rails, corrals and a loading platform. The non-equestrian
section curves around a large trail head parking area. Most of
the campground sites are nestled in a thick stand of Lodgepole
pine. The campground, about 0.5 miles from the northern side of
the High Uinta Wilderness, was constructed under a partnership
with local organizations and the Forest Service.

campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,200 ft.
The campground, sandwiched between the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway
and Provo River, is composed of two unnamed loops in a dense
stand of spruce, Lodgepole pine and White fir. Separation
between camping sites is good and along with heavy grass
understory and middlestory, makes privacy very good. Although the
entire campground is attractive, the loop to the right of the
entrance is especially pleasant mainly because of the dense
vegetation and shade. The flow of the Provo River diminishes
considerably as the summer progresses, limiting fishing
opportunities. Wildlife viewing is possible.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

Lake in Lodgepole pine. It is composed of two unnamed loops.
The loop to the left of the campground's entrance contains longer
parking aprons, but they are narrower than the aprons found in
the loop on the right. Most camping sites either are adjacent to
or have a view of the lake. Although Marsh Lake was built for
irrigation purposes, it is rarely drained and provides a scenic
backdrop to the campground. There is no understory and little
middlestory providing minimum privacy between camping sites.
West Marsh Lake campground is located across the lake.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

DIRECTIONS:
From Mountain View, WY, take State Rt. 414 east 21.5 miles to
Lonetree, WY. Just passed mile marker 122 on Rt. 414, turn right
onto County Rt. 290 (oiled gravel) and go 0.9 miles to an
intersection (County Rt. 291). Turn left onto Rt. 291 and go 5
miles to a "T" intersection. Turn right and go 2.8 miles to a
"Y" intersection and Hoop Lake sign (Forest Rt. 078). Bear left
at sign onto Rt. 078 and go 3.8 miles to another "Y"
intersection. Bear right and go 0.3 miles to campground.
NOTE: When County Rt. 291 crosses into Utah to the "T"
intersection, the road surface becomes native dirt, rutted and
single-lane with no turn-outs. From the "T" intersection on to
the campground, the road is again single-lane, rocky and rough.
Bring spare tire and changing tools. The last few miles of the
access roads are not RV friendly.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,900 ft.
The campground, attractive and physically located in Utah, is
composed of two unnamed loops. One is found in the upper portion
of the campground along the side of a hill in a dense stand of
Lodgepole pine and Aspen. Many of the sites overlook Hoop Lake
and some are adjacent to grassy meadows well suited for family
gatherings. Because of the dense vegetation in this loop,
privacy is very good between camping sites. The second loop or
lower portion is located across the earthen dam adjacent to the
lake and boat ramp. All the sites in this loop are in the open
with unobscured views of the lake.
Hoop Lake is used for irrigation meaning the water level will
decrease considerably during the course of the summer. The High
Uinta Wilderness is 0.5 miles from the campground.

In Oakley, UT, at intersection of State Rt. 32 and Weber Canyon
Rd., take Weber Canyon Rd. east 11.9 miles to Smith and Morehouse
Recreation Area sign. Turn right at sign onto gravel road and go
3.9 miles to campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,000 ft.
This attractive campground is composed of two sections -
Ledgefork 1 and Ledgefork 2. Ledgefork 1 loops and winds through
a dense forest of spruce and fir trees. Most of the camping
sites are nestled well into the trees and enjoy excellent
privacy. Ledgefork 2, although dotted by spruce and fir trees,
has a more open feel with sites next to meadows and in stands of
Lodgepole pine and Aspen. Both Smith-Morehouse and Box Elder
Creeks flow through the campground. Camping sites 37 through 39
and 51 through 54 are on dead-end spurs with no turnarounds.
Firewood is available for a fee.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 9,900 ft.
The campground, attractive and one of several along the Mirror
Lake Scenic Byway, is a single loop around an Engelmann spruce
and Lodgepole pine covered knoll between Lilly and Teapot Lakes.
Most sites either are adjacent to or have a view of one of the
lakes or a Lilly-covered pond. Because of road-hugging trees and
tight turns, large RVs could have a problem negotiating the
campground's interior road. Wildlife viewing is possible.

Blacks Fork Access sign (County Rt. 271). Turn left at sign onto
Rt. 271 and go 13.1 miles to the forest boundary. Here, Rt. 271
becomes Forest Rt. 058. Continue on Rt. 058 for 5.9 miles to a
"Y" intersection. Bear right, staying on Rt. 058, and go 2.4
miles to an intersection. Turn right at intersection, continuing
on Rt. 058, and then immediately left onto Forest Rt. 070 for
0.5 miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
NOTE: County Rt. 271 becomes an excellent dirt and gravel road in
1.7 miles. After 2.3 miles, Forest Rt. 058 changes from a smooth
dirt and gravel surface to rough and rocky.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 9,300 ft.
This is a sweet little campground that is physically located in
Utah and set above the natural Little Lyman Lake. Most of the
camping sites have a view of the lake and are among Lodgepole
pine. Wildlife viewing and frequent sightings of Osprey and
ducks make this a nice campground to just sit back and enjoy.
The drive to the campground is scenic especially in the Fall when
the Aspen leaves begin to change color.

there is little to no middlestory, enjoy good privacy. The
campground is convenient to a number of glacier-carved lakes,
such as Washington, Trail and Lilly, which are the headwaters for
Provo, Weber and Bear Rivers. Traffic noise from State Rt. 150
is sometimes evident throughout the campground. Two camping
sites have a view of Lost Lake which is used for irrigation
purposes. Wildlife viewing is possible from the campground.

provide good privacy between sites. Given excellent access
roads, large pull-throughs and double sites, the campground is
well suited for large RVs. The reservoir is used for irrigation
which results in a receding water level during the course of the
summer.

and go 0.5 miles to campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 10,200 ft.
The campground, one of several along the Mirror Lake Scenic
Byway, is composed of two sections - one for equestrian campers
and the other for non-equestrian campers. It is located above
the natural Mirror Lake, considered by some to be the most
beautiful mountain lake in Utah. The equestrian section is a
single loop through a spruce and rock-covered area. Some of the
sites have feed troughs but none have open space for corrals.
The non-equestrian section is large with five unnamed loops.
Some of the camping sites are terraced and all enjoy spruce and
fir-produced shade. Some of the sites in this section enjoy a
view of the lake. Every site in the campground has a fire ring
but no grilles. Instead, a pedestal cook stove platform (like
for a Coleman stove) is provided. Privacy between camping sites
is minimal. Interpretive programs are provided on the weekends
during the summer.
In the 1940s, the campground was the site of the Mirror Lake
Lodge with restaurant and cabins. It was a popular destination
resort until the 1960s when business began to fall off. The
lodge stayed open until 1976 when fire destroyed it.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

fir and other conifers. The pull-throughs tend to be tightly
configured. This is a pretty campground with excellent vistas of
the surrounding mountains. Although some sites are missing
grills, all have fire rings. Wildlife viewing is possible.

Turn right at sign into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,300 ft.
NOTE: The Campground was under renovation at time of visit;
information provided by the Salt Lake Ranger District office.
The campground, composed of two unnamed sections, is heavily
wooded with mature spruce and fir and young Aspen trees in Big
Cottonwood Canyon. The section closest to highway has three
overlapping loops. The campsites in this section appear closer
together than those in the other section. The other section is
located across Big Cottonwood Creek and has two large loops. The
campground is considered "less popular" because it has a more
"rustic" feel than other campgrounds in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
It might be one of the better campgrounds for tent campers.
Located between the Solitude and Brighton Ski resorts where
mountain biking is permitted, this campground has the potential
of being discovered by "fat tire" enthusiasts. There are
numerous hiking trails nearby but none are at the campground.
Each campsite has a fire ring but no grilles. While not
included, there are campsites that will accommodate large, 50-
plus camper groups; contact the Ranger District office for more
information.
NOTE: Except for seeing-eye and companion (licensed) dogs, dogs
are not permitted in the campground.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,200 ft.
The campground, one of several along the Mirror Lake Scenic
Byway, stretches along the Provo River and State Rt. 150 with
most camp sites adjacent or overlooking the river. The campground
entrance is shaded by a dense stand of mature spruce which soon
gives way to Lodgepole pine and Aspen trees. The sites are
widely spaced providing good privacy between sites. Traffic
noise from the lightly traveled Rt. 150 can be heard throughout
the campground. Although not classified as a seasonal or
intermittent waterway, the flow of the Provo River does slow
during the summer which limits fishing opportunities. The area
is considered a moose habitat, which might offer some sightings.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

DIRECTIONS:
In Kamas, UT, at the intersection of State Rt. 32 (Main St.) and
State Rt. 150 (Center St.), take Rt. 150 (Mirror Lake Scenic
Byway) east 9.6 miles to campground sign. Turn right into
campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,500 ft.
The campground, one of several along the Mirror Lake Scenic
Byway, is comprised of a single large loop. About half of the
camping sites are adjacent to an Aspen-dotted meadow. The other
half are tucked into a stand of mixed conifers. Because of the
nice level camping sites and long pull-throughs, the campground
is a convenient overnight stop. Beaver Creek flows nearby and
while it provides excellent wildlife viewing and plant-life
exploring, fishing opportunities are limited. The campground was
named for an 1870s shingle mill that operated nearby.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

Recreation Area sign. Turn right at sign onto gravel road and go
1.8 miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,700 ft.
The campground, located below the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir,
is composed of two loops and a spur with a loop turnaround. The
spur winds down a hillside from a dense stand of fir and spruce
past an open meadow to a stand of Lodgepole pine. The bottom of
this spur has the campground's longer parking aprons. One of the
loops is nearest the dam and fairly open with Aspen and a few
conifers. The second loop is between the spur and loop nearest
the dam and circles through a pleasantly mixed stand of conifers
and Aspen. Throughout the entire campground, the tables and
grilles are anchored in an asphalt pad which is often an
extension of the parking apron. The campground is open enough to
provide views of the surrounding mountains and wooded enough to
provide good privacy for most sites. Firewood is available for a
fee.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,800 ft.
The campground, one of several along the Mirror Lake Scenic
Byway, is composed of two loops and a spur between State Rt. 150
and the Provo River. Between a pleasant mixture of Aspen, mixed
conifers, wild roses and willow bushes and good separation
between sites, the camping sites enjoy good privacy. However,
traffic noise from Rt. 150 is evident throughout the campground.
Several resident moose keep an eye on the campers. There is a
dike, constructed during the 1960s to protect the campground from
flooding, in the back of the eastern side of the campground.
Take a stroll along the dike and view the wildlife. The
intermittent flow of the river inhibits fishing opportunities.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
In Salt Lake City, UT, at the intersection of State Rt. 210
(Wasatch Blvd.) and State Rt. 190 (Big Cottonwood Cyn), take Rt.
190 east 10 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign into
campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,400 ft.
The campground is composed of two unnamed sections informally
referred to as upper and lower. The lower section is comprised
of a loop and spur and is smaller than the upper section. This
section meanders through a denser stand of conifers and includes
a babbling brook. The parking aprons are shorter in the lower
section. The upper section has more open sites, longer parking
aprons and mature Aspen. Some of the camping sites in the upper
section are along Big Cottonwood Creek among some spruce and fir
trees. A few of the sites have no grilles but all have fire
rings. The sites in the upper section are well spaced and along
with a pleasantly thick understory and middlestory, privacy
between sites is excellent.
The tables and fire rings are anchored in an asphalt apron and
not all sites have tent pads. The campground is adjacent to
State Rt. 190, traffic noise from which can be distracting.
Mountain biking is available at the nearby Solitude and Brighton
ski resorts. A "resident" moose might be seen keeping an eye on
the campers. A ballfield, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits,
fishing and hiking make this an ideal campground for families.
NOTE: Except for seeing-eye and companion (licensed) dogs, dogs
are not permitted in the campground.

Turn right at sign into campground.
NOTE: In 8.6 miles, after passing the forest sign, the road
becomes Forest Rt. 072. The road surface then becomes gravel and
dirt and rough in places.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,600 ft.
The campground, physically located in the Dead Horse ATV Trail
area of Utah and located on a bluff above the Stateline
Reservoir, is composed of one large loop with several lattice
interior roads crossing through the loop. Young Lodgepole pines
and Aspen provide minimal shade to camping sites. Some sites
have a view of the reservoir but others on the lattice-like
interior roads back up to one another giving these sites no
privacy. The reservoir is for irrigation which may cause the
water level to decrease during the summer.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 10,000 ft.
The campground, one of several along the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway
and on the northeastern shore of Washington Lake, is comprised of
a single loop dotted with Lodgepole pine. Although none of the
camping sites have a grille, each has fire ring and a pedestal
stand for a cook stove. Many of the sites are adjacent to or
overlook the lake. Washington Lake is used for irrigation which
may cause the water level to decrease during the course of the
summer. Wildlife viewing is possible.
The campground opened in 2000 and has that "raw" appearance which
should mellow with time. The fire ring, table and pedestal grille
are anchored in cement and adjacent to the parking aprons. For most
of the camping sites, the tent pad is well away, often below, the
parking apron. The rocky surface will make pitching a tent off
the provided tent pads mostly prohibitive.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

Forest Rt. 072. The road surface then becomes gravel and dirt and
rough in places.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,900 ft.
The campground, physically located in the Dead Horse ATV trail
head area of Utah, stretches out along the western shore of Marsh
Lake in Lodgepole pine and meadows. Most sites either are
adjacent to or have a view of the lake. A Lily pad covered pond
is located in the campground near site #27. Although Marsh Lake
was built for irrigation purposes, it is rarely drained and
provides a scenic backdrop to the campground. There is no
understory and little middlestory providing minimum privacy
between camping sites. East Marsh Lake campground is located
across the lake.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

STATE: Utah
REGION: Intermountain
RANGER DISTRICT: Kamas
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Kamas
RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
In Kamas, UT, at the intersection of State Rt. 32 (Main St.) and
State Rt. 150 (Center St.), take Rt. 150 (Mirror Lake Scenic
Byway) east 6.8 miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into
campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,200 ft.
The campground, one of several along the Mirror Lake Scenic
Byway, is composed of two unnamed loops in an interesting mixture
of Ponderosa and Lodgepole pine, Gamble oak and juniper. There
are also Aspen trees and Manzanita and Elderberry shrubs.
Although the camping sites are widely spaced, the lack of
middlestory restricts privacy to fair. Rocky ground at the
camping sites can make pitching a tent somewhat of a challenge.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
