Lakeside Cove RV Resort

One of my favorite sayings is you get what you pay for. Truer words were never spoken. Do not stay here if you have another options. We stayed for that reason and that reason only. We tried to call the office 3 times the woman refused to take our reservation because if we have to cancel she can’t give a refund.” The sites were nasty, unkempt, and I level. The bathrooms were what you would expect. Some of the campsite where I’m assuming long term campers stayed looked like a homeless encampment. Would give zero stars if I could.

Shady campsite with full hookups. Gravel RV parking with grass and picnic table and some sites have fire rings. Nice private access from campground to Starvation Reservoir. Campground needs some attention but camp hosts are very friendly and accommodating. All and all I will comeback.

This is an RPI discounted park that is going through some new ownership pains. Brenda and her husband are a two person team running this park. We stayed in Site 34 which is part of the long term area. The sites on this side are in need of serious work to be anything close to how nice the sites are in the main part of the park. After a long talk with Brenda we agreed to come back and give them another try next year after they've had a chance to make it better. Water pressure here was really low but that were actively working on it. Good news full hookups with 50AMPs. The actual resort looks nice with beautiful views. Our side was also blessed with views and the added bonus a cemetery too. No really it's a very nice one well maintained and I even slept like a baby. I will update this review next year when we come back.

Access is very easy however if they are still working on the bridge you will need to go one road past.
Location is in the middle of nowhere with amazing beauty all around. Nearest town about 5 miles.
Cleanliness in the main park is outstanding but long term needs much more maintenance so we are splitting the difference here.
Site Quality in main park outstanding long term not so much. Again splitting the difference.
Noise is not bad. Park sits close to the highway so road noise is there but not excessive.
Verizon had strong signal here but really poor bandwidth. Means we had bars but slow service on all devices. I will add pictures when I get better through put.

There are some RV Parks that have existed for many years and have thrived and stayed relevant. I’m sad to say that this park is not one of them. If the owners truly want to stay in business and maintain a good reputation amongst RVer’s and campers, an infusion of cash and care needs to occur. Let me give a few pros. The park is easy to get to off of US-40 and conveniently located next to Starvation Reservoir. There are some trees that provide a small amount of shade. The price to stay for a night was great at $35-$39 for full hookups. The electric, water and sewer worked well and was conveniently placed.
Now for the cons. First let me say that the ongoing drought in the western US, which is severe, has been hard on this park but there are only so many ways to attribute all the issues to the drought. Being a desert climate, this park should reflect this and can be neat and visually appealing with the right accents and care. Check in is done online but there is poor cellular service in this area and the park Wi-Fi requires a password which you don’t get until AFTER you check in. When we arrived in the middle of the afternoon on a Thursday, the place looked like an old west ghost town. I was having a hard time distinguishing what was supposed to be grass and what was our parking site. I found a fellow camper and he helped me see where to park. After about 20-30 minutes, one of the management team walked up to me with a tag to place in my vehicle. There were signs around that said to “Keep off the Grass”. This was laughable as there was not a piece of grass in sight. The park is in need of tidying up with the camphosts site being the first place to start. There was debris and old and weathered items strewn about the area around their trailer. With so few people in the park, I took my dog for a short stretch walk without his leash and was told by the female manager to have my dog on a leash due to other dogs in the park. I agreed and then watched her dog on at least 3 separate occasions walking with her husband in the park off leash. The park also advertises Wi-Fi. It basically does not exist. I was told that “when the wind blows, the Wi-Fi doesn’t work very well”. In this part of Utah, the wind is always blowing! We have sketchy connectivity at best with our cellular modem that we use. The men’s restroom/shower was adequate but the women’s restroom had 2 of the 4 stalls placed out of order.
We had two nights booked at this park but decided quickly that we’d only stay for one and donate the fee for the second night to the park. From all looks of things, they need it.

We had a fairly level average sized pull thru site. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The day before we left the sewer was plugged from the women's bathroom, it got unplugged but it filtered down to our site and caused ours to be stopped up. It took a bit of work but he finally got it flowing.
