Perfect for tent camping. Site 31 has a fire pit and picnic table. Host was attentive and kind. Firewood can be purchased for $9 via cash or check. This spot is further away from the lake, but ultimately paid off as it was also more secluded from noise and nighttime activity. Facilities are also well-maintained with trash disposals within easy walking distance throughout the campgrounds.

Trial Lake is very popular among families, so expect lots of children, dogs, paddle boarders, fishermen, etc.

For birders interested in the site, I had great views of the following species sitting still for 45 minutes at the picnic table: American Three-toed Woodpecker, Clark's Nutcracker, Northern Flicker, Dark-eyed Junco, White-crowned Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, American Robin.

Other birds of interest heard from this site: Red-naped Sapsucker, Brown Creeper, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

We will definitely be back!

This is my first time camping in the Uinta mountains. I absolutely loved the scenery and the camping space. It was very quiet and relaxing. The only thing I would think of is that on site 29 at trial lake, you can’t back your trailer in as it faces toward the oncoming lane. I had to take my trailer off and push it into the space due to not enough room. Overall, though it is amazing.

Amazing Campground in a gorgeous area. No cell service (which I love) and an easy walk to the lake. Only complaint is that our sites were advertised that they could fit a trailer (19 and 20). While we did get the trailer in, these two sites (along with several others) aren't angled the right way for you to be able to back in if you go around the loop the wrong way. I ended up backing up my trailer the 175 yards of the road to site #20, which was an adventure.

Cool place, but several sites should be advertised as trailer friendly if you can't back in to them if you go around the loop the right way.

Site 47 was amazing. On the edge of the campground so extra quite and secluded. Parking is a double wide and extra deep so more than enough space for two vehicles and then some. Extra large picnic table too! Plenty of space to pitch tents. Would reccommend this site if you have 2 families sharing the campsite. We had a great time.
