Not to disparage commercial RV parks but it’s hard to beat a good State Park.  And Utah Lake State Park is a REALLY good State Park.  We arrived an hour and a half after our desired time and were pretty darn tired – even though the scenery on 191 from Bluff was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed the day.  We had no idea what to expect when we finally got off Highway 15 (which is under construction) and drove the few miles to the lake (also under construction).  What a pleasant surprise.  To come out of the concrete jungle into paradise was a real treat.  Just the most beautiful setting ever.  The water, marina, boats, trees, cool breeze, moonrise and sunset all at once was almost too much for the senses!

We didn’t have reservations but the park was pretty empty.  We had our choice of large, spacious campsites, complete with cabana and picnic table, and water and electric all for only $20 a night.  Best of all, the way the sights are situated, you get a view of alfalfa fields and mountains instead of another RV.   Wish we could stay longer.  We took a walk from our first rate space (B9 in Loop B) over to the marina.  Everything is so clean and green.  Lots of friendly folks were fishing and boating and riding bikes and just enjoying the fabulous weather.  We met two sweet ‘kids’ – local college students – who made us feel very welcome.  It’s a place we would love to visit again and I highly recommend this park.
