It was a beautiful place! There were good places to set up tents or pull up campers. Good amount of dead wood around for fires.

Great campsite! We stayed at Group A campsite and it was beautiful. There was a restroom nearby that was very clean and the workers were actually cleaning it when we got there on a Monday. We had 4 rigs with us, 1 40-ft Class A, 2 40-ft Super Cs and 1 35-ft 5th wheel toy hauler and we all were able to make it into the site without too much trouble. The last section getting into the campsite was uphill a bit, something I was not able to tell by looking at Google Earth beforehand which was a little nerve wracking, and the 2nd to the last straight away had a large rut in the road one side so we had to straddle it going up that hill. That was the only scary part but once there, it was a great site!

The roads need to be filled in and graded

This was the most beautiful spot (#38)!! It's a huge campsite with lots of room and no neighbors, fantastic view. My kids loved scampering around on fallen logs and chasing tadpoles in the little pond. We went for a walk along the road and a little bit onto the ATV trails for beautiful views. We hiked 2 miles in and then back on the Left Fork of Huntington Trail that is nearby. We love this area!
BUT, we arrived later than we planned and it was pitch dark and we could not find our way to our campsite. We wandered around for quite a while and could not find it. We gave up and picked a random spot that was not reserved, then found it in the daylight the next morning and moved. We'd missed the kiosk near the entrance, in the dark, that had a camp map. Better campsite number signage would've been helpful. We didn't have cell service to look up a map. I think I'd print one out at home ahead of time next time.
The flies at site 38 were super frustrating. The spot was absolutely beautiful and wonderful but the flies were really a pest. I'd look for some way to ward them off next time. And it is a bit far from the toilet. But, I loved the seclusion and the setting.
We also really enjoyed driving along Hwy 31. The whole area is just beautiful! We camped down in Forks of Huntington campground last year and did the full Left Fork Hike, took about 4 hours from top to bottom (much of it in the rain but we had a blast -- glad I'd packed rain ponchos). Gorgeous hike and tons of fun! The canyon and the national forest are a hidden gem in Utah!
