Provo Canyon Camping

See the little racoons eyes in the dark?

This past week we spent 5 days in Provo Canyon at Nunn's Park. It is really close (just before you get to Bridal Veil Falls.) It's right by the Provo River.Although it is not as private as campgrounds in more rustic areas, it was really nice. Somebody stole our original camping spot so we had to take another which was not quite as nice, but it was really close to the restrooms. That made it nice for those who visited us there. We had John and Kathy there for the full 5 days as they were off work for vacation. Tammy and Charlie and Savannah visited as well as Contessa and Lorin. We had a BBQ with chef Randy as the hot dog and hamburger chef. We had a wonderful time.

There are lots of biking and hiking trails there and lots of skateboarders so you have to watch out for them. This would be a good place for a family reunion. But the campsites cannot be reserved. They are first come, first served. You can however, reserve the pavillions there. It's a good place for kids since there is lots to do and the ice cream truck even comes by. It's a county park and is only $10 a night to camp there.

At night when we roasted marshmallows, we had a visitor. A cute little racoon. He just loved marshmallows and potato chips. He didn't like the Cheerios we gave him. I guess he is a junk food racoon. I have photos of him in this blog and all you see is his eyes shining in the dark. We also had a bird that dived in the river and a squirrel and a little black otter. We saw lots of people riding kayaks down the river. You can rent kayaks and rafts for that activity as well. It was a great time.
