The campground features tent camping areas accessible by drive-in routes, with fires permitted throughout the site.

    Fish 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.

    Great Spot Just Don’t Camp Here Alone in a Tent

    Great spot for camping with a group. Quite a few spots accessible by car. A couple fireplaces here and there too. A fair amount of fallen pine and juniper wood there to use for building fires. Just remember to drown out your fires with water (there’s a sign).

    I do not recommend tent camping here solo though. This wasn’t my first time tent camping solo either. As I was laying in my sleeping bag inside my tent around 11pm, some creature started stalking me around midnight. I could hear it moving and breathing outside my tent. I managed to scare it off by hitting my car’s “panic button” on the keys. I then packed up immediately and left.

    Perfect car camp spot

    Super easy access for any car if roads are dry. Lots of places to get back in the junioers a lil and have a nice private place to sleep.

    Got to road after dark / left before dawn and easily found my way in and out of area. 

    Really quiet despite being so close to the interstate

    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.

    Maple Hollow

    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.

    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

    Beautiful spot

    Camped overnight. We had the whole place to ourselves. There are several fire ring/picnic table spots in the campground. Maple trees, evergreens and oak trees throughout. Beautiful fresh air. Plenty of shade. Two vault toilets for the whole camp area.

    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.
