Koosharem Reservoir

Anglers can access Koosharem Reservoir directly from this dispersed camping area, which sits along a gravel road system that accommodates rigs up to 40 feet. The campground provides several individual spots plus a larger area that fits four to five good-sized RVs, each with established fire pits. Reviewers consistently mention the clean vault toilet facilities, with one camper noting the area "has a very clean vault toilet."

The gravel access road makes entry and exit straightforward for various vehicle types, from camper vans to large fifth wheels. Cell coverage varies by carrier, with Verizon users reporting three bars of 5G service while T-Mobile shows no signal. The dispersed layout allows for spacing between camping groups, and the reservoir provides fishing opportunities according to local reports.

Campers often use this spot as an overnight stop when traveling between southern Utah's national parks. "Perfect place for an evening stop over," describes tiffany K., highlighting the area's role in regional travel routes. Those exploring the broader region can find additional campsites around Monroe for extended stays in the area. The combination of big rig accessibility, basic amenities, and reservoir access makes this a practical base for both fishing trips and park-to-park travel.

Good place to pull over for the night or spend a day.

Easy in and out, couple individual spots and a large area for about 4-5 good size rigs, all with four pits. we were in a 40 ft fver. Public restrooms but did not use.

Heard it was good fishing.
