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.

3 nights at Pine Creek Cabins

Very Peaceful stay & AMAZING views. Because of this we took a day to just rest and enjoy the peacefulness and views. We had friendly beautiful horses behind us and Hosts were very accommodating. The WiFi didn't work maybe because it didn't reach on top of the hill where the RVs park. I didn't complain because my T-Mobile service worked most of the time and I was there to "Not" work. Note** the trails are not walking trails they are for OHVs but the camp grounds are still peaceful to walk.

1 night at Bullion Falls Trading Post And Camp

If you like a challenging drive to the campsite, then this is for you. The last uphill stretch might be difficult if in muddy conditions. The wind chime seemed to have kept all animals and birds away. There was fire that ravaged the mountain on one side of the site. Didn’t stay the night due to the wind chime constantly making noise.
