Camping

Jordanelle State Park's campgrounds are open from May 1 to October 31. Hailstone has 103 RV sites with water and 30-amp power, plus the tent-only McHenry loops; Rock Cliff has 45 more sites by the Provo River, including full-hookup and walk-in tent sites. RV sites cost $50 a night, tent sites $40 and hike-in sites $35, plus an $8 reservation fee. Book through ReserveAmerica. Check-in is 3 p.m. and early arrivals aren't let in before then.

Hailstone Campgrounds

Hailstone, off US-40, holds most of the park's camping. Its 103 RV sites have partial hookups (30-amp power and water), and every site has a fire pit with a barbecue grill and a picnic table. The restrooms have hot showers and flush toilets. The RV loops are:

• Upper Fisher
• Lower Fisher, with the playground next to Murdock Camp Services
• Dutch Hollow
• Wasatch
• Murdoch Hollow, where Murdock Camp Services adds a laundry

A dump station is on the west side of the campground. Utah State Parks notes that the sites sell out fast, so plan ahead (Hailstone).

McHenry Tent Campground

McHenry is four loops built just for tents, with showers and a water spigot in each loop. RVs and trailers are not allowed in any McHenry loop. The park allows only small teardrop and cab-over campers there, and other rigs are asked to leave. Tents go on the tent pads or on the asphalt.

Rock Cliff Campground

Rock Cliff, near Kamas at the east end of the reservoir, adds 45 sites with fire pits, grills and picnic tables (Rock Cliff):

• Aspen Grove: full hookups (30/50-amp power, sewer and water).
• River Bend: partial hookups (30/50-amp power and water).
• Upland Meadow: a hike-in tent loop. Each site is a short walk from the parking lot on an unpaved path with a slight incline; the whole loop is 0.1 mile.
• Osprey group site: four full-hookup RV sites, parking for 10 vehicles and a large group pavilion.

Utah State Parks' brochure describes Rock Cliff's walk-in sites as tent-only spots reached by a short boardwalk through the aspens, each sized for one four-person tent, with modern restrooms and hot showers. The Rock Cliff campground gate closes at 10 p.m.; your ReserveAmerica confirmation has the entry code.

Group, Hike-In and Boat Camping

• Keetley Group Campsite: up to 75 people, four tent pads, a pavilion with nine picnic tables, four RV hookup sites (water and power), and two restrooms with showers. $350 a night Monday to Thursday, $400 Friday to Sunday, plus a $10.25 group reservation fee.
• Hike-in and boat-in sites (Phostan Bay): $35 a night, no hookups.
• Camping on your boat: $40 a night. Your boat needs a marine toilet, must be anchored at least 40 feet off shore, and must show a 360-degree white light while anchored (Boating & Marina).

Winter
