Overview

Ferron Campground is located next to Ferron Reservoir, a premier alpine lake that is popular with fishermen. The area offers both developed single campsites and a developed group camp site. It sits just below the ridgeline of the Wasatch Plateau, at an elevation of 9,400 feet. It is located adjacent to the historical Indian Creek Guard Station. Visitors enjoy fishing, canoeing and exploring many local trails.

Recreation

Ferron Reservoir is adjacent to the campground, providing canoeing, boating (small craft only) and fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout. Numerous off-road vehicle trails crisscross the area, offering exciting rides for all skill levels. These trails mainly consist of 66-inch and 50-inch OHV routes. Rush Pond and Willow Lake are a short drive east and Duck Fork Reservoir is just to the north, offering additional fishing, canoeing, and OHV opportunities.

Multiple self-pay fee stations are available. Roads and parking spurs are gravel.

The small reservoir sits in a scenic alpine basin. Spruce, fir and aspen trees dot the landscape, providing partial shade in the campground. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant, and autumn leaves put on quite a show in the surrounding area.

Ferron Reservoir is a great camping place. The water is with in walking distance. The fishing was good and the swimming was great. Last year we camped at 12 Mile Campground, It was much better to camp at lakeside.

It's always beautiful when we go. Camp site are kept well. Outhouses are cleaned and well stocked. The Forrest service kept us informed on burning conditions. Great place to fish and enjoy the outdoors.

This is my favorite place to camp. We've stayed there at least 10 times. We plan our trip based on the amenities provided. This year there was no water. No big deal if we had been able to plan for that scenario. Fortunately for us there was an extremely kind couple at the camp next to us who were leaving the day we arrived. The gifted us a fill 5 gallon spigoted container. We brought cases and cases of water bottles, so we had drinking water. Long story short.....why wasn't the water turned on?

Beautiful country and well kept campground. Even the toilets were clean! The only frustrating thing is that the water was turned off and we hadn’t been notified. So we were not prepared with enough water.

Beautiful campground and reservoir! If you’re pulling a trailer, come from the city of Ferron. Parts are a steep incline, take your time.
