I am looking int reservations for this campground in October and it won't let me book online. It says walk up only available. Does anyone camp here or does anyone know if I show up on a Wed or Thurs, I should be able to find a decent spot or will it be full? Can't find a phone number to call so thought I'd ask here. Thanks!

435-448-9449 - summer park number
435-687-2491 - winter park number
800-322-3770 (toll-free from outside the Salt Lake City area)

One of these might work??
 
Anytime after Labor Day you should be just fine to find a spot. We usually camp there during the summer and it gets pretty busy but we went the week after Labor Day last year and it was a ghost town. Also, they MAY have the water turned off.

That was another question.... if it's walk up and no camp hosts to check on things, will all utilities be on?

Rutcrazed....thanks for the numbers.....I will give them a call. I appreciate that.
 
After they pull the camp ground hosts in the local Federal Lands camp ground in our local area, the water and electricity is turned off. The dump station are open at Fish Lake, not totally sure how long they leave fresh water on at the dump stations.

Frozen water lines are the reason they shut the water off after Sept. 15.

Many not apply to other camp sights however.

Just called summer and winter numbers and left voicemails for both. We'll see what happens! Thanks.
 
I still have not heard back from either the summer or winter park peeps. I will try again on Monday!
 
If you don't get any definitive answers before your trip, there's a Holiday Oil gas station right at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon and they have water. We filled our tank up there last time the water at Madsen Bay hadn't been turned on yet.

Thats good to know.....that was going to be the other quest....where to find water to fill my tank. Thanks again!

Do you spend much time up there? Any tips on finding cow elk up there? PM me if you have some info. Thanks!
 
Are you headed up for the Manti North elk hunt? I will be just up the road from you with my son, looking for a cow.

Yes, I have a cow tag for North Manti. How far north will you be? Always nice to have some extra help to pack if necessary. That goes both ways....if you'd like to swap numbers and we're not too far apart, we can help eachother out. Pm me if interested. :)Good luck to you guys. I need some elk meat in the freezer!
