    Uinta National Forest Blackhawk Campground

    Grab an Equestrian site

    Blackhawk is great if you can’t find reservations elsewhere. we booked equestrian sites up at the top - highest elevation. Good views, pavilions, fire pits and pit toilets. Don’t have to have horses to book equestrian and they seem to be more available since I don’t think people k ow this.

    Uinta National Forest Blackhawk Campground

    If I were to go back...

    I would reserve a spot ahead of time, avoiding any site in loop 'E'. That loop is for those planning to camp with horses. There are hitching posts at every site, therefore, lots of horse poo. And not the best place to take a dog because of all the horses in the area.

    The camp host at loop 'E' and 'D' is very nice, and is willing to split up group areas to individuals who have no where else to set up camp. If you do this, expect to get to know new people as you will share a fire pit and eating area.

    The fee to camp for one night is $20, but that includes access to any of the Payson lakes, which is $8 for day use.

    We didn't go on any hikes during our stay, as we bummed at the beautiful lakes (only the middle of the three lakes is dog friendly) all day. However, there is plenty of hiking in the area.

    Very hot. Around 90 degrees. Wake up and get breakfast early. Then enjoy the water in the heat!

    P.S. 3 stars due to the fact that I had to camp in horse crap.

    Payson Lakes

    Beautiful Lake And Beautiful Tree Cover

    Being that we already live in southern Utah county, this place has become a go to for our family. Only about 45 mins away from Payson Ut. 

    Great fishery for children and youth, as well as an amazing area for swimming and kayaking. They do not allow motorized boats, so it is safe. Also the lake isn't too big so if your teen blows across the lake on his kayak or raft he can easily walk it back around the lake. 

    We definitely recommend it.

    Payson Lakes

    Great place to camp but no atv’s are aloud.

    Nice big shade trees. Close to town. On the website it says atv’s need to be registered in Utah so I understood you can ride there. I was wrong you can’t have atv’s in the campground.

    Payson Lakes

    Nice Camp Ground

    Overall it is a nice Camp ground. All the roads are paved. Outhouses were kept clean and stocked.

    There is a lake close by within walking distance with a paved trail all around it. The water was low and pretty gross when we went at the end of the summer.

    I stayed at B23. On the website it says can fit a 24ft RV or 24ft trailer. I was a little sceptical about that because of you can fit a 24ft trailer there and a truck, then why couldn't you fit a bigger RV? I called and asked they said yes you could fit a 24ft trailer with a truck to pull it. In the end I decided not to bring a trailer and I am glad I didn't, because I could see fitting a 24ft trailer, maybe, not certainly not both a truck and trailer.

    Payson Lakes

    Just one night

    This campground is amazing! Don’t miss the sunrise over the tree line on the lake. It was pretty full when we got here(it was a holiday weekend) but we off roaded a little bit and found a beautiful little haven. we brought our dog who herded deer through our campsite twice, the kids loved it. Highly suggest coming here and hike the grotto because it’s a short hike and so close to the campground.

    Payson Lakes

    Great place to get away from the city.

    One of my favorite summer get away spots. Lots of fish in the lake, great bike trails and amazing views all around. With it being a 15 minute drive from Payson makes for a great time.

    Nice bathrooms, tables, fire pits, and in the trees. This campground can be hard to find a spot on busy weekends because it is so close to town. Amazing mountain views and fun for the whole family.

    Private gem along Nebo Loop!

    Such a beautiful campground! Very private and not crowded, even during the busiest weekends. Access to lots of pretty places to run around and explore. Great places for kids to play. Lots of tall pine trees. I definitely recommend!

    Payson Lakes

    Very busy area, hard to get reservations

    Stayed in 33B first night and 23C second night. C loop seems a little more sparse and spaced out. Outer loop seems better. Bathrooms very clean and well stocked. Sites mostly level. Pine and aspen, some spots more shaded than others. Easy walk to lake and there is a nice paved trail around it. Spotty cell service at road, none in campground. 

    Food aside: Freeze-dried Pad thai with chicken, supplemented chicken (packet from Wal Mart) and it was very good with a bit of heat. Also added garlic powder (always).
