Jug Hollow Road - Dispersed Camp

We ended up staying a couple of nights while some big winds passed north of us. Lots of sites back in here with plenty of room to spread out. I imagine it gets quite busy during the warmer months but we were quite alone in March. Our dog had plenty of area to run and explore. No facilities so pack in-pack out.

The entire area is dispersed camping with spots on hills overlooking the lake or down shoreside. The entire area is accessible for camping. I didn't see any spots that didn't look lake accessible. It is an open range location, so expect to wake up to cattle in the area or passing through your site if you're down by the water. We spent 3 days here it was so great. The max time you can camp is 16 days, but I don't think that's inforced as some of the campers looked like they had been there for over a month. All and all, it's pretty great. Expect to hear generators and power sports equipment, nothing too crazy though. The bugs weren't too bad either. The little island in the middle has an eagles nest and some antelope on it, so you can get some wildlife views as well.

We spent this past Friday night at this dispersed campground. While the grounds are beautiful, it was extremely noisy with Harding going on all night by the Lakeshore. It was extremely noisy with all of the power equipment on and near the lake, including ATVs, generators, speed boats. If you were looking for peace and quiet, I would move away from the Lakeshore and Camp on the road going out. The road going out is quite rough and has about mile and a half of pretty bad washboard and is sandy in some spots as well

Upon initial set up we were thrilled. Great cell service, views, and can’t beat a fire and smores on the beach.

A couple of downsides. Lots of expansive soil. Impassable when wet. Our 2 wheel drive van got stuck in muck. Jeep pulled it out luckily. Open range means lots of cow pies. And remote camping without enforced WAG laws ( “waste alleviation and gelling,”) you will find human “pies” as well. Mix in dogs running around in rain….

This is an awesome spot, came in the Saturday before Labor Day so it was pretty busy but I still found a nice spot right on the water. The road coming in has lots of cows and deer so be careful! Take 319 to get to this area, not 341, it’s now fenced off

There was not another single soul at this campsite while I was here. At the end of a peninsula into the flaming gorge reservoir, this spot is simply stunning. Huge spots and great views. Came in October and the temperature was much warmer than anticipated. Highly recommend.

This campground sits right on the shore of Lake Flaming Gorge. The access road is dirt, with ruts and rocks. Tricky when wet. Scout before deciding to go down it. Camp ground has great cell coverage and stone fire rings but nothing else. Not much shade since, there are no trees. Sadly, bushes and thickets have been used as toilets and are downright gross! Wind off the lake can be furious. Try to find a spot further in, especially if you are tent camping. Generators tear through the silence of the night. Bring ear plugs! Hiking is great right out of the campground. Not sure if I’d come back. Although views and sun set are spectacular, everything else looks is not.
