even though the scenery on 191 from Bluff was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed the day.\u00a0 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).\u00a0 What a pleasant surprise.\u00a0 To come out of the concrete jungle into paradise was a real treat.\u00a0 Just the most beautiful setting ever.\u00a0 The water, marina, boats, trees, cool breeze, moonrise and sunset all at once was almost too much for the senses!<\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t have reservations but the park was pretty empty.\u00a0 We had our choice of large, spacious campsites, complete with cabana and picnic table, and water and electric all for only $20 a night.\u00a0 Best of all, the way the sights are situated, you get a view of alfalfa fields and mountains instead of another RV. \u00a0 Wish we could stay longer. \u00a0We took a walk from our first rate space (B9 in Loop B) over to the marina.\u00a0 Everything is so clean and green.\u00a0 Lots of friendly folks were fishing and boating and riding bikes and just enjoying the fabulous weather.\u00a0 We met two sweet &#8216;kids&#8217; &#8211; local college students &#8211; who made us feel very welcome.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a place we would love to visit again and I highly recommend this park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/2011\/08\/11\/utah-lake-state-park\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-facebook-plugin\/facebook_share_icon.gif\" alt=\"Share on Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/2011\/08\/11\/utah-lake-state-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\">Share on Facebook<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not to disparage commercial RV parks but it&#8217;s hard to beat a good State Park.\u00a0 And Utah Lake State Park is a REALLY good State Park.\u00a0 We arrived an hour and a half after our desired time and were pretty darn tired &#8211;
