Camping at Frying Pan near Loa

Public campground · Loa · 10 campsites · 1 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

The recreational draw here is Fish Lake itself Utah's largest natural mountain lake at about 2,500 acres three miles away, where anglers chase large Mackinaw (lake) trout often in the 20 40 pound range, as well as rainbow trout and splake. Boating, canoeing, swimming and even scuba diving are common on the lake, and the Lakeshore National Recreation Trail runs along the eastern side for hikers willing to gain roughly 900 feet for expansive water views.

How far ahead to book Frying Pan

For June weekends, book about 114 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 45 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May38 days ahead68 days ahead——
June45 days ahead114 days ahead62 days ahead119 days ahead
July39 days ahead83 days ahead72 days ahead158 days ahead
August22 days ahead52 days ahead47 days ahead134 days ahead

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 (987 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.
