Top 10+ Campgrounds near Ashley National Forest

Large sandy lot. Easy to get to on paved road. Enough room for several vehicles. No amenities at all. No trees. No fire pits. Just a better than Walmart place to sleep for a night or two. Verizon is about 3 bars. Quiet and not too far from town with all the big box stores.

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 area is stunning! The campground really seems suited to RVs and we had a tent. It has weird double sites that share a shelter and campfire area with other campers. When we stayed there, the host gave our sweet epic view (long-reserved) spot away to some RV people and stuck us in a crappy middle spot.

I think it’s probably just better to stay right down the road on the shore of the Flaming Gorge, the terrain is super navigable and there’s dispersed camping and a bathroom. The swimming was great! There was a wild lightning storm when we stayed there so the shelter was actually nice to have.

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 are into some truck issues when passing through and had to find a place to stay for a few days. This worked out great. We had a 24 ft camper and trailer with two side by sides. We had plenty of room for both. Lots of places to choose from. All open and easy to turn around campers. Road was in good shape. No issues with a Tahoe pulling camper. The views were great but it was windy. We could ride the ATVs from campsite and had hundreds of miles of trails to choose from. Saw wild horses.

We were looking for a spot with our camper and drove back this road but did not see many places to pull off and camp that was already established. There were many side roads probably used for ATVs that may have provided more opportunities but we did not want to risk getting back there with no where to turn around. There was absolutely no one there. Views were nice though. We ended up caping in another area.

Nice National Forest campground with paved interior roads and sites. Most sites have privacy. We never use the facilities. We drove in from Green River on I-80 taking 530 to Manila, then 44 to 191 north to Cedar Springs Campground. 6100’ in elevation. 44 has very very long pulls and is very windy but we were not concerned about our 70’ length. We did not encounter any unpaved roads on our route. Nor was the part of 191 we traveled unpaved. We stayed here for three nights having met my brother and wife, renting a pontoon boat for one day on the lake and enjoyed the views. Site 12 lists a 35’ maximum length and it took us two tries to get in while gathering a crowd. But we fit with a few feet to spare parking our tow vehicle down by the camp host. This might have been one of three sites that we would have fit. Some sites have a view of the lake. It is a short drive to the marina and a few more miles to Dutch John the closest store. Bring all your food because you definitely pay for the cost of delivery to the Dutch John convenience store. Don’t miss Red Canyon Overlook (40.8939814, -109.5641603) and check out the campgrounds nearby for other stays.

Forest service (dirt) road leading to Lost Dog day use area in Flaming Gorge. There are places along the road to pull off and boondock, with great sunrise and sunset views and occasional glimpses of the gorge. looks like it might be dicey after heavy rain

It's fairly quiet except when trucks are driving by which can be often at times. it's nice and open but when the wind shifted i got a smell from the refinery that was unpleasent. i don't believe i would stay here again unless i needed to. good for a short stop if needed. plenty of room.

It's just a little area to pull out directly behind an oil processing facility

Why is this even on this app?!

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.

fantastic campground in utah, the campsites are all in great condition. the road is showing some wear once you get off the highway but it's not bad. 

winds set in and you get to enjoy the sound of the trees.

We have stayed at many campsites here and love them all! We love the views, the campsites, and how peaceful it is.

Great views from the top, but we chose a more sheltered site due to the strong chilly wind. Beautiful sunset and sunrise. There were many good sites along the road in as well. Road could be done in a minivan when dry, but might get tricky when wet.
