Paiute Campground is a first-come, first-served Forest Service campground in the Fremont River Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah. Vault toilets are available, and water is provided during the regular operating season. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 53°F, while winter highs stay in the low 30s. That station sits about 1,300 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at Paiute run cooler. Several other spots lie within a short drive. Reflection Spring and the Rock Canyon Equestrian Trail are both about half a mile away, and the Tasha Equestrian Rec Site is also about half a mile off. Frying Pan - Rec Site is roughly 1.5 miles away.
