This little gem of a campground/lake has been a well-kept secret for many years. Over the last 19-years I have been staying at this campground, its popularity has grown where reservations are now necessary on holiday weekends. In the past, one could just show up and have no worries about getting a campsite. This is also evident with the fishing pressure on the small lake. I have noticed that the stocked fish (rainbow and brook trout) have been smaller over-all; however, it is still the best little lake and campground within a three-state radius. Just a "short" eight-hour drive from my home in California, it by far is a better experience than the Eastern Sierra Mountain lakes only six-hours from my home. In addition, the out-of-state Utah fishing license is less expensive than the in-state fishing license in California.
The town of Escalante is a mere 16 miles down the mountain making beer and ice runs easy and accessible. There are no showers at the campground; however, showers are available for a small fee at the Escalante Outfitters in Escalante. Potable water, though, is available at the campground as are state-of-the-art toilets. The entire Boulder Mountain and it's primitive alpine lakes are at your doorstep provided you have the proper four-wheel drive vehicle or ATV.
Day trips from Posey Lake abound: Hole-in-the-Rock road; Hell's Backbone Trail; exploring the Burr Trail and Grand Staircase National Monument; and Capital Reef National Park are all within a day's travel.
The only negative experiences come from either other campers (which is rare) or the occasional "dud" of a campground host. Fortunately, I understand they eventually fired the terrible campground host. Other times (and it's only happened two or three times in 19 years) there has been NO campground host initially over Memorial Day Weekend. This resulted in having no water available as no one was around at the start of the season to have it tested.
