Doctor Creek Group Campground is a Forest Service group campground in the Fish Lake Basin, within the Fremont River Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah. Facilities include garbage bins, covered pavilions, tables, ample parking, a restroom and water. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically July and August, when typical highs reach about 80°F and 77°F, and lows sit in the low 50s, according to averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits well below the campground, so temperatures at the site run cooler. A fee is charged to stay here, and the campground has flush toilets. Doctor Creek Rec Site and the Doctor Creek hike both lie about 0.1 mile away, and Mallard Bay Overflow Campground is about 0.2 mile away. The Lakeshore Trail is roughly 1.6 miles off.
