This is hilarious!! I live 5 min from this park. Have lived in the valley my whole life and no one uses Utah Lake like this! Haha Very little of this footage is taken at Utah Lake. Utah lake is dirty, full of bugs, and was polluted in for years from Geneva Steel. I have seen dead animals dumped in the lake. This is a great example of how disconnected social media can be from real life. 😂
It may be time to visit the park again, good sir :) The vast majority of the footage is from the park. We have a few clips scattered throughout that we use as b-roll, which are stock footage clips. We often can't film every single scene at the parks due to various factors, so we supplement with stock footage that showcases certain activities, but that doesn't take away from what people do at the park itself (i.e. boating, fishing, biking on the paths, etc.). However, all of the campsite footage and most other clips are from the park itself. 👍🏻
RV sites are taking over, with all their loud generators and bright lights and partiers....even during "quiet hours!" It's hard to find quiet, private tent sites anywhere these days. Even here, there are very few tent-only sites compared to the RV sites.
Okay, I went to this State Park. I was a little nervous because it is so remote. Literally only one person I talked to had even heard of it. But, let me tell you, it is my favorite. The beach front spots have electric and water. The dump station is easy to use and get to. The protected picnic table area is a great place to put the paddleboards etc when the afternoon wind picks up. The little store across the street has free internet so you can check emails and make calls from there. (After hours, you can still do it from the picnic table outside the door). I stayed in spot OC001, frankly because it was what was available on that side. I think it is the best spot. On one side is just for day use. So you really only have neighbors on one side.
This is a super fun park. I stayed at the new campground in the back in site. Dunes are great. See if you can find Sasquatch!! No cell coverage but go over to the entrance building for limited internet.
It's a great park! How'd you guys manage to get permission to film over the campgrounds? The rangers are telling me we can only fly out drone over the areas where people aren't located. Was there someone specific you had to get permission with in order to fly over the campgrounds? Thanks in advance.
We’ve been working with the State of Utah to purchase/obtain special use permits to allow us to film the campgrounds with our drones in the state parks. We also try to film whenever we can in the offseason (to avoid crowds).
@@RoadtrippinwithTakacs, Your best bet is probably to go through the state park manager for each location you visit. That's where we first had some success.
A quick note that the reservoir water level in this video is lower than usual (we try to film campgrounds in the offseason to show as many empty campsites as possible... but as a result of it being later in the year, the reservoir was not as full because they typically drain it at the end of the season for local farmers).
Thanks for the comment! We’ll see if we can remedy that in a future video (we plan on releasing updated videos each year to ensure that campers have the most up-to-date information).
I love Lilly Lake Campground. We camped there every summer when I was a kid. You mention Lilly Lake, but it’s right next to Teapot Lake, too, which is a much bigger lake, and the lake people really camp there for.
Adam, this is one of the best campground reviews I’ve ever seen. I occasionally do reviews of CGs on my channel and I know how time consuming it can be, but the fact that you did aerials AND included measurements of each site was going above and beyond! Well done! 👍
Great video! Thanks! Maybe I missed it but how is the internet by chance? We are going soon but I have to work and I’m worried about reception. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment, and apologies for the delayed response! While we were filming, we had good coverage with Verizon... and AT&T as well as T-Mobile both show good service on their maps. Quail Creek is located near the town of Hurricane (the locals pronounce the town name 'Hurri-cun', just as a heads up), so if for some reason you're getting bad service, you're just a 5-10 minute drive away from the town to get back online.
Apologies for the delayed response! Huber Grove Trail, Spring Pond Loop, and Mid-Mountain Loop are all relatively close to this state park... a couple of these trailheads I believe are right near the Visitor Center. Here is a link that shares a bit more detail: stateparks.utah.gov/2015/06/25/top-three-hikes-at-wasatch-mountain-state-park/
That's a great question; we're not entirely sure on flatbed trailers, but we have seen trucks with integrated campers there. It might be worth calling the main office to double-check: 435-680-0715
Hi Matt, We love watching your videos. I know you mentioned that Washington Lake and Trial Lake campgrounds were in process of being made. Any idea of a release date? We are anxious to see them, Thanks so very much.😀
Thanks for the comment, Colleen! We’re glad the videos are helpful to you. We have filmed a lot of the campgrounds around Mirror Lake Highway and we’ll see if we can prioritize those two for you (they should hopefully be out within the next 30 days or so, depending on how fast our editors can move through the finalization process). Thanks!
We've seen kayaks and other related watercraft on the Great Salt Lake (both at Antelope Island State Park as well as Great Salt Lake State Park); I would avoid doing so in the summer months, as the insects are pretty strong during that period.
Nice videos! May give a suggestion? Why not do it bilingual for those folks that only speak Spanish? Id be more than happy to help i am fluent in castellano. Just a suggestion 😊
Okay this is crazy. I just sent an out of state gal over to your site so she can learn about this state park. (I am at the park right now). Within an hour, I get this notification
I stayed across from Provo right on the west shore of Utah Lake for 7 weeks (late September to early November) a few years ago. Not one water craft, kayak or people on that lake the whole time. The view from the west shore is beautiful but be careful and check the State park website for the current water reports of the lake.
First time viewing. I really like how you provide views of each campsite. That will defiantly help when trying to book something that works for our family. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching and leaving that comment. It's always good to know that our content is resonating with people :) If you ever have suggestions for us, holler and we'll seek to implement what we can. Hope you get to check out some other vids on our channel too!
Great place!! I stayed in the new park because I like electricity. The sites in the new park are very large. The bathrooms are nice and the dump station is easy. Don't forget to look for sasquatch!! P.s. we had no cell coverage but had basic internet at the entry booth so we could check on things there.
