"You are WALKING distance from sport climbs of all grades.
Verizon service just outside the campground, where the pavement ends we parked at a turnout."
"There are a lot of campsites and all are right next to climbing areas. The maple leaves in the fall are fantastic."
$50 - $300 / night
"The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because some of the sites aren't level and are pretty close to each other. I had to use 3 yellow square leveling blocks on the left side."
"Pleasant and nearby Fairview is like from an old movie; old yet gorgeous."

"Super close to the lake which I loved. Great fishing and water activities you can do"
"It’s located just 5 minutes from the lake, which can be seen down the hill to the north. In the early morning deer frequent the meadow between the sites and the lake."
"This is a great spot just a about 2 miles off the main highway. It’s paved until you get to the campground turn off which is a good dirt road. Wide open space with tons of options to tent or RV."
"That being said, if you don't have an off-road capable vehicle (like me) - it's a solid option and there are some pretty mountain views. You can buy the permit online."

"Loved being close to the reservoir. So beautiful!"
"It was easy to drive up to a campsite and unload the tents and still use the Jeep and truck tailgates for coolers and such. We floated and also took the kayaks."
$15 - $60 / night
"It's a really steep canyon to pull a trailer up from the Fairview side so make sure your truck has the power and you watch the temperature."
"The views are beautiful and it’s great camping, four wheeling, and fishing at the many nearby reservoirs. You can even take Miller Flat Road all the way down to Joe’s Valley."

"Site 9 but sites 4, 5, 12 good too. 1 is private but away from toilets. Nice view down the valley to Electric Lake. Decent distance to Scofield."
"This is a beautiful campground that is close to many lakes. Navigating through the campground is very tight with large boulders and logs inconveniently placed."
$25 - $45 / night
"Campgrounds face the main area where cars drive so they’re not very private, but that wasn’t a problem for us."

"This place was shady and nice all around. The camping spots were spread out okay."
"stream right next to campsite"
ScoutStill a bit cool in May, but as the leads come in there are spots with decent coverage and 10 minutes from strawberry reservoir
TravelerPaved campsites in a birch & scrub forest. Friendly hosts. Fire pit/grill combo and large wooden picnic table in good shape. Overall a nice campground.
GuideAs beautiful as the view was, I felt it was ruined with all of the trash that people have left behind in the dispersed camping area as well as along the lakeshore. Tents, pillows, sleeping bags, glass, etc. There also seems to be majority long term campers who have a lot of stuff everywhere around their campsites, as well as 2-3 permanent residents living on the private property that backs up against the public lands. While there are 10-12 spots that are easily accessible, they’re being utilized by the long-term campers. Our first night here we arrived around 8 pm, right before sunset so we didn’t have a lot of time to explore so we just parked in the larger area near the public access area to the lake by 3 other campers. Luckily the next morning a camper van left so we were able to move without being on top of so many people since the people we were around all had dogs barking almost every time we let ours out to go to the bathroom. Overall, I felt like this campsite left more to be desired and took away from the beauty of the area.
ScoutWe spent just one night. We stayed on the side of the lake where the ground was harder, so loose sand wouldn't be a problem. Some bugs, but not to the point of being annoying.
ScoutRoad was easy enough dry, imagine it would be tough after a storm. There are a number of well dispersed sites, some with good wind protection, others less so.
GuideI’ve camped here a couple times. Not bad for desert camping. It’s a good spot for winter camping.
Pros
Cons
GuideStayed here first week of April. Road to get to the spot was a little tough but it was a good spot for an overnight stop. It’s right off the highway so be prepared for hearing cars all night, but it wasn’t too bad.
Night time was really cool with some good stargazing, and there really weren’t any cars on the dirt road, so that was also a plus.
Nothing really special here, but definitely serves its purpose.
GuideIt’s pretty as you drive in and if you keep to yourself you might be okay but there are quite a few long term residents along with all their garbage. Several loose dogs, including some cute puppies. We didn’t stay.
TravelerSheep Creek is a decent spot right off the highway if you're traveling through and need to catch some Zzz's. It's close to a few trails, although only 1 of the two gates going towards Strawberry were open, so I can't speak to how the trails are. We stayed 3 nights, and it was quiet enough. It is just an open field but there are plenty of spots for plenty of people. Each night people were pulling in late at night for some shut eye but it didn't bother us as we didn't notice other than the lights. It's good views and free so can't complain much.
