Smithfield Dispersed Campsite
Smithfield Dispersed Campsite is located in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, featuring forested terrain with varied elevations. Temperatures range from 20°F in winter to 85°F in summer, providing distinct seasonal experiences. Nearby, visitors can explore Logan Canyon and Bear Lake, offering opportunities for hiking and water activities.
Description
Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest outside of a designated campground. Dispersed camping means no toilets, no treated water, and no fire grates are provided.
Camping in dispersed areas on the Forest is allowed for fourteen (14) days in any thirty (30) day consecutive period. Campers must move off Forest after reaching the 14-day limit. The stay limit also applies to all camping equipment (tents, chairs, ATVs, ATV trailers, etc.), even if used by a different person or group. Camping equipment must be removed by the end of the fourteen (14) day stay limit or the equipment may be impounded. Stay limits are implemented to reduce impacts to vegetation and wildlife habitat, as well as provide access to popular campsite areas for other visitors.
