Lodgepole At Flaming Gorge — Ashley National Forest

From Vernal, Utah, head north on Highway 191 toward Flaming Gorge Recreation Area. Lodgepole Campground is located along Highway 191 just outside the Flaming Gorge Recreation Area. The campground will be visible from the highway. Watch for campground signage as you approach. The location alongside the highway makes it easily accessible, though this proximity does mean you might experience some road noise during your stay.

Lodgepole Campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets and dumpsters for waste disposal. The campground has 35 total sites, with 22 being reservable. While there is an RV dump station available, note that there is no water available within the campground or at the dump station. A camp host is onsite to assist visitors, and the campground is professionally managed by a contractor. The nightly fee is $23, with a discounted rate of $11.50 for seniors with appropriate passes.

There are no swimming pools at Lodgepole Campground itself. The campground offers a more rustic experience with basic amenities rather than resort-style facilities like pools. For swimming opportunities, visitors typically take advantage of the natural waters of Flaming Gorge Reservoir, which is located nearby. The reservoir provides excellent opportunities for swimming, boating, and other water activities during warmer months. Contact the Ashley National Forest office for current water conditions and recommended swimming areas.
