Located in Mantua, UT, a small mountain valley in Cache National Forest on the Wasatchback of the Rocky Mountains of Utah. A ten minute walk to Mantua Reservoir for ice fishing in the winter, kayaking, boating, water skiing, fishing in Spring, Summer, & Fall. Pickleball courts and Sydney's Grill are a 10 minute walk away. Mountain biking, four wheeling, side-by-side adventure right outside your RV door to Willard Peak and the beautiful Northern Wasatchback. Use of my huge lawn (next to the field where you park) for lawn games (provided for a small fee), and my in-ground fire pit are available for your enjoyment. Friendly dogs are very welcome - my white Lab is always looking for new friends! 3 miles down Box Elder Canyon to two large grocery stores, Walmart, gas stations, restaurants, and gyms. One hour to skiing at Snow Basin (home of 2002 Olympic downhill), Powder Mountain to the south and Beaver Mountain to the north. World's largest game bird refuge and museum 10 minutes west down the canyon. Utah State University 30 minutes to the north and Weber State University 30 minutes to the south. Box Elder Creek is a 5 minute walk into Box Elder Campground, the poppy hill (2 weeks in June), and wonderful hiking opportunities. The valley was settled by Danish immigrants in 1862, and the property you will be on is owned by a descendent of the original settlers. See more info about Mantua in the link below.Located in Cache Natl Forest, 10 min off of I15 in Box Elder Canyon - a great spot to take a break from your travels or stay a few days to play and relax. Mountain wildlife share your space. Take your toys directly into the mountains to Willard Peak, or through Wasatch Back to Eden, beaver dams, wildflowers, mountain valleys on your way. 1/2 mile to reservoir; small beach/pier/boat dock. One adult and one child kayak available to rent, and lawn games for a small fee. 5 minute walk into BE Campground, where Box Elder Creek meanders through the trees. Next door on the adjacent property (my home and yard) a pergola with seating and electrical outlets is available for guests' use for a fee. Reservations with the host is required on a first come first served basis. You also have access to a large in-ground fire-pit and patio table on adjacent property where owners home sits for a small fee, and it can also be reserved on a first come first served basis for your group. Also, most Thursday evenings there will be a fire in the fire-pit that is free to all guests on the property. Come meet your hosts & camp neighbors! Check with host about creative possibilities to use the field and adjacent residential property for group camping reunions, weddings, celebrations of all kinds. Other amenities are available. Mantua is a sleepy little town of approximately 1400 people, and Rasmussen Ridge is located on the southwest edge. It is a beautiful walk, run, or bike ride around Mantua Reservoir (5miles), where you can sink a worm from the side, troll for fish on the lake, waterski, canoe, kayak, and sunbathe. Our little valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the nights are so dark you can see the Milky Way and the constellations.

Wonderful host met me out front, gave me a brief history of the property and pointed me to her suggested spots. Understand that you are essentially parking in a large back/side yard where you can see houses and is on a ridge above a back road. That being said this is a mostly level, mostly quiet and mostly private place to stay and had a lovely sunrise view. It was exactly what I needed to get off the road and having a welcoming host makes it all the better.

My wife and I needed a place to stay well driving from Colorado to Oregon and Kristine’s land was perfect to park our 20 foot trailer. There was plenty of space for us to choose a spot and it was quite beautiful… even though we didn’t get to enjoy it for too long. Kristine was an amazing communicator and we would highly recommend a stay at her property!

Beautiful and friendly

What a beautiful property. Lovely place to go especially with kids. Plus she was so friendly and helpful with anything you had questions on. We will be back again. My kids didn’t want to leave.

This was our second stay here!

This is such a great spot we’ve now stayed here twice. And we will be back again! Thanks Kristine for a beautiful place for us to camp and be so close to the bike race course. Your place is one of our favorite hip camps.
