About: Wolf Creek Campground is located on the summit of scenic Wolf Creek Highway, at an elevation of 9,400 feet. Thick stands of pines offer plentiful shade, and aspens dot the area. Colorful wildflowers fill the mountain meadows on the summit, and wildlife is abundant in the area.
The 3.5 mile Trail Hollow trail begins in the campground and offers great hiking into the West Fork of the Duchesne and has unparalleled views of the Wasatch Range. Soapstone Basin, only 8 miles north of the campground, offers miles of designated dirt trails for ATV/OHV enthusiasts and mountain bikers. Bird watching is also spectacular in the area.
This campground has two group sites; site #1 can accommodate up to 60 people, and #2 can accommodate up to 30 people. A large amphitheater sits above group site #1, is surrounded by pines and wildflowers, and has a cement stage, numerous wooden benches and a large fire pit. This campground is subject to early winters and late springs and can open later and/or close earlier than expected.
