In Ephraim, UT, at intersection of US Rt. 89 (Main St.) and 400 South, take 400 South east 0.4 miles to 300 East. Turn right onto 300 east and go 7.7 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign and go 0.4 miles to campground.
A beautiful campground near the top of Ephraim Canyon. There are about 10 sites, each with grill stands and picnic tables. There is water available, and an impressively clean pit toilet. The campground is adjacent to the a small, idyllic lake (reservoir) which is good for fishing, swimming, boating. In summer the campground was full of lush grass and flowers. There are many stunning hiking trails nearby, as well as trails for horses and ohvs. In summer it's hot and dry- 80s-90s- during the day, and cool (50s-70s) ar night. I thought this was a dream spot!
Such a beautiful place to camp! We were at group site #1 at the very tippy top. Which meant there was only one way out to get down the mountain. So you can imagine our slight alarm when we smelled fire smoke during a complete statewide fire ban. It meant that our neighboring campers were breaking the rules or that we had a wildfire in the vicinity that we could not see to know which direction it would be coming from. We started evacuating just in case, while a few of us checked out the neighbors. Sure enough they had a huge bonfire going and were joking about doing fireworks that would turn their fire blue. The fire rangers came and put their fire out. About 30 minutes later, we smelled campfire again. Another group was breaking the rules too. We had prepared in advance by reading the rules and purchasing a portable propane fire pit (which was the only fire allowed). Other than that scare, our time here was so nice. It helped to have running water! There was a shared outhouse (no water there), and plenty of picnic table space. The wind kicked up one day but overall it was very nice. Big trees for hammocks or hanging chairs. Lots of squirrels, birds, and butterflies!
Great camping! Tall Pine and Aspen trees. We stayed at group site 2# only $35 to reserve and only $15 if you show up and it is available. Great fishing pond, walking, hiking, available razor riding trails and more. Our site was very close to the pond, so lots for the kids to do. Oh, and plenty of shade. Only downside was single stall outhouse, however it was clean! Potable drinking water too.
Beautiful campsites. Enough room that you don't see each other. Each site has a small clearing surrounded by Aspen and Birch.
Most nights there was loud partying college students blasting music and reving through the roads. Probably due to its close proximity to Snow college. But beautiful campground! Lovely lil lake. Was affordable too:)
