Press Release

Those who enjoy camping with friends and relatives will love the new Lake Canyon Group B site located in the popular Lake Canyon Recreation Area just off Utah Highway 31 at its junction with the Miller Flat Road.

This group site was constructed in 2017 to mitigate some of the group camping capacity lost in Huntington Canyon following the 2012 Seeley Wildfire.

The Group B site can accommodate up to 80 people and 15 vehicles and is available for reservation on www.recreation.gov from June 1 to Sept. 30, 2018 for $50 per night. The group site features a vault toilet facility, picnic tables, a fire ring, Dutch oven fire pan and spacious parking.

There are five other group sites and four individual sites that can be reserved up to 360 days in advance. All other campsites in Lake Canyon are on a first-come, first served basis for $5 per vehicle. Reservable sites are also available at the same rate if not reserved.

The Lake Canyon Recreation Area is near Cleveland, Huntington and Rolfson Reservoirs. It includes the Lake Canyon multiple-use trail system. The trails are great for ATVs, motorcycles, walking, and bicycles. The Lake Canyon area has three learners loops that provide an opportunity for beginning ATV riders to improve their skills while riding in easy terrain.

Further information on the Lake Canyon Recreation Area can be obtained by going to www.recreation.gov, on the Manti-La Sal National Forest website, or by contacting Forest Service offices in Ferron, Price or Ephraim.
