Why Camp Here

North is the big Forest Service camp at Panguitch Lake, roughly 50 sites including doubles and three group sites, which makes it the one that can take a whole family caravan. The lake itself is about half a mile off, and the public ramps are at South Shore and Wildlife Point, so mornings start with a short drive rather than a walk down to the water. Flush toilets and drinking water are on site, and some single sites are held first come.

Tip: Troll mornings, hide from afternoon thunderstorms, repeat.
