Summary
There are no fees, toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups—campers must be fully self-contained and practice Leave No Trace. Accessible by high-clearance vehicles, the area features open high desert terrain with lake views and minimal shade. Popular for solitude, stargazing, and wildlife viewing, it's near the High Uintas Wilderness, with hiking and fishing opportunities nearby. Best visited late spring through fall when roads are dry and conditions mild. Ideal for experienced campers seeking a quiet, remote experience in Utah's scenic backcountry.

Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
