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.

Me and my family had a great time the lake was beautiful and I love to see the cows by the lake. it was very warm at nights you only needed a sleeping bag and I also loved not having wifi only because you have to socialize with each other.no phone is kinda bad if you have a situation you need to call family to see what happened to them but that is the only downside.
