Strawberry Bay Campground

Is there a better place for escaping into Utah’s outdoor playground than Strawberry Bay Campground, where a vast reservoir meets endless recreational opportunities? Positioned along the shores of Strawberry Reservoir, this expansive campground combines a spectacular natural setting with robust amenities for a premier camping experience. Whether you’re drawn to the unparalleled fishing, scenic boating, or nearby trails teeming with adventure, this destination caters to outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds.

The campground, located 23 miles east of Heber City within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, features 353 campsites, including spaces tailored for tents, RVs, and group gatherings. Some sites offer full hookups, and nearly all provide picnic tables, fire rings, and easy access to potable water. Modern conveniences extend to flush toilets, trash services, and a dump station, while the nearby Strawberry Bay Marina enhances the appeal with rental boats, a boat ramp, slip rentals, and a fish-cleaning station. Despite the large size of the campground, rolling sagebrush hills and reservoir vistas create a sense of spaciousness, though shade is sparse due to scattered, small pines.

Strawberry Bay Reservoir itself is a mecca for anglers, boasting renowned fishing for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and Kokanee salmon. Water sports enthusiasts will find ample opportunities for boating, canoeing, and water skiing, while the 75-mile Strawberry OHV Trail System and other hiking and biking trails nearby offer further exploration. Visitors can also enjoy horseback riding, wildlife viewing, and educational stops like the Strawberry Visitor Center. For a weekend retreat or an extended adventure, Strawberry Bay is a must-visit, seamlessly blending natural splendor with recreational accessibility.
