About

Dry Canyon Campground is a primitive, no-fee camping area situated in the scenic Diamond Fork Canyon of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Located along Diamond Fork Road, this dispersed campground serves as a convenient base for visitors exploring the Fifth Water Hot Springs and the surrounding canyon. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis and follows pack-in, pack-out principles, meaning campers must bring all supplies and remove all waste. The campground provides minimal amenities consistent with dispersed camping. A toilet facility is available, but there is no potable water or trash service. Visitors should come prepared with adequate water supplies and plan to pack out all garbage. The setting offers a riverside location with opportunities for hiking, hot springs access, and exploring the Diamond Fork area. Access to Dry Canyon Campground is seasonal. During winter months, the Diamond Fork Road is gated before reaching the campground, making it inaccessible by vehicle. The campground is best accessed from late spring through fall when the road is open. From I-15, take exit 261 toward Spanish Fork Canyon, continue for approximately 9 miles to Forest Service Road 029 (Diamond Fork Canyon), and turn left into Diamond Fork Canyon.
