22 ft travel trailer

1 night at Secluded Orchard Boondocking

Great little spot! We needed a quiet place to rest after a long day of driving with our travel trailer. It was only a few miles from the freeway and easy to find. The actual camping spot is nestled in among trees in a cherry and apple orchard, very quiet and lovely when the sun comes up. It might be a little tricky navigating a few turns to the spot if you have a long rig, but no problem with our 22-footer. We would definitely stay again when traveling through the area. Thanks!

1 night at Yuba - El Conejo Lakeside

We appreciated the solitude and the deck. The site was easy to find with directions and signs, and our gps took us off-road for a little extra scenery. We hope the area does not become too developed.

1 night at Secluded Orchard Boondocking

My partner and I had a great time camping at Ardell’s orchard. It was peaceful, secluded, and quiet. It was nice seeing chickens in the morning and the cherries and apples on the trees. Thank you for the opportunity of letting us camp out!

Weekend Trip to Sandy Beach

Great Spot! We had spot #19 an it was beautiful. Everything was quiet and peaceful and we would definitely come back.

1 night at Sandy Beach

Although the location I thought was relatively close to the Salt Flats, the view and location were still amazing. We pulled in fairly late, just as the sun was setting, got our tent set up, and chilled. Our car, unfortunately, wouldn't be able to travel away from the beach, so we parked it near the airstream sites with no issues. Would recommend and would look at staying again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Sandy Beach

This campsite was so fun! It is right on the beach, and it is so nice to not have to set up a tent but still enjoy the camping experience! Parker is very communicative and answered all my questions. We hope to visit again.

1 night at Sandy Beach

Although the weather was very windy with a lot of sand, the accommodations were great. I love this place. So peaceful and beautiful

Weekend Trip to Harward Family Ranch

Beautiful hike on salt river nearby . Hoping to come back in future summer trips for a longer stay . Thank you again sharing your beautiful land with us !

Weekend Trip to Welcome to the Farm

We absolutely loved our stay at the farm. The privacy! The quiet! The trees! The view! Highly recommended.

4 nights at Secluded Orchard Boondocking

The campsite was just as described, and was a single campsite in the middle of an orchard. My kids loved having access to a grassy playground after a long day of traveling and before taking off on our adventures in the morning. We slept great here, and enjoyed our tour of the animals and garden. Ardell was so kind to us and my children. My sister commented on how it's close to the freeway, but still feels secluded and calm.

1 night at Welcome to the Farm

Easy to find, just what we needed, great host! Not far off the interstate but very quiet and private. Lovely property. We enjoyed the fire pit and the soft grass under the tent area

1 night at Welcome to the Farm

1 night at The Rockin Robbins Ranch

Truly one of the most wonderful homes and people we've encountered. Lynn is an exceptional host, allowing you to have as much space or community as you'd like. I felt like we were visiting a beloved Aunt! The main house is full of life and art and books, you're encouraged to politely make yourself at home. Lynn was available for anything we needed and her conversation left our souls feeling nourished. The home and property are a working creation: mound gardens being built, meals being prepared, and creative beauty happening all around! The animals are happy and healthy, as are the people, we got to meet a few helpers and Lynn's kind son. We stayed in the Boho bell tent and slept incredibly well, heated blanket and everything else you might need was thoughtfully provided. If you need anything, just ask, Lynn's only a text or phone call away or found tending to the kitchen or caring for a person/animal/plant. Thank you for everything!!

Weekend Trip to Sandy Beach

We loved camping at Sandy Beach! Don't go into the state park area, we misunderstood the directions and ended up in the state park at first.

Weekend Trip to Welcome to the Farm

This was an easy and quiet stop, not too far from the highway. Everything was as described, and the host was very friendly.

Weekend Trip to The Rockin Robbins Ranch

We had an excellent 3-and-a-half-day stay at this campsite, and it was really a 5-star experience. From the start, Lynnellen was extremely attentive, she made the effort to check in with us every night to ensure we had everything we needed, quickly answering every call and problem, and going out of her way to assist us during our stay. The hospitality exceeded expectations. The homemade breakfasts were amazing and a thoughtful touch every morning. The assistance with laundry and other little tasks made everything much more convenient and comfortable. You can sense how much care and attention goes into running the place. We felt warmly welcomed and cared for. We're already planning to return and would highly suggest this campsite to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-managed, and welcoming experience.

Weekend Trip to The Rockin Robbins Ranch

Such a unique little stop! Our tent was comfortable and clean, Lynnellen was so kind and accommodating, and the outdoor shower was a delightful bonus. We were on a road trip so we weren't set up the best for not being able to park right at the campsite, but the walk is very short and it wasn't a huge deal. The sites are close to one another, however, we ended up being the only ones there so it was quiet and private for us. Lynnellen has so many different offerings for you when you are there, it is sure to please every type of camper!

1 night at Sandy Beach

Beautiful space, as described. Easy to find and a treat to park by the water.

Weekend Trip to Sandy Beach

This was our 2 nd year in a row and it did not disappoint! I almost don’t want to leave a review so other people don’t find out how great this place it. Parker the host is fantastic! Thanks! And we will see you again soon!

Yuba - El Conejo Lakeside

2 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Scipio, UT

Park your van, trailer or RV a skip away from Yuba Lake on private 3 acre land. Unimproved parking space surrounded by beautiful views. Plenty of space to set up tents, pets welcome. Just minutes away from the marina and Yuba Lake State Park amenities including zip line, potable water and dump with state park entrance fee. Enjoy the lake during the day and the stars at night. Property has two sites. Both have optional electrical hookup, boat slip , and firewood. Site 1 - “El Conejo Camp Spot” away from the main road featuring 4x20 step off deck, picnic table, and camp chairs, as well (2) 30amp RV hookups. This is a pull thru or pull around site. Site 2 - “Roadside Summit” with picnic table, fire ring, and 50amp electrical hookup. This is a pull through site with grade. Lake can be accessed with state park fee at the marina entrance and the north shore -OR- on the south side via five minute ride or 1.25 mi walk. Note: this is a shared private beach for the properties on this side of the lake. It is included with your booking and limited to that time. It has many amenities including: large gazebos on artificial turf, fire pits, playground, flush toilets, water, and docks. (See Add-Ons if you need a boat slip for the day or overnight). Road in is dirt with minor grade up to property. Notes: ——— * Wildlife - In late summer, cattle graze nearby. In spring, you may see sheep and baby lambs on the way to the south beach access. There are rattle snakes, bunnies, and we’ve seen a scorpion or two. *Weather - Summer days can be quite hot with cooler nights. There is no shade on the property. Wind gusts carrying dust can occur. It’s a good idea to check weather app for conditions. *Landscape/Views - Utah natural landscape changes markedly with the seasons. Some photos may reflect green grasses, when these dry out mid summer, they can produce fine stickers to be aware of with long hair pets, kids, and ankles in general. Views can change depending on developing neighboring properties. Sunsets either at the lake or the property are unobstructed and often dramatic. Night sky viewing is also pretty awesome as there is very little light pollution.

Secluded Orchard Boondocking

2 sites · RVs7 acres · Santaquin, UT

We're easy to get to off the north Santaquin exit. GPS doesn’t recognize us exactly, but keep going until the egg shack near the 35 mph sign. Non-GPS directions: if southbound on i-15, take the Santaquin exit (you’ll see this northmost exit first), then take a R onto the main street. if northbound on i-15, take a L off of the second (northmost) Santaquin exit, then L onto the main street. Turn R onto 400 E (immediately before sinclair gas station). Drive through houses and about a mile into orchards. On the R look for a break in the trees that has the egg shack, a gate, a mailbox, our gravel driveway, and a speed limit sign just past the driveway. The park spot is on mostly bare dirt, with a 360-degree view of apple and cherry orchards. Entry to the spot requires driving on gravel and dirt road. There is a grassy play area and trampoline kids are welcome to use. It's best to have adult supervision to keep kids away from the farm animals area, for safety. We're happy to provide a jug of pure drinking water. We can bring a picnic table and/or benches over if you'd like. If you need to, you can approach the house to access wifi for guests. Best if you can let me know, so I can direct you to a comfortable spot. GUEST_EXT pass: guest123 Noise: If you are a light sleeper, you might be awakened by train horns about a mile away. They usually don't come more than once in the night, and in the nearby house we aren't awakened. Other than that, you can hear the freeway traffic faintly in the distance. It's mostly quiet. Attractions: We have a few great local hiking spots. Santaquin canyon trails are only 8 minutes away. The Grotto, up Payson canyon, is fairly short and has a lovely waterfall at the end.

Camping in Yuba State Park guide

Overview

About

Legend has it that disgruntled local farmers sang a song with the lyrics, “You be damned if you work, and damned if you don’t,” while building the Yuba Reservoir—hence its original name, the “U.B. Dam.” Today, the 22-mile-long lake sits at the heart of Yuba State Park, where getting on the water is the top activity. Bring your boat, water skis, or windsurf, cool off with a swim at the sandy beaches, or try your luck fishing for northern pike and walleye. Away from the water, you can also go ziplining or explore the surrounding hiking and OTV trails.

Notable campgrounds

Best for year-round camping: Oasis Campground has RV sites with and without electric hookups, plus heated family cabins with cooking facilities.
Best for boaters: Painted Rocks Campground has RV sites with electric hookups and its own boat launch on the east bank of the Yuba Reservoir.
Best for beach views: North Beaches Campground has primitive campsites with vault toilets and shared firepits, right by the sand.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve campsites and cabins at all Yuka State Park campgrounds during peak season—March 15 through Sept 16. For the rest of the year, only Oasis Campground remains open, with sites only available on a walk-in, first-come, first-served basis.
All campsites can be reserved four months in advance, and you can book online via the Reserve America website.
Campsites can book up as fast, especially for holiday weekends, so book as soon as possible. Note that you can book a maximum of 13 days beyond the last date of the 4-month reservation window.

When to go

Hemmed in between mountain and desert, Yuba State Park enjoys a temperate climate with warm summers (June through September) ideal for swimming and water sports, and icy winters when the lake freezes over (November through March). The park stays open year-round, although all but one of its campgrounds close in low season. Check the water levels before arrival if you plan to boat or enjoy water sports in summer.

Know before you go

Yuba State Park sits 110 miles south of Salt Lake City, about a 1-hour and 40-minute drive away along I-15. The main park entrance is at the Oasis campground and day-use area—take exit 202 and follow the signs. Alternatively, the Painted Rocks are reached via Utah Hwy 28.
A per-vehicle day pass is required for all Utah State Parks, and booking fees also apply.
Yuba State Park facilities include restrooms, picnic areas, and a camp store selling ice and firewood. Several boat launches and seasonal paddle board rentals are available.
Toxic algae has been found blooming at the lake in recent years, so follow park guidelines regarding swimming and water sports.
Pets are permitted at Yuba State Park, but must be kept on a maximum 6-foot leash at all times.
There are accessible restrooms, picnic areas, and campsites at Yuba State Park.

Yuba Campground

Eagle View is actually accessible by road despite the description here and on the parks website, though the road is dirt and can quickly become problematic if recent rain and not in 4x4. Very beautiful scenery and looks like this campground (and painted rock) doesn't get much traffic - was only person there on that side of lake.
