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

    Payson Lakes Campground is beautiful! It is a short drive from SLC, but it feels like a different…read moreworld! This is a popular campground, so you will need to make your reservation well in advance, especially for the nicer/more private sites. I visited on Labor Day weekend, and the campground was full. Lots of kids running around. But our campsite (B20) was very secluded and private, and we had a wonderful stay! The location was close to the bathroom but not too close to our neighbors, which is our favorite combination. The lake was extremely low.. seeing the boat dock was almost comical, as it looked like a high dive over a long stretch of rocks! But it was also sad to see this, as I'm sure the lake was even more beautiful when full. My picture makes the lake look like a tiny swamp, but there was actually room for paddle boarding/kayaking. I didn't go in, as walking through muck to get to the actual water isn't really my thing. But I can see how it would be a fun day for a family with kids. Many of the campsites didn't have a private feel to them, so I would recommend browsing pictures online before choosing your site if you're picky like me. I did an inventory of the most private sites, so few free to msg me for more info. I will be back here for sure!

    My review is centered just on the Payson Lake beach site. We had a WONDERFUL day here…read more First thing to note- it is a LONG, windy road in with no cell service! I had no idea it would be that way, but it was a gorgeous drive. It's $10 for the day, on your honor since there was no guard in the booth. Be sure to grab an envelope to stick in your dashboard! The lake and beach area is BEAUTIFUL! Bring your own life jacket, paddle boards, rafts, and kayaks out and enjoy the sunshine. The lake doesn't seem to have much of a current, so it's a great place to float and row around! I believe you can fish as well. You may be able to find a picnic bench or two, but plan on bringing your own seating and overhead coverings, because it is HOT in August! This is definitely a hidden gem in the Uinta National Forest, and we will be back! Enjoy!

The cabin we stayed in was so nice, clean, and had so many features. This seriously was one of the best sites we've stayed at, the fun little decorations were an amazing touch. Felt very private and the views were beautiful. We absolutely recommend!

    This property was recently taken over by KOA, but it doesn't quite live up to the standards of…read moreother KOAs that I've visited. This one is very run down with only a hint of staff anywhere. I booked online, received an email confirmation and then an email on the day of the reservation with instructions to check in. I followed the instructions, but it still told me to go to the office. When I arrived, there was no one in sight. After several minutes, someone did show up and gave us a map and vague directions-saying that the site numbers were backwards, and circled our spot on the map. We found it, but the sites were not backwards, they were numbered totally different than the map (the map showed T1, T2, T3, etc. and the tent sites were labeled A, B, C, etc.) The sites were all overgrown with weeds and there was one picnic table to share between them all. We walked the property a bit and found that everything is in disrepair, run down and in need of maintenance. I expect natural vegetation, of course, but the weeds with prickly stickers were everywhere, and impossible to avoid. The bathrooms are a pretty long haul from the tent sites, requiring campers to walk a good distance. Only one of the four stalls in the women's restroom lock and there were no paper towels in the container. I didn't attempt to use the shower after seeing how dirty they were. We stopped by the store around 5:30 to buy firewood and it was closed. That seems pretty early to close up on a weekend. We paid about $30 for a night but even that might have been too much. Hopefully the new management makes some much needed changes.
