In Kamas, UT, at the intersection of State Rt. 32 (Main St.) and State Rt. 150 (Center St.), take Rt. 150 (Mirror Lake Scenic Byway) east 16 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign into campground.
Great campground. Sites are well spaced out, great fire pits. Bathrooms were clean. Camp hosts were super helpful and fun. Be prepared to bring your own water, but otherwise would love to come again.
Soapstone is a beautiful campground with private sites and a nice creek running through it. We stayed in site 32, which was right up against 150. Still had a great view. If possible, I would recommend staying on the side closer to the Provo River, but we still really enjoyed our site despite the road. If you are coming from the east, I would highly recommend NOT taking 37, as per Google's recommendations, unless you have a truck. Our little car struggled with 10+ miles of mountain and gravel. 150 was great in late June, and I would recommend going the 20 or so minutes out of the way simply for a better road. Highlight of our time at Soapstone was a moose walking right through our site upon packing up in the morning. So cool!
Beautiful campground. Sites are pretty far from each other so you don’t get much noise from the other campers. No water so bring your own. Nearby river to play in. Dogs allowed on leash.
The campground host, Brian, went above and beyond getting us out of a jam when something went wrong on our tent trailer. We were able to borrow his tools and expertise - he figured out what was wrong so we could get on our way. He was great!
The Uintas are beautiful, and this campground is a good one. The individual spots are fairly secluded, so that's nice. Bet on every spot being reserved, and don't expect to show up and get one of those spots. We were lucky, and did get a spot. The vault toilets are stink pots, so be prepared for that. They could use some hand sanitizer.
I'd camp here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
Lovely campground! I recommend campsites #6, #20, #30 if you’re hauling a trailer. They have good parking ability and nice shade throughout the day. This campground is not good if you plan on fishing however. We only found a small stream.
