About

Pine Lake Campground is located next to its scenic namesake lake high on the Colorado Plateau at 8,100 feet elevation. The campground is nestled among a forest of spruce and towering ponderosa pines at the foot of beautifully forested peaks banded with red and white layers of sandstone. The campground offers 28 family campsites and 4 group sites, all equipped with picnic tables, fire rings/grills, and tent pads. A well-maintained gravel road provides good access for cars and RVs. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided during the operating season from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A short trail leads from the campground to Pine Lake, which offers excellent canoeing and kayaking, as well as fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout. Hiking and off-road vehicle trails are plentiful within the area. The Pine Lake OHV Trailhead is located adjacent to the campground with a loading ramp. ATVs and OHVs are allowed to ingress and egress to all group sites, the picnic site, and campsites 6, 7, and 8. Street legal OHVs are allowed throughout the campground. Bryce Canyon National Park is approximately 30 minutes away, and Kodachrome Basin State Park is about an hour from the campground.
