About Miller Flat Reservoir Campground
Escape to the pristine wilderness of Miller Flat Reservoir Campground, where three intimate double-family sites and a spacious group site await adventurers seeking an authentic backcountry experience. This remote mountain retreat invites you to disconnect from the modern world—with no electricity, water, or sewer services, you'll find yourself immersed in nature's simplicity. Cast your line into the tranquil reservoir waters, paddle across the glassy surface in your canoe, or explore miles of trails on horseback or ATV. The group site sprawls across a wildflower-dotted meadow, naturally framed by towering aspens and aromatic firs that whisper in the mountain breeze. Basic vault toilets provide the only modern convenience in this otherwise untouched landscape.
Miller Flat Reservoir Campground accommodates a variety of camping styles, including primitive, tent, and RV setups with no hookups. Group camping is also available.
Historical SignificanceMiller Flat Reservoir Campground stands as a gateway to the legendary Arapeen OHV Trail System, continuing Utah's proud tradition of outdoor recreation that has drawn adventurers to these mountains for generations. This backcountry haven embodies the spirit of the American West, where self-reliance and a connection to the land remain as vital today as they were to the early explorers and settlers who first discovered these hidden mountain valleys.
Weather and SeasonsSummer mornings greet campers with crisp 30°F temperatures that warm to pleasant 60°F afternoons—perfect for outdoor adventures. Pack layers to adapt to the mountain's moods, as temperatures can shift dramatically between sun and shade.

Plan your visit accordingly, as Mother Nature dictates the camping season here.
ElevationPerched at an impressive 8,500 feet above sea level, this mountain sanctuary offers the crisp, clean air that only high-altitude camping can provide. The thin mountain atmosphere may leave lowlanders catching their breath at first, but the reward is worth the adjustment—crystal-clear night skies packed with stars and refreshingly cool temperatures even during summer's peak. Take it easy on your first day to acclimate to the elevation, and stay hydrated as you explore this alpine paradise.
Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking to the gentle rustle of aspen leaves catching the morning light, their silver-green canopy creating a natural cathedral above your campsite. The shimmering waters of Miller Flat Reservoir reflect the surrounding spruce-covered slopes like a perfect mirror, broken only by the occasional ripple from rising trout. The group camping area opens into a sun-drenched meadow where wildflowers paint the landscape in seasonal colors, while stands of aromatic fir and quaking aspen create natural privacy screens between the sites.
Geological RegionNestled within the majestic Manti-La Sal National Forest, this 8,500-foot mountain valley showcases the dramatic alpine terrain that defines Utah's high country. Ancient geological forces sculpted these peaks and valleys, creating a landscape where dense forests of aspen and spruce give way to pristine mountain meadows. Wildlife thrives in this elevated ecosystem—keep your eyes peeled for elk grazing at dawn, mule deer browsing in the aspens, and golden eagles soaring above the ridgelines. This is where the Colorado Plateau meets the Rocky Mountains, resulting in a unique blend of ecosystems that supports an incredible diversity of plant and animal life.
