Public land it sits in

On Wilderness Atlas →

Fishlake National Forest begins about 8.4 miles away, and it is the closest of these.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.

Natural features

The Fishlake National Forest in central Utah features majestic stands of aspen encircling open mountain meadows that are lush with a diverse community of forbs and grasses. Elk, deer, black bear, cougar and moose can be found on the Forest, as well as wild turkey and mountain goats. The campground is mainly in an aspen stand with a mix of conifers. The trees provide a range of shade depending on location. Some areas are lighter or heavier shade, depending on site. The majority are well-shaded.

Recreation

Anglers can fish for brown, brook and rainbow trout in Kents Lake from the shore or small non-motorized boat. Trailheads to the Piute ATV trail are close by, but there is no direct access from the campground.
