Pelican Lake Campground

Pelican Lake Campground offers a quintessential primitive camping experience in the heart of Southwest Utah. Set at an elevation of 4,822 feet, this BLM-managed site provides a rugged, back-to-basics atmosphere perfect for those looking to disconnect and enjoy the expansive desert landscape. With 11 individual campsites and two group areas available on a first-come, first-served basis, it is an ideal destination for travelers who appreciate solitude and authentic outdoor living.

The campground is designed for self-sufficient campers, whether you are tent camping or bringing an RV. While the site does not offer utility hookups, it provides essential amenities including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. The area is particularly well-regarded for its direct fishing access, making it a great spot for anglers to spend a quiet weekend by the water.

Visitors should be prepared for a truly remote experience, as the campground requires you to be physically present to claim and pay for your site. Payments can be handled via the Recreation.gov app or the on-site Iron Ranger. This location is best suited for experienced campers who value nature over modern conveniences and are ready to enjoy the year-round beauty of the Utah wilderness.
