We recently stayed at Temple Ridge Retreat Campground and were pleasantly surprised by the charm and potential of this hidden gem. While the campground is currently undergoing improvements, the effort and vision behind the upgrades are clearly visible—and promising. The staff were incredibly welcoming and transparent about the renovations. We appreciated their hospitality and the way they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The location is centrally situated near town, peaceful, with plenty of shade, and offers easy access to off-road riding trails. Even with the work in progress, the campground is well-maintained and provides a clean and safe environment. The owner shared with us his favorite spot in the campground. We especially loved riding (you can walk too) to the top of the hillside in the campground, where the view of the valley and Manti temple was spectacular, especially at dusk. We caught the sunset over the valley. If you're looking for a polished resort-style experience, you might want to wait until the renovations are complete. But if you're up for a little adventure and want to support a place that's clearly investing in its future, Temple Ridge Retreat Campground is worth a visit. We’re excited to come back and see how it all comes together!

New ownership of Temple Ridge will have us as loyal customers. The new ownership has really improved the RV Park a lot. They have made many improvements. They really care about making this RV Park one that people will want to keep coming back! They are friendly and very accommodating. It’s a great location for people with ATVs. Easy access to the mountains without having to trailer up. B Jasperson New ownership of Temple Ridge will have us as loyal customers. The new ownership has really improved the RV Park a lot.

We stayed five nights. The campground is being renovated and is looking really nice. One of the owners Andrew stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Manti Canyon is a short distance and it goes up to Skyline Drive. It a great place for 4 wheelers and UTV riding. The camp hosts are very friendly we are going back for sure. Just went back to the campground they are continuing to improve... We stayed five nights. The campground is being renovated and is looking really nice.

The new owners are really making this place great again! The pool is clean and the whole place is so cleaned up! They all seem to go out of there way to make sure each guest has a positive experience. Mara in office is especially great with the kids! My kids loved finding the cute little bears. The bathrooms and laundry are kept clean and there are lots of activities available in the office. I lov... The new owners are really making this place great again!

I love the location it's close to the highway, but tucked behind the hill. I really don't have anything negative to say; anything semi-negative would be things they are clearly working to improve! If your thinking about staying here just do it! You won't regret it!

As this is not a hotel, the "rooms" category isn't applicable since we used our RV. However, the RV spots were nice and flat, easy access to everything, plenty of water pressure, nice area and location, employees and hosts were amazing!!!! If you forget something, the office usually has what you need. The pool was nice, they have activities for kids, playground was good. Excellent RV park!
