Washington Lake

New listing

Washington Lake Campground is located just off the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway on the shores of Washington 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. A forest of pines covers the shores of the lake, providing limited shade in the campground, and summer wildflowers dot the landscape. Summer temperatures range from 50-85 degrees. The campground contains five accessible group sites, four of which accommodate up to 50 people each and a fifth that accommodates up to 100. Group sites are equipped with picnic and serving tables, campfire circles, grills, concrete site pads, limited tent pads and limited parking. Several single and double-family sites are available, all with picnic and utility tables, campfire rings and concrete site pads, and some with tent pads. The lake is not visible from the group sites, but most single and double sites have nice lake views. Vault toilets and trash collection are provided, firewood is available for purchase from the host, and roads and parking spurs are paved. Washington Lake offers canoeing, kayaking and fishing for rainbow, brook, cutthroat, tiger and albino trout. The popular Crystal Lake Trail begins within the site, and numerous additional hiking, biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding trails crisscross the region. 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 scenic viewpoints and various campgrounds. The High Uintas Wilderness can be accessed from several trails along the byway.
