Forks of Huntington 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 7,600 feet. Many recreational activities are available, including hiking, biking and fishing.
The Left Fork of the Huntington is a Blue Ribbon fishery, offering high quality fishing for brown, cutthroat and rainbow trout. The creek joins the main Huntington Creek just below the campground.
Popular activities enjoyed by visitors to the area include fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, rock climbing and scenic driving.
The 4-mile Left Fork of the Huntington National Recreation Trail begins in the campground. It is open to hikers and horseback riders. The 10-mile Fish Creek Trail, for hiking, biking and horseback riding, also begins nearby.
The campground offers two single-family campsites, as well as one large-group campsite that can accommodate up to 40 people. Vault toilets are located throughout the campground.
Garbage collection facilities are not provided, requiring visitors to carry out all trash. Roads and parking spurs within the campground are graveled.
Thick stands of pine trees within the campground offer plentiful shade, and the Left Fork of Huntington Creek runs through 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 also on display. Area information is available as well.
The campground is 16 miles west of Huntington, Utah, along Highway 31.
Beautiful peaceful area fir a picnic. Quiet secluded areas away from the road. Quite remote allowing escapes from the crowds. A little bit of time & distance from the city but the route there is beautiful by auto and especially motorcycle in the fall.
A little slice of peace and tranquility.
Gorgeous, quiet, secluded and right next to a stream. Practically perfect campground.
The only problem I've found The entry roads to the camp sites can be a little rough. Usually after a recent rainstorm. They maintain on quick, though. Never any trash I've seen on the ground. And the campsites are nice and open, and the trout fishing is good.
Great little spot above the heat. I was getting homesick for my Oregon trees and this place certainly revived me. Bit too much traffic but other than that it was great. Lots of fishing traffic. Some drove slow. Some didnt. Pretty place and we'll worth the visit if in the area.
