Planning Tips

    About Little Reservoir Campround

    Tucked away in the Fishlake National Forest at 7,350 feet, Little Reservoir Campground offers a peaceful mountain retreat just minutes from I-15 near Beaver, Utah. This intimate campground combines the convenience of easy access with genuine wilderness character, where shaded campsites serve as your basecamp for fishing, hiking, and hunting adventures in the high country.
    Campground consists of eight single-family campsites (one accessible). Some sites are paved; no utility hookups are provided.

Spring arrives late at this elevation, while fall brings spectacular golden aspens, and winter snows typically close the area for the cold months.
    ElevationAt 7,350 feet above sea level, Little Reservoir Campground sits in that sweet spot where the high desert transitions to mountain forest, offering cooler temperatures and thinner air that invigorate the senses.
    Natural Features and SceneryA rich tapestry of vegetation surrounds the campground, where towering ponderosa pines mingle with quaking aspens, gnarled junipers, and aromatic pinyon trees, while cottonwoods cluster near the water's edge. Most campsites nestle beneath this generous canopy, providing natural shade and that peaceful rustling soundtrack that only leaves in the breeze can create. The Fishlake National Forest stretches in every direction, offering sweeping mountain vistas and serving as prime habitat for some of the West's most impressive wildlife—elk bugle in the meadows, deer browse at dawn and dusk, and the more elusive residents like black bears, moose, cougars, and mountain goats leave their tracks in the backcountry.
    Geological RegionFishlake National Forest, where ancient volcanic activity and millennia of erosion have sculpted a diverse landscape of high plateaus, deep canyons, and forested peaks across central Utah's highlands.
