Union West Campground

Union West Campground offers 18 first-come, first-serve campsites directly on Union Reservoir at 6,800 feet elevation, with a primitive boat launch nearby and amenities including fire rings, food storage lockers, and vault toilets.

The rough gravel access road requires high clearance vehicles, and while water is not available on-site, the campground is open early June through late September and accommodates tents, trailers, and RVs up to 25 feet.

Popular for kayaking, fishing, and boating (5 mph or less), the campground is best accessed by arriving Wednesday or Thursday during peak season to secure a site.
