About Scofield State Park

Scofield State Park sits at 7,600 feet in the Manti-LaSal Mountains, centered on a 2,800-acre reservoir. The park has 34 sites across two main campgrounds: Mountain View and Madsen Bay. Sites run $20–35 per night and accommodate tents, RVs, and cabins. Madsen Bay offers more spacious, less crowded sites compared to Mountain View.

Scofield State Park accommodates a range of camping styles, including tent, RV, and group camping. Cabins are also available for rent.

Weather and SeasonsSummer brings daytime highs of 75–85°F and nights that drop to 45–55°F. This is peak season for water activities, with boat ramps fully open and calm mornings on the reservoir. Afternoon thunderstorms develop quickly in the mountains. Watch for wildfire restrictions. Winter transforms the park into a snow-covered landscape for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, with temperatures regularly below freezing.

ElevationPerched at 7,600 feet above sea level, Scofield State Park exists in that sweet spot where mountain air stays refreshingly thin and views stretch endlessly toward distant horizons. This lofty elevation creates a unique high-altitude environment where temperatures can swing dramatically between day and night, and where the journey up winding mountain roads becomes part of the adventure itself.

Natural Features and SceneryThe reservoir dominates the landscape, ringed by dense coniferous forest and mountain peaks shaped by ancient tectonic forces. The Wasatch Plateau geology is visible in the rugged ridgelines surrounding the water. Wildlife includes eagles, deer, and abundant birdlife. Views vary by campground. Some sites sit directly on the water, others back into the forest with limited lake views. Shade is inconsistent across the park, with some sites lacking adequate tree cover.

Geological RegionRising from the ancient Wasatch Plateau, Scofield State Park showcases the raw beauty of the Manti-LaSal Mountains in all their rugged glory. This geological wonderland at 7,600 feet elevation tells a story millions of years in the making, where tectonic forces sculpted dramatic peaks and valleys now softened by dense forests and filled by the expansive 2,800-acre reservoir. The terrain here speaks to the powerful forces that shaped Utah's backbone, creating a landscape that challenges and rewards those who venture into its heights.

Scenic ViewsMany campsites have unobstructed views of Scofield Reservoir, its surrounding greenery, and the Wasatch Plateau.

Lodging & AccommodationsGuests can rent cabins, and there are also group sites at the park. Madsen Bay and Mountain View offer different options with Madsen Bay touted as more spacious and less crowded compared to Mountain View.

Go if

Anglers and boaters who book Madsen Bay early get the roomier, recently renovated waterfront sites with electric and water hookups for $35 a night. Bring a canopy since tree cover is thin.

Skip if

Tent campers expecting shade and elbow room will find Mountain View tight and exposed. No notable hiking trails exist, so if the lake isn't the draw, there's not much else to anchor a trip.
