Our Take
What makes Ferron Reservoir Campground Ferron North special
At roughly 9,500 feet on the Wasatch Plateau, Ferron Reservoir Campground feels like the top of the world, and in many ways it is. This alpine basin campground sits just below the ridgeline in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, surrounded by open meadows, scattered stands of spruce and fir, and the kind of big-sky views that make you forget about everything waiting back in the valley. The reservoir itself is the centerpiece, a shimmering high-country lake stocked with trout that draws anglers from across central Utah. Small boats and float tubes work well here, and the fishing can be excellent in the early mornings when mist still hangs over the water. Beyond the lake, the surrounding plateau offers miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, with wildflower displays that peak in July. Because of the elevation, the season here is short but sweet. Snow can linger into June and return by early October, so plan your visit for July through mid-September for the most reliable conditions. Nights are genuinely cold even in summer, so come prepared with warm sleeping gear. Sites accommodate both tents and smaller RVs, and the campground fills up on holiday weekends. Arrive early or visit midweek to claim the best spots in this spectacular high-altitude retreat.
