Payson Lakes

New listing
Payson Lakes Campground is a local favorite, located just 12 miles from Payson, Utah. Visitors love the campground for its great fishing and canoeing opportunities, pretty scenery and close proximity to town. Payson Lakes offers great canoeing and kayaking, and anglers enjoy fishing for rainbow and brown trout. Powerboats are prohibited. A popular day-use area is located on the shore of Big East Lake, with a small swim beach, picnic tables and flush toilets, and a paved nature path begins at the parking area and circles the lake. This large campground contains single and double sites with picnic tables and campfire rings. Three group sites are also available, equipped with picnic and serving tables, grills, dutch oven cooking surfaces, campfire circles, water spigots and cement site pads; the group sites are in an area separate from the single sites and the day-use area. Vault toilets are provided near Group Site A and in the single and double site loops, and flush toilets are provided between Group Sites B and C. Campground hosts are on-site, firewood is available for purchase, and roads and parking spurs are paved. The campground is nestled in a forest of aspen, fir and pine trees at an elevation of 8,000 feet. The Payson Lakes area is made up of McClelland, Box and Big East Lakes. Summer wildflowers are abundant, and a variety of wildlife makes its home around the lakes. The Mount Nebo Wilderness Area is adjacent, brimming with beautiful mountain scenery, pristine waters, abundant wildlife, vibrant summer wildflowers and numerous trail opportunities. The Nebo Loop Scenic Byway stretches 37 miles through high alpine terrain, dense forests and colorful meadows, and Devil's Kitchen Geological Area, found along the loop, offers a half-mile round-trip trail to interesting red rock hoodoos.
