Panquitch Lake Cliffside Campsite

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Ashdown Forest Road provides the most reliable entry point to this dispersed camping area near Panguitch Lake, as several other access routes are gated. Roads turn slick and impassable in rain or snow, so dry conditions matter. No designated sites exist. Campers park where the terrain allows, with sightlines toward the lake and surrounding cabin areas. RVs up to 30 feet can access the area, and the campground permits pets and campfires. Hikers, anglers, kayakers, and OHV riders all find relevant terrain here, with trails connecting to surrounding areas including routes toward Escalante. Campers who want established facilities nearby can compare camping areas around Cedar City or consider Cedar Breaks RV Park to the west. This site works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with unimproved access roads.

No access point

We could not find a way to access the camping spots…there’s a lot of new development and I think that’s closed the access points?

Needs 4WD, but plenty of space

You can come in through Ashdoen Forest Road, at least some other entrances are gated. I didn't see any explicit campsites, but there is lots of trail to find a spot to park.
