Pioneer Campground (UT)

Pioneer Campground is located on the banks of the Blacksmith Fork River about 9 miles from Hyrum, Utah, at an elevation of 5,600 feet. This little campground has many nicely secluded sites tucked under black willow and box elder trees, surrounded by rugged hills. There are 17 single sites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. Vault restroom facilities are available at this site. Visitors enjoy hiking, fishing and exploring off-road trails. Mountain bikers can follow Forest Road 245 to the Great Western Trail, a multi-use trail, near the Blacksmith Fork Guard Station. Drive the scenic roads or hike area trails while watching for wildlife. Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway is nearby. From historic Cache Valley on the west, this byway winds northeast through the national forest to Bear Lake spanning the Utah/Idaho border. Along the way, 500 million years of geologic history unfold in the lower canyon's deeply incised walls and formations laden with fossils. In autumn, the colors are unparalleled.
