Driving directionsFrom Heber City, Utah, take Highway 40 east for 45 miles to the Currant Creek Junction. Turn off the highway and travel in a northwest direction approximately 17 miles to the campground. The road from the highway is paved for 10 miles and graded gravel for 7 miles. Stay on the most traveled road. When there are Y's in the road, stay on the road on the east side of Currant Creek, following the Creek to the dam. When you get to the dam, follow the road almost all the way around the reservoir, and you will find the campground near the southwest end of the lake, a short distance from the dam where you'll check in with the camp host. Alternate Route: Take US Highway 40 from Heber City and travel approximately 22 miles southeast to FS Road 082 (Coop Creek Road). There is a Coop Creek sign on the north side of Highway 40. Turn north (left) at the sign and travel approximately 8 miles north. At that point there is another sign for Currant Creek Campground. Turn right at the sign and travel approximately 6 more miles east and south to the campground where you'll check in with the camp host.
The campground is accessible via both paved and graded gravel roads. The road from the Currant Creek Junction is paved for 10 miles and graded gravel for 7 miles, requiring careful navigation to stay on the correct route. Alternate access via Coop Creek Road is also partially gravel.

Best Time to Camp at Currant Creek Guard Station (Ut)

Summer arrives gently at this mountain sanctuary, bringing warm days perfect for outdoor adventures, though the high altitude keeps even the hottest afternoons pleasantly cool. Mountain weather writes its own rules here—morning sunshine might give way to afternoon thundershowers that roll dramatically across the peaks before clearing to reveal stunning sunset skies. Evening temperatures drop noticeably, creating perfect conditions for gathering around campfires while wrapped in warm layers, sharing stories of the day's adventures.
