Our Take
What makes Cleveland Reservoir Campground special
Sitting high atop the Wasatch Plateau along Utah's scenic Energy Loop Byway, Cleveland Reservoir Campground offers a refreshing mountain escape from the desert valleys below. Located about 18 miles east of Fairview and accessible from the town of Ferron, this campground rests beside a picturesque reservoir surrounded by dense stands of aspen, spruce, and fir that feel a world apart from the red rock country Utah is often known for. The reservoir itself is a popular destination for trout fishing, with rainbow and cutthroat trout regularly stocked and eager to take a fly or lure. Small boats with electric motors are welcome, making for peaceful mornings on the water as mist rises off the surface. The surrounding Manti-La Sal National Forest provides a network of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, and wildlife sightings are common. Keep an eye out for mule deer, elk, and the occasional moose browsing the meadow edges at dawn and dusk. The campground is best enjoyed from late June through September, as the high elevation means snow can linger well into spring and return early in fall. Summer days are pleasantly warm with cool nights that call for a good sleeping bag. Sites are available on a mix of first-come, first-served and reservable basis, and weekends fill quickly once word gets around about the fishing. The Energy Loop drive itself is worth the trip, winding through some of central Utah's most underappreciated high country.
