Diamond

Overview

Diamond Campground is located among shady cottonwoods and willow at an elevation of 5,200 feet. The family sites are located just 15 miles from Spanish Fork and the group sites are 2-3 miles further. Visitors enjoy exploring local trails and relaxing along the stream.

Recreation

The stream and creek offer fishing for brown and cutthroat trout. An interpretive nature trail winds through the campground along the stream. Hiking, biking and off-road vehicle trails are abundant in the area.

Facilities

This large campground offers group sites, single and double-family sites and walk-to tent sites. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Picnic tables, fire rings, utility tables and cement site pads are provided at each site; some sites on less-shady Loop B have picnic shelters.

Group sites have picnic shelters, tables, campfire rings, grills, water spigots and large parking areas. Sites 1A and B are about 2 miles beyond the family campground and sites 3-6 are a mile beyond that. 

Natural Features

Diamond Fork Stream and Wanrhodes Creek run through the site. Loop A has nice cover from cottonwoods and is more shady; Loop B is more open with few trees but plentiful grasses and sagebrush.

Nearby Attractions

Diamond Fork Canyon has an array of things to do and see. Red Ledges Picnic Area is located less than a mile from the campground, with beautiful red rock formations like Diamond Fork Arch.

Fifth Water Hot Springs is a popular attraction. A 2.5-mile trail rewards hikers with scenic views and several hot springs pools of varying temperatures.

Monks Hollow Trail for hiking, biking and off-road vehicle riding, begins 5 miles from the campground.

I used Diamond as a base camp for my group as we hunted for deer in the mountains above it. The site was excellent. It was clean and well kept. I met with the site host (Joe) who was friendly and very helpful. I especially liked to 6am wake up (wild turkeys) each morning it was very pleasant. We were tent camping and the weather was a bit chilly (31 degrees). None the less the Diamond campgrounds were perfect

3 stars, mainly due to the fact that when we arrived, there was already someone in our campsite. Talking to the camp host, we came to find out that we had booked it, and then the site was mistakenly opened up to First Come First Serve after the fact. I think this was a Rec.gov issue and not necessarily a Diamond issue. We chose not to kick out the family that was there and picked another available spot, that turned out to be a really great spot for our kiddos. Joe, the manager for our stay, was very accommodating and helped us find another spot we could stay at. Clean toilets, peaceful area with lots of trees and privacy. We overall enjoyed our stay and will be back again.

Campsite was kept tidy and it is close to the river, which was nice for fishing. The camp host was great and informative. I plan to go again.

This campsite should be considered a group site as there is no separation of campsites. We ended up being in the middle of a family reunion, it was a very unwelcoming environment, so we left the next morning instead of staying the whole weekend.
