Fun campground off the beaten path. Water and bathrooms provided. Lake is good for floating and fishing. ATV trails. 35 min drive to Bryce. Friendly campground hosts. Wood available for $7/bundle. Shaded campsite with plenty of room for tents.
Restrooms clean. Well maintained campgrounds. In walking distance of lake. Lake is nice but small. No motorized boats, kayaks/dingys ok. You get a fire ring and picnic bench. Bigger day use picnic area for large groups. Soo many stars at night. I caught a trout! Camp host sells firewood and is very knowledgeable of the area. Close to Bryce. Had a great time.
Camp host saved the day! Beware the 3miles of dirt/rock/gravel road to get into the campsites. We woke up to a flat on our last day and my spare was half deflated. Luckily for us, the host had a little air compressor and we were able to make it to the closest tire shop which was about 30min away.
We were the last ones to leave for the 2022 season and the only ones staying in the park the last night. We stayed five nights and none of the nights were busy so it was mostly always super quiet. The host seemed to keep the place super clean at all times. We didn’t use the bathrooms but upon a quick peak in they looked pristine as well. The wood bundles were among the largest we’ve seen in all of Utah for the same price of $8. Lake is close by with easy rainbow fishing. ATV trail close by.
People complain about the road in but it wasn’t terrible. Yes, a bit of washboard, but a sweet spot not too fast nor not too slow made it easy travels even towing a fifth wheel.
Great campground for groups. We have been having family reunions here for about 10 years or more. Great camp hosts who keep restrooms and camps clean. Close to Pine Lake for fishing, swimming and small boats or kayaking. Also lots of great atv trails.
We were lucky one weekend and barely anybody was at the campground. Lots of fun streams/creeks for kids to play in. 5 year old enjoyed frog hunting. They like to hang out at the banks of the lake and then jump in. Easy to miss if you don’t look closely. They also hang out under the bridge. We went mid August and the weather was perfect. Some sprinkling. Not super hot. Campsites are spacious. Great in comparison to the northern campsites that are sooooo crowded. Beautiful wildflowers and herb like smells around the lake to explore and enjoy. Fishing is a bit difficult in the shallow areas because of all the grass. Could be difficult from shore. Good fishing in the deeper area with a kayak. We trolled around with a lure and that’s how we got our fish. My 5 year old caught his biggest fish! The fire pits at the campsite are nice. The camp host was a bit of a stickler but that’s ok.
