About Lower Provo River Campground
Campground in Utah.
Lower Provo River Campground offers a scenic riverside camping experience in the heart of Utah's stunning Wasatch Mountains region. Located along the pristine Provo River, this public campground provides an ideal base for travelers seeking to explore one of the West's most beautiful landscapes while enjoying direct access to excellent water recreation and hiking opportunities.
The setting itself is a major draw for visitors. Nestled in a forested canyon environment, the campground places you within easy reach of some of Utah's most iconic destinations. The nearby Provo Canyon offers breathtaking scenery with towering red rock formations and lush vegetation that changes dramatically with the seasons. Whether you're visiting in summer when wildflowers bloom abundantly or in fall when the aspens turn golden, the natural beauty surrounding this campground provides an ever-changing backdrop for your camping adventure.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Provo River is a centerpiece attraction. The river is renowned among fly fishing communities for its excellent trout fishing opportunities. Anglers of all skill levels find the waters rewarding, making this an exceptional destination for those who want to combine camping with quality fishing time. Beyond fishing, the river supports swimming and wading during warmer months, offering refreshing breaks during your stay.
The location also serves as a gateway to numerous hiking trails that range from easy riverside walks to more challenging mountain excursions. Adventure seekers will appreciate the proximity to both day hikes and multi-day backpacking routes. The campground's position in the mountains means you're surrounded by opportunities to explore Utah's natural wonders without needing to travel far each day.
This campground appeals to a wide range of visitors. Families appreciate the accessible river location and outdoor activities suitable for various ages. Retirees enjoy the peaceful forest setting and moderate elevation. Serious outdoor enthusiasts value the proximity to hiking, fishing, and backcountry exploration. The highly rated facility welcomes RVers seeking a genuine mountain camping experience with genuine natural attractions rather than developed resort amenities.

We hade site 9. Seemed to be one of the larger ones. Great spot for tents and a few hammocks. Trees all around. It was perfect for my truck bed tent as I was able to back into a level area. Site 8 was small. Site 4, 5 and 6 have direct river access. Bud was the host. He was very friendly and had a stock to wood for purchase at 9.00. Don’t forget to bring mosquito repellent

This was an amazing camp site! We went hoping to find an open site for the night and found quite the gem at Lower Provo River Campground. The site hosts, Doug and Arva, were so welcoming and always there to help when we needed anything. The bathrooms were always very well kept, as was the camp site. The River was flooded so there was a ton of areas to get your feet wet and listen to the water flow... This was an amazing camp site!
