Customer Reviews
Beautiful little lake! We drove up here during our stay in Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, and it was awesome. My husband enjoyed fishing here. The fish were surface feeding like crazy on blue dragonflies that day. We saw Canadian geese and ducks. We didn't stay at the campground but it seemed quiet. I highly recommend this little spot for a picnic lunch because it has many picnic benches that are in the shade.
A little rough for tent camping unless you like putting your tent on gravel, as many of the sites have slopes. Overall an excellent serene camping spot. The road to get there usually requires a high clearance vehicle.
Great campground that is well laid out. Vault toilets and water before it is shut off the end of Sept. You can walk from any site to access Posey Lake and fish if you like. Also easy access to a nice couple of hikes that start at the campground. Sites have fire ring and picnic tables. Some also have a grill also. Most sites are level for RV’s and have areas to pitch tents if tent camping. Cell service at some sites. One bar with T Mobile, not great but useable. Overall a great experience.
We loved this campground, we went camping on labor day weekend and the weather was beautiful. It was during a heat wave so unfortunately it was in the upper 80's during the day but that was way better the lower on the mountain in the 90-100 range. Evenings were amazing in the low 50s I think. Very comfortable, we stayed up late and took a lot of astrophotography the night skies are amazing being so remote. The camp ground is about 30 minutes from Escalante on a easy to navigate dirt/gravel round. No need for 4 wheel drive the road is level and well maintained. The campsite worked well for my 20' tent trailer when extended. One thing to note, if the 20 something campsites maybe 5 have a smaller than normal bear box that one fits a standard cooler. Unfortunately our site had a small
This place is beautiful. There's an awesome trail to a lookout tower above the lake. The campground was well maintained and the pit toilets were clean. The camp host, Don, was really approachable and kind. Big thanks to him for recommending the hike!
