Dutch John Resort At Flaming Gorge

"Really was not sure how to rate this one, our cabin was nice but the smoke detector was lying on the kitchen counter not in the ceiling of the bedroom where it should have been, the bathroom sink would barely drained even after their maintenance person came to fix it, other than that the cabin was good. As for the resort, part of the reason we chose Dutch John Resort was for the activities listed, such as the basketball, volleyball and gym to name a few but the basketball court had no backboards and thus no baskets, the volleyball court had weeds about knee high and the gym was dirty and some of the machines did not work. The employees in the office were very nice but did not have any answers about the condition of the questions I had on the activity portion of the resort. Would I go back, probably not unless things improve."

"We had trouble with our trailer on the the highway, Dutch John staff pulled over to help us. Within minutes we had a tow truck, friendly service and great hospitality from the resort where we ended up spending the evening. A great little gem in the corner of Utah, with all the amenities you need. Thanks again for rescuing us!"

"Skip the Ice Cream! We had been told that the shakes and hard ice cream were amazing so we made the trip to the resort. Menu board shows an Oreo shake for $6 but we were charged $9 because they were out of vanilla soft serve. Hard ice cream shake should have been delicious but when served, it was the consistency of warm milk with powdery Oreos crushed in it. It was inedible and very disappointing"

"My 24 year old son was visiting flaming gorge and and had some mechanical problems with his car . The front tire lug nuts came loose and the tire fell off. He was able to put it back on but the lug nuts were partially stripped so needed to be replaced before coming back to Provo where he lives. He was able to drive to this resort and they said they could replace the 5 lug nuts. They said they would have to drive to vernal and get the parts from an auto zone which was a little under an hour away. They then said they would charge him $400 for this repair. It took 20 minutes to fix the car once the parts arrived. I really think they took advantage of my son that was in a hard spot. I don’t mind paying for service , but feel this place is a rip-off . Don’t have mechanical problems at this place"

"The resort has a lot of potential. We stayed in spots 43/44. Great things are the water pressure, size of pull through spot, close dumpster for trash. They have also planted nice pines for privacy between the spots. BEST thing was the very friendly staff at the desk/gas/fishing supply. Things that could improve and reason I gave a 3/5 rating. No wifi available as advertised where we were located. (We did go to desk and inquire if we were doing something wrong. Nope- no access in the back.) The area was not kept up well. Very high weeds(ticks) between the lots and lots of mud when it rains. Which means lots of cleaning. Especially when you have pets. Our jeep actually got stuck in the ruts. This could be solved by adding rocks. There is also some sort of storage/junk yard located in the camp. It does have a fence. But unsightly. As I mentioned this business has a lot of potential. But we will not stay here again. There are other campsites in the area with amenities that we find necessary."
