A local favorite, Payson Lakes Campground is nestled in a thickly forested area with stands of aspen and fir trees. Resting at an elevation of 8,000 feet, the campground is on the shores of three lakes: McClelland, Box and Big East Lake.
The area is full of activity, with hiking and biking trails, fishing, horseback riding, swimming and (non-motorized) boating. There is also a paved walking and jogging path around the lake for campers to enjoy. The area is located just off at National Scenic Byway, about 12 miles from Payson, Utah
