Overview
Manti Community Campground is just 7 miles east of Manti, Utah next to Yearns Reservoir at an elevation of 7,400 feet. Visitors enjoy fishing, canoeing and exploring local trails. Accessible by dirt road, no high clearance needed.
Recreation
Canoeing and fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout are popular activities on the small but scenic man-made reservoir. A short, easy trail traverses around Yearns Reservoir with fishing access points on the north, west, and south sides of the lake. The trail includes a wooden bridge, two stream crossings, a set of wooden stairs, and both shaded and exposed areas. Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are also favorite activities in the area.
Facilities
The campground contains one group site that can accommodate up to 30 people and six vehicles. Single-family sites are available as well. Multiple vault toilets are provided, along with access footpaths leading down to Yearns Reservoir. Roads and parking spurs are gravel.
Natural Features
A mixed forest of spruce, pinyon, juniper, fir and aspen covers the area, offering partial shade. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant. Situated on a hill above Yearns Reservoir with multiple access trails.
Nearby Attractions
The surrounding area is a haven for ATV enthusiasts. Several trails, primarily for 66-inch OHVs, crisscross the region, making up part of the 350-plus miles of the exciting Arapeen OHV Trail System. In the immediate area is the Burnt Hill Trail that connects with the Patton Trail, beginning at the Manti Loop Patton Trailhead. Milky Falls can also be found nearby.
