Uinta Canyon

It’s a cheap beautiful little campground. We visit at least once a year and really enjoy our time here.

The campground was well taken care of and had we were really pleased with it. The bathrooms were a bit scarce, but overall we would stay there again.

My culinary school I recently graduated from decided to go here to set up temporary roasting pit and roast an entire pig. Yes you heard right. So this will be about both my adventure in the campground and the culinary fun we had up there. FYI Do not view all the pictures if you are a lil sensitive to raw meats and such. This canyon actually has multiple campgrounds but I think they all fall under the Uintah canyon campgrounds. Last year as you will see I stayed in the group site for a family reunion this year I experienced the individual site campgrounds. They are nicely spaced and at $5 a night it cant be beat. The campgrounds are mostly maintained by the people staying there and DNR checks up daily to make sure nobodys throwing trash around and being disruptive. All the sites are in the pines so plenty of shade. There is bathroom facilities. River is nearby so are several small ponds. You will see an abundance of wildlife from frogs to Moose and everything in between. If you are a geocacher this is a gold mine! This day we had a site big enough to accomadate a pretty large crowd. We were able to roast a smaller sized pig and we cooked 8 or more other dishes in the dutch ovens!. It was a fantastic time with SO MUCH food! We did carry out all trash and waste, even the pit itself :) FYI a funny tidbit when I was out hiking around a bit I came upon a sage hen it tried to attack me and I was running and screaming and it didnt back down and was really gaining ground. I picked up a stick as I ran, for protection, but instead i just turned and made myself all big holding the stick up and it stopped turned around and trotted all slowly back home. LOL It was a last resort to act all big and it worked. But just becareful during nesting season for sure! Those suckers are fast and a bit scary!
