About Panguitch Lake

Panguitch Lake Campground is located 14 mi southwest of Panguitch, Utah.

Just problem with a group of campers staying up all night turning their car off and on all night long. Finally left at 430 in the morning. They had their lantern on all night. Very beautiful camp grounds. Fishing very fun. Great camp host

The website says Evergreen group site is 35 people max vehicles 6. I had 2 know how many tents & if the 6 vehicles included the trailers. The reservation people did not know, they gave me another # to call and this # didn't know either. They put me on hold & finally was told the 6 vehicles = trailers AND vehicles. I asked, so this means I can have 6 trucks pulling 6 camping trailers & was told YES. We get to the site and it's tiny. Lucky to fit 3 trucks & 2 trailers & I had invited 3 other couples. The female camp host (Joni? Jodi?) came by as my husband is backing up his trailer. She tells him he can't back up on the "grass" (the weeds surrounding the drive way). He is maybe 10-12 inches on the "grass". I go talk to her because of the size of the campsite, she says we cannot have 6 trailers. I explain I was told I could, I was about to tell her the name and phone # that I called and she cut me off and said "the reservation and corporate" don't know, they've never been here. She proceeds in telling us the rules. I tell her where am I going to put my friends when they show up. She didn't care, she said she's sold out. Then kept interrupting me as I was helping my husband backing up the trailer. I wanted him to move to the very end of the pad to make room for the other vehicles and she would yell and say its fine, you're fine right there. Excuse me? Did you not hear that I have possibly 4 more vehicles coming & I don't know if they are bringing tents or trailers. UGH she was horrible. That night as we are sitting at the picnic tables my friend gets off the bench and sits in a chair and puts her feet on the bench she had just sat on, and the entire bench falls over. The bench top was not screwed to the "feet". Next morning same camp host comes back & we tell her what happened, she didn't believe us! We showed her & asked for another table with a secure bench & she LAUGHED & said some of these sites don't even have tables. NEVER AGAIN will we stay there!

Campsites were spaced out, bathrooms were clean, lots of shade from the trees.
The burger barn down the road (next to the general store) has free wifi if you need it.

  • 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.

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.
