Summit Reservoir

Accessible via a graded road just off Interstate 15, Summit Reservoir sits close enough to the highway to work as an overnight pull-off for road trippers moving through southern Utah. Tree coverage is present across much of the area, and the campground is listed as big rig friendly. Trash left by previous visitors has been a recurring issue, and reviewers note the site can feel crowded. A trail leads into the hills toward Brian Head. Campers who need to resupply can reach Parowan for gas and groceries. Those exploring camping near Summit will find this spot suits short stops better than extended stays.

Much needed shade

Took awhile to find a place with trees. Got them and a breeze to boot. Sites were a little close, but midweek there was little occupancy.

Good spot to pull over and sleep

We were driving through on a road trip and stopped here because it was along our route. It’s very easy to hop off of 15 and get to this site. The site is however dirty with trash and fairly crowded. Wouldn’t recommend for anything more than pulling over and sleeping
