This closure is also consistent with the State Public Health Order issued by the Utah Department of Health. The closure is effective immediately and will remain in effect until such time as conditions allow for safe use of the recreation area.

7. Paul Bunyon's Woodpile
Eureka, Utah2 Reviews•5 Photos•38 SavesA geologic curiosity - rare in Utah - the "Woodpile" is a cluster of lava logs formed about 30 million years ago during the Eocene Period. The "logs" were formed when a lava flow cooled into orderly columnar joints having 3 to 6 sides. The columns measure about a foot in diameter and up to 15 feet in length. This formation was on the rim of the caldera that collapsed due to a void left when lava flowed out from under the caldera. Basin and range faulting caused the formation to tilt onto its side. Erosion has exposed the formation we now see.

Wagons West RV Campground
Simple but Comfortable
No room in RV site for tent so moved to grassy tent site. Most sites appear to be occupied by long term rentals. Host was very friendly and helpful in accommodating my needs.

Little out of the way gem
Stayed 6/1-4 in space 9. Very shady campground and campsite. Creek runs thru but not by this site. Only 1 vault toilet for the family campground, so walked over to Group site toilets which were cleaner. One trail out of camp to Rock Canyon but it was fairly steep and rocky so didn't do much of it. Did walk up and down paved road into camp and then on dirt roads off main road that had a few FCFS dry camp pull out areas along the creek. Campsites well spaced many with good views of valley or the red rock cliffs. No ATVs allowed in campground. Spaces 15 and 20 were also good, 10 is double size but same price with large drive and nice views to red cliffs. Camp host unobtrusive.
Would be great during fall colors. Saw some bear scat on trail closer to I-70

Maple Canyon
NIce little place
Dirt road in, off the hwy, was a bit rutted, but we made it okay in van. Took our chances on a FCFS spot, #8 which looked fairly level but was not. There were 2 bathrooms we saw and the site was mostly equidistant from both, and a bit of distance away. Beautiful canyon with walls rising up both sides but were just passing thru so didn't get to see much and didn't stay but basically overnight. Seems like some interesting pull out boon-docking sites on way in but bathroom in day use parking was locked in the am when we left.

Long drive on dirt roads, great for solitude high desert
Spot#1 Good shade and privacy clean bathrooms. Sheep dogs came through with herd of sheep (make SURE you have your dogs secured so they're not attacked by herding dogs). Beautiful open views of Utah west desert

Great conglomerate rock climbing
Forested campsites in a narrow canyon. Busy on weekends. Got the last first served sit at 3pm Friday. Sites next to the main road. Traffic peering into the campsite. Young fit crowd. Weak cell reception.

Oak Creek is my go-to campground, whether I'm with family or solo. It's nestled in Boulder Mountain and can be easy to overlook if you're not paying attention. Experience Unblocked Games 76 right now!

Hidden Gem
Stumbled upon this small campground. 6 sites around a grassy area. Oak, maple and cottonwoods and a creek. 4 group sites and 13 more sites up canyon past group sites, some along the creek. Water, pit and flush toilets, no garbage. There was a trailer in site #1 but didn’t see anyone. Beautiful full moon rise over canyon! Quiet and peaceful but a surprising amount of traffic on the gravel road up the canyon past campground. There are more camping spots up the road. Plantation Flat is a primitive campground in a pine forest. It was full of OHV campers. Looked like they were there for awhile.

Pit stop
Perfect place to stop for the night. Road is fine. A few ruts. Super quiet.
Megan W.ScoutFish Lake National Forest Campsite
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.

Beautiful area and the kids loved being able to play in the park. Beautiful stars at night. Conveniently located near The Arches National Park

Pleasantly Surprised
Beautiful scenery and just right outside of town. Very easy to access for most. I did see an RV camping but it had to be a bit more difficult for them. There are several established places to camp with beautiful views. Very private. Great for mountain biking
Valorie H.TravelerFish Lake National Forest Campsite
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.

Mountain Mecca
Off road camping
Open area looks like local party spot, not for RVs. Lots of spots to pitch a tent, established fire pits. Not far off the main road. Road goes up past water tower and recommends using 4wd to come up to prevent washboard, but any vehicle with awe would do. No amenities and very private.

Beautiful view! Several fire pits, some with wood left by the rangers. Well maintained and quiet on this chilly night.

Dispersed Sandy Lot
easy place to stop for night 15 minutes or so away from interstate
We were looking for an easy place away from the interstate to split our drive from Idaho to St George in half. There was no one here at all and found easy place with a tree to set up 26ft tt. Let the dog roam free around meadow. Further up are more sites but gets sandier and tighter

Off Season Camping
We came here to test out our new teardrop we bought from SLC. We wanted the electric hookup. We arrived during a snow storm, off season camping was first come first serve. We used the QR code to check in and pay. We were the only ones on the campground, so we took the campsite closest to the lake and the vault toilets (flush toilets were closed). The lake was beautiful and the campground was maintained nicely.

Great location!
Nice long spaces. Very quiet, and still dark enough at night to see the stars. Best campground in the area.

Widely dispersed sites. Beauty in all directions. Very quite. Great spot.

Great place to camp
The view would distract anyone one who was traveling on the dirt road and when you get to the campsites it was so amazing to see how many people was up there and how much fun they where having. the campsite we chosen was perfect for out big tent. the camp ground had place you could go hiking and do a lot of exploring as well.
each campsite had running water and had a gate that you had to open and close which i thought was pretty neat.
the bathrooms where nice as well even though they didn't flush they where nice and didn't have that smell that some of them do. The water was nice and cold which made washing your face exhilarating to start my morning.
at night the stars where so beautiful while sitting around the campfire and being together while roasting marsh mellows.
I have to admit it was one of the best camping trips I have ever had with my family.

Marjum Pass Dispersed Camping
Open camping with great lines of sight
Camped on the Western opening of Marjum Canyon. Drove through the canyon a few times. Dispersed camping and small pull-offs all throughout.
Photos are of the Western slope pouring out of the canyon. As you exit the Canyon heading West, there are pull offs on both sides of the dirt road. Some areas may need high clearance vehicles to get over. There are small pull offs and dirt roads that low clearance vehicles can go over.
Most surrounding land is BLM land.

Small FS camp great fall colors
Small campground with 10 sites circling a grassy lawn and 10 sites scattered upstream along the canyon with maple, oak, and cottonwood all turning colors in October. Water turns off October 2nd and campground closed for the season oct15th.

Vernon Reservoir Campground
Great fishing, mid sites
The reservoir had good fishing; we caught a couple tiger trout. We camped in early October and the algae was extreme.
The road out is dirt, but maintained. There wasn’t any signage with notices. There are plenty of camp sites with pavilions, picnic tables, and fire rings. The sites are mostly exposed and many don’t have even ground to park and level a trailer. There were a couple gem spots, but these were taken when we arrived. It wasn’t busy.

Fish Lake National Forest Campsite
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.

Maple Hollow
Rough road access, and worh it
5 mile rough gravel road for access. Could not find a site in the camp itself, but many pull off on the way up. We found a great spot about 1/2 mile back down the access road and spent a couple of beautiful days. Hardly a passerby.

Fishlake National Forest Oak Creek Rec Site
A Hidden Gem
Traveling east along US-50 "The Loneliest Road in America," we were seeking somewhere to camp after leaving Great Basin National Park. We stumbled upon Oak Creek Recreation Area quite by accident, but such a rewarding accident it turned out to be. It must be the best kept secret in western Utah for camping.
Oak Creek campground is located four miles east of Oak City, Utah. It is nestled in a canyon in the Fishlake National Forest. We arrived at the campground late afternoon June 5, 2023 and had our choice of ANY campsite - we were the only occupants. We selected site 19, a back-in site at the end of the loop that runs through the campground. The site is less than 100 feet or so from Oak Creek which runs parallel to the campground. The site is level and easily accommodated our 18-foot travel trailer. Using our Senior America the Beautiful pass, the cost per night was $8.00 and worth every penny. In addition to this campsite, there is additional camping further up Oak Creek Canyon Road for tents, RVs, and trailers - access is via a well-maintained dirt road beyond the campground we stayed in.
Highly recommend this campground for peace and quiet!

Great Camping and Climbing
Nice campground with great rock climbing. Well maintained sites and toilet facilities. Very peaceful ( with the exception of a little traffic going up and down the road during day). Reservations required though, so plan ahead
- AAndrew M.Ranger
Maple Hollow
Great for tents and campervans
Much bigger climb than expected, so if towing a heavier trailer be aware. Gravel road is well maintained with minimal washboard.
Looks like there was a flood in the past - destroyed site #1. Remaining 11 sites are nicely shaded among the trees. Limited space for small trailers/campers. Good for campervans or tent campers.
Water supply is turned off at all water sites - unsure whether this is related to flood damage or something else.
11 sites with nice fireplaces, fire rings and picnic tables/benches.
