Too many campers, too close. Too many rules. No nearby trails for hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding.

Currant Creek Campground is praised for its beautiful surroundings, clean facilities, and accommodating hosts who are helpful and friendly. Many visitors enjoy the spacious sites and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a great spot for camping and outdoor activities. However, concerns have been raised about the road conditions and maintenance of restrooms, especially due to water shortages affecting some amenities.

THE HOSTS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. EXCELLENT HOSTS.
BUT CURRANT CREEK HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
1) ALL SITES ARE NOW RESERVATION ONLY. THAT'S TERRIBLE. MY WORK SCHEDULE VARIES -- WHICH MEANS I CANNOT GO TO CURRANT CREEK AGAIN BECAUSE I MUST HAVE A RESERVATION.
YOUR NEW 'RESERVATION ONLY' SYSTEM IS MEAN. GO BACK TO THE OLD WAY -- SOME SITES WITH RESERVATIONS, OTHERS ARE WALK IN.
2) ALSO. CURRANT CREEK IS NOW A LAWLESS PLACE. FOREST SERVICE NEEDS TO ENFORCE THE RULES.
A) PEOPLE PUT UP TENTS RIGHT WHERE THERE ARE 'NO CAMPING' SIGNS.
B) TRUCKS DRIVE BEYOND FISHERMENS PARKING -- RIGHT OVER THE GRASS AND BUSHES -- AND PARK FOR THE DAY AT THE EDGE OF THE WATER.
C) MOTORHOMES PARK FOR THE WEEKEND RIGHT ON THE ROAD. ENFORCE THE RULES.

From Heber City, Utah, take Highway 40 east for 45 mi to the Currant Creek Junction. Turn off the highway and travel in a northwest direction approximately 17 mi to the campground. The road from the highway is paved for 10 mi and graded gravel for 7 mi.
Stay on the most traveled road. When there are Y's in the road, stay on the road on the east side of Currant Creek, following the Creek to the dam. When you get to the dam, follow the road almost all the way around the reservoir, and you will find the campground near the southwest end of the lake, a short distance from the dam.
Alternate Route:
Take US Highway 40 from Heber City and travel approximately 22 mi southeast to FS Road 082 (Coop Creek Road). There is a Coop Creek sign on the north side of Highway 40. Turn north (left) at the sign and travel approximately 8 mi north. At that point there is another sign for Currant Creek Campground. Turn right at the sign and travel approximately 6 more miles east and south to the campground.
Currant Creek Campground is accessible via US Highway 40, which is approximately 22 miles from Heber City. From Highway 40, the campground can be reached via FS Road 082 after turning onto Coop Creek Road.
