Jordanelle State Park

We stayed here for about a week. The sites are well maintained. The lake is low, but the views are nice. We had great cell signal on AT&T at Site 36 (about 100 Mbps down!) and ok Verizon (about 10-12 Mbps down). When we moved to Site 18 to finish our stay, AT&T dropped to about 40 Mbps and Verizon stayed the same. In all, very good cell signal. They have a laundry room that's $2 for washers and $2 for dryers. I didn't try it out. The showers are free and were clean, but the water sprays everywhere. We would definitely return to this park.

I cannot rave enough about this park. It is clean, well kempt, and quiet. The sites are well laid out and offer privacy more often than not. Even when the park filled up on the weekends we did not feel crowded or on-top of the neighbors. The sunrises were so beautiful over the lake and really the views were fantastic all around. We saw several pavilions for rent and a paddle board rental station. It was a bit chilly so we did not get in the lake but we did enjoy some nice hikes around the lake. We saw ALOT of deer during our stay and saw some cute little cabins for rent by the water. The reservoir was low but it was still gorgeous. There were some bugs (not mosquitoes or flies) that may have bothered us due to their number but a citronella candle kept them at bay. The sites are paved, come with a metal picnic table and a nice built up fire pit with a cooking platform. To top it off the cell signal allowed us to work from campsite. T-mobile 5 bars 4G 45 MBPS down and 30 MBPS up. Verizon signal varied and was sometimes 20 MBPS down 9 MBPS up with 4 bars and other times we would have no signal AT ALL. I have one small complaint that was odd. The loop we stayed in would occasionally get a very strong sewer smell for 5 minutes or so and dissipate. It happened about 3 times a day. We decided to not leave the windows open for this reason. There was no dump station in our site but there was one in the park. You are 15 minutes from Park City or Heber Valley. Approx. 45 minutes from SLC. We originally booked 1 night and stayed 2 weeks. We did not check out the bathrooms but walking by it looked like individual stalls with access from outside. You can see the highway but I can't remember ever hearing it.

This is a huge and well-run campground. Lots of loops, all paved. Check the notes or Google Maps satellite about whether your loop has trees and shade.

The lake is quite low - extreme drought is obvious by the bathtub ring here. The shoreline mud is pretty yucky so wear water shoes that fit tightly. The swimming area is essentially nonexistant because of the water level and there were some folks that had skin rashes from swimming (we didn't experience this). There's a great little sailing school that looks like great fun. Paddleboarding was OK, lots of motorboats but it was pleasant.

Showers do the job but aren't fancy although it's nice to have a showerhouse with five separate compartments and your own door. There are also cabanas you can use down by the beach. I imagine this place is an absolutely madhouse on summer weekends given the amount of infrastructure they have.

it's 15 minutes to downtown Park City which has a fantastic library, mountain bike park, and hiking trails. Very easy access off the road, which is audible but not awful. Superb cell phone coverage. You can see the tower from the campground.

This is a great location, lots to do around and in the lake. We used it as a stop over enroute to Teton National Park. We came in late in the dark and it was a little tricky finding our site. Asked a super helpful camphost, and she gave us a map and guidance. Right near the lake - very little road noise from the highway. A bit pricey for what you get, which is the only reason I would not give it 5 stars. But super clean and an awesome location.

Boy, what a pretty park, for as old as the park is, it is dearly taken care of. The day use area is probably the jewel of the park. If you can drive your rig/toad down to the day use you will really experience what this park has to offer.
My only complaints are...the water pressure is incredibly high, both at the campground and the showers. We have pressure regulators to mitigate the campground, but the showers will literally pressure washer you skin off, the pressure coupled with a rather high water temperature make you get out ASAP. Of course all that shower water is too much for the shower drains so the floor quickly floods and everything is wet as the cascade of water crushes the small shower curtain separating yourself from the dry clothes.
Second, the dump station is a real stinker. You do not want to be downwind at certain times of the day, try and get a spot as far away as possible. There is a green button at the dump station you are supposed to push prior to dumping, I can only guess that it might be a macerator pump...but I’m only guessing.
Cheers!

Jordanelle was a beautiful location, and my site had a spectacular view over the lake. However, the site sloped significantly uphill, and it was impossible to level, even with the jack fully retracted. Half the sites in Lower Fisher were badly sloped. The description of my site (36) in Reserve America deceptively said "Driveway grade: slight". Site 37, across from me, was so badly sloped as to be unusable, but its description just said "Driveway grade: moderate".

Verizon 4G was 4 bars, -86dB, 3-12 Mbps down and 13-19 up.

Nice campground with flushing toilets and private showers! Water & electric for hookup but there is a dump onsite. Only drawback was our site was very steep so even using leveling blocks it was hard to get level. Other sites didn’t look too bad, it was our luck of the draw!
Gate staff were friendly and helpful just don’t unhook your tow before you enter or you might get charged for an additional vehicle. Plenty of room to unhook after you enter!
