Best RV Parks & Resorts near Dinosaur National Monument

406 Reviews

Several RV parks surround Dinosaur National Monument with varying amenities and accessibility. Outlaw Trail RV Park in Jensen, Utah provides full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections on gravel sites approximately 6 minutes from the Quarry Visitor Center. Fossil Valley RV Park in Vernal offers year-round availability with 50-amp service, showers, and sanitary dump facilities. Red Fleet State Park Campground features RV sites with hookups but arranges them in parking-lot style with limited separation between units. Green River Campground within Dinosaur National Monument accommodates RVs but lacks hookups. "This campground is just a big gravel lot with hook ups spaced throughout. It is very close to Dinosaur National Monument Quarry Wall which is why we chose it."

Many RV parks in the region require advance planning during peak seasons from April through October. Vernal RV Resort provides 57 sites with full hookups including both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service for larger motorhomes. Most parks maintain pet-friendly policies with leash requirements. Cell service varies across the area, though some locations like Fossil Valley RV Park offer WiFi access for guests. A camper noted that Pine Forest RV Park permits alcohol while some other facilities prohibit it. Roads around Dinosaur National Monument can involve elevation changes and winding routes, particularly when accessing the more remote sections of the park. Winter travelers should check seasonal closures, as several campgrounds including Green River operate only from April to October.

    Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA

    Well taken care of-- New look

    Vernal Dinosoar Koa seems like it has a TON of spots crammed into a small are but all of them have green grass, picnic tables, and grills. Some sites have covered awnings some have large shade trees. What I liked about this campground were all the activity options they gave you, unlike some other KOA's I've stayed at. There was a small but functional K-9 park, a kids park, a swimming pool, a jump pad, and they had bike/3 wheeler rentals, and a mini golf coarse. They had a covered patio off of the pool building with picnic tables for use and just on the other side of the jump pad and kids playground they had a HUGE grassy field that you could go throw frisbees on or even fly a kite. They had spots for small RV, Very Large RVs, One special site that came with cable tv, and numerous cabins for rent. If your looking for something just off of the town in Vernal, So you can visit all the great dinosaur attractions, this would be the place. They did have a small store with firewood, some sundries, and tourist gifts. They also have 2 dump stations for $10 a use out front.

    Pine Forest RV Park

    Great Campground to Explore the Area

    We called the park and asked if we could arrive around 2:00 PM as check in is 4:00 PM? There was no problem coming in early. Check in was quick and we proceeded to premium site 57, which was a back-in with FHUs that were smartly placed in the middle of the gravel pad. We paid extra for a premium site because they are supposed to have more yard space with private fire pits. The rig to our utilities side was very close and while our area out the door side was large, there was a formal path leading to the open pasture(watch out for cow and dog poop). The pasture area has formal trails that lead through the national forest to the Firefighters Memorial one direction and a Flaming Gorge overlook the other direction. Sites 18-21 actually had the biggest yard area and were the best sites in our opinion. Water pressure was good, no OTA channels so we put out our satellite with no issues, above average WiFi and 3 bars on Verizon. Our site was level but 56 next to us had to use levelers on their utilities side to level. One of the camp hosts was temporarily in 56, and he could not have been nicer offering assistance and tips on the area. They had 2 washers and dryers and cost$2.50 to wash and$1.75 to dry. There was lots to do and see in the area. Red Canyon Visitors Center along with the Red Canyon view trail and Sheep Creek Geological Loop are must sees. After you finish the geological loop, you’re close to Manila, UT and they have the Flaming Gorge Market and Mercantile, which is also a True Value hardware with fishing and souvenir items. Their market area has a good variety of items to include condiments, charcoal briquettes, bread/buns, hotdogs, lunch meat and salad etc. at decent prices. We bought a small mayonnaise and vinegar in Dutch John that cost$9 so like other reviews said, best to bring these type of items with you. Pine Forest management was laid back compared to other private CGs we have stayed. We enjoyed our week stay and would definitely come back.

    Cedar Springs Campground

    Beautiful in May, But Meager Services

    We are traveling in Scoop our 26' travel trailer. We like rustic campgrounds, but expect to get the services as listed on campground websites. Cedar Springs in a National Forest Campground run by a third party concessionaire. The website said the campground was open and offered vault toilets, water spigots and a dump station. We were going to need a dump station visit so chose this campground over many of the others available in the area. Cedar Spring also has good reviews online.

    Upon arrival the campground was about half full, but no water was on yet, the dump station was closed, the camp host had set up, but was not present and the vault toilet cleaning logs said baths had not been cleaned for 6 days. We stayed even though the rate for basically no services was $23. We had stayed the previous night at a forest service campground in the Black Hills that had cleaned baths and spigots that worked for only $10. This campground needs to offer a lesser cost for off-season level of services.

    Gripping over, site C offered a beautiful view of the reservoir from the picnic table. Most sites are best for smaller rigs, tent trailers and tents. There were only 4-5 sites that would accommodate our 26' trailer. Because the campground is on the side of a hill, sites are pretty unlevel, but we were able to adapt. Cell signal was good here and we were able to pick up 10 TV stations with our antenna. If you have a dog, watch for burrs, there are some nasty ones.

    Rangely Camper Park

    Rangely, Co Camper Park

    This city operated RV/ Camping Park in Rangely, Colorado is an excellent city managed spot to spend the night or several days. The park offers electric sites for $20.00 a night or $10.00 a night for no electricity. Water spigots are located all around the park and there is a dump station on site. Numerous giant Cottonwood trees provide a lot of shade for the park. Located just outside of Rangely, everything you need is just minutes away.

    City Parks and Rec staff frequent the property and are friendly and willing to help anyone in need.

    There is restroom facilities and showers on site.

    Dinosaur National Monument is only 30 minutes away and east of town is Kenney Reservoir is just minutes east of town and offers fishing, swimming and boating.

    Make sure to visit the “Tower” on the west side of town. It is a converted, 3 story, water tank that is now a recording/ sound studio.
    The acoustics of the tower is definitely something you should experience!

    We stayed here four nights with our 32 foot fifth wheel and there is several spots to fit that and our truck. Lots of space for tent camping on grass.

    Highly recommend Rangely Camp Park!

    Deer Run Campground

    Beautiful and quite

    The cost is $25 a night but $12.50 with a senior parks pass. ATT Has 3 bars and LTE coverage The campground is very clean, there are very well maintained restrooms with flush toilets and showers free to register guests and $4 fee for others, the roads and sites were all paved with picnic tables and fire pits, there is potable water available throughout but no electric, water or septic hookups in the campground. Potable water and a dump station are located just down the road, for a fee of $6 you can dump and refill your tank. This campground is very close to the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. A hydro electric dam is located about one mile away with a great visitor center. There is fishing in the Reservoir, and great fly fishing on the Green river on the downstream side of the dam with great access. A boat launch is available on the downstream side of the dam for those hearty souls who wish to float the Green river and fish. There is a Marina located just a short way from the campground with a boat launch, a fuel dock, restaurant and small store with very friendly staff. There are several different boats available to rent, which we took advantage of and spent the day enjoying the fantastic views of Flaming Gorge from the water. We spent three days here and enjoyed it greatly, a great place to stop and recharge.
