East Fork Blacks Fork Campground

About

East Fork Blacks Fork Trailhead and Campground sits in a timbered setting on the North Slope of the Uinta Mountains, providing direct access to the High Uintas Wilderness. The 8-site campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis, making it a quiet alternative to the more developed campgrounds along the Mirror Lake Highway. The area is popular for stream fishing along the East Fork of Blacks Fork and serves as a launching point for backcountry hiking and horseback riding. Mountain biking is prohibited, and all wilderness regulations apply once you enter the High Uintas. Winter visitors can use the area for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, though trails are not groomed. Facilities are primitive with vault toilets but no potable water. Campers should bring all water supplies and be prepared for a self-reliant experience. Day use passes are required and can be purchased digitally through Recreation.gov or paid on-site with cash or check.
