More Information!

Robert has reserved the campground NUNs Park in the Provo Canyon (Picnic Group Area 1) for Friday night's dinner. The campgrounds are only available first come first serve so he will have to set up tents on a few of the camp sites the night before. He will need to know who plans to camp.

It will be $15 per night for camping fees per family- ( including $5.00 per family for the Group use area- reserved separately@ $40 per evening or morning) Complete cost for those getting a hotel to come soon.
We will only need the Group area two times (Friday night for dinner/campfire and maybe Saturday Morning for Breakfast) after the hot Air Balloon festival.
The Provo sponsored pancake 8AM breakfast may not be the best timing for everyone

An alternative:
Possible Hotels: (more to come)
La Quinta Inn off of 800 North (near the freeway) - they have several rooms available.
La Quinta Inn Orem - 1100West 780 North, Orem - (801) 235-9555

The Provo river bike trail runs through the campground and goes to Bridal Veil Falls. A great scenic ride, walk, etc.

A great Friday morning activity , if you plan to arrive early, would be to see the new Church motion-picture at the Joseph Memorial building across from Temple Square - the show is free every hour and a half.
In order to be back in Provo to set up camp and float the river you would need to leave SLC by 1pm. More details about this to come.
There is also a Community Swimming pool
And Utah Lake - Robert has a boat and wouldn't mind taking people out, but it would have to be Satuday afternoon and would be a several hour event.

  1. Is there a date that Robert needs to know by if we are going to camp?

  2. They are first come first serve, so it isn't urgent, I would say giving him 2 weeks would be sufficient. Then he can make sure he has the right amount of tents to reserve the spots. I gave May 1st as the deadline for money for the campground and food. But a month before might be fine.
