RV Parks In Kamas, Utah

We track several RV parks and campgrounds serving the Kamas area, a mix of public and private options. The private anchor is Roam Uinta RV Resort in town with full hookups on the Provo River. For public camping, the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest runs a string of campgrounds along the Mirror Lake Byway, including Mirror Lake, Trial Lake, Lost Creek, and Soapstone, and Rock Cliff at Jordanelle State Park about 15 miles southwest adds a full-hookup state-park option. That public-plus-private mix lets you choose full-service valley camping or rustic alpine sites, and both take reservations.

Yes. Roam Uinta RV Resort in town offers full hookups, including sewer, on 30/50-amp service along the Provo River, making it the go-to valley base for power, water, and dumping. Rock Cliff at Jordanelle State Park, about 15 miles southwest, is a newer full-hookup RV campground reserved through Utah State Parks. The national forest campgrounds up the Mirror Lake Byway, by contrast, have no hookups at all, just drinking water and vault toilets. So for full hookups you'll stay in the valley at the resort or Jordanelle, and use the forest campgrounds when you want the alpine setting without services.

It depends on where you're staying. Roam Uinta RV Resort takes reservations directly by phone or website, and you'll want one on summer weekends. The national forest campgrounds along the Mirror Lake Byway book through recreation.gov, and the popular lakeside sites fill early, so reserve well ahead. Rock Cliff at Jordanelle State Park reserves through the Utah State Parks system. Across the board, summer is the busy season in this high country, so don't count on walk-up availability; book in advance, and pick up a Mirror Lake recreation pass for the national forest corridor while you're at it.

Late June through September is the prime window for the high country, with warm days, cool nights, and the Mirror Lake Byway open for alpine camping, fishing, and hiking. Fall brings crisp weather and golden aspens until snow closes the byway, usually by mid-October. Spring is a muddy snowmelt season with the byway still closed into late May. Winter is cold and snowy with the high-country campgrounds shut, though the valley RV resort may stay open for access to Park City's ski areas. For the mountains, plan a midsummer trip and reserve ahead.

No. SR-150, the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway, is a seasonal mountain road that climbs above 10,700 feet, and it's closed by snow for much of the year. It typically opens in late May and closes in mid-October, with the most reliable conditions from late June through September. That short season is the single most important thing to plan around here, because the national forest campgrounds along the byway are only accessible when the road is open. Always confirm the byway's current status before planning alpine camping, since opening and closing dates shift with the snowpack each year.

They can, but with care. SR-150 is a steep mountain highway with grades and switchbacks climbing to 10,715 feet, so a big rig should take it slowly and only when the byway is open. The forest campgrounds along it have size limits that vary by site, and they're no-hookup, so a large coach is often better based at the full-hookup valley resort with day trips up the byway in a towed vehicle. If you do take a big rig up, check site length limits when you reserve on recreation.gov, watch your engine temperature on the climbs, and use low gears on the descents.

Yes, in the valley. Roam Uinta RV Resort in town has full hookups with sewer, and Rock Cliff at Jordanelle State Park offers full-hookup sites, so dumping is covered wherever you have a hookup site. The national forest campgrounds along the Mirror Lake Byway, however, are no-hookup with vault toilets and no dump stations, so if you camp up high you'll need to come back down to dump. Plan a stop at the in-town resort or Jordanelle on your way in or out of the mountains, and top off freshwater in the valley too, since the high-country sites only have basic drinking water.

The Uinta Mountains are the main event. The Mirror Lake Scenic Byway opens up hundreds of alpine lakes for trout fishing, paddling, hiking, and backpacking, with trailheads and campgrounds all along the road. Closer to town, the Provo River is a noted fly-fishing stream, and Jordanelle State Park has a reservoir for boating and swimming. Park City, 20 miles west, adds dining, shopping, and Olympic venues for a day trip. We'd plan a stay around mountain mornings up the byway, river fishing in the valley, and an occasional run into Park City or Heber for supplies and a meal out.

Get them in Kamas before you head up the mountain, because there are no services on the Mirror Lake Byway. The town has gas, a grocery, and propane, which covers the basics for a high-country trip. For larger stores, RV repair, and anything specialized, Heber City and Park City are short drives away. The key habit here is to fuel up and stock the rig fully in the valley, since once you climb into the Uintas you're on your own for days at a time. Top off freshwater and empty tanks at your valley hookup site before heading up as well.

Yes, for the national forest corridor. The Mirror Lake Scenic Byway requires a recreation pass to stop or camp along it in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, separate from your campsite fee. You can buy the pass in Kamas or online before you go. Camping fees at the forest campgrounds are charged on top of the pass, and dispersed camping is allowed in parts of the forest with the pass, following the motor vehicle use map and pack-out rules. Jordanelle State Park and the private RV resort charge their own fees instead and don't require the forest pass.

Cold, even in summer. The high-country campgrounds sit between 9,000 and 10,400 feet, where nights drop into the 30s and 40s through July and August despite warm afternoons. By fall, nighttime lows hit freezing, and winter shuts the high country down entirely. Bring warm bedding, layers, and a way to heat the rig, and remember that the thin air at elevation affects both you and your engine. The valley sites in Kamas itself are milder but still cool at night. Plan for big day-to-night temperature swings, which are normal for Utah's high mountains.

In the valley, sometimes; in the mountains, no. The Mirror Lake Byway and its national forest campgrounds are closed by snow through the winter, so high-country camping isn't an option from roughly mid-October to late May. In the valley, the in-town RV resort may stay open and can be a base for skiing at Park City's nearby resorts, though you'll be camping in genuine cold and snow with the usual winter-RV precautions for freezing. If your goal is the alpine lakes and the byway, plan a summer trip instead; if it's winter sports, treat Kamas as a cold-weather staging point near the ski areas.

It depends on what you're after. The valley full-hookup parks, Roam Uinta RV Resort and Jordanelle's Rock Cliff, are the pick for sewer, power, water, and an easy base with day trips up the byway, ideal for big rigs and longer stays. The national forest campgrounds up the Mirror Lake Byway are the pick for the alpine setting, lakeside sites, and quiet, at the cost of no hookups and cold nights at altitude. Many RVers do both: base in the valley for full services and spend a few nights up high when the weather and the byway cooperate. Reserve either one ahead in summer.
