Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Anomalously high moisture is forecast to impact the region with the arrival of the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel.

About

Diamond Fork Group Sites Campground is located among shady cottonwoods and willows at 5,200 feet elevation in Diamond Fork Canyon. The six group sites are situated 2-6 miles beyond the family campground, offering spacious areas for larger gatherings. Each site includes picnic shelters, tables, campfire rings, grills, and water spigots with large parking areas suitable for multiple vehicles. The campground sits along Diamond Fork Stream and nearby Wanrhodes Creek, which offer fishing for brown and cutthroat trout. An interpretive nature trail winds through the area along the stream. Popular nearby attractions include Red Ledges Picnic Area with its distinctive red rock formations including Diamond Fork Arch, and the Fifth Water Hot Springs with a 2.5-mile trail featuring several hot spring pools. Group site capacities range from 25 people (sites 1A and 1B at $65/night) up to 125 people (site 3 at $255/night), with medium-sized options for 75 people at $145/night. Reservations must be made at least 5 days in advance through Recreation.gov. A 16-day stay limit applies.
