Top 10+ Dog-Friendly Campgrounds near Ashley National Forest

Windy Park, like a lot of camp areas in Ashley National Forest is free, dispersed camping. The only rule is that you have to camp within 150 feet of a developed road. There is a 16 day camp limit for leaving your camper in the same camp spot like most of the locals from Vernal do (leave it on the mountain, and come up on the weekends, or for the hunt, etc.). There are many ATV roads, and hiking trails in the area. It's a quick drive to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Enjoy the aspen and pine groves located throughout Ashley National Forest. Weather can be unpredictable in the Uintahs, so prepare for anything! We've had hail and snow in July!

I followed the other reviewers advice and went with #838. There are tons of dispersed camping options in Ashley National Forest. I stayed at this site on a Monday and I was the only one there.

Minutes away from lots of activities. This campground is secluded in Ashley National Forest with tons to do. From hiking to fishing to playing in the Gorge you’ll enjoy this location day and night. The night sky was amazing for meteor showers.

A beautiful little campground with many of the sites on the river bank. Fishing is near by, your surrounded on all sides by the beautiful Ashley National Forest. Far away from the main roads and the bulk of campers. This little campground is a great place to snuggle up close with your loved ones.

This was the first time we got a yurt and it set an awesome atmosphere. Drive up to the site and then XC ski/snowshoe around beautiful Ashley National Forest. Make sure to bring everything you need (bedding, lights, water, etc.), though some cookware is provided. There’s a vault toilet, an awesome gas stove for easy cooking, and wood stove for cozy heat. Really can’t wait to go back. No grizzlies---both a good and disappointing thing :)

Everything you need for a good overnight stay, or launching pad is here. They have full hookups, partial hookups, awesome tent sites, cabins and a sizable area for full timers. There’s a pool, dog park, washers and dryers and a playground.

The staff is VERY nice and accommodating.

Not much of a destination but a great spot to stop for the night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There’s a large dog park and several other amenities such as a jumping pillow and pool. The view in front of the campground is and oil storage facility but the view to the back is beautiful.

We just needed a quick place to crash on the way from Denver to Jackson Hole Wy area.  We didn't want to make the full drive at once since we needed to set up a campsite when we got there, so we stopped here.

It had snowed the night before and it was cold.  However, the fences protect the campsites for the tent campers, so we didn't feel the wind at all.  We were so well protected.  We were even able to pull our car in front of the site, and this blocked our site from view of others.  

The facilities were nice:  bathrooms were spotless and there were laundry facilities and many other things.  

There was even a cute dog park that we could exercise our husky in. He was happy :).  Plus, the fencing around the campsite allowed us to set up a nice dog run for him.

The people were very nice when checking in, and it was very organized.  

We would stay there again!

Red Fleet is a very accessible campground. There are several large RV spots with full hookups (30amp, one handicapped spot with 50amp) in addition to tent camping. Boat ramp down to reservoir. Sandy beach and hiking trails. Large parking lot for cars/boats. Dumpster, bathrooms, water hookups, and very fast WiFi (available for $3/day). $25/night for hookup spots, $15/night for regular spot. Pets allowed but must be on leash.

This area is beautiful, not super close to water though. We bring our dogs everywhere and hope for shade and/or water. This place at least has good shade and nice open fields for dog play and yard games. It was about 20ish mins drive to flaming gorge area for a beach day!

We spent one night at Antelope Flats and it was not good. The wind gusted at around 50 miles an hour for about three hours, making it impossible to stay outside. If your tent was not staked down well, it would have blown away (which we witnessed). Thankfully, the wind subsided for us to be able to sleep. The whole campground is also full of fox tails and stickers so if you are camping with dogs I would definitely stay away from this site unless you want to constantly be pulling them out of your dog. Also, at the time of our arrival they did not have any water available and the flush toilets were not working. They did issue a 50% refund for the water not working, so that was very nice. Overall, I would not stay there again.

This area is very open with patches of quakes you can park in or near for some seclusion. The Range Study has one bathroom facility right at the entrance. There are a ATV trails running everywhere in this area. This place tends to be really busy as it can accommodate large groups. That's why it received only 3 stars this time, there was just far to much ATV traffic for my liking. There isn't many places to hike around here. My dog and I were able to get out a lil bit but we had to keep avoiding the ATV's. There is all kinds of wildlife in this area including deer, chip munks, squirrels, elk, and occasionally a bear. So be sure to keep trash and all food inside or bear proof. Good area to let dogs and kids run. And if your like me, this is a great place to pick dandelions for dandelion Jelly!

If you are in an RV with a boat and enjoy blacktop camping, this is the place to be. Close to the boat ramp, easy access. When we are with my elderly family who need to be stable we stay here. If we are just us and the kids and dogs we go stay at Dutch John.

Huge open spaces, more like a dirt parking lot. The staff was friendly, but for the price I paid, I expected a little more.  lots of car alarms going off, lots of dogs barking, but it’s been nice to have a little greenery or some trees. 

We stayed here suring the annual paddlefest 2019. They had a waterslide down the boat ramp and water trampoline that arent normally there. This year they have added a hammock rack to the campground that holds 9 hammocks. Theyve also added an on site kayak/ paddle board rentals. Dogs are allowed on leash. They do,have running water spigots and bathrooms on site

This is a great little campsite to enjoy after exploring the dinosaur quarry. Dogs are allowed on leashes. There is a creek that runs next to the camp site and easy hiking trails all around it. At night it is so dark you can see every star in the sky. The deer and sheep are very active at night which is very fun.

This site is reservation only for a single group site. The narrow two track gravel road into the cove was longer and narrower than expected but seems large TTs make it fine, just make sure there is no opposing members coming in against the traffic. Vault toilet, beach, drinking water, trash dumpster. Lots of room for multiple later TYs and RVs. Not sure on cell signal as loose growling dogs sent me packing..haha.

We spent a glorious 2 nights at one of the Western-most camping spots right with a private path to the river & a nice little swimming hole area. Our dog was in heaven! We enjoyed time on the beach and at the site. Be aware there are lots of ants around in the summer though! GREAT hikes from nearby trails. Don't miss the museum either!

Upon initial set up we were thrilled. Great cell service, views, and can’t beat a fire and smores on the beach.

A couple of downsides. Lots of expansive soil. Impassable when wet. Our 2 wheel drive van got stuck in muck. Jeep pulled it out luckily. Open range means lots of cow pies. And remote camping without enforced WAG laws ( “waste alleviation and gelling,”) you will find human “pies” as well. Mix in dogs running around in rain….

Nice grassy spots, just pull in where ever you see a fire ring. The dirt road in isn’t too bad and is pretty short, there were plenty of sedans driving in so it’s accessible for most vehicles when the ground is dry. Lots of cows and cow poop so watch out if you bring dogs! I had full bars of LTE extended network on Verizon, enough to send texts, make calls, and could load some webpages but it was pretty slow

this place is the pits. wide open spaces? no. a tiny corral. dogs off leash. screaming kids. car alarm. motorcycles idling. worse than you could imagine. why would the dyrt reviewers give it 4 stars?!? i hustled hard to get here, even made a reservation. this place does not have dispersed camping, so pls pull that off the listing. tiny corrals for humans and their rigs.
