About Ferron Reservoir Campground Ferron North
Perched high in a breathtaking alpine basin at 9,500 feet, Ferron Reservoir Campground Ferron North offers an intimate mountain escape with just five secluded campsites. Here, towering spruce and fir trees mingle with quaking aspens to create a natural canopy of partial shade, while the shimmering waters of Ferron Reservoir reflect the surrounding peaks. Each site comes equipped with its own picnic table and fire ring, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. The campground maintains a rustic charm with vault toilets and well-maintained gravel roads, though visitors should note that water and garbage services are not available—a small trade-off for this slice of mountain paradise.
Ferron Reservoir Campground Ferron North offers options for tent camping and potentially accommodates small RVs due to its gravel roads and spurs. Group camping and cabin accommodations are not available.

ElevationAt 9,500 feet above sea level, this alpine basin campground places you in the thin, crystal-clear air of the high country.

Wildlife thrives in this elevated ecosystem—keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of native creatures going about their daily routines. Summer paints the meadows with vibrant wildflower displays, while autumn sets the aspen groves ablaze with golden light that photographers dream about.
Geological RegionNestled just below the dramatic ridgeline of the Wasatch Plateau, this scenic alpine basin showcases nature's architectural prowess. The surrounding landscape tells a geological story millions of years in the making, where ancient forces carved out this perfect mountain sanctuary now adorned with pristine forests of spruce, fir, and aspen that create a living tapestry across the mountainside.
