About Panguitch Lake

Beautiful campground. Facilities were working and clean. The only issue we had was the parking. We had a big group and the website and the host didnt have the same information regarding how many cars are included with the site. We were glad there was a little parking lot for extra vehicles though. Had a great time. We will be back.

We usually camp here and it’s an amazing experience, but this time it was horrible. Out of nowhere we were informed that we had to pay for an extra vehicle which has never happened before. Then we were also informed even though pre-booking and could’ve been warned that there had been no running water the whole summer. We booked this campsite due to the running water and a bathroom since we do have young children. Instead of running water, they provided us with Porta potties that hadn’t been cleaned for over two weeks and a hand washing station that had no soap, no water and no paper towels. Furthermore, since they were aware that there was no whirling water they failed to inform people who had pre-booked to bring extra water to compensate for their failures. Then we bought firewood, and it had now gone up over four dollars more a bundle than it previously had it. We ended up having to go to the convenience store to obtain extra water due to our lack of water and lack of preparation based on their failures. We found out at the convenience store that their wood bundles are six dollars a bundle not 10 like the campsite is. We were unable to return the extra cost bundles to the campsite so we had to stick with that. additionally, the campsite manager was more concerned about us not having a dog since she didn’t believe on keeping hers on leashes, then she was with making sure anything else was taken care of. This is our usual campsite, and we are completely disappointed in how it was handled and the lack of maintenance of this campsite this year. We will probably not be returning anytime soon due to this.

Nice place, but far from Panguitch town, and no close access to the lake.

We only booked this campsite because they have water and bathrooms with flushed toilets and when we arrived, they had broken pipes so we had no water the entire camping trip and had to use a portapotty the entire time. The only refund they gave us was for $39 when our total bill was over $200. Half our camping party turned around and drove home because they did not want to camp with no water. Would have thought we would have gotten a larger refund or at least have been notified of no water so we could have cancelled before we got there
