About Soldier Creek

Soldier Creek sits on the shore of Strawberry Reservoir in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest at 7,200 feet, managed by Utah Recreation Company. This large alpine campground serves anglers chasing trophy trout and boaters launching onto one of Utah's premier high-country reservoirs. Tent and RV sites spread across multiple loops with flush toilets, a dump station, and a camp store, though reviewers note limited shade in some areas and tight site spacing during busy summer weekends.
