Starvation State Park

We reserved the Indian Loop group site for a collecting point before entering into Desolation Canyon for a raft trip. The group site is fantastic. The restrooms are clean the reservation system is easy to use, and the area can easily accommodate six trucks with trailers and rafts on them leaving plenty of room for people to sleep. The water front is beautiful. Nice to get out of the truck and walk around the lake, and kids love to play in the water. The covered Pavilion offers you an opportunity to set up a dinner for everyone or a breakfast before you head out to the river. Park staff is very kind and helpful. Highly recommend this park if you need a collecting spot for people traveling from many different directions. Keep in mind that the production nature of this area means that there is a constant stream of semis on the highway and moving through town. I would recommend bringing some earplugs to help dampen the noise a little at night. The town of Duchesne offers you an opportunity to pick up any last minute items you need or enjoy a nice Mexican dish or other food items. Keep in mind that this lake is Breezy so wind is likely during your stay. Our State and National parks can use all the support they can get right now, so give it a try if this area might fit your agenda.

Beautiful place to camp. The lake is cold and refreshing on a hot day. Bathrooms are cleaner than any campground bathroom I've ever seen! Covered picnic tables. And the RV site was super level.

Really nice looking lake, the water looks perfect. Had to stop and check it out. 👍

Stayed in Indian Bay camp ground. Pretty close to the water, only a short 5 minute walk. Kids loved playing in the sand as well as the water. Hot during the days and cool during the night.

I’m revising my review now that we’ve been to the beach. First impressions were not positive. We did not like our campsite in the Mountain View portion. The sites are crammed together like a KOA and there were noisy people all around us. If we had not come on the weekend, we may have had a better impression. There were bits of trash in our spot. The positives are the shelter and firepits and we had the only site with trees. We drove through the beach campground which was even more crowded. The third day, we went to the beach and found it to be very nice. Beautiful lake, clean clear water. We would return if we could get a better spot and not on the weekend. Flies are an issue.

Expect parking lots to be full on holiday weekends. Bathrooms are generally very clean, as is the rest of the park. Water is deep and cool, and the fishing is great. Plenty of little coves to relax, Swim, or even cliff jump at.

We stayed at Indian Bay Campground, almost all of the camp sites are great, but the best ones are the ones near the shore with a spectacular view and quick access to the beach area some are big enough for rv's and others for tents only, no hook ups at this campground, vault restrooms that were pretty clean. Water Level is good.Fishing, paddle boarding and all your other water sports are sure to be fun here. The only issue was the trash bins were overfilled and trash scattered around the camp grounds, maintenance can do a better job at this and so can we, pick up after yourself and keep this place as nice as it naturally is..👍

Love this spot. The bathrooms are always clean. The staff is so friendly. There is a drinking water picket, power and showers available. The lake is just feet away from your campsite.

Very pretty campground. But the sprinklers ran in our campsite all weekend long. The camp host said, they were working on lines which was fine in the day. We got up the next morning the sprinklers that ran all night long. so I turned off the waterline since we've asked him four times to do it. They got pissy and yelled at me ,don't touch our water lines we've been working on them all night long!They were working on the water all night long ,right! I didn't want to load up in a mud hole with the sprinklers running. Beautiful lake, with a pissy staff. The people at the front check-in booth were very friendly and professional.
