Camping near Lake Shore, Utah
Lake Shore is an unincorporated community on the east side of Utah Lake in Utah County, a short drive south of Provo and within the Wasatch Front metro area. RV travelers use it as a quiet base for reaching Utah's largest freshwater lake at roughly 148 square miles, which provides a variety of recreation activities, including fishing, boating, swimming, and paddleboarding. The location puts campers within easy reach of Provo Canyon, Sundance, and the broader Utah Valley.
Campground options range from full-service private parks to a state-run lakefront campground. The RV campground at Utah Lake State Park consists of 31 sites, complete with water and power hookups, while Springville/Provo KOA Holiday, Lakeside RV Campground, Gladstan RV Park, and Provo River Resort round out the private options along the I-15 corridor and up toward Payson and Provo Canyon.
Most RV renters pick their site based on proximity to the lake, hookup level, and whether they want a resort-style park with a pool or a simpler campground close to fishing access.
Things to do near Lake Shore
The lake itself is the main draw. Utah Lake State Park offers fishing access for channel catfish, walleye, white bass, black bass, and several species of panfish, and with an average water temperature of 75 degrees, the lake provides an outlet for swimming, boating, and paddleboarding. Boat ramps at the state park handle everything from kayaks to power boats, and paddlers often launch near the mouth of the Provo River.
Off the water, Provo Canyon opens up quickly to the north. Nearby Provo Canyon offers Blue Ribbon fishing alongside tubing, hiking, horseback riding, cycling, mountain biking, and all the summer and winter activities on Sundance Mountain Resort. Bridal Veil Falls, the Provo River Parkway trail, and the Springville Art Museum are common stops when families want a break from camp.

The main camping window at the state park is spring through fall. Camping at Utah Lake State Park runs April 1 through October 31, with a 14-day stay limit. Private parks like Springville/Provo KOA Holiday and Lakeside RV Campground generally operate on longer seasons and can absorb shoulder-season traffic when the state park is closed or booked.
Summer brings hot, dry days and busy weekends. Utah Lake sits at roughly 4,500 feet, and in Provo, summers are hot, dry, and mostly clear while winters are freezing, snowy, and partly cloudy. Mosquitoes can be an issue near the lake in early summer, and afternoon thunderstorms occasionally roll off the Wasatch.
Spring and fall are the sweet spots for RV renters. Temperatures are mild, crowds are lighter, and fishing stays productive. Winter travel is possible at year-round private parks, but expect cold nights, potential snow, and the valley inversions common to the Wasatch Front.

How to book campgrounds near Lake Shore
Utah Lake State Park uses the Utah State Parks reservation system through ReserveAmerica. Individual campsites are available for reservation on a four-month rolling basis; for example, on January 10 individual sites are available for reservation through May 10, and you can book a maximum of 13 days beyond the last date of the reservation window. Campsite reservations are booked through Reserve America, and the Reservation Call Center can be reached at 800-322-3770.
Springville/Provo KOA Holiday takes reservations directly through the KOA website or app. Lakeside RV Campground, Gladstan RV Park, and Provo River Resort each handle bookings through their own websites or by phone. Summer weekends and holiday periods fill early, so lock in dates several weeks out when possible.
What to expect on-site
Expect paved or gravel pads, standard hookups, and easy big-rig access at the private parks, most of which offer pull-through sites, laundry facilities, and dump stations for larger RVs.
At the state park, sites are simpler but well set up for RVs. Utah Lake State Park has 31 RV trailer sites with a maximum RV length of 40 feet, and each campsite includes running water, 30-amp electricity, a fire pit with a barbecue grill, and a picnic table. Multiple campers mention significant insect activity, particularly large mosquitoes that emerge from the ground in swarms during warmer months. Bring insect repellent, sun protection, and drinking water for day trips, and plan to bring firewood and charcoal since each site is equipped with a fire pit and barbecue grill.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Lake Shore, UT
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Lake Shore, UT?
Good news: RV rental in Lake Shore is one of the more affordable ways to explore Utah Valley and the Wasatch Front. On RVezy, you'll typically see travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes ranging $175 to $275 per night, and larger Class A rigs from $250 to $400 per night, depending on season and amenities. To find a cheap RV rental in Lake Shore, book midweek, travel in the shoulder months of April, May, September, or October, and use the price-range filter. Pro tip: bundling delivery to Utah Lake State Park can actually save you fuel costs versus picking up and driving yourself.
stateparks.utah.gov/parks/utah-lake/What license do I need to rent an RV in Utah?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Lake Shore, UT. Utah does not require a Commercial Driver License (CDL) or special endorsement for any standard motorhome or trailer on the RVezy platform, including Class A, Class C, and fifth wheels. You'll need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking, so there's no extra paperwork at pickup. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home license. That's it, you're cleared to hit I-15 and start your Utah adventure.
dld.utah.gov/general-licensing-info/Is protection included with my Lake Shore RV rental?
Yes, every RV rental in Lake Shore booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from the moment you drive off. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV during your trip, giving you real peace of mind whether you are parked along Utah Lake or winding up Provo Canyon. During checkout you select your level of coverage (not the host), so you can pick what fits your comfort level and budget. It is not traditional auto insurance, but it is substantial financial protection designed specifically for RVezy renters. Most guests tell us this is the moment they relax and start planning the fun stuff.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Lake Shore RV booking?
You can book with confidence. RVezy sets a uniform cancellation policy (not the host), and your refund depends on how far in advance you cancel relative to your trip start date. Cancellation terms are not shown on individual listings because they are handled consistently by RVezy across every booking. If a host cancels on you, RVezy helps you rebook or issues a refund or credit. This matters in Utah, where summer fire restrictions or weather events can occasionally shift plans. Pro tip: book early to lock in your dates for Utah Lake State Park weekends, and review the full cancellation policy in the RVezy Help Center before you confirm.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Lake Shore RV trip?
Absolutely, plenty of hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Lake Shore. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see rigs that welcome your dog, and message the host if you want to confirm details like cleaning fees or breed preferences. Once you're set, Utah Lake State Park allows leashed pets in the campground and on the shoreline, and Provo's Bicentennial Park and the Provo River Parkway Trail are both fantastic for off-leash-friendly walks nearby. For longer hikes, the Bonneville Shoreline Trail above Provo offers shaded sections that are easier on paws in summer. Your pup is going to love this trip as much as you do.
stateparks.utah.gov/parks/utah-lake/Can the RV be delivered to my campsite near Lake Shore?
Yes, RV delivery in Lake Shore is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many local hosts will drive the RV directly to Utah Lake State Park, Lindon Marina's Lake Shore RV Park, Lincoln Beach, or even your driveway in Provo, Orem, or Spanish Fork. They'll level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Use the Delivery filter and enter your destination to see hosts who service your spot and their delivery fees (often a flat rate or per-mile charge). This is the easiest way to skip the stress of towing or maneuvering a big rig on I-15.
stateparks.utah.gov/parks/utah-lake/facilities/How far can I drive on a Lake Shore RV rental?
You've got real freedom to roam. Each host sets their own mileage policy, and many Lake Shore listings include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage (especially for trailers). Check the listing's mileage section, and if you're planning a bigger Utah road trip, message the host to negotiate a mileage package upfront. From Lake Shore you're roughly 45 miles to Salt Lake City, 100 miles to Park City, 230 miles to Moab and Arches National Park, 250 miles to Zion National Park, and 320 miles to Bryce Canyon, all very doable loops. Pro tip: lock in your mileage allowance before booking to keep your trip budget tight.
fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/travel_monitoring/tvt.cfmWhere can I camp with an RV near Lake Shore, UT?
You're surrounded by great options for RV camping in Lake Shore. Utah Lake State Park (4400 W Center St, Provo) has 31 Lakeshore Loop sites with water and electric, paved pull-throughs up to 47 feet, showers, and a dump station, just 8 miles north. Lake Shore RV Park at Lindon Marina offers 11 full-hookup sites right on the water. Lincoln Beach on the southeast shore is a quieter, rustic option closer to Lake Shore itself. For a mountain change of pace, Payson Lakes Campground on the Nebo Loop sits about 30 minutes south at 8,000 feet elevation. Pro tip: reserve Utah Lake State Park through ReserveAmerica on a four-month rolling window because lakeside sites book up fast.
stateparks.utah.gov/parks/utah-lake/When is the best time to take a Lake Shore RV trip?
Late April through mid-October is prime time for an RV rental Utah Valley adventure, with daytime highs running from the upper 60s in April to the low 90s in July and August, then cooling beautifully into the 70s and 60s through September and October. Utah Lake's average summer water temperature is around 75°F, perfect for paddleboarding and swimming. Shoulder seasons (May and September) are the sweet spot: fewer mosquitoes, smaller crowds, and lower nightly rates. Winter RVing is absolutely doable too, with ice fishing at the marina and skiing at Sundance just 30 minutes away. Just choose a host whose rig has a furnace and heated tanks for cold-weather comfort.
weather.gov/slc/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay?
You're going to do great. First time renting an RV is incredibly common in Lake Shore, and RVezy hosts make it easy. At pickup, your host gives a hands-on walkthrough of every system: the generator, slide-outs, water, propane, leveling, awning, and dump procedure. Many also send video tutorials in advance and stay reachable by message throughout your trip. If you're nervous about driving, start with a travel trailer parked at Utah Lake State Park via host delivery, or book a Class B campervan for nimble handling. The flat roads west of I-15 around Lake Shore are perfect for getting comfortable behind the wheel before any canyon driving.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/recreational-vehicle-safetyWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering flat tires, lockouts, dead batteries, towing, and mechanical breakdowns wherever you are in Utah. Your host is also your first call for quirks specific to their rig, and most respond quickly by message or phone. RVezy customer support is reachable before, during, and after your trip if you need help sorting anything out. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number and your host's contact in your phone before you leave Lake Shore so you are set even in spotty cell zones up Provo Canyon or in the Uintas.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Lake Shore RV rental to other states or across the border?
Absolutely, an RV road trip from Lake Shore opens up incredible options. Most hosts allow travel throughout the continental U.S., so popular routes include Arches and Canyonlands (about 4 hours southeast), Zion and Bryce Canyon (4 to 5 hours south), Grand Teton and Yellowstone (5 to 6 hours north), and Las Vegas (6 hours southwest). Travel to Canada may be allowed depending on the host and insurance, so just message them through the listing before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Pro tip: mention your planned route when you message a host, since many price longer trips with mileage included.
nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/index.htmWhat should I budget for fuel on a Lake Shore RV trip?
Easy math: most Class C motorhomes you'll rent in Lake Shore get 8 to 12 MPG, Class A rigs land around 6 to 10 MPG, and Class B campervans can hit 16 to 20 MPG. Towed travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle but typically pull 10 to 14 MPG combined. Utah gas prices generally run a bit below the national average, with regular unleaded recently hovering around $3.30 to $3.70 per gallon in Utah County. For a 3-night trip with 250 miles of driving in a Class C, plan roughly $90 to $130 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up at Costco in Orem or Maverik in Spanish Fork before heading out, both consistently the cheapest in the area.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Lake Shore?
Book early and you'll get the best spots. Utah Lake State Park opens reservations on a four-month rolling window through ReserveAmerica (utahstateparks.reserveamerica.com or 800-322-3770), and prime summer weekends in June, July, and August fill within hours of release. Lake Shore RV Park at Lindon Marina takes reservations by phone at 801-980-1104 and tends to book 2 to 3 months ahead for July weekends. Forest Service sites up the Nebo Loop and at Payson Lakes go live on recreation.gov six months out. Pro tip: if your dates are sold out, set a free alert on Campnab and pounce on cancellations, which happen daily at Utah Lake State Park.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/15100What are the driving conditions like around Lake Shore, UT?
You're in luck: the roads in and out of Lake Shore are RV-friendly. The area sits in flat, open Utah Valley right off I-15, with wide lanes and easy shoulders, perfect for getting comfortable in your motorhome rental. Watch for strong afternoon crosswinds along the lake (especially spring and fall) and avoid driving on canyon roads like US-189 through Provo Canyon during winter storms when chain laws can apply. Summer thunderstorms roll through fast in July and August, so check the National Weather Service Salt Lake City forecast before heading out. Pro tip: if you're nervous about I-15 traffic through Provo, time your departure before 7 a.m. or after 9 a.m. to skip rush hour.
udot.utah.gov/connect/public/road-weather-information/What amenities will I find at local campgrounds?
You'll be well taken care of. Utah Lake State Park's Lakeshore Loop offers water and electric hookups at every site (no full-hookup sewer), modern flush restrooms with hot showers, a dump station, fire rings, covered picnic tables, and a fish-cleaning station near the marina. Lake Shore RV Park at Lindon Marina has 11 full-hookup sites plus 17 partial-hookup sites, a laundromat, and showers. For potable water fills, both parks offer it on-site, and the Utah Lake State Park dump station is open to the public for a small fee. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a basic 30-amp surge protector, two items that make hookup setup at any campground near Lake Shore much smoother.
stateparks.utah.gov/parks/utah-lake/facilities/What should I expect inside my Lake Shore RV rental?
You're booking a home on wheels. Most motorhome rental Lake Shore listings come fully equipped: a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds (so a Class C typically sleeps 4 to 6), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with shower and toilet, roof AC, propane furnace, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and a generator for boondocking. WiFi varies, so plan to use your phone hotspot (Verizon and T-Mobile both have strong coverage around Utah Lake). Check the listing's amenity icons for specifics. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count to make sure your whole group has a seatbelt and a comfortable place to crash.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/recreational-vehicle-safetyWhat add-ons and pickup options can I expect when I rent an RV in Lake Shore?
Hosts make it easy to customize your trip. Common add-ons for a campervan rental Lake Shore or motorhome booking include linen and towel packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits, camp chairs and tables, generators, propane fills, bike racks, and even SUP boards, perfect for Utah Lake. Pickup is typically at the host's home in Provo, Spanish Fork, Springville, or Payson, with delivery available to Utah Lake State Park, Lindon Marina, or your home for a flat or per-mile fee. Mileage policies vary by listing, with many offering 100 free miles per night and overage charges around $0.35 to $0.50 per mile. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and pickup for the truly hands-off first-time experience.
rvezy.com/en-us/helpHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book your RV rental in Lake Shore, you pay through RVezy with a credit or debit card, and your money is held safely by RVezy, you never pay the host directly in cash. A refundable security deposit is placed as a separate hold on your card before pickup (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the rig) and is released after the trip once the host confirms the RV was returned in good shape. To avoid any issues, do a walkaround with your host at pickup and dropoff, take date-stamped photos, and follow the host's instructions on fuel and tank dumping. Pro tip: keep your dump-station and gas receipts as proof, since it speeds up deposit returns.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs winter RV camping possible around Lake Shore?
Yes, and it's a hidden gem. Lake Shore winters are crisp and dry, with January highs around 38°F and lows in the low 20s, plus mostly sunny days that make for gorgeous lake views and ice fishing right at Lindon Marina. Many RVezy hosts offer four-season rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and powerful furnaces, just filter listings and message the host to confirm winter readiness. Utah Lake State Park stays open year-round (6 a.m. to 8 p.m. November through March), and you're only 30 to 60 minutes from world-class skiing at Sundance, Brighton, Solitude, and Park City. Pro tip: book a site with electric hookup so you can run a small space heater alongside the furnace and keep propane use low.
