I went to the Podunk GS for quiet and solitude. Without a proper gate on the main road, this was impossible. Every day, at least 10-20 ATV'ers pulled in, wandering around, using the outhouse, asking questions, picnicking, I kid you not, looking at the gear in my utility trailer, and all chances of a quiet afternoon nap vanished. Please put in a gate, chain, or something.

The cabin was awesome and the scenery was beautiful. My only complaint was there was no gate at the entrance of the property. When we first arrived I thought I had the wrong day because there was a car and a Razer parked at the cabin along with 3 trucks. Apparently some of them were there to use the outdoor bathroom and some just wanted to fish in the stream by the cabin. The bathroom people did their business and left but the fishermen stayed another 3 hours!!!! Then later, every four wheeler and razor that drove by (and there where plenty) stopped to use our outdoor bathroom. They were coming by at 1:00 in the morning. We finally blocked the road with a fallen tree. There needs to be a gate put at the entrance of this amazing place.

The Podunk Guard Station has a perfect setting -- its own beaver ponds (miraculously mosquito-free), green meadows and surrounding hills and cliffs. The hiking trails nearby (especially Crawford Pass) are every bit as stunning as those in nearby Bryce National Park. Serene, peaceful, spotlessly clean and quaint. Your whole vacation could consist of sitting on the great front porch.

This was our second time staying at Podunk Guard Station. We love it here! The weather was beautiful. A new latrine was built between our last stay (summer 2019) and this stay, which was nice--it was very clean, especially for a vault toilet! Podunk is located very close to Bryce Canyon as well as to Kodachrome Basin State Park. Both are worth a visit. The only reason I didn't give a 5-star review is because the lock code we were given from recreation.gov was the incorrect number--two of the digits were switched. We figured this out after a little trial and error, but if we hadn't this error could have made our trip take a very unfortunate turn. We will be visiting again!
