About This Location

Experience high-altitude serenity at Ferron Reservoir. This primitive USFS campground on the Wasatch Plateau offers excellent fishing and mountain exploration.

Perched at an elevation of 9,539 feet just below the ridgeline of the Wasatch Plateau, Ferron Reservoir offers a rugged, high-altitude escape for outdoor enthusiasts. The campground sits directly alongside the reservoir, providing immediate access to prime alpine fishing and canoeing opportunities. The setting is quintessentially mountainous, surrounded by the scenic beauty of the Manti-La Sal National Forest and adjacent to the historical Indian Creek Guard Station.

This is a primitive federal campground managed by the USFS, offering a back-to-basics experience for those who enjoy self-sufficient camping. Facilities are minimal, featuring vault toilets and both single and group campsites. Because there are no utility hookups available, it is best suited for tent campers, van-lifers, and RV travelers who are fully equipped for off-grid conditions.

Visitors to Ferron Reservoir will find a peaceful atmosphere perfect for those looking to disconnect and explore local hiking trails. Whether you are planning a quiet family fishing trip or a group adventure in the high country, this site provides a beautiful, remote basecamp for experiencing the unique alpine terrain of Central Utah.
