Top 10+ Campgrounds near Altamont, UT

Good place to jump off the road for a night if you have higher clearance, 4 x 4 if you want to go in other places, and are looking for some seclusion. Pack it in and pack it out there are no services here. Verizon is good.

We found this place by chance a couple summers ago when all the campgrounds were packed this one was vacant and absolutely breathtaking. Now we are back again and couldn't be more excited. This dispersed campground is one to check out. It has very secluded spots tucked in the trees. You don't hear the highway traffic even at closer spots to the road. There are endless options for sites. In the summer they do drive cattle through this spot so be mindful that you may hear horses, riders, dogs, and mooing. Also it's fair to note they don't clean up after themselves. It is still worth it.

I do want to note that if you have a low clearance vehicle you must go SLOOOWWW. The road is pretty washed out and has plenty of rocks that will take your oil pan as a souvenir. If you have flipped the axel on your rig I'm sure it would be no problem bringing it down this road and you'd have space to flip around if needed. Tent camping offers more options in this location as there is plenty of grassy spots to put up your tents for a nice rest. Please keep this spot as wild as it is while I write this. Pack it in and pack it OUT. This spot is wild and deserves to stay that way.

This place was very nice. Awesome spot to stop and launch off on adventures into Dinosaurs national monument. Would stay here again when I come to visit. Staff was very nice and accommodating and very quiet at night. And if you have an RV all the sites are full hookups.

We really like this site though it's been a couple of years since we've been there. Very friendly and helpful staff. They'll tell you some of the coolest place to see some graneries hidden up in the rocks built by the indigenous people.

Very clean restrooms and showers. You could, at the time, enjoy a meal with the owners.

A perfect gateway to vist Nine Mile Canyon. We spent countless hours hiking around this area, seeing as many petroglyphs and pictographs as we could.

Very clean and quiet. Curious and kind staff. I called in the afternoon and they good me a spot for me to camp in my prius. Thank you and I'd camp here again.

Arrived on a Friday afternoon and snagged a spot with a great view but no shade, which was fine with me. The site was nice and flat with a fire circle. The road in was a bit rough because Google maps send me the back way and not on 150. I could see neighbors but not hear them. Minus one star for the tough access after rain and for the reservoir being dry on the end of this particular spot.

The campground was quiet and clean and host was fantastic! We stayed at campsite C19 and it was perfect with some shade for our tent which was great. Steps away from the reservoir which provided glorious sunrises! Bathrooms were close and clean, running water and flush. We opted to have dinner at the marina cafe and it was convenient and delicious with a great staff! The entrance to the reservoir from our site was a bit murky but if you have a watercraft of sorts then it’s smooth sailing, convenient and water was clear.

The road to get here can be interesting if you’ve never been. I wasn’t expecting a dirt road right next to the river. You don’t need any special vehicle though and as soon as you get to the resort, it is GORGEOUS. They have a couple playgrounds (one is better than the other) and lots of open grass area. The swimming pond was a great place for my kids to play. I randomly tried this resort and it will definitely be one I go to again.

We enjoyed this little RV park. It was quiet and well maintained and just off the main road making it easy to walk about parts of town. Vernal is a nice town with several interesting drives and sites nearby. This RV park is a good launching pad for day trips!

This was a great place for us to put a group together.  The sites could accommodate trailers over 40ft with ease.  We had easy access to some of the OHV trails in the area but had to drive to some of the main ones back near Vernal.  The clubhouse was nice and clean, and the sites were great.  We had one of the premium sites that was right along the river, and it was a gorgeous view.  The sites were deep and wide and we had no problem backing into the site.  It fit our trailer, truck, and SxS vehicles.  There isn't much shade at all since the RV resort is new and still growing trees.

The biggest complaint that I had about the sites was the taste of the water.  We had to buy bottled water because we couldn't stand the taste of the tap water even though it went through a filter.

We loved everything about this place.  The sites are in great condition and very clean.  The flush toilets were a plus.  It is a little bit of a jaunt to get to the lake, but it is worth going to for fishing, kayaking, paddleboards, or swimming.  There are several ATV/OHV trails in the area.  The camp hosts said that we could have our SxS in the campground as long as it was street legal, and they didn't charge me an extra vehicle fee.  The two things that made this review 4 stars is the dirt road is a washboard mess.  Basically, had to roll in 4-wheel drive in the lowest gear or I would have been shaken off the side.  The second were all the cows that are allowed to graze through the campground.

Ok, why would anyone pay $175-$285 a night to stay in old smelly FS bunkhouses that likely have a long history of housing mice, rats and racoons! The areas by the old cabins are not large enough to park many vehicles. Any camper with their own travel trailer or RV is going to camp anywhere on Ashley NF, including by a lake for free or a lot less. Likely why no one was staying there on the Utah pioneer day week. Not even close to a lake, just stuck in a dense shaded tree patch... No views even.

Sites 1-14 are best for RVs trailers, sites 15-20 are small for tenters. Three big group areas in the middle. Vault toilets, tables and fire rings but no water or trash

Great boondocking spots if you’re willing to get off the beaten path and get a little dirt.
