Eight sites tucked among large trees and shrubs make up this first-come, first-serve campground beside Little Reservoir. The forested setting provides natural privacy between sites, though campers arriving late may find themselves next to the vault toilet near the entrance road.
Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and access to potable water throughout the campground. The reservoir offers fishing opportunities, with several reviewers noting that float tubes work best for reaching productive waters. Grazing cattle roam the area, so campers should secure food from both livestock and the bold chipmunks that frequent campsites. Marisa P. notes the squirrels "are fearless to jump right into your stuff."
This pack-in, pack-out facility requires campers to haul their trash to dumpsters located a couple miles down the road. Site 8 draws recommendations for its size and proximity to restrooms. Water service may be shut off during shoulder seasons, and firewood can be purchased at nearby Little Cottonwood Campground. Day use costs $5 for those not staying overnight.
Campers seeking full hookups can explore campgrounds around Beaver eight miles west, while Mahogany Cove Campground sits just over half a mile north for those wanting developed amenities.
