About

Unicorn Ridge is a dispersed camping area situated along Forest Road 051 (Sheep Creek Road) in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah County. Located at an elevation that offers scenic views of the surrounding mountains, this site serves as a convenient base for exploring the forest and nearby recreational areas including Strawberry Reservoir. The area is characterized by its ridge-top location and is frequently described as an open parking area that accommodates RVs, trailers, and big rigs. While not a developed campground with designated sites, it provides dispersed camping opportunities in a forested mountain setting with access to nearby hiking trails, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Access to Unicorn Ridge is seasonal and depends on snow conditions and road maintenance. The Sheep Creek Road corridor typically opens in mid to late spring and remains accessible through fall. Forest Service day use passes are required in this area.
