Overview

Anderson Meadow Campground is nestled above Anderson Meadow Reservoir in the Fishlake National Forest. The area boasts spectacular high mountain scenery and excellent fishing.

Recreation

Fishing for brook and rainbow trout in the eight-acre Anderson Meadow Reservoir is popular from either the shoreline or small non-motorized boat. Trailheads to the Piute ATV trail are close by.

Facilities

Anderson Meadow Campground has eight single family campsites and two multiple family campsites. Sites are back-in only and will accommodate 24 to 40 feet long trailers. All units have prep tables, campfire rings and picnic tables. Drinking water is available throughout the campground. There are two vault toilets in the campground. Camping limit is 14 days.

No hook-ups or dump station are available. The nearest dump station is located in Beaver, Utah.

Natural Features

The campground is surrounded by a mix of aspen and conifers. The trees provide a range of shade depending on campsite locations with a majority of the sites well-shaded.

The Fishlake National Forest offers spectacular vistas and opportunities to view wildlife in their natural habitat. Elk, deer, black bear, moose, cougar and mountain goats are some of the large animals that call the forest home.

Nearby Attractions

The Piute ATV Trail is nearby; however there is no access directly from the campground. Be prepared to trailer ATVs to the nearby trailheads for access.
