Natural Features and SceneryThe campground sits at 5,000 feet in a basin carved by ancient geology, where Pineview Reservoir meets wildflower meadows and stands of mature shade trees. The Wasatch Range surrounds the valley, slopes thick with conifers and aspens that turn brilliant gold in fall. Some sites have grassy areas and good shade. Others are more open and closer to roads. The reservoir reflects the peaks on calm mornings, and the transition from groomed meadow to forested mountainside happens quickly as you move inland from the water.
