About the Area
Yuba Lake, located within Yuba State Park, is a hidden gem in central Utah, offering a peaceful retreat for water sports, fishing, and relaxation. The lake’s sandy beaches and clear waters make it a favorite for swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking, while its surrounding desert landscapes provide a dramatic backdrop. The area is known for its exceptionally dark skies, earning high ratings on the Bortle Scale for stargazing due to low light pollution, making it a prime spot to marvel at the Milky Way or catch meteor showers. Nearby hiking trails and off-road vehicle routes in the surrounding hills cater to adventure seekers, while the quiet ambiance suits those craving tranquility.
Location

Yuba Lake/Yuba State Park: Situated in Juab and Sanpete Counties, approximately 30 miles south of Nephi, Utah, and 100 miles south of Salt Lake City (about a 1.5-hour drive from Salt Lake County via I-15).

Relation to Utah and Salt Lake Counties: Yuba Lake is in central Utah, easily accessible from Utah County (e.g., 60 miles south of Provo, a 1-hour drive) and Salt Lake County. Its location off I-15 makes it a convenient escape for urban dwellers seeking nature without a long trek.

Proximity to National and State Parks:
National Parks: Yuba Lake is a great base for exploring Utah’s “Mighty Five” national parks. It’s approximately 2.5 hours from Zion National Park (140 miles south) and Bryce Canyon National Park (150 miles south), and 3.5 hours from Capitol Reef National Park (180 miles southeast). Arches and Canyonlands are farther, about 4.5 hours east (230–250 miles).

State Parks: Beyond Yuba State Park, nearby state parks include Goblin Valley State Park (3 hours southeast, known for its whimsical rock formations) and Great Salt Lake State Park (2 hours north, near Salt Lake City). Wasatch Mountain State Park in Utah County (1.5 hours northeast) offers golfing and hiking.

Local Attractions: The small towns of Nephi and Levan provide basic amenities (grocery stores, gas stations), while the surrounding region offers historical sites like the Tintic Mining District (40 miles west) and scenic drives through the San Pitch Mountains.

Amazing stay.

Having our site right on the beach and away from the crowd was amazing. Me and my wife have always wanted to visit yuba and this was definitely the way to do it.

The map provided lead us to the middle of a dirt road, it was late at night. The first signage we saw said no fires allowed. Did not receive information about which unit we were staying in, had to reach out to 3 different people as the first one did not answer and neither did the second one. Very sad that we couldn’t have a fire in the fire pit. No heater so we were very cold throughout the night. Our window zipper was broken so we could not insulate the tent. Upon waking up we all needed to use the restroom and sink. No running water and the toilet was full of toilet paper and someone else’s waste. Sink had quite a bit of sand in it. Made for a pretty expensive stay without some of the basic amenities that were said to be available. Reached out to management via VRBO messaging, not really a follow up to the issues.
