There are rattle snakes, bunnies, and we’ve seen a scorpion or two. *Weather - Summer days can be quite hot with cooler nights. There is no shade on the property. Wind gusts carrying dust can occur. It’s a good idea to check weather app for conditions. *Landscape/Views - Utah natural landscape changes markedly with the seasons. Some photos may reflect green grasses, when these dry out mid summer, they can produce fine stickers to be aware of with long hair pets, kids, and ankles in general. Views can change depending on developing neighboring properties. Sunsets either at the lake or the property are unobstructed and often dramatic. Night sky viewing is also pretty awesome as there is very little light pollution.

Weekend Trip to Sevier River RV Park/Themed Cabins

Rikki is the best host you could ask for. She was so welcoming and always available for anything you needed. The cabin was cozy and warm even in December when we went. There is two cabins nearby but set up in a way that you hardly notice them as they are facing the river. Lots of cute geese, ducks, and chicken running around. We will definitely be back!

Great place and had a fun time at the Garden cabin! Even for early december and winter conditions, the room was very warm and we had a comfortable time at night. The host was very helpful and responsive when we had questions about firewood and the property. Definitely recommend and would love to visit again in summer if I have a chance!

Weekend Trip to Wildland Gardens

We had a great time staying here! The barn was super cute, warm, and cosy, and the bathrooms were great. Our only complaint is that there were five large dogs running around off leash the entire time we were there. Of course they were friendly to me and my parents, but my own dog does not always do well with other dogs. I barely let him out because I didn't want him to meet five other large dogs, especially when the owner was not in sight. I am not sure if these dogs live on site or belonged to another guest, but we would have appreciated stricter rules about dogs being kept on leash (as my dog was).

Vey clean and well maintained RV park with level, spacious sites. Convenient access to the national parks in the area. Site manager is on-call. Very nice & clean laundry room that is open 24 hours with a code. My wife’s only criticism is that the park is right off of Hwy 24 and being a light sleeper, occasional loud vehicles woke her up. We would stay here again.

This site is located an a lovely farm and as it has only one site, you have complete privacy. The host was a very friendly gentleman who welcomed me on arrival and checked again on me in the morning but otherwise left me to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Although the water was turned off for the season, I did have electricity. I would definitely stay here again.

The wagon was adorable! We were worried it might be too cold, but there was a small space heater that kept us toasty with lows of ~25F. There was also an air conditioner that we didn’t use. The wagon has ceiling lights inside and a couple outlets. Due to the off season, the was not crowded at all and the bathrooms were really clean.

Tent camping at Sevier River's was so incredibly peaceful. It was a birding paradise and the lazy river right by our campsite lulled me right to sleep. It's close to the highway, but the road noise was minimal, especially at night. The managers were extremely friendly and helpful, and they brought us a delicious breakfast to our campsite in the morning (for a small additional charge). Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed this spot… It was just the quiet I needed an expansive beauty. Directions and communication were excellent. It was easy to find. I had read some reviews about it being windy and I got lucky and had no wind.! It was chilly… First ice on my windshield all season! There is another house right there which at first seems a little invasive, but actually it felt safer to me to know people were around as I was traveling solo. Thank you El Conejo!

From the beginning to the end, this was a lifechanging encounter. I was looking for a beautiful spot to camp off the interstate between las vegas and denver and was fortunate to find this gem of a spot! Rikki greeted me with a big hug and showed me around the property sharing stories of how she and her husband came to be there! I loved seeing the horses and underground greenhouse and the peacock greeted me in the evening too! Besides the beautiful energies of the hosts, the property itself feels so relaxing, the river running by the camp spots and cabins. I got to stay in "Margaritaville" and enjoy a fluffy bed and the sunset by the river. There are showers and laundry available and a DELICIOUS breakfast in the morning. I can not wait to bring my husband back and explore more. The time was short but WAY more than I thought I was signing up for. I highly recommend this spot. And will be back soon!! Thank you so much for creating this beautiful space to share!!

The best camping in Fishlake National Forest, UT guide

Overview

About

If you ever fly over the area, you realize that Fish Lake has a double meaning. Not only do fish live in the lake, but the lake is shaped like a fish. Scenic drives get you close to several natural wonders in this national forest.

Discover Pando, which sits 1 mile southwest of the lake. It's a clonal aspen forest. Scientists say it's the oldest and largest life-form on Earth. In the fall time, the aspens all turn their bright shade of yellow. Herds of elk scatter among the trees.

This area includes the forest around the lake, but the lake is the main attraction. Mountains rise sharply above the southeastern shore. Their tops are 1,000 feet above the lake surface.

Imagine a picture-perfect Swiss alpine retreat right here in America. A plateau borders the northwestern shore, completing this watery enclave. Anglers aim to catch trout and salmon here.

In winter time, snowmobiles replace boats along the lakeshore trails. Four campgrounds have plenty of accommodations.

Doctor Creek Campground

This is a little hidden Gem of a campsite off the main road and away from the road noise. Its is only about a mile walk to the lake and has standard bathrooms. The trees give ample shade to all the camp sites. I went during the middle of the pandemic summer in 2020 and didn't realize that it was listed on hipcamp until a year later even though I do use hipcamp to scope out campsites. The area is dog friendly on leash because the sites are semi-close together but with the pandemic, there were a few open sites between each occupied one. I had great "neighbors" and my dog and I watched the deer walked through camp in the morning and evening. Definitely would stay again. The camp hosts were very helpful as well.

Campsites are well kept and enough trees offer plenty of privacy between campsites. You are a 3-5 min walk from the water. It’s beautiful.

Bowery Creek Campground

We camped here at the end of August and it was extremely quiet. This campground had a ton of sites and is not normally where we would stay, but it was a family affair. It turned out great. The sites were pretty small, but very picturesque. Because people in our party had RV's, we camped close to the bottom of the hill. It was easy walking to the dock (we had a boat), camp store and water. If you are tent camping, there were some pretty sites at the top of the campground that looked much more secluded. Even though it was August, it was VERY cold at night. In fact, it hailed one day! Take warm clothes! Supposedly there is one weekend in July when they have a Mormon celebration and it's packed. Also-flush toilets & running water.

Mackinaw Campground

This is a nice spot to view fall aspen color. By later September the lodge and most all other campgrounds had shut down; this one only had a couple loops open and the showers were off. It too would shut down by first snow. No one even collected payment, and only three sites were occupied. There were more deer than campers, and the whole lake area was empty save a few hunters. Yet the aspens were gorgeous. Sneak in late as you can if you want your own lake and campground, and great fall colors.
