High on the Colorado Plateau you'll find this gorgeous lake. It's at an elevation of about 8,400…read morefeet so it's the perfect summer escape from the heat. I come here at least twice a year during the summer months and I love how small the community is. Everyone knows each other. The lake itself is a substantial size covering about 1,300 acres. There are cabins on the lake and above in the surrounding hills. There's also a little market in town and just a few restaurants. Plan accordingly and bring what you need if you plan on staying for a few days. The location is also awesome because it's near one of my favorite hiking spots, Cedar Breaks and close to Zion & Bryce Canyon. The lake is surrounded by forest. It's so beautiful. Most folks visit to fish as you can find rainbow, cutthroat, brown, and brook trout. You can also canoe or kayak around the lake. ATV's are all around as that's how most people get around and there are hundreds of miles of trails to explore. It feels like you're very far from everything...

The camp host on this trip was very friendly and helpful. They sell wood bundles for $6. The camp has separate male and female restrooms with flush toilets.

The Beaver river runs right in the campground, with an accessible area, completed with a park bench to sit on. There is also a group fire pit.

I came back to the site and noticed that a box with two cans of bear spray, a hatchet, a rubber mallet, and more was stolen. It was probably $200 worth of supplies. I talked to the camp hosts to see if they saw anything, but one was totally avoiding me and the other seemed dumbfounded. Neither asked if I wanted to file a report. The dumbfounded one said, "I did not even know there was such a thing as bear spray." To me, both were weird and evasive interactions. I had stayed here previously two years ago but would not trust to stay here again. I canceled my return reservation on 09/21/24 and am losing my $33 payment.

The area of Panguitch Lake is beautiful! You have a mix of small town Utah with some woods, farms,…read moreand a lake. We stayed at the North campground for three nights and then the overflow area for two. There are a few other camping areas as well, there is a south, and then at least two or three additional camping areas near by. I found them all when I got lost hiking around. The camp spots are not all created equal, some a far better then others, and without knowing the area first, you can't possibly know if your getting a quality spot. We reserved a space before we left. When we got there, we found that the place that we had reserved, did not have a flat space for a table next to the RV spot, we would have to hike up and down a little hill to get to a table every time we wanted anything. It just didn't work for our style of camping this time around. We spoke to the camps hosts and they let us switch spots to another open one with no problem. The next plot fit our requirements much better. Although its good to know that not all spots have a water spicket. Each lot does have a fire pit area with a flip style sort of grill, but no BBQ's. There are bathrooms, just toilets, the hand sinks don't work because they say they are trying to conserve water (although I just found that really odd, because I would just go to the spicket and wash my hands). The bathrooms are clean, and well maintained. Also, the lake was not very yielding. You had to throw back anything under 17", which was everything that was caught by my group. All in all, it was a fun, quiet place to go and I would recommend it to any outdoor lover. Next time I go, I will be tent camping and I will probably stay at the South campsite for that.
