Palisade State Park UT

Utah
Location: In central Utah off U.S. Highway 89 north of I-70 and east of I-15. About 2 miles east of the small town of Sterling.
Our Site: WA04 in the Wakara section.
GPS Coordinates: 39.20609N, 111.6648W
Price & Discounts:$33 for full hook-ups. $16 for no hook-ups.
Rank: 7 (out of ten)
Reason Selected: Looked like a great stopping point on our way to Flaming Gorge.
Setting: Campground is in a mountain valley at 5,800 feet elevation on a small reservoir. The sites are all paved and all have varying degrees of lake views. The location of the park is beautiful. The campsites individually don’t have a lot of character – many are like spurs in a parking lot. Very crowded next to double site. Sites had mupitile cars and ATV on each site only 2 were allowed but no one enforced quite hours or parking. Nice lake and gold course was not crowed and well keep. If I stayed here again I would get site in lower campground.
Big Rig Friendly: Very big rig friendly. The Wakara section is new and the sites are enormous. But the other sections can accommodate large rigs as well.
Hook-ups: About half of the 53 sites have full hook-ups with 50-amp service. The other half have no hook-ups.
Laundry: None.
Other Factors: Satellite isn’t a problem in most sites. Really nice 18-hole golf course on-site with a snack bar/grill serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A long way from everything, but there is a gas station in Sterling that has gas and diesel. Fourteen miles up U.S. Hwy 89 in the town of Ephraim is a Super Wal-mart. Canoe and paddle-boat rentals and fishing in the Palisade lake. Two hiking trails. Pretty good cell coverage.
We heard that this state park is the most popular state park in Utah on weekends. It’s a really nice out-of-the-way facility. The full hook-ups sites are very large, Almost all the sites are reservable and they get booked way in advance for the weekends, but availability is pretty good during the week. We loved this little state park, but we weren’t crazy about the way the sites are set up.
