Tent camping at site 23. $20 for a tent site ($40 for a double site). Cool area to explore. Fire pit and a faucet with a bucket. Bathrooms close by. $5 for a bundle of wood. Nice little spot!
Traveler
We were tent camping at this campground which is the only reason it will not get 5 stars from us. The campground itself is great, especially the bathrooms are surprisingly amazing. And here comes the but: the tent sites are right on the street without much of a barrier (a small wooden fence on one site, but nothing else). Everybody can just walk on the site. The noise is also awful if you're staying there during the main season. If you're staying with a camper you're probably ok.
GuideI spent a night at a tent site here. There were all 5 Sites available. Toilets and showers are just next to the tent sites.
I arrived without reservation and ten minutes before office closing time, still was made feeling welcome.
ScoutFeet from an extremely busy and noisy intersection under a street light. Only consider this campground for tent camping if absolutely desperate. And, in that case, consider a hotel.
GuideRV pull through sites right off the highway with full hookups. No tent sites. Nothing sexy here, just good spot to spend the night in your RV if you're traveling through.
Traveler
Be sure to read the map, the spots are adequately marked, but there is very little grass except what is in the tent sites. There are plenty of dog bag and garbage cans. Very quiet place out of the city.
GuideGot to stay in a rad tipi site for only $30! They had firewood available by the bundle for $5/armload. Tent sites are $15 and extra cars are $10. It's about a mile from the Fremont Indian State Park and the surrounding area is pure magic.
Traveler
Beautiful location with endless summer mountain activities. Water taps and vault toilets, no hook ups. Mixed pull through, back in, and tent sites. Perfect for under 30' campers. The area has several lakes, ATV trails, hiking trails, and scenic drives. Lakes have trout, some allow small motorized boats.
Guide
A small, (14 sites), well maintained campsite, just East of Beaver, Utah, that offers easy access to a number of small lakes and reservoirs. The camp host on this trip was very friendly and helpful. They sell wood bundles for $6. The camp has separate male and female restrooms with flush toilets. And, enough drinkable site faucets that almost every site has 1. There are 2- accessible sites, and actual tent pads, not just a tent area. The Beaver river runs right in the campground, with an accessible area, completed with a park bench to sit on. There is also a group fire pit.
TravelerCastle Rock campground in Fishlake National forest is one of two campgrounds that serve Utah's Fremont Indian State Park, with both administration and reservations handled through the Utah State Park system. When I visited it was both very clean and very well maintained. Despite being close to the interstate, it is far enough up a side canyon that you do not hear the traffic on the road. It feels like being much further from civilization.
There are 44 camp sites available, many alongside the creek that flows through the campground. About 2/3 are reservable, the rest are available daily as FCFS. Two have teepees for those lacking a tent. Several are double sites for larger groups, and there are a variety of pull through vs in/out options.
There is available potable water at several locations around the campground, and two restroom facilities - a full flush unit near the center of the grounds, and a double pit at the south end of the loop.
Every site has a fire pit, an elevated grill, and a picnic table.
There is an access road from the campground to the Paiute ATV trail. For hikers, the south end of the campground is the north origin of the Joe Lott Trail that heads into the Fishlake National Forest. The facilities of Fremont Indian State Park are about 1/2 mile away, on the opposite side of I-70, and include a small museum of Fremont life, and a variety of improved and unimproved trails leading to many rock art sites.
TravelerThis location has clean bathrooms and showers centrally located on the grounds. So it doesn’t matter if you’re in a tent or RV, it’s a close distance for everyone. They are also pet friendly with trash cans and doggie bags placed around the site. Our tent area included water/electric, a picnic table, and fire pit/grill. We really enjoyed our little grass area and the quiet surroundings!
TravelerMy husband and I camped at this campground September 3rd to September 8th of 2020. We are tent campers and really enjoyed this campground.
All of the campsites seem to great for tent or trailer but there are specific sites that have tent pads. We were in spot 11 and it did not have a tent pad but had a nice spot to put our tent.
The campsite is very well maintained. The fire pit is sunk in and there is gravel around it and where the picnic bench is. The sun dips behind the mountain and therefore the afternoon is mostly shaded which makes it easy to enjoy sitting around the site and using the picnic bench.
I enjoyed all the natural greenery and shrubbery that grew in between the sites. I could not see our neighbors and it felt secluded.
There is one bathroom facility on the site with 2 stalls in each the men’s and women’s restroom. They were kept clean but do be careful of black widows. Both my husband and I spotted some in each of the restrooms. They also don’t have showers because we stayed longer I was brought our outdoor shower gear and was able to set it up in a private area on our site.
We have Verizon and did not get service at our site. Drive about a mile in towards town and we would get service. We didn’t mind since most days we were off visiting the National Parks and other sites.
The camp host was very friendly.
ScoutVery fun with good places to put tents

We had spot 61, and it was perfect for our group of 6. We had a trailer, and utilized the full hookups, and a tent. Most of the camp sites are broken up into tiers. The top tier was perfect the the tent, the middle tier has a in ground fire pit, and the lower level had a paved spot for the trailer and a picnic table. I would definitely come back again, and take advantage of the nature trail behind the campsite.
RangerWe pitched our tent right near the creek. Beautiful spot with some seclusion.We only stayed one night but it was awesome. Would definitely come back. Sad I don't have any photos, but it was beautiful & peaceful!
TravelerPerfect stop with three kids from Southern California to Minnesota. Clean, very friendly, great showers. Kids loved the pool and the playground! Tent pitching mostly on gravel. Hookups have multiple options. Very kind staff. Don’t forget you are in beaver so get souvenirs!!!!!
Guide
Nice stop on your way through Utah. Pull through sites for RVs. Electricity but no water in March.
TravelerHosts answered our many questions and offered help. Access to stream right across from our site. Potable water right at site. #12 offered privacy for the tent pad. Shaded picnic table. We visited other campgrounds and felt #12 at Little Cottonwood was the best.
Only downside were flies and nowhere to hang a hammock at #12
ScoutKent’s campground is great place to have an RV or pitch a tent. Amazing scenery all around Beaver area. Rainbow trout are average size. Running water and bathrooms all around the campsite. Camp host is very friendly to everyone. Busy on the weekend, during the week not so much. Kent’s campsite done by September 15, not sure when it opens again.
Guide
The pre made camping areas are nice. Fire pit, picnic tables and the restrooms are close by...if that's what you call camping. Otherwise, there is a lot of areas to find a spot and pitch a tent. Do be aware of the off road trails and mountain bike trails.

This camp site is small and doesn’t have much space for RVS or anything like that so make sure to find a different location. Number 2 is a double campsite but you literally have a gorgeous view of Anderson meadows... so it’s booking worthy... the campsite has restrooms, fire ring and tent pads so that’s a bonus as well. Fishlake is amazing wherever you camp and the trout is ready be caught!!!
Ranger
Camped here 1 night. The 4.5 mile road off the highway is very good though dusty. Creek is lovely. Sites vary in their condition but flat tent or van spots are uncommon. ORV traffic and locals passing by about every hour. WeBoost 3 Verizon bars. My retriever who is used to bears refused to go out in the dark, probably Mt Lions about so watch small pets closely.
ScoutThe beauty of the Tushar mountain are unsurpassed by any other range in Utah. They are easy to access and have peaks close to 12,000 feet with Delano at 12,169 feet above sea level.
The temperatures are perfect for summer camping and Beaver is only 35 minutes away
TravelerWe stayed here for three days to head to Zion and the experience was less then stellar. the campsite was built on what used to be the putt putt court and is located by the road so you can hear anything that passes by at any time of the day. The staff is friendly and the bathrooms are very clean which is why its getting the twi stars but avoid at all costs if using a tent.
Legend
Plenty of room for multiple tent In a few different spaces and it’s first come first serve, they also have day use for 5 dollars! Envelopes are located once you pull into campground. Nice fishing hole and chipmunks and cows are every where so make sure you keep your food protected because trust me chipmunks and little Squirellies are ready to eat your food and climb all over your table so make sure you wipe down before using the table. Oh and the campsites have tables, fire ring and water throughout the camp ground that you can use for drinking or to fill up to bring back to your site and clean bathrooms, Great views and peace and quiet!
TravelerWe have a cabin at the top that we can't get too from October - July(ish) so we stay at Little Cottonwood when can't get to the top. We love staying here! The campground is small, only 14 sites but the best part is the creek that runs down the entire mountain and right through the campsite. The creek does move pretty fast so hold on to your little ones pretty tight, if they can stand how cold the water is! There is running water every other site, in ground fire pits, tent pads, and picnic bench in every site. Men and Women's bathroom facility that has always been keep very clean with real flushable toilets.
T-Mobile - No Service
AT&T - No Service
Verizon - Service for calls/text but not data.
Guide
Beautiful area. Surround by mountains and farm fields. Beautiful gravel lot with rv spots, tent spots and cute little cabins. Showers, laundry, bathrooms, and fenced in dog area. Gas station/gift shop right at the camp ground. Staff and owners were super friendly. Feels like your out in the middle of no where (which you kind of are lol), but about 10 minutes south down hwy 89 is Panguitch, and that town seemed to have a little bit of everything. Bryce Canyon National park was about 40 mins away. Zion National Park was a little over an hour. Ceader Breaks National Monument was around those same times to. And many other things to do around the area.
