For the Father's Day weekend, we went up to the Barkers. We camped in the Gates Group site and it was pretty warm when we set-up. A nap in the shade was comfortable, though. After burgers on the grill, we went to Upper Barker and put our feet in the water. Then we went back for a campfire and marshmallows. On Sunday morning we hiked around Lower Barker and put our feet in the creek. When we packed-up, it seemed hot. By the time we got back to town we knew why: It was 97 degrees. The long cool spring was over. And so was the quiet fire season. The Corn Creek Fire was putting a big column of smoke over Escalante.http://picasaweb.google.com/aorlemann/BarkerReservoirUT

Hi, My name is Chelsey, I like your pics of Barker Reservoir. You don't know me, but I was wondering if you enjoyed the campsite or if you could tell me more about it, because we are looking to go down there for a family reunion next year. The main question I have is, are there flushing toilets? Were the roads bad getting there as well? Thankyou so much and have a great day.
This is a very beautiful area and I think the campsites are nice. The toilets are pit toilets. The road has a gravel surface and it is steep and narrow in spots. It is a pretty good road, though, as forest roads go.
