I’m giving our trip to Panguitch Lake a “poor” rating not because the site or camp host was poor, those both were actually great. We loved our time there. I’m rating this poor because the online reservation system of specific sites is poor. Apparently across the country it’s this way. But why would you show a site that’s already been reserved and paid for as “first come first served” instead of a very obvious “blocked out” or “unavailable!?”” Labeling it so unclearly /this way allows a reserved site to get mixed in and confused with the other specific “first come first serve” sites. This is terribly misleading to unknowing customers, travelers, recreationers. If you’re not aware of this, watch out! Just because a site says it’s “first come first served” on a specific day does not mean it is. On reservable sites it means it actually is already booked. Unfortunately, as relatively new camp site users (we’ve dry camped for years and years) we had to learn this the hard way last week at Panguitch Lake. Lesson learned for next time. Gratefully our camp host (Jocelyn) was amazing and helped us figure out an alternative plan, without which our family trip would’ve been ruined. So, the request is for Recreation.gov to fix this terribly misleading approach and just make it simply obvious that a site is reserved already and don’t make it look like the other “FF” sites, please! For the love of Pete. As for the rest of us, until they do beware and we’ll know better next time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Panguitch. Our only complaints is that compared to other sites, is this one was a bit more cramped. The bathrooms did not have soap or a means to dry your hands. But the sites and bathrooms were clean. Our site was surrounded by tall pine trees. We will be back.

Campsite was clean and well maintained. The camp host and her staff were friendly and professional. it is refreshing to see a camp host that is out and about the campground but not being nosey or overbearing. Jocelyn was very helpful when we decided to extend our stay one more day and got everything taken care of in a timely manner. We will definitely be returning here!

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.
