About
Lower Little Bear Campground is a primitive campground alongside Huntington Creek in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Situated at approximately 7,100 feet elevation in Huntington Canyon, the campground sits along the scenic Highway 31 corridor, roughly 13 miles northwest of Huntington, Utah. The partially shaded setting provides a quiet retreat for campers seeking solitude outside of a typical campground setting. The campground offers two sites: a double site accommodating up to 12 people and a group site for up to 40 people. Amenities at each site include picnic tables, fire rings with benches, Dutch oven stands, serving tables, pedestal grills, and graveled parking spurs. This is a primitive campground with no water or restroom facilities on site. Potable water can be obtained at Stuart Guard Station about 7 miles away, and a vault toilet is accessible at Little Bear Campground a third of a mile north. Popular activities in the area include fishing in Huntington Creek, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and scenic driving. Several trails are nearby, including the Left Fork of Huntington National Recreation Trail (6 miles) and the Huntington Pipeline Trail (3.5 miles). The canyon features numerous lakes and streams, summer wildflowers, colorful fall foliage, and abundant wildlife.
Directions
