NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Heber City
RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
From Heber City, UT, take US Rt. 40 east 39.6 miles to Currant

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,000 ft.
The campground, located above Currant Creek Reservoir, is
comprised of four loops - A, B, C, and D. Loop A, wooded with
Aspen and Lodgepole pine trees, has the longest parking aprons
and is sunny with more open camp sites. Loop B is primarily for
groups, but unreserved camp sites are available for single family
campers. It has large grass areas for multiple tents and is
comprised of Aspen and sagebrush providing limited shade and
privacy. Loop C has both single family and equestrian camp sites.
The latter are located on the perimeter of the loop in mature Aspen
trees. Access to the equestrian camp sites are via loading ramp
(between sites 11 and 14) and trail that spans the rear of the
sites. Multiple rail stalls with feeding troughs are available
at each equestrian site. Loop D is densely wooded with Lodgepole
pine and Aspen trees. It is closest to the reservoir and is the
shadiest. It also has the shortest parking aprons. The
playground and Currant Creek Nature Trail and access to the
wheelchair friendly fishing pier are all from this loop.
Wildlife such as moose, deer, bear and mountain lions may visit
the campground. OHVs may be trucked into campground but not
offloaded in the campground. This is bear country; practice safe
food storage techniques.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,800 ft.
The campground is composed of four loops - Tree Army, Mess Hall,
Spike Camp, and Barracks. It is the former site of the Granite
Flat Camp F-5, established in 1933 as the first Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) camp in Utah. The campground, at the
edge of the Lone Peak Wilderness, has some great views of the
surrounding mountains in a pleasant blend of spruce, Aspen, and
other deciduous trees. Although some sites have little noonday
shade, a continuous breeze keeps things comfortable. A lush
understory and middlestory provide good privacy. A baseball
diamond, still used today, was built by the CCC enrollees of
Granite Flat Camp. Firewood is available for a fee.
A possible day trip is to the Timpanogos Cave National Monument,
which is west of the campground off State Rt. 92.

The campground is located in the shadow of the Wasatch Range in a
thick, pleasant grove of maple trees. Although the understory is
mainly grass, separation between camp sites provides good
privacy. Stonework of retaining walls and steps give this
campground a distinctive character. This is a rustic campground
with a semi-wilderness feel.

Turn right at sign into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,200 ft.
The campground, near the Lone Peak Wilderness, stretches out one
mile along the American Fork Creek with most camp sites adjacent
to the creek. The dense riparian-loving vegetation provides lots
of shade, but many sites are so close to one another, privacy is
poor. Opposite the creek is a towering granite rock cliff to
challenge rock climbers. While the campground does have combined
camp sites, it is better suited for tenters. Although the
campground runs parallel to State Rt. 92, little traffic noise is
heard.
A possible day trip is to the Timpanogos Cave National Monument,
which is west of the campground off State Rt. 92.

entrance is a single spur with a tight turnaround. Camp sites in
this section are tucked in among large Engelmann spruce. The
second section is straight ahead from entrance and composed of
two loops winding through a dense grove of maples. The
campground is tightly configured with narrow interior roads and
low overhanging branches. The camp sites are close together
providing minimal privacy. Cool temperatures, lots of shade and
good hiking make this a popular summer campground. The
campground is convenient to the BYU Alumni Campus, Sundance Ski

STATE: Utah
REGION: Intermountain
RANGER DISTRICT: Spanish Fork
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Payson
RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
In Payson, UT, at intersection of 100 North and 600 East, turn
onto 600 East (Mt. Nebo Scenic Byway) and go 12.9 miles to
campground sign. Turn right at sign and go 0.3 miles to
campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,000 ft.
The campground, just off the Mt. Nebo Scenic Byway, is composed
of three loops - A, B, and C. McClelland, Box and Big East Lakes
comprise the "Payson Lakes." Big East Lake is the only one
accessible from the campground. Loop A has no reserveable camp
sites - first come, first serve. It has a marshy area in the
center, an abundance of River willows and some Aspen. These
characteristics have a tendency to attract the most wildlife.
Loop B has slightly longer parking aprons and a nice mixture of
Aspen, fir, and spruce for shade. It has the campground's only
wheelchair friendly toilet. Although Loop C also has a mixture
of fir, Aspen, and spruce, shade is not as abundant as found in
the other loops. This loop is the closest to the day-use area
and has the greatest number of pull-throughs. Wild roses and
other wildflowers brighten all the loops and also contribute to a
heavy understory and middlestory. Privacy between camp sites is
excellent. Look for a paved walkway to Big East Lake.
NOTE: Entrance gate secured from 10PM to 7AM.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,200 ft.
The campground, located near the Mt. Nebo Wilderness and
alongside Salt Creek, is composed of two loops. One loop is
comprised mainly of Ponderosa pine planted in 1914. The other
loop contains mostly cottonwood and other deciduous trees. The
campground was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in
1933. It is quiet and attractive. The understory is grass with
a middlestory of maple trees and a mixture of shrubs. There is
good privacy between camp sites. A good day trip is a drive
along Mt. Nebo Scenic Loop Drive.

From Heber City, UT, take US Rt. 40 east 31 miles to Soldier
Creek campground sign. Turn right at sign and go 2.5 miles to
campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,600 ft.
The campground, located on the west side of Soldier Creek
Reservoir, is composed of four loops - Powder Keg, Flintlock,
Bivouac, and Gunsight. Powder Keg, closest to the boat ramp, is
the largest loop with some sites scattered in a grove of Aspen.
But most camp sites are in sagebrush dotted with young Lodgepole
pine and wildflowers. Many of the camp sites in this loop have
ramadas providing shade for at least the picnic tables.
Flintlock, close to the reservoir and across from the fish
cleaning station, has its camp sites located on hillsides in
sagebrush. The pull-throughs in this loop are very long.
Bivouac Loop is reserved for long-term rentals - call (435) 548-
2554 for more information; these camp sites are not included in the
site inventory. Gunsight Loop, located on a sagebrush-covered
bluff above the reservoir, is the closest to the water and has
the best views. Pitching tents in this loop may be limited
because of the dense sagebrush. Limited groceries, ice, bait,
gas, and boat rentals are available from the marina. Firewood is
also available for a fee.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

and go 0.6 miles to Loops A through E, 1.5 miles to Loop F and
1.7 miles to Loop G.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,600 ft.
The campground is composed of seven loops - A-Rainbow, B-
Cutthroat, C-Kokanee, D-Mayfly, E-Angler, F-Sage, and G-Swallow.
It is located on rolling sage and grass-covered hills, with few
trees and no shade, on Strawberry Bay Reservoir's west bank.
Loop A is set aside for "long-term" campers - call 435-548-2554
for more information; these camp sites are not included in the site
inventory. Loop B has the campground's only full hookups.
Loop C has a fish cleaning station, has more grass than
sage and is close enough to the reservoir for campers to tie up
their boats on the shore. Loop D's camp sites may have the most
scenic views of the reservoir and surrounding mountains. Loop E
is on a point with young Lodgepole pines which hint at possible
shade in the years to come. Similar to Loop C, Loop E has some
boat tie-up locations along the shore. Loops F and G are the
closest to the marina, boat ramp and docks.
There are views from most all the camp sites of the reservoir and
surrounding mountains. Some camp sites have ramadas with
windbreaks and some very long pull-throughs. Limited groceries,
ice, bait, gas, and boat rentals are available from the marina.
Firewood is available for a fee.

RESERVATIONS:1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
In American Fork, UT, at the intersection of US Rt. 89 (Main St.)
and State Rt. 74 (100E), take Rt. 74 north 3.9 miles to State Rt.
92. Turn right onto Rt. 92 and go 6.8 miles to Alpine and State
Rt. 144 signs. Bear right at signs, staying on Rt. 92, for
another 3.4 miles and a Timpooneke sign. Turn right at sign and
go 0.1 miles to campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,400 ft.
The campground, pack it in, pack it out, stretches up a hillside
along the South Fork of the American Fork River. The camp sites
are located in five widely spaced clusters. The first cluster is
to the left of the campground entrance in a stand of mature
Engelmann spruce. It is the smallest and straddles a creek. The
next cluster is a double camp site (#3) in Aspen. The third
cluster is off the trail head parking lot in spruce trees. The fourth
cluster has the shortest and widest parking aprons. These sites are
tucked in among mostly Aspen and a few spruce. The last cluster, sites
15-30, is the largest and most RV friendly. Many of the sites in this
cluster have little shade which results in unobstructed views of
the spectacular Mt. Timpanogas Wilderness' towering peaks. Other
camp sites in the fifth cluster are adjacent to the South Fork of
the American Fork River. One cluster, with sites 6-14, has been designed
for horse camping with corrals and two water troughs. Excellent base campground
for exploring the Timpanogos Wilderness. Firewood is available for a fee.

NOTE: Forest Service warns Canyon Rd. is a steep and winding road
that could be hazardous to RVs over 45 feet in total length.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,000 ft.
The campground, adjacent to Summit Creek, is a single loop on a
gentle slope through a pleasant mixture of firs, Aspen, and
deciduous trees. The towering cliffs of the Mt. Nebo Wilderness
can be seen from most of the camp sites. Although the creek
cannot be seen from the camp sites, it can be heard throughout
the campground. A thick middlestory of maple trees suggests a
colorful campground in the fall and good privacy between sites.
The campground is pack it in, pack it out. Firewood is available
for a fee.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

The campground circles the Vernon Reservoir with most camp sites
located on the northeast side. The surrounding hills are covered
with sagebrush and juniper but there is only grass vegetation
(and dirt) in the campground. Ramadas at each picnic table provide
the only shade. Although popular with anglers and ATV campers, the
campground is under maintained and has a forgotten appearance.
