We LOVED this RV Park. The service was great! We interacted with staff a couple of times including having them fill our LPG tank for us. Neighbors in adjacent sites seemed friendly. Bathroom was one of the best campsite baths we've ever used, warm (it was December) and CLEAN and relatively roomy! Our site backed up to the train tracks which might seem like a negative to some, but we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the trains and the sound didn't wake us up at all (maybe they don't run at night). I think it might be fun for children to have a front row seat for the trains. the site is nestled in a mountain valley in a tiny town called Helper, Utah which we found to be completely charming. We are thinking of doing an extended stay this coming summer.

RV Type: Camper Van Bathroom: 5 Really nice bathrooms—private individual rooms with a smart light system that shows red or green when occupied. Very clean and thoughtfully designed. Perfect setup. Privacy: 4 The park is in a quiet, natural setting with lots of trees and a river along one edge. Site-to-site dividers are okay but not fully private. Quality: 5 Very clean and well maintained. Everything feels new and taken care of. Dog Rating: 5 Excellent dog space. Huge lawn area, flat terrain, enclosed spots for dogs, and interesting areas to explore while walking. Reservation Ease: 5 Great reservation system. Full online booking is available. For late arrivals, they have a self-service packet system and provide access to the passkey and Wi-Fi code without needing staff. Notes: Good laundry setup. Overall one of the most comfortable and easy-to-use parks so far. $36

We only stopped with our camper van for the night so I can’t speak too much about the park, but the bathrooms were great. Large private clean bathrooms/showers and the laundry room looked like it was well outfitted. The little town of Helper was quite cute. Pretty easy on and off the highway. Easy after hours check-in. Great communication from the friendly staff!

The perfect setup to toss up a tent for a night or 2!! Water power onsite and a hot shower just a short walk away. After hours check in was super easy with clear instructions!! Just understand the location is my only suggestion for traveler's you're next to an active train line and the highway. I have no complaints and I hope other people check it out!!

This is a pretty awesome RV park and cabin rentals. Great location in a small, historic town close to other activities. Very friendly area. Spacious lots, easy parking, great laundry rooms and shower rooms. Very close to train tracks so if you're on to trains, there's always plenty to see. Train noise not loud enough to disturb. Highly recommend this place.
