Panguitch Lake
When planning a camping trip for our group of eight family members, we were hoping for a peaceful, stress-free weekend. Things started off well—the host was incredibly accommodating a the Panguitch Lake North Campground and even saved us three spots that morning before our arrival when one of my daughters came that morning. We were warmly welcomed and given helpful information. The sites were conveniently located near the restrooms and initially seemed perfect.
Unfortunately, our experience quickly soured due to a long-term camper in site #9. This individual appeared to take it upon herself to enforce campground rules, often aggressively and without any authority. Early in the day, I witnessed her yelling at a passing truck to “slow down,” despite the vehicle not appearing to be speeding. I brushed it off at the time.
Later that evening, around 9:45 PM, my adult daughter and her boyfriend were walking back from the restroom when the camper emerged from her tent and began shouting, “Go to bed, it’s quiet time!” My daughter calmly responded that they were heading to bed, but the camper continued to yell. My son, in site #8, intervened and asked her to mind her own business. She then radioed security.
Around 10:20 PM, we heard two kids giggling as they walked by, and once again, the camper yelled at them. Their parents also expressed concern about her aggressive behavior. Security came by, and we explained the situation. As experienced campers, we understand and respect quiet ho

Such a nice, comfortable campground. Our “Stargazer” group has been going to this campground for 10 years. Last year was not good because the camp hosts were intrusive, rude, and continually entering our camp sites. (We usually have a group of around 20 people at multiple sites.). This year we returned to White Bridge only because we learned that last year’s hosts had been replaced. I’m delighted to report that Ron and Gina, who are hosting this year are absolutely great! They are welcoming, personable, and respectful of the fact that we were on vacation. They kept the facilities immaculate and the entire campground nice and clean. We appreciated them so much that we invited them over for our big, annual smoked Turkey dinner.

Nice campground. Lots of trees. Some spaces are small & close to the main campground road. Sites 18 & up are for tent use only. Definitely worth a check out.

I've been camping at Panguitch Lake since I was a kid. The fishing is some of the best in the area. We camped last summer at Panguitch North Campground for 11 nights. With our America The Beautiful pass (seniors over 62 years old) the rate was $11 per night. There are no hookups. Nearest dump station is outside of the campground, about a mile down the main road. We stayed at site #39. It is close to the restroom and water spigot and is spacious, with views of the lake. There are several hiking trailheads inside the campground. Panguitch Lake General Store is just across the road from the campground, for gas, propane, bait, groceries, ice and laundry. Next to the store is the Burger Barn, handsdown the BEST food on the mountain!

We loved our time at King Creek Campground in Dixie National Forest! The campground is a short drive from Bryce Canyon National Park without any of the crowds. It was the perfect base camp for all of our adventures.
We stayed at King Creek for 3 days (Tuesday - Thursday) in early June. The campground is first come, first serve and we had plenty of campsites to choose from. Our campsite was spacious and included a water spigot, picnic table, and fire ring. There are communal bathrooms that are minimal, but clean.
The campground has easy access to trails and dirt roads within Dixie National Forest. There's also access to Tropic Reservoir, which is a small lake. You can go hiking, mountain biking, ATV riding, fishing, swimming and boating.

Recommend coming to this site during the day, it is located through winding roads. Watch for wild life when driving. There is a beautiful fishing lake nearby with a man made path across the lake.

We stayed here for 3 nights in June/July. Very nice and comfortably cool at night and morning due to elevation, so you will need your sleeping bags. Water spigot had a boil alert because the water had not been tested. This was a hassle, because who wants to boil water using precious stove fuel, put it in a water bottle, and then hike in 90+ degree heat? If you drive in with your own drinking water, it is less of a deal. We expected drinking water from the website, and we had to find alternative spots for water. The fishing was very good. The drive was far from Escalante on a dirt road - good to have a pickup, but watch the dust in your bed even with topper - we used our tent tarp to cover everything.

Our family's favorite place to camp. Beautiful scenery, good fishing, small village nearby if you want to get ice cream or supplies. Many cool sites to see like Mammoth Cave, Cascade Falls, Lava Fields are a must see. Only 45 minutes from Bryce Canyon NP, and 45 minutes from Zion NP. Love it!

So this area is one of my favorites to go to. I technically don't camp in the actual Deer Haven campground area (although it's a cool spot!), instead I follow the main Webster Flat dirt road to the right (where the "Dead End" sign is) and pull off into an area back in here. It's wide open, gorgeous, and not many people actually indulge in this hidden gem. I love it! Also - the fall colors are absolutely ridiculous around October-November (weather depending)!

In the fall season this campground is absolutely gorgeous. I have been here a few times, including in the winter to hammock camp while it was snowing. Right off the hwy so you'll definitely hear the traffic but not a bad spot overall!

I made the one mile round trip trek off the Virgin River Rim Trail to stop here for lunch/a break while backpacking. It really is a great location right on Navajo Lake and is absolutely beautiful in the fall! It was closed (as are most designated campgrounds in this area once Labor Day passes), but I was still able to enjoy a good 30 minute silent break before hitting the trail again!

I stopped here after the first leg of my Virgin River Rim Trail backpacking trek. After hiking alone for about 12 miles that day I was definitely need of some rest. It does close after Labor Day, however that doesn't mean you can't snag a spot still (this is what I did, unaware that it would be closed). With that in mind, the water source is obviously off and bathrooms are locked at this point as well. Beautiful area overall and the Virgin River Rim Trail section that cuts through/by it is gorgeous!
