Manti-La Sal National Forest

Reviews

Manti-La Sal National Forest campgrounds are widely appreciated for their beautiful natural and peaceful settings, clean and well-maintained facilities, and friendly, helpful hosts. Visitors enjoy spacious and private campsites with scenic views, wildlife sightings, and opportunities for outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, and ATV riding. However, common issues include limited or no potable water availability, challenging and sometimes rough or remote access roads, insect problems (notably mosquitoes and flies), occasional noise from campers, ATVs, or nearby roads, and some campsite layout or maintenance concerns.

Me and my dad stayed there for a couple of weeks. The new renovation is horrible for how long it took, the sites have not been leveled, the chip seal is peeling in numerous spots, it’s a mud bog to get to the fire pit and pick nick table, they didn’t touch the path to the restroom, it was full of weeds. It’s also a mud bog to get to the pay station. Also the gray haired forest service lady that collects the fees was not friendly at all, she might want to seek employment where she doesn’t interact with people.

The sites here are nicely spaced apart for privacy, there are many pull-throughs, the restrooms are kept very clean (except for flies, but not much one can do in the fall!) and the whole campground was recently slurry sealed and fresh lines painted. View are lovely. Great for dogs as there's lots of open space.

Large campsite, plenty of room for multiples campers, cars, and tents. Close access to all the important canyons.
