Pleasant Creek RV Resort

This campground is located in a remote area that requires driving on some desolate side roads. Our first thought was that we were lost, and then our RV GPS tried to take us to a local private ranch (what?) Luckily we didn't panic due to the excellent signage that directed us to the right location. Thank you Pleasant Creek staff! And it was an absolute steal at $11.00 per night through RPI. Great price! We stayed for 5 nights in pull-through full hookup gravel site #30. The FHU sites are constructed sideways on a hill so they are not entirely level. Everything else was great though. Sadly this place is overwhelmed with flies. My wife and I have stayed in 100+ campgrounds over the last 2.5 years, and we have never seen so many of these pesky little critters. Perhaps that is a function of the Utah climate? On a more positive note, views of the surrounding mountains were incredible. Campground is also incredibly quiet. Average bathrooms and showers. One of the men's showers was missing a showerhead. The free wifi worked great at our site for 4 of the 5 days. We were also able to program over the air TV channels NBC, FOX and PBS. My AT&T phone had 2 bars and my wife's Verizon phone had 3 bars. Excellent local grocery store called Terrel's Market about 5 miles away. Free DVDs available in the office. Office also has a small store that stocks basic items for purchase.

Stayed here over the 4th of July weekend mostly because the other Escape RV Resorts that this RV Park belongs to we’re already booked. This was at the bottom of my list out of all the parks that belong to this chain and my hunch was right — not my favorite but it served it’s purpose. If you’re a SxS owner, it looks like the place to be as it seemed like every other camp site had one parked in it.

I’m not a huge fan of RV parks in general due to how crowded they tend to be but my kids have done so great at all the other campgrounds we’ve stayed at that I gave in, strictly because of the availability of a pool.

This place is actually in a really nice area and is secluded enough that at one point l started to wonder if we were heading the right way. When I pulled in I was met by someone from the front office and shown how to get to my spot on a map. I was also warned about their zero tolerance for fireworks which I was happy to hear about.

Our camp site was a pull-through that I struggled to get in with my 34ft TT pulled by a GMC Sierra crew cab. I had to maneuver between my neighbor’s slide out and a large tree with a big overhanging branch. Luckily the pull-through site behind us was still empty and I was able to use that to straighten up or it would have taken much longer to park. I guess I’m used to much wider pull-through spots.

The park did keep good communication with everyone via text which included an invitation for kids to do a craft at their pavilion and asking for anyone anyone that knew about air conditioners to please help someone in need at one of the sites.

When the park is at capacity, the pool turns into a wrist band system with each wrist band having a two hour limit and a different colored band for each time block. Adult time is the last two hours of the day.

If you’re looking to have a campfire, make sure you get a back-in spot as those are the only ones that have a fire ring in them. We happened to have a portable fire ring with us and after pleading with the camp host to give us a chance, he let us build a fire in our pull through spot if we promised to keep any ashes or burnt logs off the ground so that the next guest doesn’t have to deal with it.

Hookups for 50/30, water, and sewer were well situated and WIFI was great as we were literally right next to the antenna, about 3 feet from our slide out. T-Mobile signal was 3 bars.

If you’re able to fit in a back-in site, I definitely recommend it better than a pull-through site at this park though you will still be on the cramped site. I’m willing to check out the other Escape sites in Knotty Pines, Echo Island, and Lakeside, but I will probably not return to Pleasant Creek.

We paid $45 during the week and $50 during the weekend. We had a great, relaxing time here. There is now a big new playground with slides and swings. Some sites have some grass, trees, picnic tables and fire rings. Some don't have a lot of space in between them and the next one. The WiFi worked great for us. We were only there with 4-5 other campers so I’m sure that helped. We got to see a few deer walk through every now and then. And you could hear wild turkeys if you listen hard enough. It was very quiet the whole time we were there. No street noise or trains or anything like that

We paid for 3 nights at $22 with our Passport America discount, and there were additional fees and taxes that brought the total cost to about $76. I booked the site using their online tool, then emailed them to receive my discount, and they responded quickly.
We stayed here Tuesday to Friday during cold weather, so the park was very quiet... I could see this place being a lot noisier and more chaotic (there are a lot of camp sites and side-by-sides are popular). Our site was a little off level, but it was pretty easy to get into, fairly spacious, and semi-private. The CG sites are on a small hill, so some sites are less level than others, and the middle pull-through sites looked like they would require the most blocks. Our utilities worked fine though our septic is in the back, and the septic hook-up for this site was toward the middle/front, making it a little work to park in a way that we could reach it. The park has lots of trees and wild life was abundant (deer and turkeys daily).
There is Wifi, but I forget to get the password at check-in. However, Verizon worked perfectly, no booster required. There is a pool, laundry, and bathrooms, but we didn't use any of those. The CG is located about 20 minutes from Ephraim (Walmart, Tractor Supply), and the town of Mt Pleasant has it's own grocery and restaurants. My only minor gripe is that check-out time is 11am, and that's just a little too early for us. Overall, this was a good stay and not your typical commercial parking lot.

Located slightly off the beaten path from out standard route up Route 6, but in parallel to your route if you're headed from SLC Utah to anywhere south, this campground is located in the foothills up around 5000 feet. Full hookups nestled in the scrub oaks and chapparal, and even though sites are close together, the feel is private. The sound of crickets will lull you to sleep and zero traffic noise. A really nicely maintained resort.
