So much fun! We did the archery range and hatchet throwing the night we got there. You need to have someone trained as a "range master" by the office staff before getting the items and using the targets. The ropes course can only be used if you have someone trained at Zions or Ensign Ranch before hand. They have a waterslide for the summer months usage. There is a human foosball area set up for use next to that. There is a Zipline that goes across the creek to the little island nearby those. The island has a bridge to get to or a rope bridge to attempt. We participated in an orientation compass course that didn't have a good starting point, but we used the stump by the Manager's trailer near the front. They also have plastic tubes that you can push people around in the field, 2 baseball backstops, log teeter totters, teatherball, horse shoes, volleyball, bucket swings, tire swing, and trails. There are flushable bathrooms with showers in the center of camp and lots of porta potties around. Only 2 cars per camp site and the other cars can be parked in parking areas. Many have undercovered picnic tables and great camping sites. No pets allowed on property. We enjoyed our trip!
Nice outdoorsy feel but very comfortable with cooking and bathrooms, etc. love the water features, great for the youth. This place gets better every year, which is part of the reason we keep bringing our Stake back again and again.
The sites are more private than I would have thought. The tree cover is beautiful. It is pretty noisy with trains, but it rained our night there and we didn't hear many campers. I had a good time, will return, but here are my complaints and a few suggestions- The second "playground" is just one of those tiny toddler things (like little tikes or playschool) you might even have in your home. It's NOT a playground. Was very disappointed in that. By contrast the one closer to the entrance is very nice. The portapotties are plentiful, but hadn't been emptied in 5 days from our visit so the smell was pretty bad. Maybe there is a reason not to, but some sort of air freshener would be nice. Also a small shelf for your flashlight would be nice. Apparently there is no fishing on Sundays, which would have been nice to know and was never mentioned (if it's on the website, I didn't see it) or listed and kind of ruined that part of the trip for us. Why I'll go back: big, clean, sites. Beautiful area. Pretty cheap rental cost. Plenty of trash cans, water spigots, and portapotties to make things easier. EDIT: Apologies for reviewing the wrong place. Google Maps must have thought I was at this place. I'm going to see if I can move my review, otherwise I'll delete.
Our first time here for our church’s Father and Son campout. The grounds are immaculate. Super clean restroom. Celestial state of being this recreational spot.
Fantastic place to camp for the entire family! Highly recommend.
