About this campground
Tucked away in the scenic Blacksmith Fork Canyon, Spring Campground offers an intimate retreat with just three secluded campsites. This hidden gem provides the perfect balance of wilderness solitude and essential amenities, including sturdy picnic tables, warming fire rings, and clean vault toilets. Adventure seekers will discover themselves at the doorstep of pristine hiking trails, crystal-clear fishing waters, and exhilarating ATV routes that wind through the canyon's dramatic landscape.
Spring Campground is a small, rustic facility offering camping accommodations for tents and possibly small RVs. It features 3 individual sites and does not provide group sites, cabins, or glamping options.
ElevationPerched at 6,000 feet above sea level, Spring Campground offers a refreshing mountain escape where cool breezes and crisp air provide natural relief from summer's heat. The higher elevation creates an ideal climate for comfortable camping, with temperatures typically running 10-15 degrees cooler than the valley below.
Natural Features and SceneryA canopy of majestic maple trees creates a natural cathedral overhead, their broad leaves filtering sunlight into a gentle, dappled glow across the campground. Beneath your feet, soft meadow grasses sway alongside vibrant wildflowers that paint the landscape in seasonal colors. The melodic sounds of the Left Hand Fork river provide a soothing soundtrack, while nearby trails beckon explorers deeper into this mountain paradise.
Geological RegionSpring Campground rests within the breathtaking Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, where the rugged peaks of Blacksmith Fork Canyon create a dramatic backdrop for your outdoor adventures. This remarkable landscape showcases nature's artistry through its stunning contrast of dense maple groves and sun-drenched meadows, all carved by ancient geological forces that shaped these mountain valleys over millennia.
