      Grizzly Ridge Yurt

      A toasty warm end of summer night at Grizzly Ridge Yurt, Ashley National Forest.

      We backpacked into Grizzly Ridge Yurt for a one night stay late this last summer. What a fun and beautiful place to stay. The Yurt is situated in a clearing at about 9000 feet. It's surrounded by pine and aspen trees, and at night from the front porch you can see the lights of Vernal in the distance. There is a fire ring located just below the yurt, with plenty of fire wood provided. The yurt is well stocked with two double bunk beds, a propane cooking stove, plenty of pots and pans, and a wood burning stove which kept us TOASTY WARM all night! Remember your own bedding, plenty of water, and lighting (no electricity or water at the yurt). We thoroughly enjoyed reading stories from the guest book.

      Colton Guard Station

      A weekend snowshoe into Colton Gaurd Station, Ashley National Forest, UT.

      Last spring we snowshoed into the Colton Guard Station. What a fun experience! It's about a five mile snowshoe from Highway 40. There is a gate in the winter preventing you from going any further than the parking lot on Forest Road 020. There is a cabin and bunkhouse on the complex, both with wood burning stoves (wood provided). The cabin has a set of twin bunk beds, and a futon that folds out. The bunk house has several twin beds with mattresses. There is an old outhouse that you can use in the winter (no running water to the guard station that time of year). We had so much fun playing games by the warmth of the wood burning stove and sledding down the surrounding hills. Our four legged friend enjoyed being able to accompany us on our adventure. Remember to bring your own bedding and water.

      Moon Lake Campground

      Beautiful Lake, Clean/Modern Campground

      Moon Lake Campground is a clean and modern campground on the shores of a beautiful high mountain lake. The spots can be a little close together, but they are well developed. The bathrooms are modern for a national forest campground with running water, electricity, flushing toilets and ventilation fans. The camp host did an excellent job of daily cleaning and stocking of the campground. Just feet outside the campground is a private resort with rustic cabins and a lodge. The lodge store provides basic necessities in the event you forgot something, as well as an ice cream bar with sundaes and soda on tap. The lodge provides rentals of kayaks and small fishing boats. It even has a taco truck out front. All around, our family ranks Moon Lake near the top of our favorite camping spots.

      Steinaker State Park Campground

      Always Busy

      This is a great lil campground although I feel like they tried to cram alot of campsites right on top of each other. All sites have picnic tables and firepits with a grill. Its kinda a dry vegetation in the park mostly sage brush and junipers, Some bigger shadier trees towards the lake but you better book those way in advance cause they fill up fast. They have small sites, tent sites, many large pull through sites, and even one small cabin. I did notice 3 bathroom facilities in spread throughout the park though and water spigots throughout. They have recently built a nature trail that runs from the side of the lake around to the front of it so thats a nice lil jont. They do also offer one group site that has a pavilion. This campground is not for anyone that doesnt like to be seen cause most likely you'll have a neighbor right next to you, above you, or below you.

      Grizzly Ridge Yurt

      Fun Times

      Accessible by hiking, skiing, and ATVs. This yurt has 2 full sized bunk beds, no bedding. Has a fireplace, propane cook stove, pots, pans, and even a telescope located under one of the beds. There is a fun guest book you can read through and write you own adventures in. Large deck with a firepit located just below it with firewood provided. Outhouse situated on the hill behind the yurt. Yurt is approximately 4 miles from paved road.

      Nine Mile Canyon Ranch

      Rustic and scenic

      This is a nice campground to stay in if you want to explore the canyons.  The location is perfect for day trips into the canyons to search for petroglyphs and historic cabins.  The scenery is amazing.  The campsite had a real nice covered picnic table and a fire pit. There were no hookups but they say they have potable water you can use.  They also have firewood you can purchase but we brought our own.  We did not use the showers but they do have them available.  The bathrooms have flush toilets and running water and were very clean.  There are historic cabins you can rent or you can camp in your tent or RV.  We were there in April and it wasn't too busy so it was pretty quiet.  I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the area.

      Nine Mile Canyon Ranch

      A Little bit of everything

      The 9 mile Canyon Ranch has a little bit of everything. RV spots, tent camping, cabins. There are clean bathrooms and showers for $3. You can hammock in some spots. Best to call in ahead so they get you a best part with some of the trees.

      Beautiful area. No service but there is Wi-Fi at the house. The lady there was SUPER nice and answered all my questions and was very willing to help and make sure I had a good stay.

      I slept in my Bronco but my spot had a campfire and picnic table. Enjoyed my stay.

    What to do

    Horseback riding excursions: At Moon Lake Campground, visitors can arrange guided horseback rides to explore the surrounding terrain. "We hired horses to explore the area, highly recommended. It's close to lots of other state and national lands too, so it'd make a good base camp," shares reviewer Amber A.

    Kayaking and paddleboarding: The waters at Fred Hayes State Park at Starvation provide excellent flatwater recreation opportunities. A camper at Beach Campground noted, "They have floating docks you can swim out to and boat, paddle board, and kayak access."

    Fishing for diverse species: The lakes near Altamont offer productive fishing opportunities. At Moon Lake, "We love to fish and cook them over the fire at night. We use the jakes fishing hooks. The silver and gold ones worked the best," reports Holly S., highlighting the practical fishing experience available.

    Geocaching adventures: The area supports various geocaching opportunities for treasure hunters of all ages. "There is also a geocache hidden by the fish cleaning station, if you ask the rangers they can give you the coordinates," explains Cortney M. from Steinaker State Park Campground.

    What campers like

    Clean, modern facilities: Steinaker State Park Campground receives consistent praise for its upkeep. "The showers and bathrooms were spotless, and the dumpsters were very convenient," notes Kelda C., who stayed at one of the full-hookup sites.

    Ice cream and amenities: Many campers appreciate the small comforts available at lodge stores. Holly S. mentions that at Moon Lake, "They upgraded their shop and added a little ice cream bar. The new staff is very friendly."

    Spacious sites: At Mountain View Campground, campers enjoy room to spread out. "The spaces are large, level, and easy to get into. I think they all have electricity and water. They are paved, as are the roadways," according to Melody M.

    Cell service availability: Unlike many remote camping areas, some sites maintain good connectivity. A Strawberry Hideout reviewer mentioned, "Has service! We had full bars throughout the campsite. We were even able to watch the Rookie in our tent before bed!"

    What you should know

    Wind conditions: Several camping areas experience significant wind. At Strawberry Hideout, Anna F. warns, "The wind will take your tent if you're not careful! The wind gusts would be so powerful at times it would almost carry our tent away from us."

    Varying shade availability: Tree cover differs significantly between campgrounds. Shad G. from Moon Lake Campground notes, "Camp sites near the lake don't have as many trees and campsites further from the lake but there is some shade still."

    Insects and wildlife: Prepare for local insect populations. "The bugs were pretty bad. Gnats that would bite and leave some pretty big welts. Bring plenty of bug spray," advises Shad G. about Moon Lake Campground.

    Pet restrictions: Dog policies vary by location. A Beach Campground reviewer cautions, "The dog policy is not obvious on the website or stated in my reservation confirmation. If you don't ride a jet ski in your wrap-around mirrored glasses you might not fit in here."

    Tips for camping with families

    Bike-friendly options: Indian Bay Campground offers good terrain for children's activities. "This is a lovely campsite for families with trailers. There are grass patches and you can see the reservoir right from your camper!" notes Laynie R.

    Playground access: Some resorts include play equipment. A visitor to Promised Land Resort shares, "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."

    Swimming areas: Several locations feature designated swimming zones. "This is a great place for a campsite... Really nice paths to get you to the beach and the boat ramp," explains Brad B. about Indian Bay Campground.

    Close proximity to stores: For forgotten essentials, know where supplies are available. "Gas station is just 5 min down the road! Nice little gas station that's prepared to help you with almost all your needs, including flushable toilets!" reports Anna F. from Strawberry Hideout.

    Tips from RVers

    Site length accommodations: Promised Land Resort offers good options for larger rigs. "This was a great campground. Several miles off main highway nestled in high cliffs... Campground was well maintained," states Curtis H., highlighting the accessibility despite the secluded location.

    Back-in site advantages: At Mountain View Campground, Robert H. advises, "Pull through and back in sites available. The back in sites are right on the edge of the hill that leads down to the water."

    Access road considerations: Some locations have unpaved access. Akasha L. notes about Promised Land Resort, "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."

    Hookup details: When booking, verify what utilities are available. Shad G. explains Mountain View Campground offers "water hookups and access to 20/30/50 electricity. No sewer available in the site, but they do have a dump station."
