Lake Canyon Recreation Area Campground

One of our favorite camping spots. We try to come every year! The nearby reservoirs are great for kayaks and paddle boards. Historically for us, the shore fishing has not been good on Huntington or Cleveland. If you want to shore-fish, try the smaller ones like the beaver pond reservoir, but sometimes (at dusk) miller flat reservoir has been good fishing for the kids. There are also nearby ATV trails that my husband and kids like to take our motorcycles on. If you are coming to camp in “peace and quiet” this probably isn’t the area for you. Lots of people in side-by-sides, four wheelers and on motorcycles use the nearby trails. It is also a pack-it-in, pack-it-out area with no garbage bins to dispose of trash. This campground is considered “boondocking” which means no hookups for trailers. There are however occasional vault toilets amongst the campgrounds.

A beautiful place to camp. But for $15 there is no trash disposal or water. Which is fine but most sites don't even have a picnic table. There is a fire ring but no grate on it. I've been to dozens of Forest Service campgrounds and almost all of them have a picnic table and standard fire ring with a grate on it at a minimum. The roads around the campground are in rough shape but it didn't seem to be too much of an issue for most trailers. A lot of sites are uneven and while generally the sites are spread out, some are quite close to each other. It's a popular OHV area and while 95% of the riders are considerate there's the few that tear back and forth through the campground. When I arrived the bathrooms were clean and well stocked but after a couple of days they weren't quite as nice. Thanks fellow campers. Also expect the smell of burning trash because some people are too lazy to pack it out.

We have been going here for a few summers now with our side by side. They really need more trails for the larger machines. We are 72" wide and most trails near by are for smaller machines. Not all of the sites have tables, no water and lots of BUGS. I do love how close Cleveland and Huntington lakes are to the campground.

So many trails for small ATVs. Lots of deer that are not scared. Cool temps. Beautiful

No good. Super dusty, dry area, right next to a road where people are riding their little motor vehicles and big trucks and trailers past at all hours of the day and night. So many awful stinging flies as well! I’m all for camping, but this was a bad spot!
