Accessible via Paradise Park Road, this Forest Service campground operates from mid-June through mid-September with sites accommodating RVs up to 37 feet. Located below a reservoir where cattle graze and visitors fish, the campground charges $5 per night and provides restroom facilities. Road conditions require driving into the mountains to reach the sites.
Campers can choose between established sites or dispersed camping along the dirt road past an old ranger station, though reviewers note broken glass in some dispersed areas. The nearby Paradise Guard Station provides another option for those exploring pet-friendly camping spots around Ashley National Forest.
Description
There are 15 campsites on the shores of Paradise Park Lake where you can fish for rainbow trout. You can take Forest Road 296 (a jeep trail) to its end and hike to a number of isolated and lovely little lakes which dot the area to the northeast of Paradise Park. The Deadman Lake Trail is open to hiking and horses and is 8.5 miles long. Drinking water is not provided. Enjoy mountain biking on nearby roads and trails (but not on wilderness trails!). The area north and east of Paradise Park is open to OHV use only on designated routes; the area south and west is fairly unrestricted. Pick up a travel map from the Forest Service. Near the campground is a rustic, 75-year old guard cabin that is available from June - March (or until snow melts). The cabin features a wood stove for heat and propane cook stove and refrigerator, an outdoor toilet, but no hot water or shower. There is cold water seasonally, but it gets turned off in the winter. The cabin sleeps four in two bunk beds. There is snowmobile access in the winter. Five people are permitted to camp outside the cabin. Other amenities in the cabin include basic pots and pans, mattresses but no linens, table and chairs, and cleaning supplies.
