Slate Creek Dispersed Campground

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A trail heading north from camp follows Slate Creek for several miles, giving hikers and wildlife watchers access to elk and deer habitat with minimal crowds. Slate Creek Dispersed Campground sits at the base of Mirror Lake Highway in Wasatch National Forest, before the National Forest check-in station. It's free. The three to four walk-in sites are first-come, first-served, with no water, electric, or sewer hookups, though established rock fire pits are on-site. The area is large enough to accommodate an RV or trailer, making it accessible to more than just tent campers.

Gateway to the Uintas!

Slate creek is right at the bottom of Mirror Lake Highway. It’s the first campground you’ll pass, even before going by the National Forest check-in Station. There are about 3-4 walk-in sites, first come first serve. No water, electric, or sewer hookups, but there are small rock fire pits that campers have used over the years. The area is big enough to get an RV or Trailer into if that’s your fancy.

There is a trail to the north that goes straight up Slate Creek for several miles. Beautiful scenery, lots of wildlife (elk, deer), and it’s only 10 minutes up the canyon!
