About CURRANT CREEK

Federal campground in Utah.

Currant Creek offers a peaceful retreat into Utah's stunning natural landscape, nestled within the Uinta National Forest. This campground provides an excellent base for travelers seeking to explore some of the most scenic and outdoor-rich terrain the Beehive State has to offer. The surrounding forest environment creates a serene atmosphere perfect for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life while still enjoying accessible camping amenities.

The location puts you in the heart of central Utah, where you'll find yourself surrounded by towering pines, aspen groves, and the natural beauty that defines the Wasatch Mountains region. The elevation and forest setting keep temperatures comfortable during warmer months, making it an ideal destination for summer camping trips. Visitors appreciate the quieter, more intimate camping experience compared to some of the region's busier commercial parks.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore nearby. Hiking trails throughout the national forest offer varying difficulty levels, from leisurely walks through scenic woodland to more challenging alpine adventures. Fishing opportunities abound in the area's streams and lakes, with the Provo River system nearby attracting anglers of all skill levels. Mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and photography are popular activities that take full advantage of the natural surroundings.

The park serves as a strategic location for those planning to visit nearby attractions and communities. The proximity to central Utah means you're well-positioned to explore a variety of destinations, from charming small towns to outdoor recreation areas. Whether you're traveling with family, as a couple seeking a romantic getaway, or as a solo adventurer, the quiet forest setting provides the perfect environment for relaxation and nature appreciation.

The camping experience here appeals to RV travelers who value natural beauty and outdoor access over extensive on-site amenities. It's particularly well-suited for those with self-contained RVs who want to base themselves in one location while exploring the broader region. The national forest setting means you're camping in a protected natural area managed for long-term conservation and public enjoyment.

Stunning views, huge amazing campground with clean bathrooms. I think my spot was just shy of 8,000 feet in elevation, had perfect Labor Day weather too!

It's fun, not that great for dogs cause of all of the thick brush. Any road in is gonna be a washboard for several miles. Otherwise it is a fun place to camp.

Great host and nice and spacious campsites. I expected pit toilets but they were fully functional plumbing and very clean. The host at the time had firewood for sale which was nice since there aren’t any amenities this far out.

Great host and nice and spacious campsites. I expected pit toilets but they were fully functional plumbing and very clean.

I didn’t book a reservation but saw that there were a lot of first come first serve sites we took a chance on coming out on a Saturday and had a few to choose from. The dirt road was a little rough getting out to the area but paved at the actual campground. An easy walk over to the water but not right next to the water.

Campground was awesome and the upper loop was one of the most scenic camp spots I have been to. Bathroom was clean and it had a dump station at the entrance as well. Water spigots everywhere.

Water spigots everywhere. Short drive over to Currant Creek (which do not expect to do any water sports or swimming in this reservoir especially late summer, it's caked in algae). Good offroading trails near by as well. There is 0 service all over up there so I rented a Starlink and used that all weekend. This almost saved our butt as I thought I was lost on the road in the dark until we had another truck pull up and help us out. Here is your warning though at no fault of the campground: The roads to get in are miserable with a trailer. I had someone else book my spot and wasn't so sure on the route as there are 3 roads to get there. Ended up taking an hour+ going 5 to 10mph on a washboard road and almost missed the gate closing time. The road slammed my new trailer and threw us around the truck. Google Maps will give you a time to get there and I'd add another 35-40 minutes as you won't be getting close to the speed limit if you are pulling a trailer and care about your stuff. The road would be smooth-ish in some spots and absolutely miserable for most of the drive. Many steep areas with decently sharp turns. I ended up peppering the entire front of my trailer with gravel and everything in the trailer ended up everywhere. We also got there after some rain and closer to the campground had 3 large puddle areas I was worried about getting stuck in but it was hard packed under the water so we made it through fine. So, campground is worth it but be prepared for the washboard road. I know how groomed fire roads can be and this is the only campground I have towed to with this long of a road to get in. But you are gonna get rewarded with some great views and being pretty far up in the mountains.

We took my family which included my non-camping brothers and their children as well. This was going to a fun time for the family. The sites were okay, but the fire pits were so close to the tables that we could not put up a canopy without risk of sparks creating holes in it. The sites did not provide much shade.
