Lilly Lake Campground

Lilly Lake Campground is located just off the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway on the shores of Lost Lake, at an elevation of 10,000 feet. The byway cuts through the Uinta Mountains, which are known for their abundant recreational opportunities and scenic beauty. This is a paved campground with 14 single campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring, and vault toilet restrooms are available. A dense forest of Engelmann spruce and lodgepole pine covers the campground, providing ample shade, and summer wildflowers dot the landscape. Summer temperatures range from 65 to 75 degrees during the day to 40 to 50 degrees at night. The campground is situated near three lakes — Lilly Lake, Lost Lake and Teapot Lake — and hiking, fishing and canoeing opportunities are available in the area. Heading east from Kamas into the Uinta Mountains through the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway is lined with scenic viewpoints, picnic areas, numerous lakes and campgrounds. Much of the journey parallels the Provo River. The byway climbs to an elevation of 10,687 feet at Bald Mountain Pass before descending past Mirror Lake, then on to the Bear River Ranger Station with its historical Tie Hack Cabin; from here the route parallels the Bear River and on to Evanston. Recreational activities along the byway include camping, fishing, cross-country skiing, hiking, riding ATVs and snowmobiling.
