Lake in the Desert about an hour and a half south of Salt Lake City. Beach Camping. Fun lake for boating activities. 

Beach Camping in the desert

This campground has beautiful lake views and electric and water hookups. It is a little more expensive than we like but the scenery and hookups are nice.

Beautiful views

We have stayed here twice. We enjoy the covered table area for hanging hammocks, which you can't do on the Oasis side. There is a small beach area by the boat launch, or a 20 minute drive will get you to North Beach. There are a couple of trails, and lots of area to explore. Each site has power and water, and there are vault toilets scattered through out the campground. There are dumpsters and dump station, also. 

  

We didn't have many neighbors either time we stayed here. 

  

We will be back.

Quiet, Great Views. All around great campground.

Great spot for camping and relaxing. Great views

Loved it

CAUTION: See GPS Coordinates so that you do not enter on the muddy dirt road like we did. Google maps took us to the park but an uninviting entrance to the park. Elevation 5,069 at site PR01. Painted Rock Campground. Cows had visited our site and left large pods before we arrived. There was a dump station. Our site had water and electric. The restrooms were just OK. Weather ranged in the 40s and 70s.

Yuba Lake State Park 

Not a bad campground at all! Close proximity to the water, newer facilities at each site. We appreciated the shade over each table! The food prep table was a nice touch. As a heads up, the trees are not mature enough to provide any shade at all, so be prepared for sunny sites! Water hookups at each site, as well as water available throughout the campground. Vault toilets. There is a dump station at the entrance as well. Potable/drinking water is also available at the dump station. 

Fine campground 

We stayed here for one night on a road trip. We chose site 15 having never been here before because it was close to a restroom and we have a toddler. During our stay there was only one other person in the campground and it was quiet. 

We arrived and set up camp at sunset. It couldn’t have been more spectacular. The view of Yuba Lake was great and the site itself was really nice. The shade shelter, tent pad, and table were very well taken care of and clean. 

It was a bit windy (our site was on a hill overlooking the lake) so we didn’t really have a campfire but the sky was so dark you could see thousands of stars. 

We will definitely be back!

Clean and Quiet

There is not much to do in the area and the lake is seriously low, but it is a great place to park for a night or two if you want peace and quite and you have a big rig.  We have a 42 ft motorhome and a separate pickup with a 6x12 trailer and we fit both in a pull through sie and it looked like there was another 40 feet available.  We were in campsite #2 but it looks like there are other sites that are quite long.   The site was level with water and 50 among power.

Big rig friendly

Arrived on a Sunday in September after the reservation only period. Only two campers (including us) on the campground. It is beautifully settled in the hills. The lake is not accessible at this time due to low water level, but the view in all directions is beautiful. Water and electricity hookups are available, free dump station, too.

Great views

Overall good campsite, the lock on the bathroom door was broken, not much light pollution, otherwise. DNR officer was kind! Wish there wasn’t so many prickers!
