Fish Lake National Forest Campsite

Accessible via standard passenger vehicle when roads stay dry, this dispersed camping area in Fishlake National Forest provides multiple spots among juniper trees just minutes from Interstate 15. Campers can drive directly to sites scattered throughout the area, with several locations offering natural fire rings and access to fallen pine and juniper wood for campfires.

The area maintains quiet conditions despite highway proximity. Multiple reviewers note the lack of road noise, creating a contrast with the easy freeway access for travelers. Sites accommodate both tents and larger rigs, though some spots work better for smaller setups. Kristy B. found it "really quiet despite being so close to the interstate."

Campers should expect basic dispersed camping conditions with no hookups or facilities. Wildlife activity occurs in the area, and some sites may have scattered debris from previous visitors. The location functions well as an overnight stop for travelers, with easy navigation even after dark according to multiple accounts.

For different camping experiences, Fishlake NF Dispersed near Scipio — FR 093 sits less than a mile northwest with similar forest access.

Beautiful and secluded spot

We stayed there at the end of the season, in the middle of the week and had the campground to ourselves most of the time. Our spot had no hookups, but the view made up for it.

Perfect car camp spot

Super easy access for any car if roads are dry. Lots of places to get back in the junioers a lil and have a nice private place to sleep.

Got to road after dark / left before dawn and easily found my way in and out of area. 

Really quiet despite being so close to the interstate

Great Spot Just Don’t Camp Here Alone in a Tent

Great spot for camping with a group. Quite a few spots accessible by car. A couple fireplaces here and there too. A fair amount of fallen pine and juniper wood there to use for building fires. Just remember to drown out your fires with water (there’s a sign).

I do not recommend tent camping here solo though. This wasn’t my first time tent camping solo either. As I was laying in my sleeping bag inside my tent around 11pm, some creature started stalking me around midnight. I could hear it moving and breathing outside my tent. I managed to scare it off by hitting my car’s “panic button” on the keys. I then packed up immediately and left.

Pit stop

Perfect place to stop for the night. Road is fine. A few ruts. Super quiet.

Easy to find, small spaces, empty on a weekday

We pulled in after sunset to stop before going all the way north to SLC. The road was pretty doable in our truck, but it think it would be easy in a sedan too. There was a roundabout at the coordinates and another van was there, but there looked to be 3-4 more small spots for tents or vans. Not sure how many could accommodate a bigger rig. Lots of bugs, none biting. About a 7-10 min drive to the freeway. No freeway noise though. Some broken glass and trash, but nothing unexpected.

Easy to get to from the I-15

This wasn't where we planned to camp but got too tired to drive any further. We are in a Toyota Camry and just hammocking. This spot worked out nicely. There was someone in the actual place of the coordinates. But we found a spot near by.

Remote but not far.

This was a nice place to stop. Not far off the main roadway. Lots of shade. Open fields, so watch out for cows and cowpoo! I would camp here again. There was one other camper and it was very quiet.
