We had SUCH an amazing time at Otter Creek Reservoir!
This was actually my first time that I can remember ever camping at an actual campground instead of completely roughing it, and I have to say… having real bathrooms AND showers nearby was pretty dang nice. I may be spoiled now!
The lake was definitely low, and despite our best efforts, we didn't even get a single nibble while fishing. And those hikes back and forth between the campsite and the lake? Whew. My body is STILL reminding me about those.
But none of that even mattered. We had such a good time getting away, spending time outside, relaxing, laughing, and just enjoying a change of scenery. I didn't realize how badly I needed a trip like this until we were there.
I'm still recovering and definitely a little tired and sore, but it was 100% worth it.
If you're looking for a beautiful Utah camping spot, I highly recommend Otter Creek Reservoir! We will definitely have to do more campground camping after this!
