend), there were hardly any people there, so it felt like we had the entire beautiful place to ourselves! Site 24 was beautiful, private, and had easy access to the river behind. There were multiple people fishing in the river and some kids with inner tubes, but the water felt really cold and seemed too shallow for any kind of swimming. But it would be great for kids wanting to splash around a bit in the summer! Since the campground is so far up in the mountains, the weather is cool when it's too hot for camping in the valley. Nighttime temps got to around 40 when we were there, which was fine for us in our camper trailer. The grounds were kept clean, and while we didn't see the camp host(s), we had no need for assistance during our trip. The drive to the campground from SLC was tough on our vehicle, which is an older SUV hauling a 17' vintage trailer. Even after getting up Parley's Canyon, there were additional significant stretches of incline and then about a mile on a dirt road before getting to the site. I do love being in the middle of nowhere, so this was fine, but I would take this into consideration the next time we are wanting to visit.

I love to camp. Usually I just find a spot off a dirt road and call it good. However I do camp…read morewith people who like the comforts of an established campground. Current Creek campground is a large place with 4 loops. My favorite is D loop because it's closest to the lake. Bathrooms have flush toilets but no showers. Each camp site has a picnic table, grill, fire pit and concrete pad. The camp host station sells ice, firewood and some bare essentials. The star of the show is the lake. Usually you'll find me sitting on the shore waiting for a fish to bite. I've caught rainbows and tiger trout. But even if you don't catch anything the views are spectacular. If you should get lucky and decide to keep your catch there is a fish cleaning station by the boat ramp. Directions, there are 3 ways to get there all involve a bit of graded dirt road. You can take hwy 40 to the Current Creek Road and drive up next to the river, then around the lake. Next option is to turn off hwy 40 at the chicken creek area and take FS road #82. The turn is just before the UDOT facility. Lastly you can take center street from Heber past the Timber Lakes community. There is no cell phone service at the lake or campground. :)
