Flower power is all the rage, and this charming spot is sure to feed your imagination. Dreamy poppies surround Box Elder Campground in Utah, and you can rent a site there for all of the whimsical vibes. If you've been looking for a summertime adventure that also offers fantastic photo ops, this destination is for you.

This remarkable place is like a Wizard Of Oz adventure, and you can book a site right now.

Box Elder Campground is located near Mantua, Utah. Through late June, fields of bright red poppies bloom in a dreamy stretch.

The sites start at $22 a night and can accommodate up to eight people in the single sections.

A lovely creek runs through the area as well, so you can explore the woods and water before wandering through the flower-filled grass.

There are toilets, drinking water, and firewood available, which you can purchase and use while visiting.

The poppy patch is a popular destination, and the story of how they got there is widely speculated. Trails run through them so you can explore without trampling over the blooms.

Throughout June, they fully open up, creating a dreamy seascape of color that is one of the most stunning natural occurrences in the state.

To reach the campsite, you can take Highway 89-91 to Mantua, which is around 4.5 miles away from Brigham City to the east.

You can also find group sites, and everything is first come first serve.

A three-day pass for the area costs $6 and can be used in any areas within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

Nearby you can also find the Mantua Reservoir, which has a beach for swimming.
