About Washington Lake

Perched high in the Uinta Mountains at a breathtaking 10,000 feet, Washington Lake Campground offers an alpine escape along the stunning Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. This mountain sanctuary invites adventurers to explore pristine hiking trails, cast a line in crystal-clear waters, or paddle across serene mountain lakes while breathing in the crisp, pine-scented air.

Surrounded by pristine alpine lakes carved by ancient glaciers and dense coniferous forests, visitors experience firsthand the dramatic landscapes that make the Uintas a geological wonder.
