Avintaquin Campground

Perched at an impressive elevation of 8,982 feet, Avintaquin Campground offers a peaceful retreat atop the scenic Indian Canyon. Located just off Highway 191 between Duchesne and Helper, this USFS-managed site is a gateway to the high-country beauty of the Southwest. The surrounding landscape is defined by its rugged, elevated terrain, providing visitors with exceptional opportunities for wildlife viewing and immersion in the quiet solitude of the forest.

This campground serves as a primary access point for the Reservation Ridge Scenic Backway, a dirt road that is perfect for off-road enthusiasts, mountain bikers, and hikers looking to explore the expansive vistas of the region. Whether you are navigating the nearby trails or simply enjoying the crisp mountain air, the area is ideal for those who prefer a rustic, off-the-grid experience.

Facilities at Avintaquin are designed for simplicity and comfort in a natural setting. The campground provides essential amenities including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. Because this is a primitive federal campground with no hookups available, it is best suited for tent campers and self-contained RV travelers who enjoy dispersed-style camping and are prepared for a true outdoor adventure.
