About Panguitch Lake

Panguitch Lake Campground is located 14 miles 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.

We enjoyed our stay at the Panguitch Lake campground (North side). It was quiet and peacefull. The camp hosts did an excellent job keeping the campground clean in spite of people trashing the restrooms. We were advised ahead of of our arrival date that campfires would be allowed, which we appreciated. What we didn't like was to arrive and find the dump station out of order and due to all the rain that the area was experiencing the campground seven miles down the road from Panguitch lake also had it's dump station closed. So we had to travel down to the town of Panguitch, which is 17 miles (one way) to dump our RV. If you can send out notices about campfires, then you should also be able to send out notifications about dump stations being closed! An early notification on the dump station situation would have allowed us to dump and fill up in a nearby city before heading up the mountain to the campground.

The camp host at Panquitch Lake Campground is Awesome!!!!
She has been there for the last 3 years that we have been there, we have been camping in this area for about 15 years.
She makes you feel welcome and she is very aware of what is going on at all times in the campground.
She is very pleasant and knowledgeable.
We enjoy the area, the cool weather and the fishing and hiking.

I recently had my family reunion here. The campground was beautiful but I don't think I would return. Camp manager earned the nickname "Kampground Karen". She was up our butts from the second we pulled in. From pulling up to far in the parking lot on the dirt (it was all dirt) to using the wrong bathrooms and having too many cars. we were not problem guests and followed all of the rules but it was a real annoyance to have her looking over our shoulders all weekend when we were there to enjoy ourselves.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
