Incredible state park in Utah. As part of our family trip to Utah's National Parks, we stayed at Utah State Parks since they had openings. It was a good choice. This is a nice state park with friendly staff and clean facilities. There are clean restrooms with showers and even a laundry room. Just be sure to bring quarters if you arrive after the visitor center closes. In addition, the park itself has some recreational activities available and is located on historic land with pictographs to find. Very good state park. read more

Do you like petroglyphs? Do like short and reasonable hikes? Then Fremont Indian State Park is for you. As a solo traveler with some mobility issues, I was worried about how much access I would have to various stops on the map from the visitor center. The crew in the gift shop were delightful! They high lighted the ones I could definitely do and I did!! I loved the paved little loop at the visitor center itself that is ADA approved. My favorite was probably the 100 Hands Cave. Just a neat little walk by the creek and a small hill to get to the sight. I forgot my binoculars, so if you go bring some with you! I went on the second weekend in May, so not quite the summer season yet, so it wasn't crowded at all and I spent a couple of hours there. read more

Very nice gift shop. Great Indian art. Lots of cool educational materials and something for everyone. Also the NICEST HELPFUL staff I've ever encountered at a State Park. All staff, rangers, and camp hosts were exceptional. They were knowledgeable of the history of the area. We enjoyed the Pit House, and trails around the museum. Great place to visit. read more

Scenic and culturally rich experience. You can spend a few hours or several days exploring the museum, rock art and historical sites and campgrounds. Binoculars are helpful for viewing some petroglyphs. The video at the museum provides a good overview of Fremont Indians and the museum houses artifacts from the park area. Be sure to start in the museum to pick up a map of sites to visit. There are also individual trail guides you can borrow. read more

Family of 5 took a detour for this museum and park. I would maybe stop here if you are going right by it but I wouldn't detour for it. Now that being said, we are from Utah and very lucky to have been to many Native American sites including museums. This museum is quite small. Not geared toward kids. Staff was not friendly or helpful. $8 per vehicle for day use. read more

This state park is really a nice place to come to. The museum itself is very small, but there are some amazing hiking trails-that are dog friendly-that have amazing rock art on mountain sides and boulders practically at every turn. The famous Newspaper Rock is located here, and it is pretty cool to see. There are many things to see here-columnar joints, caves, hoodoos, picnic and camping areas and beautiful scenery. The museum shares space with a wonderful gift shop with many different types of items that are very reasonably priced. The woman that helped us (I wish I got her name) was an absolute delite-very funny and knowledgeable. They also offer many activities for younger children-check their schedule. Don't miss coming here! It is a real treat. Bathrooms are clean, plenty of parking and just off the freeway. read more

I visited Fremont Indian State Park to camp in our trailer in late October. The park and campgrounds were almost completely deserted, which we were extremely happy about, but we were there during the week and the nighttime temperature got down to 17 degrees (eek!), so that's likely why. Park - Bring binoculars! We were able to see many petroglyphs/pictographs with the binoculars that we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. The interpretive walk near the visitor center, along with the Newspaper Rock site, were by far the best. But there were so many things to see, we didn't get to them all. The interpretive walk would be a great detour when on a road trip, while the other sites required some driving and hiking, which was perfect for a full day adventure. I didn't visit the museum, so I can't comment on that. Castle Rock Campground - This campground is across the highway from the visitor center and nestled in a beautiful canyon. Despite being so close to an interstate highway, you could hardly hear any traffic sounds at all. I was blown away by the peace and quiet, as I was expecting much more noise. Our site (#20, double site) was stunning. The views of the surrounding cliffs and hoodoos couldn't have been better, and the creek behind our site bathed us in soothing water sounds throughout our stay. I explored every site here, and almost all of them were incredible! The sites within the loop were much more private and had taller trees than the sites on the main road entering the grounds, so I would recommend sites in this area if privacy is what you are looking for. Sites have no hookups and there is no dump station, although we were able to sneak over to the [mostly empty] RV campground to dump before we left. Sam Stowe campground - This campground, near visitor center, was for RVs/trailers and sites had full hookups. Sites had beautiful views of the surrounding rocks but were not very private at all. The freeway noise was also quite loud. If you have an RV/trailer and do not need a full hookup, I'd highly recommend the Castle Rock campground instead. Overall - LOVED our trip here! We will definitely be back, as it's an easy drive from the SLC area. read more

Fremont Indian State Park - Parks Near Me - Sevier, Utah

We stayed at Castle Rock Campground overnight for $20/night. Our site#11 meant for camp host but became available during our visit. This graveled site needs little bit of leveling, but the water and sewer hookups are great. Take head to remove water supply line and store in your trailer/RV for it will frozen solid overnight. Most sites are pull-thrus, few back-ins and double sites. There were lots of Indian petroglyphs to be found in the area and the visitor center even has museum, short introduction movie and trail map to find the beautiful Fremont & Paiute Rock arts whereabout. Bathroom is just short walk from our site. Both sink and toilet (no shower) are clean and functional. No WiFi but LTE signal strong enough. No OTA TV channels. Other primitive sites just $15/night, a bargain for great view and clean bathroom. Will stay again if pass thru this way. read more

Definitely stop here. Spend the time to walk the short trails to see hundreds of petroglyphs. You can also drive through and see roadside attractions. Actually drove through in our motorhome but turning around was a challenge. Had to drive out a bit to find someplace to turn around. Went a few miles out of our way to see this spectacular park, but we'll worth it. The gift shop is nicely stocked. Make sure to watch the short video in the museum for some insight of the people who once lived here. read more

Loved it. Most the sites are within a half a mile from the road and many are just a short walk away. Fun place to see. read more

Splendid! Mystical! Beautiful! You can choose from more developed ( full hookup) or less developed campground - both nice but the less developed one offers more space. Walking around the park is very interesting. read more

Multiple camping areas with friendly hosts and beautiful scenery. One campground had a stream my kids played in. We had a blast and would definitely go back because it was a great time. read more

Fremont is kind of a little known gem. Most people I talk to have never heard of it, which might explain why on a sunny Saturday in June, half the campgrounds were empty. That really just meant more peace and quiet for us and less crowded facilities. The campgrounds here were beautifully maintained, the bathrooms were clean and the view was spectacular. There was a cool, bubbly creek that ran through the middle of the grounds. The trails weren't very well marked or mapped out, but if you don't mind just wandering, you can do so here to your heart's content. Casterock, which we decided looked like Minas Tirith, was absolutely breathtaking. The indigenous petroglyphs and pictographs all around the area were really fun to see. For these two things alone, I'd bring friends or visitors here to camp for a night or two. The only thing I didn't like about this place was the museum; it was generally pretty patronizing. But I guess the exhibits are from an older decade and the park is in the middle of nowhere. I'd pass on it, though, especially if you've been to a lot of these museums. But I wouldn't pass on the rest of it. It's pretty awesome. read more

We needed a place to stay and called ahead of time with the size rv and trailer we had. Jim was awesome. He took us to see the sites including the primitive sites to see if we could fit. He let us stay in the group site and made it very easy for us. It worked out so well that we came back and stayed again Nice campground with full hookups and showers. Did a drone video before we left to show the area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W6dtsc7wgg read more

So many things to do! Friendly, knowledgeable staff! Fun hikes and trails and a beautiful scenery.

i found this campground through yelp and am SO grateful. so so pretty! we came on a weekday in august and there were only two other sites taken. there are sites in the middle which are around the creek, but we opted for a hillside site. no showers, but there are bathrooms and wood was available for $3 per armload. and it's dog friendly (phew)! we also stayed in fruta campground on our trip, and although gorgeous it was pretty developed. i preferred the remote feeling of fremont. read more

My daughter and I stayed here last minute last week. We were passing through and needed an inexpensive place to pitch a tent off I70. I don't think there are any options more convenient or inexpensive than this! We showed up at 10pm the day after the fourth of July praying that one of the first come first serve spots would be open as I assumed it was a busy week for campgrounds. Turns out all 10 of the walk in spots were open, and even the majority of the 20 reservable spots were open as well! Only $15. We really just pitched a tent and packed up and left first thing in the morning, but in the morning light we saw what a beautiful area it was! It's in a gorgeous canyon with beautiful rock formations. I wish we'd had more time to explore. Also, the camp host, Bill, stopped by as we were loading up just to introduce himself and ask how we slept, which I thought was super thoughtful. Highly recommend this campground and would definitely stay again. read more
