4F-05: Campground Host - Adelaide Campground

The Adelaide Campground is located approximately 5 miles southeast of the rural town of Kanosh, Utah. The campground is accessible by a well maintained gravel road, Forest Road 106, that parallels Corn Creek. Adelaide is adjacent to Corn Creek at an elevation of 5600 feet. The campground is well shaded with mature box elder, cottonwood, and ponderosa pine trees. Deer, elk, and turkeys are often seen at the campground, and the site is popular with ATV enthusiasts, hunters, fishermen, and families looking for a quiet spot to camp.

It is a small campground with 9 individual sites and 1 group unit. There is a CCC era amphitheater and pavilion as well that gets used for weddings and small group events. All sites are accessible by gravel roads and pull ins. All of the sites are reservable through recreation.gov. Visitor use is moderate to high from Memorial Day through Labor Day especially on weekends. Many times groups rent the entire campground for family gatherings. Locals from Kanosh frequent the campground for day use activities such as picnicking or fishing. There are water spigots throughout the campground, and a flush toliet is on site. No electricity or sewer hook-ups are available.

Volunteers would be responsible to ensure camp fees are paid and that the rules governing the use of the site are followed. Additionally, volunteers would be expected to keep the bathrooms stocked with supplies and cleaned up in-between deep cleaning visits from the District recreation staff. Contacts with the public to highlight recreation opportunities in the area would also be expected of the hosts. A nominal reimbursement for daily subsistence may be provided.

Camp Hosts have the option to bring in their own trailer/RV or tent for accommodations and will occupy one of the single sites. The closest dump sites for RVs are located in Fillmore 15 miles north on I-15.

A friendly couple who are outgoing, enjoy the outdoors, and interact well with the public is desired. Ensuring the visitors to the campground have an enjoyable visit while being respectful of the facility and their neighbors is the goal.
