Ask an AI about this campsiteOpens Grok already loaded with this site. It reads the same records this page is built from, and links whatever it tells you.
Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this as a developed campground. Expect marked sites, a fee station or a reservation, and the usual campground rules. The dispersed-camping freedom of the surrounding forest does not apply inside it. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

The unit that manages Strawberry Bay
Stay limits, road closures and fire restrictions at Strawberry Bay are set by Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, not by the campsite — check there before you go.
Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Strawberry Divide at 8,100 ft, about 2 miles away. It sits about 354 ft higher than this camp, so treat it as a guide rather than a reading for this spot. We do not repeat a depth here, because any number we stored would be stale by the time you read it — the station publishes today's.

Confidence
Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
How it was placed
Developed FEE campground (not free) - review | auto:usfs-fee 2026-08-20: US Forest Service developed campground, agency coordinates, agency states a fee. No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-24: $37.23 per night for a standard non-electric single site and $49.23 for a standard or RV ELECTRIC site, for the current 2026-05-08 to 2026-10-10 peak season; a double non-electric site is $72.68, the group site is $243.75 and the group shelter is $366.07. This is one of the few campgrounds in this batch with hookups, which is why there is a $12 spread between site types. The Uinta-Wasatch-Cache page publishes no amount. One navigation caveat: recreation.gov's facility coordinate for 231932 sits about 1.0 mi from our pin; the pin matches the coordinate the forest page itself prints. Sources: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231932 and https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/uinta-wasatch-cache/recreation/strawberry-bay-campground (last updated June 5, 2026).

Field check
On the agency's books. The land manager inventoried this site, so its existence is not in question — current conditions are. Nobody from here has camped it recently.
What we don’t know about Strawberry Bay
A land record can put you within a few meters of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
- Road surface & last-mile access
- How many rigs actually fit
- Cell coverage by carrier
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
- Whether a listed EV charger works today, or the road miles to it
