Dry Wash Reservoir #2

Water levels at Dry Wash Reservoir vary considerably from year to year, and that variability shapes the experience more than almost anything else here. In wet years, the reservoir fills enough for kayaking and swimming, with campers spreading across sites along the south and east sides of the water's edge. In dry years, reviewers report the reservoir shrinks to a fraction of its size, with thick clay mud and degraded water quality that makes fishing difficult. The campground is free, allows pets and campfires, and sits within Manti-La Sal National Forest alongside campgrounds near Manti-La Sal National Forest. Check recent conditions before making the drive, especially if fishing is the primary reason for the trip.
