    Fishlake National Forest Oak Creek Rec Site

    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.

    Fish 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.

    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

    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.

    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

    Oasis Campground — Yuba State Park

    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 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

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Price Gouging & Drama!!

    This campground has a $50.00 non-refundable'administration' fee. The owners (Super wealthy inventors of the'Squatty Pottie') quickly doubled the rent for workers coming to the area. Electric extra. Our rent ran around $1,000 a month but a lot of people paid more, depending on their electric use. No playground or pool and next to a busy road. (Okay if you like the sound of Jake brakes at all hours.) When we arrived in February they advertised Wi-Fi on their website. It's actually dial up I think. They kept assuring us it was coming, but as of July, it hasn't happened. 

    There is insane drama here! The workers hate each other and want to discuss it with everyone, ad nauseam. 

    Tenants regularly had their packages stolen from the office, including us. The administration gave our package to someone who sold it. They still didn't think twice about keeping the $50 administration fee! A tip for the thief? 

    We weren't thrilled at being price gouged and robbed at the same campground. We wouldn't stay here again.

    Quiet and peaceful

    Stop on our way North in our van with our 2 kids. Drove about 20 Minutes off the 15 on hwy 50 to Whiskey creek road. Drove another 20 on whiskey creek on a well maintained dirt road. Camp was relatively flat, good trees for shade and elevated to allow for nice views and a breeze. Kids enjoyed exploring and climbing the small trees. Previous campers made fire pits. No one to be seen for miles.

    Baker Hot Springs Dispersed Camping

    Remote, quiet, peaceful area, nice hot springs

    We are full-timers and have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. The second half of the~7 mile gravel road in is a little washboarded in places, but not too bad if we kept it under 30 mph or so. We stayed here for one night in early June on a Thursday. Only two other overnighters, one near the pools and the other across the road. There were only a few day trippers, but I’ve read it can get busy on the weekends. The entire area was clean and nearly free of trash. There is also a pit toilet onsite now. There are 3 pools that are fairly clean as far as natural springs go, as there is usually some algae present. The very hot(180º) and cold water entering the pools is adjustable using the towels and clothing others have left to control the inflow, but stirring the water occasionally helps keep the overall temperature comfortable. The camping areas could be a little sporty with any significant amount of rain. Some areas were fine, but others were very heavily rutted. AT&T coverage was fair, with 2 bars of 5G and speeds up to 4 MB/s.

    Nice spot

    Came out here because the road washed out at Paul Bunyan's log pile. Wide open, easy to find a secluded spot. No hiking, no services, decent cell reception. It would be a great spot if you have ATVs, dirt bikes, etc. I just needed a place to try out some new gear so this place worked out.

    Great views

    Arrived on a Sunday in September after the reservation only period. Only two campers (including us) on the campground. It is beautifully settled in the hills. The lake is not accessible at this time due to low water level, but the view in all directions is beautiful. Water and electricity hookups are available, free dump station, too.
