Campgrounds near Timber Lakes, Utah
Timber Lakes sits in the Wasatch Back above Heber Valley, putting RV travelers within a short drive of national forest, state park, and full-service private campgrounds. The closest developed options cluster along U.S. 40 between Heber City and Strawberry Reservoir, and along the shoreline of Jordanelle Reservoir north of town.
Lodgepole Campground is set in Daniels Canyon south of Heber City at roughly 7,800 feet, with creekside sites under pine, fir, and aspen and easy access to Strawberry Reservoir for fishing and day trips. Mountain Valley RV Resort, just off U.S. 40 in Heber City, runs as a full-service private park with hookups, laundry, and amenities suited to big rigs and longer stays. River's Edge RV Park and Campground offers another Heber Valley base close to the Provo River. At Jordanelle State Park, Hailstone provides developed RV sites with water and electric hookups on the west shore of the reservoir, while McHenry is laid out for tents only, with restrooms and showers in each loop.
Things to do near Timber Lakes
Water recreation drives the season. Jordanelle Reservoir is the closest big lake, with a marina, boat ramps, a large wake-free zone good for paddling, and fishing for trout, smallmouth bass, and perch. The Provo River below Jordanelle is a blue-ribbon fly-fishing run. Strawberry Reservoir, reached via Daniels Canyon past Lodgepole Campground, draws anglers and boaters, and Daniels Creek near the campground is stocked with rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout. Land-based options include the Foreman Hollow Trail, a roughly four-mile loop that starts at Lodgepole with views of Strawberry Peak and Twin Peaks, the nonmotorized Perimeter Trail at Jordanelle for hiking and mountain biking, and the Heber Valley Railroad for families. Park City and Deer Valley sit roughly ten miles north for shopping, dining, and resort lifts.

Camping season runs late spring through fall, with most public campgrounds operating roughly May through October. Lodgepole Campground in Daniels Canyon is open seasonally and tied to snowpack at 7,800 feet. Jordanelle State Park stays open year-round, with the main reservable season running May 1 through October 31; from November into March, sites are available on a walk-up basis only. Peak demand at Hailstone and McHenry runs Memorial Day through Labor Day. Mountain Valley RV Resort is a private park in Heber City that can serve as a base for skiers heading to nearby resorts.
July and August bring warm, dry days and cool mountain nights, with afternoon thunderstorms common in the Wasatch. Wildflowers appear in the higher canyons in mid summer. September delivers aspen color through Daniels Canyon and around Jordanelle, with thinner crowds. Winter at Timber Lakes elevation means heavy snow, icy access roads, and seasonal closures at forest campgrounds. Spring shoulder weeks can swing between warm afternoons and overnight freezes, and high-country sites may stay snowbound into May.

Positive experience. Great RV. Excellent communication with host. Although the a/c and microwave did not work on the generator, the owner did his best to troubleshoot. Fortunately, we were able to hook up to electricity

We enjoyed this Van for a 3 night camp. It was super hot and thus the generator driven air conditioner was a life saver! It is fun and easy to drive. The instructional videos were very helpful and enabled us to use all of the features we needed. Pick up and drop off were easy. Sarah was great to work with, and was super responsive. We will rent this van again.

Super clean as advertised. Easy pick up and drop off. Quick communication. Comfortable ride for a fabulous National Park cruise !

How to book
Reservation systems differ by campground type. Jordanelle State Park sites, including Hailstone and McHenry, are booked through the Utah State Parks reservation system online or by calling the Reservation Call Center, with individual sites available on a four-month rolling window and group sites up to eleven months ahead. Cancellations made four or more days before arrival incur a fee. Lodgepole Campground in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest is operated by a concessionaire; individual sites generally run first-come, first-served, while group picnic shelters can be reserved in advance. Mountain Valley RV Resort and River's Edge RV Park and Campground are private and book directly through each park, with summer and holiday weekends often filling weeks ahead.
What to expect on arrival
Elevations around Timber Lakes range from roughly 5,600 feet in Heber Valley to over 7,800 feet in Daniels Canyon, so expect cooler nights than the Salt Lake basin and pack layers even in July. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in mid summer; secure awnings and check fire restrictions before lighting a campfire. Hookups vary widely: Mountain Valley RV Resort and Hailstone offer water and electric hookups, Lodgepole has potable water and flush toilets but no individual electric hookups, and McHenry is tent-only with no motorhomes, trailers, or fifth wheels allowed in the loops. Cell coverage is generally solid in Heber Valley and at Jordanelle, and weaker in the canyons. Stock food and water before leaving Heber City, and watch for wildlife on U.S. 40 at dawn and dusk.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Timber Lakes, UT
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Timber Lakes, UT?
RV rental in Timber Lakes, UT is approachable for one of Utah's most scenic mountain getaways. Motorhomes in the Heber Valley area typically range from about $175 to $275 per night, while travel trailers usually run $95 to $165 per night, and many hosts offer 10 to 20 percent discounts on weekly or monthly bookings. For a cheap RV rental Timber Lakes trip, book midweek in May or late September when nightly rates dip and Wasatch Mountain campgrounds have plenty of openings. Pro tip: filter by Delivery on RVezy so you can compare hosts who bring the RV straight to Jordanelle or Wasatch Mountain State Park, saving you a tow vehicle and any backcountry driving up the gated Timber Lakes roads.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Timber%20Lakes,%20UtahWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Timber Lakes, UT?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Timber Lakes, UT. Utah does not require a special RV license or a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for any motorhome or trailer you'll find on RVezy, from a nimble Class B campervan to a 35-foot Class C. You'll just need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID quickly through the platform during booking. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto association. Once that's sorted, you're cleared to roll out toward Deer Creek Reservoir or up into the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
dld.utah.gov/general-licensing-information/Is my RV rental near Timber Lakes protected if something happens on the trip?
Yes, every RV rental in Timber Lakes, UT booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you're covered from the moment you pull away. The protection plan helps cover physical damage to the RV, which means a stray rock on Highway 40 or a scrape backing into a Jordanelle campsite won't ruin your trip. You choose your coverage level during checkout, not the host, so you can pick the peace of mind that fits your trip. While it's not traditional auto insurance, it's a comprehensive safety net designed specifically for peer-to-peer rentals. Pair it with a careful walkaround at pickup, and you can focus on stargazing at 7,700 feet instead of worrying.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Timber Lakes RV rental?
Booking is low-risk because RVezy, not the individual host, sets the cancellation policy for every Timber Lakes, UT reservation. There's a money-back grace period right after booking, so if your plans shift soon after you confirm, you're protected. Cancellations closer to your trip date are evaluated based on timing and circumstances like severe winter storms over Daniels Summit, which can occasionally close roads in the Heber area. If something unexpected comes up, RVezy's support team is available to walk you through your options. The takeaway: you can book that early-summer Wasatch trip with confidence, knowing there's a clear, consistent policy behind you.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Timber Lakes?
Absolutely, plenty of hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental Timber Lakes travelers love, and you can find them in seconds by toggling the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy. Dogs are welcome on-leash at nearby Wasatch Mountain State Park, Jordanelle State Park, and on most trails in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest just east of Timber Lakes. Deer Creek State Park even has shoreline areas where pups can wade in summer. Message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and ask about RVs with easy-clean vinyl flooring, which is a lifesaver after a muddy hike near Lake Creek Canyon. Bring a tie-out, plenty of water for the 7,000-foot elevation, and you're set.
stateparks.utah.gov/resources/pets-in-parks/Can a host deliver the RV directly to my campsite near Timber Lakes?
Yes, RV delivery Timber Lakes is one of the smartest ways to start your trip, especially since Timber Lakes itself is a private gated community with steep mountain roads that aren't ideal for first-time RV drivers. Many Heber Valley hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome rental Timber Lakes directly at Jordanelle State Park's Hailstone Campground, Wasatch Mountain State Park's Mountain View Campground, or even a private cabin driveway in the Heber area. They'll level the rig, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. Delivery fees vary by distance and RV size, so message a few hosts to compare. It's the easiest way to skip the learning curve and start your trip already parked.
stateparks.utah.gov/parks/jordanelle/How far can I drive on a Timber Lakes RV trip, and what about mileage limits?
You've got serious range from Timber Lakes, and some hosts even offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage so you can roam freely. Most listings include 100 to 150 free miles per night, which is plenty for an RV road trip from Timber Lakes to Park City (about 20 miles), Sundance Resort (25 miles), Strawberry Reservoir (35 miles), or Salt Lake City (55 miles). Heading farther? Moab's red rock country is around 235 miles south, and Yellowstone's west entrance sits roughly 320 miles north. If you're planning a big loop, filter for unlimited-mileage listings or message a host to negotiate a custom package. Overage fees are typically $0.30 to $0.45 per mile, so a quick conversation up front saves money later.
udot.utah.gov/connect/public/road-conditions/Where are the best campgrounds near Timber Lakes for RV camping?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping Timber Lakes adventures. Jordanelle State Park's Hailstone Campground (about 10 miles northwest) offers 100-plus full-hookup sites right on the reservoir. Wasatch Mountain State Park in Midway has Mountain View Campground with 51 full-hookup sites that fit RVs up to 50 feet, plus Little Deer Creek Campground for smaller rigs. Strawberry Bay Campground, about 35 miles east in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, has 229 sites at 7,200 feet of elevation. Closer in, Mountain Valley RV Resort in Heber City has concrete pads, a saltwater pool, and 50-amp service. Pro tip: the Provo River runs near several of these parks, making them prime spots for blue-ribbon trout fishing.
stateparks.utah.gov/parks/jordanelle/camping-lodging/When is the best time of year for an RV trip to Timber Lakes?
Late June through mid-September is the sweet spot for an RV trip Timber Lakes travelers dream about. At 7,700 feet of elevation, daytime highs sit comfortably in the 70s and low 80s, with crisp 40 to 50 degree nights perfect for a campfire. July and August deliver wildflowers across the Wasatch backcountry and warm water at Deer Creek and Jordanelle reservoirs. Late September brings spectacular aspen color, especially along Mirror Lake Highway and through the Timber Lakes community itself. Snow often lingers on higher trails into early June and returns by mid-October, so shoulder-season trips need a heated RV. For the quietest campgrounds and best rates, target the first two weeks of June or the back half of September.
weather.gov/slc/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be able to handle it?
Yes, and first time renting an RV near Timber Lakes is easier than you'd expect. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through the generator, water system, slide-outs, leveling, and dump procedure, often with a printed cheat sheet. You can message your host with questions before booking, and RVezy support is available throughout your trip. The Heber Valley is also forgiving terrain to learn on, with wide US-40 lanes and big pull-through sites at Jordanelle. If you're nervous about the steep, gated roads inside Timber Lakes itself, just have your host deliver the RV to a campground instead. Most first-timers tell us they wish they'd booked sooner.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I break down or have an issue on the road?
You're never stranded. Every RVezy booking in the Timber Lakes area includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. The Heber Valley sits along the busy US-40 corridor, so help can typically reach you quickly whether you're at Strawberry Reservoir, near Daniels Summit, or up Mirror Lake Highway. Your host is also a phone call away for quirks specific to their rig, and RVezy's support team can coordinate behind the scenes. Save the roadside number in your phone before pulling away from pickup, and keep a paper map handy because cell service can drop in the Uintas. Then breathe easy and enjoy the drive.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Timber Lakes RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, most hosts welcome interstate road trips, which is great news because some of the best routes from Timber Lakes cross state lines. Popular RV road trip from Timber Lakes ideas include Yellowstone via Idaho (about 320 miles), Grand Teton National Park (about 285 miles), Jackson Hole, Wyoming (about 250 miles), and the Arizona side of Lake Powell (about 380 miles). Cross-border travel into Canada is allowed with many hosts, but you must confirm and get written approval through RVezy messaging before departure so insurance documentation is in order. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because coverage doesn't extend south of the border. Always share your route with the host so they know where their rig is heading.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat should I budget for fuel on a Timber Lakes RV trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable cost on any campervan rental Timber Lakes trip, so it pays to plan. Class C motorhomes around Heber typically get 8 to 10 miles per gallon, Class A rigs around 6 to 8 mpg, and Class B campervans 16 to 20 mpg. Travel trailers don't burn fuel themselves but drop your tow vehicle's mpg by roughly 30 percent. Utah gas prices generally run close to the national average, with the cheapest fill-ups in Heber City or Park City rather than at remote stations near Strawberry or in the Uintas. For a typical weekend loop of 200 miles in a Class C, budget roughly $90 to $120 in fuel. Top off before heading up Mirror Lake Highway, where stations are scarce.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Timber Lakes?
Book early, especially for summer weekends. Utah State Parks like Jordanelle and Wasatch Mountain release reservations up to four months in advance through the Utah State Parks reservation system, and prime July and August sites at Hailstone Campground often sell out within hours of release. Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest campgrounds like Strawberry Bay, Soldier Creek, and Currant Creek are bookable on Recreation.gov on a six-month rolling window. For private parks like Mountain Valley RV Resort, three to four weeks ahead is usually enough outside of holiday weekends. Pro tip: set a calendar alert for exactly four months before your target date and refresh the Utah State Parks site at 8 a.m. Mountain Time when new inventory drops.
stateparks.utah.gov/parks/jordanelle/camping-lodging/What are driving conditions like around Timber Lakes?
Driving in the Timber Lakes area is straightforward on the main highways but demands respect once you climb into the mountains. US-40 between Heber and Park City is a smooth, four-lane divided highway perfect for any RV. Inside the Timber Lakes gated community, however, roads are steep, narrow, and gravel in spots, and the community restricts winter access to four-wheel-drive vehicles with snow tires or chains. Summer thunderstorms can roll through Wasatch County most afternoons in July and August, so try to finish mountain driving by early afternoon. Watch for deer and moose at dawn and dusk along Lake Creek Road. If you're not confident on mountain grades, ask your host to deliver the RV to your campground instead.
udot.utah.gov/connect/public/road-conditions/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Timber Lakes?
Campground amenities in the Heber Valley range from full-service resorts to rustic forest sites. Jordanelle's Hailstone Campground and Wasatch Mountain State Park's Mountain View Campground offer full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50-amp electric), flush toilets, hot showers, and dump stations. National Forest campgrounds like Strawberry Bay and Currant Creek typically have potable water spigots, vault toilets, and a central dump station but no hookups at individual sites, so plan to rely on your RV's batteries and tanks. To fill fresh water or dump tanks between trips, the Maverik on Main Street in Heber City and Mountain Valley RV Resort both offer public dump services. Cell service is solid throughout the valley but spotty above 8,000 feet in the Uintas.
fs.usda.gov/recarea/uwcnf/recarea/?recid=9217What's inside a typical RV rental near Timber Lakes?
Most RVs available near Timber Lakes come fully equipped so you can roll up to camp and start cooking dinner. Expect a queen or king bed, convertible dinette, full kitchen with propane stove, fridge, microwave, and sink, plus a wet bath with toilet and shower. Class A and Class C motorhomes usually sleep six to eight, while Class B campervans sleep two to four. Most include a roof-mounted air conditioner (key for summer days at lower elevations), a furnace for cool Timber Lakes nights, a generator or solar setup, a TV, and seatbelts for every traveling passenger. Many hosts also stock kitchenware, linens, and outdoor chairs. Check the listing's amenities list, and message the host to confirm anything specific like Wi-Fi or a backup camera.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rv-safetyWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts near Timber Lakes offer a great menu of add-ons that make your trip easier. Common extras include linen and kitchen packages ($30 to $75), generator hours beyond the daily allowance ($3 to $5/hour), bike racks, camping chairs, propane fire pits, and Starlink Wi-Fi kits for staying connected at remote sites like Strawberry Reservoir. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Heber City, Midway, or Park City, with delivery to local campgrounds available for an additional fee based on distance. Mileage policies vary, with most listings offering 100 to 150 free miles per night and some unlimited-mileage options for longer hauls. Review the listing's add-on section carefully and bundle what you need at booking, since it's often cheaper than adding extras later.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Timber%20Lakes,%20UtahHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and fully handled through RVezy, so you never hand cash or card details to the host. You'll pay the rental total securely at booking with a credit or debit card, and your trip is confirmed once the host accepts. A refundable security deposit is placed as a separate temporary hold on your card before the trip, typically ranging from $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV's value. As long as you return the RV in the same condition with the agreed fuel and tank levels, the hold is released after your trip. To avoid issues, take date-stamped photos at pickup and dropoff, follow the host's dump and refuel instructions, and message through RVezy if anything unexpected comes up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Timber Lakes during winter?
Yes, winter RV rentals near Timber Lakes are absolutely an option and unlock a magical side of the Wasatch. Many Heber Valley hosts offer four-season rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and propane furnaces built for nights that can dip well below freezing. Park at a winterized site like Mountain Valley RV Resort in Heber City and use the RV as your basecamp for skiing at Deer Valley, Park City Mountain, or Sundance, all within roughly 30 minutes. Pack a heated water hose, skirt the rig if you're staying put for several days, and ask your host about shore-power requirements. It's one of the most underrated ways to experience Utah's powder season.
