Antelope roam freely through this large developed campground on the western shore of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Lucerne Campground spreads across 140 sites in multiple loops, accommodating both RV campers seeking hookups and tent campers looking for grassy spots. The US Forest Service maintains flush toilets and showers throughout the facility, with campers consistently noting the cleanliness of restrooms and grounds.

Electric and water hookups are available at premium sites for $31 per night, while standard sites run $22. Many sites offer direct lake access for swimming and fishing, with crystal-clear water drawing visitors to the shoreline. [Sara](https://thedyrt.com/camping/utah/lucerne-campground/reviews/82945) notes that "antelope wander around the park all day and the water is crystal clear." The campground operates on both reservation and first-come, first-serve systems, giving flexibility for last-minute arrivals.

Wildlife viewing extends beyond antelope to include deer, rabbits, and ground squirrels that have adapted to the campground environment. Staff maintain active presence throughout the facility, keeping sites and common areas well-maintained.

This campground is 20 dollars a night, which is a bit more than some of the nearby campgrounds. Very nice hosts and some grassy spots for tents. The views of flaming gorge are great.

Nice, open campground with great views 

We came late in the year, however one section was still open. There was plenty of spots to choose from. The site had rabbits, deer and antelope roaming around. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. No soap dispensers but there was a hand air dryer. 

Great bathrooms and wildlife

Great campsite next to the lake. The staff was great and super helpful. Antelope and ground squirrels have made this place home. 

Beautiful

This campground has large RV spots and there are 140 of them. Antelope wander around the park all day and the water is crystal clear. We didn’t have a reservation and they have many first come first serve sites- we even got one with an amazing lake view. This is one of those places I will never forget because it’s so pretty. Also, the bathrooms (flush toilets only) are super clean. Sites have electricity and water is available.

What a beautiful place

Alright

Largest developed CG on westside of flaming gorge.  Several loops for TTs/TVs and tent campers. Electric hookups sites also.  Water, trash, restrooms, showers.  Lots of staff maintenance activity around.  Not my style of camping but families will like it and RVs that need electric will like it.  $31 electric sites, $22 no electric sites.  Water, trash restrooms, showers.  

Large developed CG

Our reservation got changed at the last minute from Buckboard WY to Lucerne and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff was super accommodating and friendly, and our campsite was absolutely gorgeous and one of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Definitely recommend.
