Huntington Canyon Recreation Area

Nestled along the Huntington Canyon Scenic Byway, this federal campground offers a gateway to the stunning landscapes of the Wasatch Plateau. As part of the National Scenic Byway known as the Energy Loop, the site is surrounded by the vast terrain of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Visitors are treated to dramatic views of mountain peaks and deep valleys that tell the rich story of the region's Mormon pioneer history.

This site provides a rustic, off-grid experience within a year-round recreation area. As a primitive location managed by the USFS, it does not feature formal hookups or listed amenities, making it an ideal choice for self-sufficient campers who prefer a more rugged, back-to-basics approach to the outdoors. Because of the limited facilities, it is best suited for experienced tent campers and RV travelers who are well-prepared for dispersed-style camping.

Whether you are traversing the byway for its historic significance or seeking a quiet spot to connect with nature, this campground serves as a peaceful basecamp. The moderate experience level required ensures that those who appreciate solitude and natural beauty will find plenty to enjoy in this high-altitude mountain setting.
