We went the last few weeks of first come first serve. There was probably one or two people camping for the whole campground. The trees were bright yellow and I'm pretty sure I saw a bobcat! The stream by our campground was so relaxing to be by all day. Very clean bathrooms too. Id definitely come back to get out of Salt lake. Its also dog friendly which was a huge perk.

We really enjoyed our two days here. We are already making plans for coming back. Access will be a little better once the construction in the canyon is done. The camping spots in the ponderosa pines are kinda close together and not much privacy. There are other spots that have more privacy, but less of the pine trees. The running streams and creeks were so pretty.

We loved the camp hosts Larna and Craig. They’re the best reminder that there are still good people in this world. The campground is immaculate and had everything to offer and we cannot wait to go again next year!

First time here and really loved it!! Camp hosts were amazing. It was the last couple days of the season so things were winding down, but what a great time. Secluded, quiet and yet fairly easy to get to makes this a future go-to for us for sure. Can't wait to go back.

Ponderosa is probably my favorite campsite in Northern Utah. There's just nothing like those ponderosa pines up Nephi canyon. We always see deer and squirrels. Never a hint of bear. The hosts this year went above and beyond with keeping the bathrooms well lit and smelling clean! They also come through a couple times a day to blow the pine needles off the road and even campsites! The noise of that is a bit annoying if you're a purest but, the pro beats the con when you see how many pine needles fall in just one day. Those pines are also perfect for hammocks! The campground closes Sept 25th so go quick!
