We had a blast! Chandra and her family were great hosts! The campsite are super nice...each site has a charcoal grill and a fire pit. Picnic tables with pavilions and well water pumps are also at each site. We are right on the water, which is absolutely lovely. There are hiking trails and places to put your "overflow", we brought up our wave runners and had a wonderful time. There are also clean flush toilet restrooms and clean showers. We will be back!

Rockport is one of our favorite lakes in Utah! We especially love the sandy beaches on the northwest side! We’ve been here at least five times now, in a tent, cabin, and trailer. Every campground is great in its own way. Photos range from 2017-2025.

I could live at Rockport! Its beautiful, big, and so much fun. From digging in the sand to being on the water, it offers everything. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean and we were even lucky enough to find a table, close to the water on 4th of July weekend, there were a few more available as well! No camping, but that's also the consequence of last minute planning 🤭 The park itself is beautiful too and it has many trails to explore! 10/10

Midweek boating is not busy. Water is not as clean as east canyon, but it's still nice. There's a lot of campers on the east shore that tend to paddleboard into areas that are frequented by boats. Have to watch out for them. The south part of the lake is very shallow. It's specifically used by fishermen. You have to watch your depth charts on your ski boats. The camping areas seem nice.There's a lot of variety. Bathrooms at the marina. Boat ramp only fits two vehicles for loading and unloading. This could create a headache on busy days.

This is a nice spot to spend the weekend fishing and enjoying nature. The park has two sections one is for overnight camping and the other is for day usage.
