Best Time to Camp at Scofield State Park
Summer days at Scofield unfold in perfect mountain weather, with comfortable 80-degree afternoons giving way to crisp 50-degree evenings that demand a cozy campfire and extra layer. As autumn paints the landscape in gold and crimson, temperatures begin their descent toward winter's embrace. When snow blankets the park in pristine white, a different kind of magic emerges—frozen landscapes transform into a wonderland for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and winter exploration, though visitors should prepare for temperatures that regularly plunge below freezing.

Planning Tips
About Scofield State Park
High in the Manti-LaSal Mountains at 7,600 feet, Scofield State Park beckons adventurers to discover its pristine alpine paradise. The crown jewel of this mountain sanctuary is the sprawling 2,800-acre Scofield Reservoir, where crystal-clear waters mirror the surrounding peaks and invite endless days of fishing, boating, and waterside relaxation. Three distinct camping areas each offer their own character: Mountain View Campground perches on a scenic lakeside terrace with sweeping vistas and modern comforts, while Madsen Bay creates the perfect gathering place for family reunions and group adventures. For those seeking a more rustic experience, Fish Creek delivers primitive camping where the wilderness takes center stage.
Scofield State Park accommodates a range of camping styles, including tent, RV, and group camping. Cabins are also available for rent.
Historical SignificanceThe echoes of Utah's pioneering past resonate throughout the Scofield area, where weathered remnants of mining operations and early settlements tell stories of determination and discovery. This land witnessed the dreams and struggles of those who sought fortune in the mountains, leaving behind a rich tapestry of local history that adds depth to every hiking trail and scenic overlook.
Weather and SeasonsSummer days at Scofield unfold in perfect mountain weather, with comfortable 80-degree afternoons giving way to crisp 50-degree evenings that demand a cozy campfire and extra layer. As autumn paints the landscape in gold and crimson, temperatures begin their descent toward winter's embrace. When snow blankets the park in pristine white, a different kind of magic emerges—frozen landscapes transform into a wonderland for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and winter exploration, though visitors should prepare for temperatures that regularly plunge 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 SceneryScofield's landscape unfolds like a masterpiece of mountain artistry, where dense stands of coniferous forest give way to dramatic vistas of the surrounding peaks. The shimmering expanse of Scofield Reservoir serves as the centerpiece, its waters reflecting sky and forest in an ever-changing display. Wildlife enthusiasts will discover a vibrant ecosystem where eagles soar overhead, deer emerge at twilight from forest shadows, and a symphony of bird songs fills the morning air. Each season paints this high-altitude canvas with new colors and textures, from wildflower meadows in summer to golden aspen groves in fall.
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.
