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.

would not recommend this campsite due to the extremely unprofessional management. From the start, the staff were rude and dismissive, and instead of making us feel welcome, they only came around to complain about our group — even though other campers were doing the exact same things we were. What made the situation worse was the way we were treated differently compared to others, which came across as discriminatory and racist.

Campsites should be about creating a safe, inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy the outdoors, but that was not the case here. We left feeling singled out and unwelcome. Management needs serious training in customer service, fairness, and respect. Until then, I would strongly recommend camping elsewhere.

Campsite #6 is nice and long and accommodated our 33 ft trailer just fine. The site and entire campground is very clean. The multiple camp hosts are always available and answered any questions we had. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful campground! You can tell the camp hosts really care. #11 has a beautiful view of the lake and had plenty of room for our 3 kids to play. Our only complaint is that the bathrooms were a little far from our site but they are nice with flush toilets so they are worth the walk.

We were in site 11 which was lovely with beautiful views of a meadow with deer and cows in the distance, and a little view of the lake. Plenty of space between sites. Bathrooms were clean with flush toilets and sink. Camp host was friendly and helpful. The camp management company was especially helpful prior to arrival answering questions about fire smoke and swimming in the lake, and taking the time to research and call me back to inform me that the water issue had been resolved. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that there is no signage to direct you to your site--luckily we came in the right way to be able to access our site. Also no signs to the dump station which is offsite, and the campground staff has to meet you there to fill your trailer tank with potable water.

  • 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.

    • 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.

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.
