Mahogany Cove Campground

How does a serene meadow surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Tushar Range sound for your next camping destination? Mahogany Cove Campground, 12 miles east of Beaver, Utah, on the Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway, combines proximity to outdoor adventures with the tranquility of Fishlake National Forest. At 7,200 feet, the campground offers cool mountain air and access to a wealth of activities, including hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and scenic drives.

The campground features a group site encompassing seven individual sites, each equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. A spacious playfield near the entrance provides room for recreation, and stands of mahogany, juniper, and ponderosa pines offer partial shade. Amenities include vault toilets, drinking water, gravel roads, and parking spurs, though campers should come prepared with their own trash bags due to its pack-in, pack-out policy. The lack of hookups enhances the area’s rustic charm but may require planning for RV users. Its location along SR-153 ensures accessibility but also means some road noise is present, so caution is advised with children and pets.

Nearby, the Beaver River teems with rainbow and brook trout, while the Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway offers a 17-mile journey through the stunning Tushar Mountains. With its combination of natural beauty, versatile activities, and practical amenities, Mahogany Cove is ideal for group camping excursions, weekend getaways, and peaceful nature retreats.
