First time at Camp Nauvoo and loved it! The camp is nestled around beautiful Weber Creek which directly borders most of the 16 sites, aside from those on the upper level with awesome views. We stayed mid-week in late September (#12) and were thrilled to discover we had the whole camp to ourselves for 4 nights! We felt very safe and had more than everything we could possibly need. The camp hosts were welcoming and very dog-friendly. We were given plenty of privacy, but they checked in with us each day in case we needed anything.
As a couple traveling with our dog we could not have asked for a more perfect experience. We were like kids again with a whole summer camp to ourselves! We hiked, fished, and thoroughly explored the camp. There are currently about 2 miles of trail, but you can see the outline for the planned 8 mile trail project that looks exciting! The best part was splashing around in the creek and swimming holes. I’d love to come back in spring when it’s fuller to see how it transforms the landscape!
Although we were overjoyed to have this unique solo experience, it’s clear that Camp Nauvoo is ideal for families or groups. There are a wide variety of accommodations from traditional tent camping, 2 large teepees with cots, several tent cabins and 2 amazing “glamping” cabins. You can mix and match sites to suit your needs. There are spacious group sites and some different sites are connected for convenience. Others (like ours) are tucked away and private.
I was already thinking that Camp Nauvoo would be perfect for a family reunion when I discovered that you can rent the entire camp for group events, with discounts for smaller groups. There’s a small lodge and an outdoor picnic area with plenty of tables. There is a small playground, basketball court, volleyball field, tetherball and more. It would be a really affordable way to get everyone together. They even do weddings and have a bridal villa and beautiful lighted gazebo on a large green lawn surrounded by pine trees.
We were given plenty of info up front, so we knew exactly what to expect ahead of time. There are no wood fires at the sites, but there is a large fire pit in the amphitheater area when it’s safe to burn. Gas fire rings (no cooking) and bbq’s are provided at the sites and were very convenient. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked and it was nice having hot showers at the end of the day.
I would definitely recommend Camp Nauvoo to anyone! It was just perfect.
