“Not Too Shabby”

The biggest drawback here is that most campers can't park their tow car at their site. We usually had to park it a couple minute walk away. Not a huge deal since we need the exercise.

The biggest drawback here is that most campers can't park their tow car at their site. We usually had to park it a couple minute walk away. Not a huge deal since we need the exercise.
The sites in our row were on a very slight incline from back to front, and they're a little too close together. Other than that, the place is great. The construction mentioned in a previous review was noticeable, but while we were there, it only posed an issue when heading north (or coming back to the rv park from the north)--while downtown SLC and most places we visited were south of this park.
Bathrooms were great. Very clean. Excellent bike path goes right by the resort. Freeway noise provided perfect white noise blanket so other sounds are muffled.

First the Bad: This area of Salt Lake City is undergoing a ton of road construction and is home to a Chevron refinery that is visible and contains restricted areas that make driving around very difficult. After checking in, we headed for a highly rated Mexican restaurant about a mile away, but it took us 15 minutes to get there and more to get home because of many limited access roads and construction detours. The "right" way involved an unpaved alley next to the highway. There is an enormous amount of construction going on, including terracing the mountains for housing.
The Good: The RV park itself is quite nice. I was greeted by a friendly woman in the office and we received complimentary cookies that were tasty. The park as a whole is tidy, well maintained, felt safe, etc. There is a walking path, but it is littered as is the river it borders. Many people ride bikes or walk on that path, so it felt safe, but it's not a scenic as I expected. The park had a giant chess board, and we saw kids enjoying that. The wifi was fine and the cable tv was as expected. The laundry facilities looked good (we didn't use them) and the showers and bathrooms were individual rooms and kept clean.
I would stay here again in a pinch, but I would make sure I didn't have to come and go much. I assume the construction will abate some over the next year or so, at which point the experience could be totally different.

We stayed at Pony Express for a number of nights before we tried to head to Denver. It was a very pleasant stay. As we were heading out of town, our truck’s engine failed and we needed a tow. We immediately gave Pony Express a call. We were towed in (41ft 5th wheel and F450 dually) late at night. A staff member kindly came to check on us and ensured that all necessary paperwork and payment could wait until the next morning. For the next 3 weeks while waiting for our truck repairs, we encountered such kindness and sense of community from all in the park! We were driven to the grocery store by our neighbors and had endless people offering to help, even if it was just to lift our spirits. We so appreciate the management, staff, beautifully kept facilities, and location of this park! We couldn’t recommend it more!

This was my first actual rv resort. I have stayed at parks, but this was truly a resort. Everything was very nice, as was everyone! I would highly recommend this place if you are visiting Salt Lake City. Laundry was 2 bucks a load, which is a tad high, but you can use a card so you don’t have to worry about quarters.

We came to SLC to get repairs done on our RV. We thought it would be only a few days but it took forever to get done! Thankfully we stayed at Pony Express. The staff was very helpful and accommodating of our situation. We needed to take the RV in and leave it over night a couple of times and we were able to rent one of Pony Express's Chalets for those nights. The Chalets are very nice and well equipped. We left for Thanksgiving then came back to get repairs finished when the correct parts finally came in. When we returned we moved to a slightly narrower site but saved a few buck each night. I really couldn't notice a difference but I like saving money. They take Enjoy America and Good Sam. Nice long paved sites-grass, picnic table, good water pressure and wifi. The only drawback is that this park is near oil refineries and it can smell sometimes. I drove by the KOA just incase we decided to move closer to downtown but it was in a bad neighborhood. I will stay here next time we are passing through. As a side note: Salt Lake City has and awesome maker space called MakeSaltLake if you are ever here for an extended time. I was able to make all my Christmas presents there, while waiting for to get back on the road!

It’s not very frequent we stay at RV parks so we can’t compare it to others very well. But we found this place to be very clean and well-taken care of. Each site has a picnic table, small grassy spot, and a tree.
The main downside is that the sites (at least the one we were in) were very tight. In fact, I ripped my jeans on the RV slide next to our truck as I walked to our driver side door. We found it strange that despite there being a lot of empty sites, we were given a spot right next to a parked rig and then another RV was parked next to us.
The upsides of the place are: the public bathrooms and showers were very clean, there are two small fenced in areas for dogs to be off-leash, and the Jordan River Greenway is right behind the RV park. It’s also ~10 miles from downtown SLC.
Highway noises can be heard from the park since it’s located right next to I-215. But we didn’t find it to be disturbing. The RV park did have nice views of snowcapped mountains even though it’s located in an industrial neighborhood.
Weekday prices were $47.09 and weekend prices increased to $53.81, after taxes.

We needed someplace to stay near Salt Lake for a couple of days. Due to a cold front, we wanted FHU.
This is a well cared for RV park. Neighbors are close but sites are nice. Location is a little strange. The park is located in an industrial area behind and RV dealer.
The park location does afford great views of the mountains, easy access to a bicycle trail and shopping minutes away.
The laundry facility was spotless and new equipment. $2.00 for wash $1.75 for dry.
WiFi worked ok but became slower with more weekend arrivals.
They have some cabin options and even a vintage Airstream that you can rent. Staff at the park did a very good job.
There is some highway noise.
