Bridges Campground is located in beautiful Huntington Canyon, along the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway on Utah Highway 31. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 8,700 feet. Many recreational activities are available, including hiking, biking, scenic driving, and fishing.
Popular activities include fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, rock climbing and scenic driving. Huntington Creek is a Blue Ribbon fishery, offering high quality fishing for brown, cutthroat and rainbow trout.
The 4-mile Left Fork of the Huntington National Recreation Trail is nearby and open to hikers and horseback riders. The 10-mile Fish Creek Trail, for hiking, biking and horseback riding is also close by. Although horses are not allowed in the campground, two hitching racks are provided just across the highway.
The campground offers one group campsite that can accommodate groups of up to 30 people. Four single-family campsites are also available. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no drinking water or electricity. There are no garbage services offered within the campground, so be prepared to "pack it in and pack it out". Roads and parking spurs are dirt.
Large spruce trees and aspens cover the campground, offering plentiful shade. Huntington Creek runs alongside the campground. The canyon area has numerous lakes and streams, vibrant summer wildflowers, colorful fall foliage and abundant wildlife.
The Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway is part of the 86-mile Energy Loop. It offers stunning mountain and lake views as it tops 10,000 feet in elevation.
The historic Stuart Guard Station Visitor Center is nearby, offering a glimpse of the 1930s life of a ranger and his family who once lived there. Exhibits of Civilian Conservation Corps projects and original equipment are on display. Area information is available as well.
From Huntington, Utah, travel north on Utah Highway 31 for 23 miles, to the campground. It is on the west side of Highway 31, at the mouth of Day Canyon.
Great place for a get away. Cool weather in the summer, close to a stream, lots of firewood, lots of wildlife.
Nice spot to camp for the night. We stayed on the North side highway the road next to the river, it was great!
Very beautiful, very rustic. No water, only one pit toilet with a lot of bugs (there is water across the street at Old Folks Campground). For me and my family it was awesome but be careful of your expectations. It was a bit difficult navigating our trailer into Main A group camp (34 feet including tounge and bumper) but we did it. You must go to the top of the mountain for the lakes and views, breathtaking!!!!
