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.

Campsite #35 was adequate for my F150 six-pax w/6.5' cargo bed and 16' trailer to park. The picnic table was about 2" away from being level making it necessary to shim one end of my Coleman stove to achieve level.

The Panguitch Lake North Campground is in a very desirable location. This year's camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. As almost every visitor knows, this campground looks like it has had no capital improvement since it was built -- 50 to 75 years ago.

Many of the trees are too close to the road and make driving an RV challenging. A clearing of three or four feet from the blacktop edge would be a major improvement and not have a negative effect on the campground's natural surroundings. The national forest in this area is large and could easily accommodate the expansion of the campground. The restroom while functional, it is too small for a relatively large campground.

We love the campground, but the “after 10:00 pm noise was pretty bad this year! Not just one group making it either!

  • 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.
