About this campground

Twelve Mile Flat Campground

Twelve Mile Flat Campground is a remote camping area located in the heart of Utah's Dixie National Forest. The campground is situated at an elevation of 7,500 feet and is surrounded by stunning views of the forest and nearby peaks. The area is known for its excellent hiking trails and fishing opportunities, with nearby attractions including the Pine Valley Reservoir, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and Bryce Canyon National Park.

The campground offers basic amenities, including pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings. There are no hookups or showers available, but potable water is provided. The campground is first-come-first-serve and has 25 campsites available.

An interesting fact about the area is that the campground is named after the Twelve Mile Flat, a large meadow located nearby. The meadow was once a popular grazing spot for cattle and horses.

The best time of year to visit is from June to September when temperatures range from 70-90°F during the day and 40-60°F at night. However, it's important to note that the campground is only accessible by dirt road, and snow can make the road impassable in the winter months.

Overall, Twelve Mile Flat Campground offers a great opportunity for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy the natural beauty of Utah's Dixie National Forest.
