About

Ferron Reservoir Campground is located just below the ridgeline of the Wasatch Plateau at an elevation of 9,400 feet, adjacent to Ferron Reservoir, a premier alpine lake popular with anglers. The campground contains approximately 18 single-family campsites and one group site that accommodates up to 50 people and eight vehicles. The small reservoir sits in a scenic alpine basin where spruce, fir and aspen trees provide partial shade throughout the campground. The reservoir offers excellent fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout, as well as opportunities for canoeing and small craft boating. Numerous off-road vehicle trails crisscross the area, consisting mainly of 66-inch and 50-inch OHV routes. The expansive Arapeen OHV Trail System, with more than 350 miles of designated, maintained trails suitable for all riding levels, can be accessed nearby. Rush Pond and Willow Lake are a short drive east, and Duck Fork Reservoir is just to the north, offering additional fishing and outdoor recreation opportunities. Skyline Drive runs above the campground along the top of the Wasatch Plateau for more than 60 miles, rewarding visitors with beautiful mountain scenery, glacial cirques, spruce-fir and aspen forests, and numerous lakes and reservoirs. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant, and autumn foliage creates spectacular displays throughout the surrounding area. The campground is located adjacent to the historical Indian Creek Guard Station.
