Currant Creek Campground is a Forest Service site in the Heber-Kamas Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, about 24 miles from Kamas. It sits next to Currant Creek Reservoir, which holds rainbow and cutthroat trout, and the surrounding forest is dominated by aspen, fir and lodgepole pine. The campground has a host on site and offers a range of facilities, including paved roads and parking spurs, a dump station, a boat ramp, fire rings, grills, picnic tables, a handicap accessible fishing pier and a playground. Flush toilets are among the amenities. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Kamas weather station show July highs around 84°F with lows near 50°F, and the station sits about 1,400 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at the reservoir run cooler. Nearby trails include Coal Mine Hollow Trail, about 1.7 miles away, and Co-op Creek Trail, about 4.2 miles away. Sleepy Hollow and Willow Creek North are both within about 8 miles.
