Little Bear Group Campground is located in beautiful Huntington Canyon along the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway on Utah Highway 31. It sits at an elevation of approximately 6,500 feet. Many recreational activities are available, including hiking, biking 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 near the campground.
Little Bear Group Campground is made up of two large-group campsites, for tent and RV camping. To reserve the entire campground, both sites (A and B) must be reserved at the same time. Each site can accommodate up to 50 people and 15 vehicles. Adjacent parking areas are dirt.
The campsites are equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets are provided. Utility hookups are not available. Drinking water and trash collection facilities are not available at the campground. Visitors should bring their own water and pack out all garbage.
Pines and junipers offer plentiful shade and 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 also on display. Area information is available there as well.
The campground is located 13 miles west of Huntington, Utah, along Highway 31.
Nice camp, clean facilities, no fish in the river in 2016 due to a fish kill from forest fire runoff. The sandstone canyon across the road is a nice little hike. Although the camp's right off the road, the elevation difference makes it seem distant enough that it didn't bother us.
Great group site! The site is right in the middle of an amazing canyon with fantastic views. There are two loops at the site with one being a little bigger than the other to accommodate more people. We camped at Group Site B which had plenty of space and the loops are far enough apart to have privacy. The creek was awesome next to the site. There is a large fire pit area with benches and a large food prep table. No cell phone reception, which was welcomed for us, but if you need to make a connection you can drive 7 minutes towards Huntington and catch a signal. You could hear minimal road noise on the scenic highway but not bothersome with an elevation difference. Clean, well maintained campsite. Pack water, and pack out your trash! It was a great spot for a weekend getaway.
Nice, well kept group sites. Great layout with plenty of trees and ample open space.
Beautiful campsite with fire pit, 4 long benches, several tables, a cooking surface and a grill. Nestled in a canyon, the rapids are soothing while a bold cliff face overlooks the site. Can accommodate large meals. Traffic on 31 does not interfere with ambience too terribly. Superior site all around
A nice little campsite right off the road. There are two loops, each capable of accommodating at least 30 people. A loop is bigger. There is only one pit toilet, so if both loops are full, it might be busy. Beautiful scenery with Huntington creek running alongside the campground. Some highway noise, but it's not bothersome. Except the one day we were there, highway 6 was closed due to flooding and noise from traffic trying to get to price was horrendous.
