Springville-Provo KOA

We’ve stayed here on two separate occasions and do not have the same impression as some others. Perhaps it’s where the site is located. There are long term renters with yard spread located on the south side of the park. We were parked on the north side near the office on both our stays.

We found our site to be clean/well maintained and our neighbors quiet and friendly. Office staff was great and the group facilities including laundry were clean. This is an RV park so sites are close. Great location right off the highway but was not bothered by any road noise. Our door side had a nice view of the mountains.

Felt safe and will definitely stay here whenever we pass through.

I had many ideas of a title for this review. Never Again / Run Away / Trailer Park disguised as a Campground but I decided "The Inner City Projects of the RV World" was the best description. First of all, I must accept the responsibility for making the reservation without fully checking everything out. With that said this is the worst campground ever. We needed to stay in the Provo Area and the Lakeside RV Park in Provo was full so I thought, “Hey this place will work for a few nights?” The sites are way too small (width and length) for larger rigs, we fit but there is no privacy of space. We had one slide out 3” off the neighbors awning… our water hook-up was IN our neighbors front grass area… the water pressure was so bad my water pump had more pressure. From what I could see I think at least a one-fourth to one-third of the park is full time residents but maybe I am exaggerating. There is no view from this park except for the rig next to you unless you are one of the full timers backed into the first row. The crazy part is this campground was busy, several big rigs there for the week. I guess some like to camp like this, on top of one another. I don’t not camp at KOA very often but have been at a few that were very nice, not all KOA are equal have learned. FYI... there are train track right behind this place but we had out AC Units running non stop to cut the noise of the campground out and never heard the trains.

Even though access off Interstate 15 is easy, I would not stay here again, particularly because I have a dog. The sites are narrow and very close together. The dog park is TERRIBLE. It's too small, it is not clean, it stinks and there are fleas and other biting bugs there that are not in the rest of the park. Lots of permanent residents with less than well maintained units. This is supposed to be a Journey park, but it does not deserve this rating. I've been in nicer KOAs that weren't Journey designations. The price is expensive for what amenities are provided.

This is what is we typically find in KOAs. Very tight spaces, mixed with some long term residents and in need of some general cleaning and upkeep.

There is a laundry facility with 3 washers and dryers. Very reasonable prices. I heard that there is a second laundry facility on the premises.

Electric, water and sewer all worked fine. Sites was pretty level. Ours was a pull through site.

Easy location on and off the highway.

Campground has WiFi. I was getting about 3MB down.

This KOA certainly has its sites packed tightly together, but it was a fine place to sleep. The playground was weird. The platform was almost 6’ off the ground, and the slides are so steep, they are practically straight down. I couldn’t let my youngest go down them. Strange. I’d stay here again if circumstances were right, but I’d probably try to stay somewhere else if I could help it. Maybe stop sooner, in Green River, or drive further all the way to Salt Lake.

This is a pretty nice stay-over spot, and up to KOA quality standards, but this is the tightest spot we've ever stayed in.

Check-in was fast and easy, the staff was friendly, and directions to our site were clear and easy to follow. Once parked and hooked up, we realized how tight we were all jammed into this park. When our awning was extended, it was less than three feet from the slide of the Class A next door. Maybe we're a bit spoiled from spending the last few months in wide-open spaces, but it was the tightest park we've ever stayed at.

It's quiet enough, and while there were many full-time residents there, none seemed sketchy. All the amenities were present, and the area had all the shopping necessary to get us restocked and back on the road again.
