Washington Lake Campground

Overall great experience, so here’s a summary: 🚽: probably the best smelling outhouses I’ve ever used. Kind of a weird comment, but it makes a difference—not wanting to vomit while going to the bathroom like at mirror lake. 🐶it can be hard to find dog friendly campsites, but it was super nice that this area is really open to dogs. 💦: there’s no water, but there are comfort/water stations close...

And the cement pads surrounding the fire were pretty big. Oh! And the little stands for your camp ovens. So cool. 🛶: the lake was really nice and serene. Some paddle boarders, some fishers. 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️: the camp hosts were super friendly and nice.

If you're looking for one of the most scenic campgrounds in the Uintah mountains, Washington Lake does not disappoint! With only 39 campsites, you can avoid the crowds that Mirror Lake draws (Sooo many people . . .) Paved sites with many having beautiful views of the lake and big enough to accommodate even large RVs. We stayed in site 19 (a double) and easily shared with our friends - we have a 26...

We stayed in site 19 (a double) and easily shared with our friends - we have a 26' trailer and they have a 28' trailer. The campground is very well kept and the host is very friendly. The Lake is fuller than last year at this same time, but with the drought, expect it to be low by season's end. Only drawbacks are no water available and LOTS of hikers on the Crystal Lake trail that goes through the campground.

Lovely little campground. We stayed at the group site and it was clean, quiet and nice. They had a large charcoal grill, serving tables and three big picnic tables surrounding a fire pit for our group to use. There were only 3 tent spots but plenty of room for campers. Down the hill was a little stream that ran through the meadow. Walking distance to Washington lake. The pit toilets were well take... Lovely little campground.

The pit toilets were well taken care of and didn’t feel as yucky as others we have used. (Someone had put Bounty dryer sheets in there and it was a game changer.). Don’t miss Upper Provo Falls when in this area, BEAUTIFUL! Side note....We also visited the “fairy forest” near Shady Dell campground. My kids thought it was fun but honestly I was disappointed with the amount of painted rocks, literally thousands, left by campers over the years. If it were a true fairy forest it would have been a really cool thing. There were a few fairy houses but the majority of it is a bunch of family reunion, memorial and church groups who have wanted to leave their mark in the beautiful forest making it look trashy and gaudy in my opinion.
