Wasatch Mountain State Park has issued Stage 1 restrictions prohibiting open fires, except when used in approved fire rings or grills at developed campgrounds or day-use areas on public lands equipped with a pressurized running water system. According to a notice on the Utah State Parks website, campgrounds remain open for use.
Several areas, including Pine Canyon, Tibble Fork, Snake Creek, Alpine Loop, and Guardsmans Pass, are closed for the winter. Within the park, the Soldier Hollow Loop and the Chalet Loop at Soldier Hollow are open, though they are located six miles from the traditional camping area in the Pine Creek Campground. In the Pine Creek Campground, the Cottonwood, Mahogany, and Oak Hollow loops are open.
Cabin rentals remain available through the winter season, with reservations possible via Reserve America or by phone. The park is also accepting applications for camp hosts for the May through October season. Additionally, the visitor center is seeking two volunteers per day to assist with front desk shifts.
Day-use fees are in effect year-round, with costs set at $10 per car for non-seniors and $5 per car for seniors (65+), for up to eight people. The Friends of Wasatch Mountain State Park, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, continues to work with park staff to fund projects and preserve the ecological integrity of the 23,000-acre preserve.
