CAMPGROUND NAME: Barker
VISIT DATE: 06/02/2001
UPDATE DATE: 9/23/2020
STATE: Utah
REGION: Intermountain
RANGER DISTRICT: Escalante
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Escalante
RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
From Escalante, UT, take State Rt. 12 west 3.7 miles to Barker
Reservoir sign. Turn right after the sign onto a gravel road
(not marked) and go 0.1 miles to another Barker Reservoir sign
(Forest Rt. 149). Immediately after the sign, turn right onto Rt.
149 (gravel) and go 12 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear left,
staying on Rt. 149, and go 3.4 miles to campground.
NOTE: The last 3.4 miles of Forest Rt. 149 are steep, single-
lane, and switch-back with few turn-outs.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 9,500 ft.
The campground is a collection of four sections - Porter
Equestrian, Old Lady Young, Gates and Barker. Each section is
named for early settlers to the area. The Barker section has the
largest concentration of single family camp sites. Gates is the
smallest with one large site that can be for a single family when
not used by a group and is adjacent to the Barker section. The
Old Lady Young section is similar to Gates but near the Lower
Barker Reservoir. Porter Equestrian, located away from the other
sections, offers both single family and a large group camp site.
Each site in this section has hitching rails. All the camp sites
are in a stand of young and mature Aspen below the Barker
Reservoirs. Although the camp sites are RV friendly, the access
road (Forest Rt. 149) is not recommended for travel trailers and
large RVs. Ground-hugging understory of grass, wildflowers and
shrubs limit privacy between camp sites. As this is a new
campground (2001), understory will likely increase in time
providing more privacy. Each camp site has a bear-proof food
storage container. Some sites have a dutch oven pad. The
campground is pack it in, pack it out.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
There are several day-trip possibilities, two of which are:
- Driving from Escalante to Boulder, UT along State Rt. 12 to
enjoy the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument - awesome
views of navajo sandstone canyons.
- a drive down the graveled Hole in the Rock Road (east of
Escalante, UT off State Rt. 12) to Lake Powell. Enjoy the heart
of the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument. It is not
necessary to drive all the way to Lake Powell.

miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
NOTE: The road surface changes to gravel after first 3.5 miles
and becomes Forest Rt. 153 at Forest boundary (7.2 miles).
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,200 ft.
The campground (a.k.a. Posy Lake), located within walking
distance of Posey Lake, is configured as a large single loop
meandering up and around a hillside. The camp sites are nestled
among a pleasant mixture of conifer and Aspen trees. None of the
camp sites overlook the lake, but privacy between sites is
excellent. The lake is popular for anglers and canoers. The
narrow and partially eroded interior road, roadside trees, tight
turns, and reverse angle parking aprons make this a campground
not suitable for travel trailers and large motor homes. The
campground was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in
1935. It is pack it in, pack it out. Firewood is available for
a fee.
There are several day-trip possibilities, two of which are:
- Driving from Escalante to Boulder, UT along State Rt. 12 to
enjoy the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument - awesome
views of navajo sandstone canyons.
- a drive down the graveled Hole in the Rock Road (east of
Escalante, UT off State Rt. 12) to Lake Powell. Enjoy the heart
of the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument. It is not
necessary to drive all the way to Lake Powell.

UPDATE DATE: NOTE: 9/23/2020
STATE: Utah
REGION: Intermountain
RANGER DISTRICT: Powell
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Panguitch
RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
From Panguitch, UT, take US Rt. 89 south 6.1 miles to Bryce
Canyon National Park and State Rt. 12 signs. Turn left at signs
onto Rt. 12 and go 3.8 miles to campground sign. Turn right into
campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,400 ft.
The campground, located in Red Canyon adjacent to State Rt. 12,
is composed of two loops - A and B. The loops are separated by a
dry wash with some sites in both loops adjacent to the seasonal
Red Canyon Wash. Ponderosa pine and juniper provide shade to the
camp sites and the surrounding Red Canyon offers fantastic views.
Loop A is flatter with fewer shrubs while Loop B has many of the
camp sites located along a hillside and set deeper into the
trees. This Loop also has a few Douglas fir and a wide variety
of shrubs. Privacy between camp sites is excellent. Traffic
noise from Rt. 12 can be heard throughout the campground.
Although composed of the same Claron limestone formation as
nearby Bryce Canyon, Red Canyon is a deeper red. Butch Cassidy
was raised not to far from Red Canyon. It is said many of his
hideouts were located throughout the Canyon. In fact, it is
alleged one of his food storage locations is found along the
Arches Trail. Visit the Red Canyon Amphitheater in Loop B above
camp site 23. It was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps
(CCC) between 1933 and 1936 and is a designated historic site.
The campground is a good base camp to an extensive trail system
(most modes, i.e., foot, ATV, horse, etc.) in and out of Red
Canyon. Drop by the Forest Service Visitor Center 0.5 miles west
of the campground on State Rt. 12 and, among other things, obtain
brochures/maps on the trails. Visiting Bryce Canyon National
Park is a must day trip - it's only about 13 miles from the
campground.
While at the campground, consider hiking the Buckhorn Trail (foot
only). It departs out of Loop B and is rated by the Forest
Service as moderate to strenuous. The authors hiked it and found
the vegetation along the way and views of Red Canyon and the
distant mountains to the west absolutely fabulous. After about
0.3 miles, one has a choice to turn left or continue straight.
The authors continued straight which took them over a ridge line.
For some with a fear of heights, this might not be a good option.
For those who suffer such a malady, turning left seemed to be a
better choice.
