Why Camp Here
This is a small canyon-bottom camp, not a destination resort, and the appeal is sleeping inside the sound of moving water at 7,600 feet. The location is genuinely central for this side of the Wasatch Plateau: Huntington Reservoir is about five miles off, Electric Lake about nine, and Joes Valley about fourteen. That makes it a reasonable single basecamp if you want to fish several different waters in one trip without moving camp. Book through recreation.gov, since the season here is short.
Tip: Left fork creek is a wild-trout pocket-water gem.
