Ledgefork Campground

What sets Ledgefork Campground apart is its serene location above Smith and Morehouse Reservoir, where the murmuring of Smith and Morehouse Creek blends with the tranquil rustling of aspen and conifer forests. Ideal for those seeking solitude and natural beauty, this 7,800-foot elevation campground offers a peaceful retreat with remarkable access to hiking, fishing, and paddling opportunities.

The campground features both single and double sites, each equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and access to vault toilets. Drinking water is available, and firewood can be purchased on-site. While lacking modern hookups or showers, its setting within the lush Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest compensates with abundant wildlife and direct access to the 12-mile Smith and Morehouse Trail, a favorite for both hikers and backpackers. The nearby reservoir is perfect for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, with a boat ramp available for easy access.

Located 14 miles east of Oakley, Utah, Ledgefork Campground is comfortably distant from urban distractions but close enough for convenient access. Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can explore the charming surroundings of Weber Canyon or venture deeper into the high-elevation landscapes of the Uinta Mountains. This campground is best suited for weekend getaways or extended outdoor escapes that prioritize immersion in nature over modern conveniences.
