while there are vault toilets, they are nearly a mile from some of the campsites making it very inconvenient

Would have been nice if the campground areas could have been sprayed for mosquitoes
Campgrounds and restrooms were very clean

Lots of big trucks doing construction on the dirt road we were camped on. Starting at 730 in the morning there was lots of noise from the trucks. Definitely not the peaceful get away we were hoping for. Hoping there is a way campers w reservations can be notified in the future - we would have cancelled had we known. Thanks

Bugs were terrible. Biting flies all day long. All of us went home a day early with 40+ bug bites.

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 mi 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!
