Roam Uinta

45mi from Starvation State Park · 53 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
The Provo River runs along the edge of the property, and the Uinta Mountains start climbing from here. Roam Uinta sits at the gateway to Mirror Lake Scenic Byway, a 42-mile road that crests at 10,715 feet and opens up some of the best alpine camping, fishing, and hiking in Utah. Kamas is the last supply stop before the cell service drops out and the high country takes over.
Full-hookup RV sites line the riverbank with 30/50-amp service. Cabins come equipped with full kitchens, linens, and queen sleeper sofas, because “roughing it” has a pretty wide definition. Monthly stays are available year-round for seasonal workers, extended travelers, and anyone who’s figured out they don’t want to leave.
The clubhouse, pool, and hot tub anchor the common areas. A basketball court for burning off energy. Starlink WiFi across the property (a real luxury this close to wilderness). Well-maintained bathhouses and direct river access for guests who want to fish before coffee.
This stretch of the Provo River is blue-ribbon trout water. Rainbow and brown trout push 18 inches. You can cast from the bank without leaving the resort, which is the kind of detail that turns a 2-night stay into a week.

After a year of wanting to make it out here, we finally did. This place is so amazing! The tent and campground is so clean, inside the tent is spotless. They provide basically everything you need, just bring food and firewood! The hosts (Jim and his wife) are extremely helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. I appreciate you guys so much for such an amazing weekend getaway! Definitely coming back and telling all my friends about it.

Weekend Trip to The Store
We stayed in the Zen dome on the property. It's in a charming garden area. There is also a large common area building with a kitchen, bathroom/shower, and a lounge. This is accessible day or night. The owner showed us around and was very cordial and informative.
We had a great stay. Unfortunately fire season dictates we couldn't have a campfire but no biggie in August. The dome is cool but it's not large. We brought two nice cots and the foot of my bag was sticking out the entrance a bit. There is no physical door, just a privacy curtain, so just keep that in mind.
I'd recommend this little getaway for sure, if you are into petroglyphs and Fremont culture. Check out 9 mile canyon for all of that, and not a long drive the other way is Scofield reservoir which is fun for the summer water stuff. We did both, plus the Helper Arts Festival just so happened to be going that weekend and it was excellent. I highly recommend!

The directions Matt & Rachel provided were easy to follow, and the property was well-kept. We ended up switching to the Judah tent since another customer had canceled and Isaachar had a broken zipper that hadn't been repaired yet. It was a very peaceful place to spend the night!

4 nights at The Store
The zome is situated in the upper corner of the most magical desert garden. There are many places to sit in the garden, and each offers a gorgeous view of the garden and the cliffs in the background. The garden belongs to a historic building that's in the process of a restoration. The front porch of The Store offers a spectacular view of a huge valley. I loved spending time on the porch in the morning.
The nearby town of Helper has a historic Main Street with a nice coffee shop, art galleries restaurants, and a museum. We also went to a fun dinosaur museum in Price, UT.
But our main goal for the trip was to explore 9 Mile Canyon. The canyon is full of ancient treasures. So many petroglyphs, and a hike to a Fremont village. We had just enjoyed the work of modern artists in Helper, and our last day of the trip was panel after panel of ancient artwork.
Side note: I would only recommend the zome to someone with good mobility, who can confidently walk across uneven, sandy paths. If you are unsure, there's also an Air BNB located inside The Store that might be a better option.

Such an awesome getaway! Took out all the difficult parts of camping, and made it so enjoyable! We had the Zebulon tent, and it was so cool inside! Being able to nap mid day with the solar powered AC was SO nice.

For starters as a busy single mom, this was not only affordable, but had literally everything you need, comfy beds, hot showers, a sink to wash your hands and dishes, a/c and heat in the tent, and an RV fridge cooler, that kept everything super cold! I only go places where I can bring my dog, and she really enjoyed herself as well, we had so much fun that we stayed an extra night! This is our new favorite spot and Matt and Rachel are absolutely wonderful and kind! Our charcoal got soaked in the rain and the happily swapped out our bucket. We are already planning our next trip!! PS they have WIFI!!

The hosts are amazing.
The amenities are perfect.
I flew in from the Midwest and didn't need anything except food to comfortably camp here. Better than a hotel!
The outdoor shower is heavenly. It has a tank less heater if that's your jam, but the water is from a tank so it's not freezing cold.

This place has everything you need for a perfect “I’m outdoorsy but also like mattresses” kind of getaway. The bed? Comfy enough to make you question your life choices back home. The bathroom? Spotless, private, and had actual toilet paper (not the terrifying single-ply stuff). And yes, the shower was hot — not “lukewarm if you dance around” hot, but real hot.
There was a fire pit where we roasted marshmallows like champions, and a little coffee setup that made me feel like a civilized human while watching the sunrise.
But let’s talk about the jackrabbits. Two of them. We called them Bonnie and Clyde. They spent most of the trip sprinting around like tiny antelope with trust issues. At one point, they squared off like it was the Wild West and we were the only witnesses. Five stars for the unexpected bunny drama alone.
In short: came for the nature, stayed for the rabbits with beef. Will absolutely glamp again
