About
Washington Lake Campground is a high-alpine destination located just off the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway on the shores of Washington Lake at 10,000 feet elevation. The byway cuts through the Uinta Mountains, offering abundant recreational opportunities and scenic beauty. The campground features 41 single sites, 4 double sites, 4 small group sites, and larger group options accommodating up to 100 people. The lake provides excellent opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing for rainbow, brook, cutthroat, tiger, and albino trout. The popular Crystal Lake Trail begins within the campground, and numerous additional hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails are accessible throughout the area. A pine forest covers the shores of the lake, providing limited shade throughout the campground. Summer wildflowers dot the landscape, and summer temperatures typically range from 50-85 degrees. The campground offers vault toilets but no drinking water, so visitors must bring their own water supply. Due to the high elevation and heavy snow accumulation, the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway and campground are closed during winter months. Motorized boats and ATVs are prohibited, and there is a 7-day stay limit. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov.
