Best Time to Camp at Strawberry Bay

Best season: summer. Summer offers the best combination of warm, dry days (highs typically in the mid-60s to upper-70s°F at 7,200 ft) and reliable access to all water-based activities—boating, trout fishing, and waterside relaxation. Mornings are often glassy and excellent for anglers and boaters, while afternoon winds create scenic whitecaps and challenge experienced boaters; evenings cool into the 40s–50s°F, perfect for campfires and stargazing thanks to unobstructed skies. Expect the busiest weekends (especially Peak months: July, August, June, September Avoid: November, December, January, February

About Strawberry Bay

Strawberry Bay sits at high elevation on the shore of Strawberry Reservoir in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, operated by Utah Recreation Company during peak summer months. This very large campground offers full-hookup RV sites, tent camping, and group options with flush toilets, a dump station, and an on-site camp store. Anglers and boaters come for reservoir trout fishing and morning glassy-water conditions, with afternoon winds creating scenic whitecaps for experienced boaters.

Strawberry Bay Campground offers camping options for tents, RVs, and group camping. Some sites include full RV hookups.

Elevation7200 ft above sea level

Natural Features and ScenerySagebrush-covered hills descend to meet the reservoir's shoreline, punctuated by scattered pines that provide minimal shade but unobstructed views across the water. This high desert plateau-meets-reservoir landscape offers panoramic vistas in every direction. The sparse vegetation means you'll see the horizon for miles and the stars at night without interference. The trade-off is exposure: sites sit open to sun and wind, so plan accordingly. When afternoon breezes kick up, they transform the glassy morning water into whitecaps that challenge boaters but create a constantly shifting visual drama.
