Ponderosa Campground, Unita, is our favorite place to camp. It is quite, beautiful, and relaxing. We love it here.There is no cell phone service here, however, which we wish it had. We would have to drive down the canyon until we got service to call family or check on family.

@JakeTD4A05ECB9 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #17

Our stay was really nice and the campsites we had were both very secluded. The restrooms were super clean and every morning the host cleaned them out for the odor and overall cleanliness. Other than the crazy storm we had , it was a perfect trip. Will definitely be coming back again.

It is one of my favorite camp grounds when I just want to get away to nature. No cell coverage, but good sites with trees and in the evening you can see the wildlife. Deer, Moose, turkeys and large raptors in the sky.

@JeffG6611372 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #9

Enjoyed the fact that I was able to reserve a site and was able to have a nice evening in the mountains. Camp host was very nice and helpful.

@ReneeP5375547 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #9

Our camp host is the best! She's always available to assist, and it's obvious she cares about our experience. She's the best!!

@GwenNE01A21D07 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #11

Beautiful place to camp.

@STEVENM2892720 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #11

Super clean, nice and quiet, plenty of tree cover/privacy between sites

@NicholasC11628 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #3

Ponderosa campground is one of our favorite campgrounds because its only an hour from our home. Its grove of trees and its rushing stream are so peaceful. The restrooms are clean and well maintained. And the hosts are friendly and helpful.

@CliffD3715650 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #15

Peaceful. Love the Ponderosa pines

@MollyR3563490 · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #11

Great campground and great sites. We have young kids so we were grateful for the fences that line the river all along the campground. Clean bathrooms. No cell service. Pack all the water you will need. We will definitely be back!

@AmandaH28C1683 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #19

I loved it here. It was nice that the very big creek was fenced off, as to be safe. There wasnt any campsite right next to the bathroom which I appreciate. However, the host was gone right when we needed her. There was a sign on her door asking to have a bathroom unlocked at the group campsite, and they were gone almost the entire time we were therethat was inconvenient for us who wanted wood and even more inconvenient for the group site.

@LeighW2244392 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #20

One of our favs campgrounds. This site is pretty isolated from the others which is nice. Also close to the restroom.

@PaulC8096585 · Camped on May 1, 2024 at Campsite #2

Beautiful campground, very well taken care of facilities. Easy access. Very friendly, helpful host. JUST ONE VERY CONCERING PROBLEM DOG LEASH RULES NOT ENFORCED!!!

@BeckyP5561981 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #22

Everything was clean and private, even though it was full we still got the mountain experience. We will go back! The reservation website isn't user friendly.

@LeighW2244392 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #9

Absolutely beautiful, definitely in my top 5 campgrounds. So clean, and there was quite a bit of space between campsites which made it even better.

@LauraB4922005 · Camped on Jun 19, 2023 at Campsite #11

Very nice and clean. Friendly camp host.

@RickC6666798 · Camped on Jun 15, 2023 at Campsite #9

@TuckerKD9CEED6 · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #21

Beautiful area with a quiet camp and impeccably clean vault toilets

@DennisL7397034 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #4

Campsites, bathrooms, everything was so clean!

@JayW4423954 · Camped on May 24, 2023 at Campsite #11

WHEN i ARRIVED AT PONDEROSA I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THERE WERE NO FACILITIES OTHER THAN A TOILET. NO WASH FACILITIES OF ANY KIND. THIS SHOULD BE STATED CLEARLY ON THE RESERVATIONS PAGE. I CANCELLED BOTH MY RESERVATIONS THERE (LOSING ALL BUT $3.50 OF MY CHARGES) AND WENT TO ANOTHER NEARBY CAMPGROUND THAT CHARGED THE SAME AND INCLUDED ALL NECESSARY FACILITIES. I STAY OFTEN AT RECREATION.GOV CAMPGROUNDS AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE IVE EVER COME ACROSS THAT HAD NOTHING BUT A CAMPSITE! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

@JohnT2915386 · Camped on May 22, 2023 at Campsite #15

My wife ended up in the hospital prior to leaving so we didn't camp at all.

@ScottH7806643 · Camped on May 15, 2023 at Campsite #18

We reserved site no. 18 for 4 nights. The campground was clean and the host was very friendly and helpful. Salt Creek through the campground was high and muddy but no issues with that. Wished we could have gone over the Nebo Loop but the road was washed out near the top and had been gated off just above the campground turnoff. We enjoyed our stay and will go back later in the year. Hopefully the Loop will be accessible by then!

@JeffB8180041 · Camped on May 15, 2023 at Campsite #9

Campground was very nice. When we visited it had just opened 3 days prior to us arriving. Unfortunately everything that we came to see or do was pretty much closed or extremely muddy wet due to the flooding. The campground host was awesome she was friendly and helpful. We stayed on site 9 we fit our 45 foot Fifth-Wheel in with little trouble but the road getting to the site is a little tight and the loop at the end, well let's just say I didn't take it wide enough and had to do some backing up and pulling forward a few times to get around it. The creek running next to campground was awesome to fall asleep to, it was running pretty hard and high. We will stop by again when we are in the area.

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Aug 26, 2022 at Campsite #19

Site is a little tight for a tent. The upper space is level but too close to the fire pit. Moving to a safer distance from the fire pit puts the tent on a bit of a slope. Great clean toilet rooms.

@RulonS8749723 · Camped on Aug 24, 2022 at Campsite #6

We have stayed here many times and love the quiet location. The hosts were friendly and helpful.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
