Painted rocks seemed like a decent stop for an overnight with water and power. I thought the $45 campsite fee was a little high, but found out that you also have to pay a $15 day use fee which makes the campground $60 a night!

Painted rocks seemed like a decent stop for an overnight with water and power. I thought the $45 campsite fee was a little high, but found out that you also have to pay a $15 day use fee which makes the campground $60 a night! I almost left, but we had already backed in and hooked up before I sat down to use the online payment option. The lake was very low when we were there mid week in late September. I’m sure we could have had full hookups at a private park for less $$. It’s a shame that the price is so high, we were literally the only campers in the entire park. Utah should reevaluate the prices and at least include the use fee in the campsite fee. I’m sure they would get a higher return with lower prices.
The facilities are nice and the park is very clean, Ramada’s at every site, water and power at most sites and a dump near the entrance.

The Painted Rocks Campground is interesting as it has cows (you heard me right) that come up through the campground and they also take over the beach area. That was a first for us - seeing cows roam through the park! Luckily site 9 is overlooking the lake and they didn’t come near us, but we noticed several cow pies in campsites in the lower loop - so beware. We loved the view we had from Site 9, I would say it is one of the best in the entire park. We were on a level asphalt pad and there was a cement pad for picnic table, grill, and gazebo. This park is Water/Electric and has a good dump station to use when you leave. There were 6 usable OTA channels and we had 3 bars LTE with 20+ down and 5 up. It worked well for streaming. This campground fills up on the weekends, but is wide open during the week. We were there after the Memorial Day weekend and we literally had the entire campground to ourselves for 3 days! Not much to do but relax :)

Campsites are nice. Ours was a long pull through with electric and water. There was a nice gazebo over the picnic table. Site was not level but we were able to get level easily enough. Sites have a nice view of the lake, but they're not on the lake. It's a walk to get down there, and a little steep. We managed to find some trails to hike on, but it was very windy when we were there. Water is very low, unfortunately. Never saw the campground host, and although we arrived a little after 3pm the guard station was empty with our ticket taped on the guard station window for us to grab. With so many beautiful campgrounds around, I probably won't camp here again.

The reservation system is a little strange but there are some sites available without reservations before Thursday. Water and electric provided, dump site easy to access, nice and accommodating hosts. Each site has a covered metal picnic table on a cement slab. Very little shade, some sites have a view of the 'lake' [very low water level]. Did not use the rest rooms. The campground was mostly empty Mon through Wed but by Thurs night it was full, mostly reserved. And became a little noisier as a result but it's a park where your'e not jammed in tightly but sites are staggered and on several levels so you have a roomy feel.

This place is decent for boaters but terrible for dogs! There are cockleburs everywhere (especially close to the water) and the campground and campsites are filled with foxtails and buttercup burs.
Conveniently close to the Salt Lake area, but we won't be back.

This is the second time we've been here and both times have been pre-peak-season (before memorial day). The campground is not run down but it's not new my any means. I like that the sites are not right next to each other and there is plenty of room to stretch your legs. One thing that gives this campground an edge over other campgrounds is that most of the sites are very long. If you bring a toy-hauler or an extra vehicle, most spots have a ton of space for it.
There is a free dump station on-site which is very nice and I think all sites are 50/30/20 AMP hookups. Water was turned off during our second stay due to a water pump issue so that may have led to why the pit toilets were not as clean as they could be.
Overall this is a spot that I'd come back to so I could play in the water or ride around on ATV's. We don't mind the sound of ATV/UTV/Motorcycles so it didn't bother us. It did get VERY windy while we were there. Some campers next to us ended up tossing their tent in the trash because the wind destroyed it.
Here is a 360 video of the whole campground (google street view style) where I go over many points of the campground including a speedtest:

No one here on a weekday, a bit off the beaten path. Nice campsites, open with few trees.
Had water and electric hookups.
The most bizarre thing was a “tire ripper” guard if you go the wrong way around the (unstaffed) guard station. Crazy and irresponsible for a poorly lit, rural location. See photo

Stayed for a week in early/mid September. Other than the technically off-duty host and the occasional overnighter, we've had the place to ourselves. We felt completely safe here. It's a very quiet and peaceful location. It gets fairly windy every day, starting from the east and swinging around west. The lake is nothing but some meandering streams and there are cows grazing in the lakebed, but it offers a unique beauty. It's super dark at night and the Milky Way is already visible in twilight. Groceries are available about 15 minutes to the south and 20 minutes to the north. Sites have 30/50 and water but only the host site has sewer. Dump station is functional and convenient. Sites 7, 8 and 9 are doubles that cost twice as much, which is not readily apparent until you open the envelope box to pay. I would say 12 (pull-thru) has one of the best views.

Really like this place. There is only one other camper here, so very quiet and calm. Beautiful view of water with lots of birds.
Only negative is the extra $12/night for a second vehicle.
