Elkhorn Campground

Elkhorn Campground sits at 9,300 feet on Thousand Lake Mountain in Fishlake National Forest, offering 8 campsites (1 group site for up to 75 people, 7 single sites on first-come-first-serve basis) with vault toilets, picnic tables, and grills.

The campground provides excellent access to alpine lakes for fishing and miles of trails including the Great Western Trail for hiking and biking, though it's closed seasonally from November through May and has a 16-day camping limit.

Located 20 miles northeast of Loa, Utah via Forest Road 206 (narrow, steep dirt road), the site features thick aspen, pine, and spruce forest with abundant summer wildflowers.
