Soapstone Campground

Soapstone is a great campground which I'd give a 5 star if it had water. Perhaps the US Forest service will get funding to fix the line someday. We love how close it is to the Provo River allowing fun activities each day by the river. Playing in the water and eating wild raspberries. It sits halfway between Kamas and Bald Mountain near the pass. Not too bad if you need to drive to other hikes and activities.

Hated our camping spot, but overall the campground was okay. Bathrooms were terribly dirty and had a very pungent urine smell. Camp hosts never came by for 3 days on a busy weekend. No water or fire wood available. Also, our camp spot was angled terribly for the one way road it was on. Took a long time to get it in the right spot and we ended up going the opposite direction when we pulled out. I think the road needs to be a one way in the opposite direction. We were able to access the Provo river, no clear cut path- but caught some little brook and cutthroat on fly.

Loop B has lots of sites that are related from other sites. Loop A has sites with direct river access. A quiet, pretty campground. The description says there is no garbage service, but there were several bear-proof dumpsters. Conveniently located near Lost Lake with day access for kayaking and paddle boarding.

So many nice sites! Plenty of room for larger rigs. Easy to get level. Most are well shaded and private. Soapstone is on our list of favorites!

This was a great camp site! We staying in site 17 and it was fairly large with a fire pit and picnic bench. The river was close too! The campgrounds were kept up and the bathroom was clean. We would stay here again!
