Lake Hill Campground


Area Status: Open

Lake Hill Campground is situated next to pretty Lake Hill Reservoir just five miles from Ephraim, Utah, elevation 8,400 feet. A mixed forest of spruce, fir, and aspen covers the area, offering partial shade in most sites. Some are more exposed than others. Summer wildflowers and wildlife are abundant. Canoeing and rainbow trout fishing are popular activities on the small man-made reservoir.

This campground contains two group sites: #1 can accommodate up to 30 people and eight vehicles, with one large picnic table, serving table, utility table, fire ring, and potable water spigot; #2 can accommodate up to 75 people and eight vehicles, with large picnic tables, a serving table, BBQ grill, fire ring with benches, and potable water spigot. Site #2 has lake views. Additional single-family sites are available as well, with picnic tables, fire rings, and BBQ grills, but no lake views. Vault toilets and potable water are provided. Roads and parking spurs are dirt.

The surrounding area is a haven for ATV enthusiasts. Several trails crisscross the region, making up part of the 350+ miles of the exciting Arapeen OHV Trail System. Jimmies Fork Trail and the Great Basin Experimental Trail begin nearby, offering hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding opportunities. The self-guided Great Basin Experimental Range Auto Tour runs along Ephraim Canyon, offering a glimpse into the history and workings of one of North America's oldest range research sites.
