Loved the mountains and seeing the wildlife in the area. We saw three moose, four deer and other animals. The campground was great. We mainly used RVs but had some tent campers.
My only complaint is that this is next to the Stewart Falls and Timp trailhead and we had several hikers go through our campground with no regard to us being there. The restrooms, which are reserved for paid campers, was being used by anyone who came by. We had hikers going through tents thinking it was okay. The traffic on the road at night was atrocious with motorbikes zooming through the canyon with their loud exhaust. We had some of campers leave early due to the night noise.
It would be appreciated if the forest service put up signs stating restrooms are not for public and provided a key to registered campers to keep the restrooms locked. The gate to the campground is in disrepair. We had people coming in through the gate to park thinking the field was open camping or just to hike on the trailhead.
Honestly, campers are paying $400 night to use this campground. Forest service and camp host really doesn't care to make the camp experience worthwhile, at least while we were there. I guess they are there just to collect their money.
Would we come back? Probably, but would ask for some of these changes ahead of time from camp host or rangers to manage the situation. It would be nice if those who managed the campsite, would actually manage the campsite.

The space was beautiful. The camp host was friendly.
However, really rude people dressed in matching outfits staying at the BYU Aspen Grove camp next door would walk right through our camp.

Facilities are great, but price is high and you're right next to a fairly busy road. Overall a good time, but you might find a better value elsewhere!

If you are planning to use this site as a wedding venue, be prepared for an emotional and logistical rollercoaster. In the end, we had the wedding day of our dreams and couldn't be happier with how well it turned out, but it wasn't always clear we would get to this point.
- Be prepared to do some cleaning up before your event, since other users have unfortunately left trash behind. Always Leave No Trace!
- Bring your own water and trash bins. We rented a trailer with a locking door to be our bear-proof "dumpster".
- I recommend table cloths for the picnic tables, since many of them have splinters/holes and need to be repainted.
- There are about 9-12 mostly flat spots for tent campers among the trees surrounding the meadow. The middle of the meadow has a gradual slope, tall grass and is not idea for tent camping.
- Allen, the Campground Host at the nearby Mt. Timpanogos Campground, was incredibly helpful and nice.
- While away from the site, keep your valuables locked in a car. Stewart Falls and Mt. Timpanogos hikers frequently walk through the space and we found strangers helping themselves to our coolers and trash bags. (Like, who the heck does that?)
As others have stated, this is such a beautiful area and we were so grateful to have our big day in the mountains with our friends and family.

I booked this campground to have a small private wedding with my family and friends. This campground is way overpriced for what is included. The camp host is up the mountain at a different campground. Doesn’t not monitor anything that goes on. The gate is closed to the parking lot(that is where the campers are supposed to park) -not sure how they think you can park 25 campers in there. They also have no designated campsites for tents. They only have one fire ring. The bathrooms are opened once you check in but you will have random people walking through the campground to use it… doesn’t matter what time of day it is. Then we had some teenagers come and pop up a tent at 10pm and start using our firewood and claimed they didn’t know they were supposed to reserve it. We tried putting up signs saying the wedding was a private event and the forest service came over and said it wasn’t allowed even though we rented the space. This site is misleading, the actual amphitheater is not included in the site reserved. Extremely disappointed with the respect of people and with the amount we paid for the site for what was actually there.

This is such a beautiful place. I had my wedding here. We reserved the group campsite and held our ceremony on the stage even though the stage wasn't able to reserve. Unfortunately there had been some graffiti that had been not quite all the way cleaned off which is of course not the parks fault. The water spigots are turned on the beginning of June but by the 7th water still wasn't flowing consistently. Otherwise the day turned out beautifully and I'm so grateful to have been able to have such a special day in these gorgeous mountains.
