Camping at Panguitch Lake near Cedar City

Public campground · Cedar City · 46 campsites · 3 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Panguitch Lake sits high on the Colorado Plateau at about 8,400 feet, the campground tucked into a stand of ponderosa pine on a hillside roughly a quarter mile above the water. The lake lives up to its Paiute-derived name "big fish" with regular catches of rainbow, brook, cutthroat and brown trout, and two public boat landings (one on the south shore and another at Wildlife Point on the north shore) that make launching a canoe, kayak or small boat straightforward.

“The hostess was very approachable. Bathroom always cleaned. Water spigot was very accessible at site # 35. Campground was near a general store.”

How far ahead to book Panguitch Lake

For July weekends, book about 124 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 56 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (6,865 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
