There's a beautiful stream running through the entire site. The tables were clean, which is something that is rare in a camp site. There is also a pool and one community fire pit. Also lots of security and extra vehicle parking in back. This place has some of the most beautiful trees! Everything is green and well maintained. We met the manager, Dusty who was very kind and accommodating. There are alot of amenities for everyone. I would recommend this place highly

The wide open grassy areas, the picnic tables, the trees - it was a veritable emerald hidden away from the rest of the craziness along a busy canyon. Those days are gone. South Fork Park is still there. But gone are the days when you could escape the crowds. They've found South Fork. And they're packed in up there every weekend. The facilities are okay. Two pavilions, a big field, lots of picnic tables, a few grills. The bathrooms today were in horrendous shape, and there was more litter than I'm comfortable with. Parking was tough with so many people there, and there were kids crawling out of every corner you could find. The respite comes when you cross the bridge. There are a few tables with fire pits along the trail, and it was there that we found our area and camped out for the afternoon. Some weenies, some s'mores, some beverages. It was a hot day, but the trees provided lots and lots of shade. There are plenty of amenities. In addition to the restrooms and rentable powered pavilion, you've got a volleyball court, water at several spigots throughout, and great access to a little stretch of river. It's not nearly as high and mighty as the Provo proper, so it's a good choice for parents worried about kids near the raging rapids. Truthfully, I'm disappointed to see that the masses have now converged on South Fork Park. There are days when you can still find some peace, but not weekends. And when it's crowded like that it takes its toll on every part of a park that seems to bend a bit under that kind of stress. If you go, take care of it. It's in a gorgeous setting and should be treated well so it stays gorgeous for everyone who enjoys it in the future. And that seems to be a lot of people.

    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. :)

    This is a beautiful campground-lots of trees, near water and remote enough to feel like you're…read moregetting away, while still close enough to town if you run out of beer and need to make a quick run to the store. Camp sites are clearly labeled with the site number as well as the reservation name-which came in handy when we didn't have our site number and needed to drive around to find our reserved location. Camp hosts Deb & Del were friendly and helpful toward the end of our visit, but when we arrived they were making their rounds and we missed them. The sites were a little tight to navigate-not that they were close together (they're not-there's plenty of privacy!) but the road is narrow and doesn't leave a lot of space to navigate around. Our trailer is 26 inches, and we made it with the help of a few other campers who guided us in. I did not see any pull through sites (they could exist, just not in the loop where we were), so if you're new to backing in, keep this in mind. There are bathrooms available, although we did not use them since we had facilities in our trailer. We did have cell reception (T-Mobile) but our friends (AT&T) did not. Neighbors were respectful and were quiet after hours and we had no problems with our site. After we got setup and started making dinner, we were already checking our calendar to see when we could come back. Smith and Morehouse may become one of my new favorite destinations!

Not just busy busy but omg, where will everyone park? How long do I have to wait in line? Can I even count the number of paddleboarders and kayaks? There's no running water. Nada. Nada drop. So, bring your own! Campground Loop A has a river running through it. But if you have a big rig, a toy hauler , you should think twice as the road was narrow and windy. Spots are NOT pull through - master of maneuvers is needed. However, there were many massive RVs, which made moving down the winding road a challenge. Quiet time was observed by most campers (always subject to change - lol). Plenty of dogs were seen and thankfully, not heard. Outhouses were well kept. We stayed through to a Tuesday - campground decreased by 75%, and there were few people on the water. The night sky here is incredible! HINT: set your camera to a 30sec open shutter.
