Great Lake Spot with Great Host

Spent 3 nights at Little Lyman Lake to get out of the Heat. This is a wonderful campground with 6 small RV campsites and 4 tent sites. Sites 2, 3, 8 and 10 are pull thru. Site 1 is a double back in and 9 is a deep back in. There’s two very clean pit toilets but no water. Doesn’t sound like they will ever get water back so bring enough with you as we could not find any even in Mountain View. The host, Matthew drives up from Meeks Cabin multiple times every day and checks to see if you need anything, he is the greatest caretaker. There is only a few negatives. There’s a lot of people who come into the site to use the bathrooms and fish without paying the day use fee. They did leave some trash in the toilets and around the lake. People also walk right through the campsite to go to the lake. Not too noisy on the weekends and plenty of available sites, we had 2 other campers on Saturday night. Sunday night and Monday we had the whole valley to ourselves. The fishing after everyone left was great, brook and speckled trout, small but fun to catch on light tackle or flies. Matthew made up for the minimal negatives. If you disperse up at Big Lyman and come down to fish, pay the day use fee, make sure you have your fishing license and take your trash out. We’ll be back for some mid week camping soon. Don’t even think you will get cell service, but isn’t that the point.

Nice little campground

Nice little campground. Road is a little ruff coming from the west, but coming in from the north through Wyoming is way easier on the vehicle. It takes me about an hour longer, but it is worth it. We camp here because the kids like to fish, and we can all ride dirtbikes, ATV, and side-by-side.

How do I find a map of Lyman Lake and surrounding trails?

Maps of Lyman Lake and its surrounding trails can be obtained from the U.S. Forest Service offices that manage the Uinta Mountains. Contact the local ranger district for the most current maps. For digital options, check the official Forest Service website or The Dyrt's campground page for uploaded map images.
