Trivia time! Which part of Utah contains the densest black bear and largest elk population? The Manti-La Sal National Forest, of course! How about this one: where does most of the coal mined in Utah come from? Well, 85% of it is mined right here in the Manti-La Sal. This special forest is full of natural surprises, like lofty mountaintops, lush meadows, cavernous sandstone canyons, plus plenty of water. If it sounds like there’s a ton of diversity here, that’s because there truly is! All of this diversity means that there’s a lot to do out here. Near Moab, the forest is home to the La Sal Mountains with their tall peaks and narrow canyons. To the north, on the Wasatch Plateau, you’ll be yearning for your next road trip along the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byways (also called the Energy Loop). And when it comes time to hit the hay at night? You guessed it—there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

We loved our time at Parker's beach site! We camped at Beach Site 1 and had a great time. Would recommend bringing bug spray, as we started to fight some mosquitoes after the sun went down, but beyond that, the night was great. Parker was a great host and was very responsive - We bought firewood from him and had a nice big fire in one of the big firepit bowls. The bathroom house was awesome, just a bit of a walk from the beach. Our sleep was excellent, and we had a great drive into SLC the next day. Would absolutely recommend camping here!

Directions were good site is very unique beautiful surroundings wide open space.
It gets pretty windy and at at dusk, we were dealing with a bunch of bugs. They didn’t sting, but there were lots of them.
There’s a bathroom and a shower. It’s fairly basic no hot water but of course you are very remote there.
Host was very responsive and informative.
Would definitely stay there again as it is so very unique to wake up and be on a beach!

I stayed here in the middle of the week and had the whole beach to myself!! I can see why some guests mention the wind, but regardless, the views are beautiful and I loved my time here. The host was also super communicative and let me stay on a different night than I originally booked.

2 nights at Sandy Beach
The property was more run down on the outside then the photos but we all know we post pictures at our best, lots of over grown prickly bushes which is a Yuba thing but the listing just doesn't reflect that so fyi. It was hot as Hades in that box when I arrived and there is a portable swamp cooler but it mostly just made it humid and smell funny so I turned it back off and just opened windows and the sliding door. I was happy to have a bed and not tent it, that was my goal and this fit that perfectly, but it's still "camping" so be realistic in expectations. Bathroom was a smidge further than I imagined, it's a walk back down the road and up a hill. There were outlets by the bed and bar top but I couldn't get anything to plug in, just would not insert, luckily the ones by the bed had a USB port and the charger I had worked for that. The view in the morning was amazing overlooking the lake and since I was there in August it cools down a lot at night with windows open. Overall it was pleasant. The listing also said wifi available but when I searched for a network none were found, not even password protected ones. Closest gas station is back towards nephi just FYI so no quick stop for snacks, do it on the way or plan for the outting.

We tent camping for 2 nights. Great place. Very big and spacious. Water fun and 4 wheelers camp type area. Sand everywhere. Stars at night are amazing. No shade, suggest bringing your own shade. (Canopy or open tent you can tie down) Careful of windy days. First day and night was very windy. My kids didn't care, they love being outside. Best thing to bring to counter the wind is a mosquito net head cover. Worked wonderfully to protext the eyes during the day and night. Paddle board rental available. Wood is available for a great deal for the size of wood you can choose.

The RV sites have lots of room, so you don’t feel like you are closed in. You are steps away from the water.

I had the most relaxing stay at Sandy Beach. This was such a hidden gem!! I was traveling on my own as a 28 year old girl and felt very safe. I met so many kind people, and Parker was an amazing host. I ended up extending my stay and hope to be back as soon as possible!

It is a great set up. You can have a campfire, it’s beautiful, soft sand, lake isn’t too cold, etc.
I would check the weather to make sure it’s not windy though or the fine sand will pelt you the whole time. It’s also a long walk to the bathroom.
Lake has a clay bottom it feels and you have to walk out awhile for it to get deep.

Beautiful spot to quiet the mind and refresh the soul. Potable water within a 5-min driving distance, electricity by solar power, and flushable toilet plus shower from tank water. The whole site is off grid and eco-friendly and right on a private beach. Can’t get any better!

Although the location I thought was relatively close to the Salt Flats, the view and location were still amazing. We pulled in fairly late, just as the sun was setting, got our tent set up, and chilled. Our car, unfortunately, wouldn't be able to travel away from the beach, so we parked it near the airstream sites with no issues. Would recommend and would look at staying again in the future.
