New listing

Mirror Lake Campground is located just off the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway on the shores of its beautiful namesake lake at an elevation of 10,400 feet. The byway cuts through the Uinta Mountains, which are known for their abundant recreational opportunities and scenic beauty. Mirror Lake offers great canoeing and kayaking, and anglers enjoy fishing for rainbow trout; the lake is open only to non-motorized watercraft. A gravel-surfaced interpretive nature trail circles the lake, where visitors of all ages enjoy learning about local flora and fauna through educational displays. Many hiking, biking, horse and off-road vehicle trails crisscross this beautiful region, including trails to Bonnie Lake, Scudder Lake and Naturalist Basin, all part of the Highline Trail. Fehr Lake Trail begins just outside the campground, and Bald Mountain Trail can be accessed nearby. The campground contains several single and double campsites, some of which are accessible, all with picnic and utility tables, tent pads and campfire rings with grills. Many sites have partial lake views. Campsites 65-79 are equipped for equestrian use (horses, mules, llamas) on a separate loop with hitching rails and feeding boxes. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided, and firewood is available for purchase from the host. Roads and parking spurs are dirt. A day-use picnic area and small boat ramp are located on the lake shore. Mirror Lake is situated at the base of the 11,943-foot Bald Mountain. The campground lies among a forest of white fir trees, which provides partial shade, and colorful summer wildflowers dot the landscape. Summer temperatures range from 65-75 degrees during the day to 40-50 degrees at night. Mirror Lake Scenic Byway parallels the Lower Provo River as it snakes across a portion of the Uinta Mountains, leading to numerous high alpine lakes and streams, countless trails, breathtaking viewpoints and various campgrounds. Fishing, canoeing, hiking, backpacking, horseback riding and biking are popular, and the High Uintas Wilderness can be accessed from several trails along the byway.
