This is a beautiful area! We plan to build our dream home on this lot but in the meantime, we want to share the amazingness with campers! Learn more about this land: ***Please read this entire listing! We want you to have a great time and for this to be a great fit for you!*** DO NOT BOOK UNTIL YOU'VE READ EVERYTHING! It serves no one if you don't have a great stay. Please read the entire listing! DO NOT BOOK UNTIL YOU'VE READ EVERYTHING! It serves no one if you don't have a great stay. Ask questions BEFORE booking. I answer all messages! PROs: Convenient location! Park Bathrooms (in the summer)! Locked Gates! Next to a city park and river trail! CONs: Next to a city park. Possibility of night time noise disturbances for those in a tent. Freeway and train sounds can be heard. KEEP READING! This is a fenced-in property right by the Provo River and the beautiful city park. It's surrounded by trees and the fresh smell and sound of the rushing river. You'll have access to the private driveway, the gated entry, and you can place your tent or camper anywhere on the lot. (Tent campers- this is not a quiet area. Tent camping not recommended unless you sleep like the dead.) We're steps from the Provo River trail that takes bikers and joggers to Utah Lake or up into Provo Canyon. It's great for taking long beautiful walks along the river. The river is just 100 feet away! You can make your way to the edge and sit with your feet in the fresh flowing water. There are many places where you can easily step into the river and swim, raft or fish. The park located right next to us is heavily wooded with lots of private spaces for meditation or exploration. The small duck pond is home to many beautiful wild ducks that will be happy to accept your food offerings. HipCampers who love the space typically want a safe but urban area to explore, relax, or work as part of their nomad lifestyle. *SET UP: You may set up camp anywhere on the lot. Our trailer is the Catalina. We're not there every day. Please note that we do use our fire pit sometimes so park away from that if you don't like smoke. The land is relatively flat so you won't have a hard time or even need to level your vehicle. *NOISE: Please note we are close to a train track and you WILL hear the train sound in the night. We are also in proximity to a freeway which is not visible but sometimes able to be heard. You may hear people talking in the parking lot and vehicles moving. *SECURITY: We are in a safe albeit public area. There is one streetlamp that lights the bridge going across the river to the park and bathrooms. Other than that, it's very dark, so bring a good flashlight. Because of the lack of lighting at night, it feels very private. Some guests have reported it feels sketchy at night which is understandable for someone to feel when in new surroundings. Yes, people use the path and sometimes the parking lot during the night, but we're in a very safe area compared to other cities. We ask that you keep all gates closed and locked at all times. *TOILETS: Toilets are in the city park and are usually open, though they close for the winter season. There is a park just a little further down the trail that also has bathrooms. It is better to plan on no toilet services during the winter. We are not responsible for the city toilets so if you plan to judge your experience on them, please don't stay here. ;). We don't know when they open/close for the seasons. *WATER: Drinking water is available on our lot. Provo city water is safe to drink. *POWER: Power is available with the purchase of the power "extra" at checkout. You MUST pre-order this add-on. Power is locked but we will give you the code if you have purchased the extra. *PRIVACY: Our lot is completely enclosed. On the public side (park and trail), we have a 8' tall concrete fence. Immediately outside our gate, you'll have access to the park and trail. The playground/pavilions/duckpond is on the other side of the river across the bridge. Provo residents are very friendly. *PETS: We are so sorry but pets are not permitted anymore. We’ve had problems with guest pets so we have to say no more. *NEIGHBORS: We have a caretaker living on the lot. You will see his camper when you arrive. He keeps an eye on the property and is willing to help you if needed, but his job is not caring for Hipcampers. He will leave you alone. •CONSTRUCTION SUPPLIES: We recently installed the beautiful and secure concrete fence, however the contractor left debris. It's big and heavy so we're slowly removing it, but please be aware that it is there. It does not obstruct camping areas. *ABSOLUTELY NO parties, no drinking, no drugs, no loud music. *NO GENERATORS. No you are not an exception. Yes, they are ALWAYS too loud. If we hear it or get a call from a neighbor that you are running it, we will ask you to leave with no refund. *NON-WATERED LANDSCAPE WARNING. The grass in the park is green. Our lot is a 1/2 acre without a sprinkler system. Please don't arrive expecting everything to be green. We lay down mulch in the main areas but we let the weeds do their thing (which is die in the hot summer sun). Also please keep in mind that this is RAW LAND and not a manicured lawn. Thank you for your understanding. *CHECK IN TIME- is anytime after 2pm. ****THIS LOT IS PERFECT for you if you: -are boondocking (dry camping) with a self-contained vehicle or tent (and are not a light sleeper.) -like the convenience of our location -need an easy and safe place to sleep as you make a road trip stop. (we're close to gas and the freeway) -have read all the transparency in the listing and think it'd be a good fit ****THIS LOT is NOT perfect for you if you: -Are recreational camping and want a mountain or remote setting. Remember- this is within city limits. -haven't read everything above. Because guests who don't read a listing all the way through but still make a booking may be disappointed. CANCELLATIONS: If you arrive and the site won't work for you, please contact me before 9pm.

Shabby yard

The site is secure with a gate and has water /electric hookups but is otherwise quite shabby and doesn’t give a feeling of being looked after.

No host was there. Abandoned lot behind other homes. We took pictures. Facilities too old and dirty to trust using. Grounds unkept and littered with debris. Left a day early. No returns planned. Rebate 1 day?

The location was great. Very closed off. Slightly difficult to find but once you do you’ll have no problem. Right by a very nice park. People were very nice. And plenty of options for food nearby if you need to get something.

Hidden away by the park

20 ft campervan

Sarah’s property by the park is such a unique place. Hidden away it can be a little hard to find but it’s amazing how private it feels once you enter through the big gates. While you can hear some noise from the park, it quiets down at night and I had no problem getting a good nights rest. If you are in Provo and need a place, this is a great option!

This lot was exactly as described and felt very private for all the houses around. The only downside was the bathrooms in the park that were mentioned as usable were closed for the season so we had to drive to a gas station.

Great urban RV site in Provo

16 ft travel trailer

Great location close to everything. I really liked it it was a secure yard. Lots of options for spots. Close to nice walking trails along the river. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. If you're looking for somewhere in the urban setting as a base camp this is it.

Saved the day!

18 ft travel trailer · With kids

Sarah's spot was a life saver. We were just passing through with a our travel trailer and 2 kids on our way to Zion. Ended up with car trouble and needed a place to unhitch to take our vehicle into the mechanic. She accommodated last minute and let us in early so we could make the appt. Had power and water. Was not expecting to such a lovely park right next to her property. Went on a bike ride and jog along the river, hit both playgrounds and fed ducks ( there's at least 100 if you plan on that).

4 Nights in Provo

30 ft travel trailer

We stayed here for 4 nights while attending a competition in Salt Lake. This location proved to be excellent for anyone passing through or even setting up for a week or two to find some work. The area's beauty is truly captivating, and the lot offers a strong sense of safety and security. Sarah's responsiveness to our inquiries was remarkable, and the on-site caretaker, David, exhibited friendliness and exceptional assistance. Adjacent to the site, an impressive park awaits, complete with a fantastic pathway that's perfect for a leisurely walk. The site's strategic connection to the town ensures a hassle-free experience, eliminating long commutes to explore attractions in Salt Lake or Provo. Without a doubt, we would choose to stay here again if our travels bring us back to the area. Side note: The site's listing is very detailed and covers just about everything. Be sure to read all of it.

Easy access to the city and park

10 ft campervan

Pros- Sarah was super responsive about a last-minute request for me and that was greatly appreciated. There is also an awesome park right next door with a great path for walking the next day and it’s very connected to the town so there’s no long drive to get to whatever you’d like to see in Salt Lake or Provo.. Just to let people be aware, however, this is a spot that is a work in progress and it’s pretty rough right now, so be sure to read through her information that she leaves about her property. The park parking lot was pretty noisy but it was a Saturday night, so that’s probably to be expected.

Sarah was great at communicating. The property is overgrown, but is gated and safe with a friendly caretaker that lives on the property. It's not necessary a place I'd love to hang out at, but it's a great safe and affordable place to stay while exploring the nearby area. It worked perfect for our needs.

Provo property for in city camping!

Stayed for two nights. It was relatively quiet with some road noise. Other then that an overall great stay! It was muddy being in winter but that’s expected, lots of space to park. I felt safe and Sarah was easy to get ahold of and answered questions promptly! Would definitely stay again!

Sarah's land was a nice, centrally located spot in Provo, Utah. The property had plenty of space for an RV, a campervan, a tent, you name it. There was also a huge tree in the middle that provided shade during the day. At night, you could hit the streets of downtown Provo, or stargaze while making smores over a campfire (or both). Sarah was also a very responsive and accommodating host. We had a wonderful stay at Sarah's land. Recommend 100%

The lot was just as we expected based on Sarah’s description of the location. There were no surprises. The various noises that we expected to hear were quite bearable; we had no issues as a result. The chickens and ducks were very friendly and curious. One chicken even laid an egg outside our camper door. My husband especially liked the black chicken; it appeared to be wearing pants.:-). Thank you, Sarah, for offering your space to those who are in the area for a weekend. It met our needs just right.
