Perfectly situated off of the Mirror Lake Highway, and perched near the tranquil waters of…read moreButterfly Lake, this campground is probably my favorite designated camping area along this great stretch of scenic road. Winning that distinction is no small feat, as there are so many spots to stay along Utah's most prominent scenic byway, but it's just got so much going for it. First, it's at about 10,300ft in elevation, which means that in the blazing heat of summer, you may just kiss the '70s, spend most of the day in the '60s, and have those incredible nights in the tent in the '40s where you thank your lucky stars that you have someone who will go up the Mirror Lake Highway with you and hike by day, and snuggle up in a sleeping-bag-for-two by night. I've not actually had that last experience, but it's on my list. At any rate, the elevation is just what you need in summer, and is not to be messed with in cooler temps. The Highway actually closes during winter, so this campground typically doesn't open until around Memorial Day each spring. The namesake lake is delightful, and planted with willing trout. There are no monster fish lurking in the deep, but the kids will get a kick out of drowning a worm beneath a bobber. I also like that the lake is far enough away from the campsites that you're not constantly worrying about little ones wandering off to play in the water. The further up the road in the campground, the more true this is. If you're looking to launch off for adventure, there are hikes on hikes on hikes. My favorite ever lackadaisical hike I've ever had was on the MLH, but you can find your own. The western terminus of the Highline Trail is just a few hundred feet away down the road, so check that out for a starting point, or grab one of the other many trailheads at your disposal-Ruth Lake, Mirror Lake, Fehr Lake-those are all bodies of waters and names of nearby trailheads. I typically stay in dispersed campsites, but having a few resources, restrooms, parking, and a picnic table is nice sometimes too. I dream of staying here in the height of summer, of making overly-complicated camp meals, of wandering the creeks, of homemade marshmallow s'mores, hand-churned ice cream, and that warm sleeping bag at night.

I first heard about Knotty Pine RV Resort on social media-someone had posted about the beautiful…read morescenery and the plethora of activities to do, but what hooked me were the pictures of the tiny house (cottage) available to rent. I'm a sucker for tiny houses, in fact I dream to live in one someday, so I was looking forward to my stay here. We do a decent amount of "camping" in our trailer, but this weekend, it was the tiny house that called to me. I was absolutely shocked that I was able to reserve it last minute for Friday through Sunday. We arrived after the registration office was closed, but found our information in a box by the front door. The cottage was far better than the pictures on the resort's website-it has a main bedroom with a queen bed and four single beds up in the loft. There's also a small couch in the living area. You could fit six people in here easily. Note that the loft is only about five feet tall, so most people won't be able to stand upright. But it's a kid's paradise! The kitchen is stocked with basic dishes and utensils plus full oven, stove and refrigerator. The bathroom has simple shampoo/conditioner/soap. The quality is pretty low, so if you want nicer stuff, bring your own from home. There is a TV in the living area, but not in the bedroom or loft. There is a picnic table and fire pit outside, so you can get a taste of the camping experience while still enjoying the luxury of a "home." The campground itself is very pretty-lots of beautiful trees and a tranquil river that runs nearby. There is a clubhouse with pool table, arcade game and several seating areas to socialize. They have activities occasionally, mostly geared toward the littles. The layout of the campground is slightly disjointed, and the further toward the back you go, the less it's maintained. There were some spots that appeared to be storage areas rather than camping spots, but they were dispersed between the others. Since we did not pull our RV, I can't talk to how hard it was to navigate, but there are back-in as well as pull-through spots available. The pool and hot tub were always hopping-people seemed to enjoy those. They advertise having wi-fi, but it's terrible. Some people may not care about that, since you're going camping in the mountains. But if you're online reading reviews, I reckon you might want at least a little internet connectivity. It's there, but it's pretty slow. And the cellular data (I have T-Mobile) is nonexistent. It's a beautiful place, and once I get over my with drawl from being online, I'll find myself extremely relaxed and one with nature.

The campground consists of 31 regular sites (some doubles) and a group site, with no hook-ups. When I visited (Memorial Day weekend), there were hardly any people there, so it felt like we had the entire beautiful place to ourselves! Site 24 was beautiful, private, and had easy access to the river behind. There were multiple people fishing in the river and some kids with inner tubes, but the water felt really cold and seemed too shallow for any kind of swimming. But it would be great for kids wanting to splash around a bit in the summer! Since the campground is so far up in the mountains, the weather is cool when it's too hot for camping in the valley. Nighttime temps got to around 40 when we were there, which was fine for us in our camper trailer. The grounds were kept clean, and while we didn't see the camp host(s), we had no need for assistance during our trip. The drive to the campground from SLC was tough on our vehicle, which is an older SUV hauling a 17' vintage trailer. Even after getting up Parley's Canyon, there were additional significant stretches of incline and then about a mile on a dirt road before getting to the site. I do love being in the middle of nowhere, so this was fine, but I would take this into consideration the next time we are wanting to visit.

Current Creek campground is a large place with 4 loops. My favorite is D loop because it's closest to the lake. Bathrooms have flush toilets but no showers. Each camp site has a picnic table, grill, fire pit and concrete pad. The camp host station sells ice, firewood and some bare essentials. The star of the show is the lake. Usually you'll find me sitting on the shore waiting for a fish to bite. I've caught rainbows and tiger trout. But even if you don't catch anything the views are spectacular. If you should get lucky and decide to keep your catch there is a fish cleaning station by the boat ramp. Directions, there are 3 ways to get there all involve a bit of graded dirt road. You can take hwy 40 to the Current Creek Road and drive up next to the river, then around the lake. Next option is to turn off hwy 40 at the chicken creek area and take FS road #82. The turn is just before the UDOT facility. Lastly you can take center street from Heber past the Timber Lakes community. There is no cell phone service at the lake or campground. :)

I specifically stayed at the Pine Grove Camp Site. It has a lot of large mature trees, 4 bathroom facilities, plenty of camping areas, and an extremely large fire pit/picnic area. It's in walking distance to both Doughnut Falls and Dog Lake, plus it's a short drive to Solitude, Brighton, and many other beautiful trails. We arrived here on Friday and stayed two nights with a large group. The event brought out a lot of people for the daytime, but most people opted to not stay the night. This meant we had more than enough room to camp and have our own space. We picked a spot a little ways up the trail which made us a little too far from the bathrooms, but we weren't disturbed by anybody who woke up early or stayed up too late. Big Cottonwood gets extremely busy and this campground offers a few other group campsites. However, this campground was secluded enough that you were never bothered by the hustle and bustle of others and you were really able to feel like you were in the great outdoors. The campsite says that it can hold 100-125 people. The large picnic/fire pit area can definitely hold this many, but I feel like that many people camping could get pretty cramped. Our group was mostly couples so that would be close to 50-60 tents. I could see it working with families where you'd only need 20-30 tents. We definitely enjoyed the site though and would happily come back.

The lower B loop tends to be mostly RVs which makes sense. Even though our site was super sunny, we had a nice gazebo so it's not a total loss if that's all you can get. One thing I must talk about is how great our camp host was. She was great about enforcing the speed limit and cleaning the bathrooms. I think the bathrooms at this campground were the cleanest bathrooms I've ever used while camping. We bought firewood from her but it was cash only! So definitely remember cash if you plan on having a fire! Because this campground is at a lower elevation than some of the other Utah campgrounds, it can get pretty hot in July. Maybe that's why there were so many spots open even though I waited till the last minute to book.

There's lots of spots even on a busy day to find along the beach. The cabins are really quaint and a blast from the past. There's a stove, heater, and fridge that takes a long time to get cold. The beds are spring mattresses and cool to look at (see-through from the side). The mattresses aren't comfortable. I didn't sleep well my time there which was a negative. Bring sheets and pillows. The stove works great and the fridge can keep things cool. A complaint I have is Cabin 22's fireplace. Every other cabin has a really great "grill surface" over the fire pit, but ours is broken and has this dainty, cheap, steel grid grill that is not user friendly.
