    We come to Rockport every year in August for a family reunion. We normally camp in the cabins (and…read morehonestly didn't care much for it) but this year we decided to camp at the Juniper campground and we loved it more then the cabins. Only down fall is due to the drought in Utah this year there was hardly any water (only 40% full ) and it was super muddy but it's not the camp grounds fault. Stupid drought. We will definitely be back next year to camp in the campground again. They had the camp spots nice and clean for us when we got there. They even let us check in a little early. We also enjoyed fishing off the bank. Got a few bites but wasn't able to catch anything this time. In the past fishing right before the sun sets is the best time. We seem to usually catch fish around that time by the sale boat area. (Just east of the cabins). We used warms and pink salmon eggs. Can't wait for next years trip!

    If you don't have a boat, you may not have as much fun here as others…read more I don't have a boat. The lake is awesome, though. Very clean and the water felt great. There are several beachy areas with covered picnic gazebos. Lots of shade trees down closer to the water, too. Camping is hit or miss. Some sites (the ones closest to the lake) offer no shade and blistering heat. The cottonwood area has lots of trees for shade and if you are lucky, there's a camping lot with a huge field attached for games like volleyball, throwing a football, etc. I can't divulge which one, because it would hurt my chances of being able to book it again, but if you care that much it should be pretty easy to figure out :) Full disclosure- I saw snakes here. One RAN (if snakes could run, that's what this one did) in front of me as I was walking across a grassy spot. I'm a little terrified of snakes so this was no bueno. Also there are tonnnns of Mosquitos so under no circumstances, do NOT forget insect repellent. Raccoons will get into stuff at night. You can hear them. Saw lots of cute little bunny rabbits and some deer. All in all, it's meh for camping, but the lake is awesome.
