About Big Rock Group

Big Rock Group sits in the high-elevation alpine terrain of Manti-La Sal National Forest near Huntington, Utah.

Elevation7600 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground sits within dense stands of pine and fir along the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway, where canyon walls rise above the forested floor. Huntington Creek flows nearby, its sound audible from camp. Summer brings wildflowers in purples, yellows, and reds to the surrounding meadows. The site itself has limited shade despite the forested setting, a tradeoff several reviewers noted. Deer, elk, and various bird species pass through the area, especially at dawn and dusk.

Programs & ActivitiesThe nearby Stuart Guard Station Visitor Center offers historical and cultural insights, including exhibits on 1930s ranger life and Civilian Conservation Corps projects.
