7 Reviews of Pine Lake Campground
Beautiful lighting for pictures
All the reviews are spot on, so I won’t bore you with my details. However, the bugs were relentless. On one occasion, a horsefly bit through my husbands shirt, so be sure to pull out of the bug repellent hacks you can find!
We visited mid-June of 2017…that’s when the massive Brian Head fire happened. We got some ashes at the campsite, but were still able to enjoy the visit.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!!
Wooded, Well Spaced, On a Creek, near a Lake
With 32 sites and multiple additional Group Sites this is a hidden gem near Bryce Canyon National Park.
Some of the best sites are walk in only, but many are reserve-able online in advance.
The camp host sells wood for $7 a bundle and they are smaller sized pieces and there is not any real foraging in the campground (surrounded by a fence to keep out free ranging cattle. You can forage for firewood in the national forest outside the fence …
Lots of ATV and boaters use this campground
Boondocking is available as you approach the campground and pass it …
AMAZING!!!
Absolutely beautiful. The trees against the sand stone is gorgeous. The lake was so pretty. I can’t even describe how beautiful this area is. There are two loops in the campground. The upper loop is for reservations only. The bottom loop is first come first serve. Bathrooms were clean and water spigots throughout the campground. There are dumpsters at the very end of the road on the way out which is super nice and convenient. A walking trail leads around the lake. Lots of ATV trails nearby. Bryce Canyon is only 30 min away. This has definitely become our new favorite spot.
Beautiful lake camping
the drive in takes a while- slow on gravel. Lake is absolutely beautiful. The vault toilets were clean and the hiking was pristine. We'll be back when its better swimming weather!
Spectacular setting in the National forest
Dry camping at it's finest. Less than 20 miles to Bryce canyon NP. Huge sites, handles big rigs. Lake has fish. Plenty of off road opportunities.views of Powell Point are within a short drive.
Pine Lake Campground, UT
Conveniently located near Pine Lake. This small lake is great for fishing & kayaking; however, it is always windy. The campground is definitely off the beaten path, but at 8100' elevation it's a great place to beat the heat. Sites can be all sun or all shade. Many first come first serve, which is good for a last minute trip. Clean bathrooms, water at taps, no hookups, no cell service, and closes for the winter by mid-Sept. p.s. You can camp there when it's closed (bathrooms open, water locked), but it's really spooky to be the only ones there.
Great campsite, 2 minutes from pine lake.
Fourth of july long weekend camping, group site has own vault toilet and water
