About Chute Group
Nestled deep within the scenic Huntington Canyon, Chute Group Campground welcomes large gatherings with its expansive group site that comfortably accommodates up to 50 adventurers. Whether you're casting a line into crystal-clear waters, exploring winding mountain trails on foot or bike, or simply cruising the canyon's spectacular scenic byways, this mountain retreat serves as your perfect basecamp for outdoor exploration.
Chute Group Campground offers a single large group site without electric hookups. It is suitable for primitive camping with tents but does not support RV accommodations.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time at the nearby Stuart Guard Station Visitor Center, where the legacy of the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps comes alive. This fascinating stop showcases authentic equipment and tells the compelling stories of the young men who shaped these forests during America's Great Depression, leaving an enduring mark on the landscape you'll explore today.

ElevationPerched at 8,000 feet above sea level, this mountain sanctuary offers a refreshing escape from summer heat. The high elevation delivers crisp, clean air and sweeping vistas of the surrounding peaks, creating an alpine atmosphere that invigorates the senses and provides natural air conditioning even on the warmest days.
Natural Features and SceneryTowering spruce trees create a natural cathedral overhead, their branches filtering sunlight into dancing patterns on the forest floor. Emerald meadows stretch alongside Huntington Creek, where dense thickets of willows shelter the babbling waters. Summer transforms the canyon into a painter's palette of wildflower blooms, while autumn sets the mountainsides ablaze with golden aspens and crimson maples. Wildlife thrives here—keep your eyes peeled for deer grazing at dawn and hawks soaring overhead.
Geological RegionThe heart of Manti-La Sal National Forest pulses through Huntington Canyon, where ancient geological forces have carved a paradise of pristine lakes, tumbling streams, and dramatic canyon walls. This remarkable ecosystem supports a tapestry of life, from the stately spruce forests to the delicate wildflower meadows. The interplay of water and stone has created countless hidden gems throughout the canyon, making every hike a journey of discovery through one of Utah's most spectacular mountain landscapes.
