Pelican Lake Campground

How does Pelican Lake Campground redefine the camping experience? At an elevation of 4,800 feet in Utah's Uintah Basin, this small and serene campground offers abundance, featuring primitive camping that is all about immersion in nature, outstanding fishing opportunities, and proximity to unique attractions. With 11 individual campsites and 2 group sites, it provides a more intimate outdoor experience than expected, yet doesn’t skimp on access to essentials like a boat ramp and drinking water.

Known for its Blue Ribbon fishery status, Pelican Lake is particularly celebrated for trophy-sized bluegill, as well as largemouth bass and catfish, making it a dream destination for fishing enthusiasts. It's situated just 25 miles from the towns of Roosevelt and Vernal, ensuring you’re not too far from conveniences, while still enjoying tranquil seclusion. Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can explore the prehistoric marvels of Dinosaur National Monument or the sandstone vistas of Red Fleet and Steinaker State Parks. For those seeking a low-frill escape infused with rich natural and geological offerings, this campground is a perfect fit.
