About Panguitch Lake

Panguitch Lake Campground is located 14 mi southwest of Panguitch, Utah. Some of the state's largest rainbow trout are fished from the lake each year, and aptly so; "Panguitch" comes from the Paiute word meaning "big fish." Visitors also enjoy canoeing and exploring the Panguitch Lake OHV Trail System.

Very nice sites in the pines! There is a hiking trail that goes right down to a stream. Also a nice General store within walking distance with everything you would need. Just a beautiful area! Can’t wait to go back!

The campground was really nice. The bathrooms were clean and maintained. The lake was really close for fishing. The only issue we had was upon arrival. We have a 40 ft. 5th wheel and the tree branches scraped the top of our camper. They maintenance people should keep that in mind and trim the branches up higher. Also, I booked a pull-through site that was for a 40 ft. trailer as stated online, but when we arrived, the camp host put us in another spot because our rig was too large. Everything worked out fine, but the online site should be updated and accurate because this could have been an issue since we booked a holiday weekend. Overall, we had a great experience and would stay here again!

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
