Clyde Creek Dispersed Camping

This was a fantastic weekend week we arrived on Thursday and left on Sunday. We were only a couple mins away from the water. No bugs no nothing it was a fantastic weekend. The only thing that was not good was there was no cell service like the review said. My daughter and her friend paint the rocks around the campfire I cannot say enough good things about this area. Maybe another negative is there’s no shade but we used our canopy and everything worked perfect.

We stayed here October 2020. Area was quiet and there were many spots that would fit several rigs in one site. Road was in decent condition heading in and some spots were fairly level while others were on a decent slope. We stayed at a spot close to Clyde creek and were able to hike down the hillside to the creek. Cell service for T-Mobile was decent although intermittent. There was some garbage in a few of the sites and a bunch of downed trees. That combined with the immense amount of sand and dust everywhere would prevent me from staying here again.

Many, many trailers and RVs here, went on a Monday and it was packed, a lot of people cleared out on Tuesday morning. There were a lot of hunters, OHV vehicles (even at 6am) and a few gunshots went off very close by to us around 9am. We got a site a ways up the road, they are very large so it’s good for groups or multiple people pulling in together. It was very dusty at our site, likely due to heavy use, but it served us well for the night. Bumpy road, but many skilled trailer and rv drivers made it up/down!

Numerous options for dispersed camping most in large open fields that would fit a number of RVs or trailers. Biggest drawback for us was that the fields were mostly a steep incline (requiring a delicate balance of additional materials to get level). Also, even on a quiet Wednesday late in the season, the area was packed with off road vehicles, which is not really our scene. If it is your scene, this would be a great place for staging with 30 of your closest friends (which seemed to be how this is used!).

Clyde Creek is about 5 miles up a dirt and graveled road about 1 mile south of US 40 on Strawberry Rd, at Strawberry Reservoir. The nearest town is Heber City 21.8 miles. The road is maintained by the forest service and is subject to closure when it becomes too wet.

This is a fantastic FREE camp site. It was very well kept and clean. There is quite a bit of shade because of the tree line the campsites are backed up to. The view is amazing. There is a nice little trail you can follow into the woods.

Area activities: OHV, fishing, hiking, and hunting.
