I camped there in a tent. OMG scorpion city at night. Literally crawling all over at night. They woke us up. Yes. Scorpions that scratch the tent to get in. Big one. 😮
@@seemycampsite I’m not scared of anything. But god dam. A scorpion scratching and you can see the shadow from the moonlight. It was terrorizing. I’ll never camp there again. I’ have camped many places near by
I stayed at the upper campground last year and loved it--- very quiet up there and it was an easy walk over to the water / boat area. I am wondering about the new campground. Does is have closer beach access? -- I want to walk with a paddle board to the water. Though I can see all of the ATV tracks over there so it may be just too noisy for me. Thoughts guys?
Lakeview Campground does indeed have some sites that are close to the reservoir (see Site 8 for an example), although there can be some brush/vegetation that you might have to push through to get there. As Lakeview is close to Sandpit (where you will find a lot of ATVs), you could experience some noise depending on how busy things are that day (and what events might be occurring close by near Sand Mountain).
Great suggestion, friend. We will likely make a breakout video about the activities themselves in the future. There's sooooo much to do at these parks that our biggest challenge is keeping the videos at a digestible length 🤣
We lived there. The only problem with that state park is that it had so many out-of-state people that it was virtually impossible for the locals to do anything. Videos like this don’t help.
That's awesome you lived near there. As Utah natives, we totally understand that perspective but also know the pain points of all people (locals included) not knowing campground dimensions and much about what is in their own backyards regarding recreational opportunities. Hence the reason we make videos like this. People are going to find Sand Hollow and these other parks, regardless. Social media has changed the world that way. We are trying to do our part to ensure that all people (locals and out-of-state'rs) have solid information before they travel so they don't add to the chaos.
Welcome to the NEW & IMPROVED Sand Hollow State Park. The camping areas were modified and a third campground was added. We'll show that in this video.
Just the video I was looking for! Does anyone know the ideal time to go in regard to weather?

For reals? That's wiiiiild. We knew scorpions are in the area but had not ever heard that feedback or experienced it ourselves. Thanks for chiming in.

WOW... good reason to be in an RV or Trailer. YIKES!

You didn’t show the dry camping area
You’re right! We showed a little bit from our drone footage but we didn’t get into the details-we’ll try to remedy that in our next updated video.
Can you do something on the activities more in depth? I have young atv riders. Is there beginner areas?

Awesome
Thanks!
