ScoutMy family and I love camping and have been building our camping arsenal and experience. This campsite gave us a good time and also helped us realized what we needed to add to our “Need to Buy List: Camping Edition.”
First, the Pros of the visit.
Now the Cons.
Overall, it was not a bad campsite! I think our experience wasn’t the best but that’s mainly due our unpreparedness and lack of experience. There’s many things to do in Fruitland area and also places where you can enjoy the peace and quiet! I hope our learning experience can benefit anyone interested in go to this campsite! Happy camping!
LegendAspen Campground is a beautiful little campground up Forest Road 144 (just east of Wolf Creek Pass, just before Hannah, UT). There are several reservable sites at Aspen, many of which border the Duchesne River. There is a fence between the campground and the river with a couple access points that can be a little tricky to find since the vegetation is rather thick.
All of the sites have picnic tables and fire pit with plenty of adequate space for large tents. The sites are spread out fairly well, and the thickness of the trees helps to separate the sites even more. All in all, the campground is quiet and quaint, with a gorgeous view of the cliffside to the west.
GuideThis 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.
TravelerMoon 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.
LegendThis campground is only a few blocks from downtown Vernal, but out of town enough for a rural feel. Some highway noise, but quiets down by nightfall. This campground had a good feel to it IMO. Not super large, but almost all the sites were pull through. I requested a spot by the bathroom/shower building & we got a patio site. Very nice site with a propane grill provided.
There are 3 bathroom/showers in the campground. One in the office building, one by the pool & one by the tent section. Bathrooms were clean. I used the laundry room without issues.
They had a couple of tipis, a woody tent (don't know what that is). 15 tent sites & cabins. The RV sites were basic KOA.- in a row & kind of close. We had no issues with WIFI. Staff was courteous& they had a lot of area information. I especially liked the day trips that were numbered. We camped at Vernal/ Dinosaurland KOA Holiday in a Travel Trailer.
GuideWe stayed in a campground spot with grass, fire pit and a kind of splintery picnic table. We had the area to ourselves. We were next to a stream on the other side of a fence. Deer came to visit. Cottonwood trees all around, had not yet leafed out, but I imagine nice shade in summer. 2 very clean single stall restrooms with flush toilets and lavs a short walk away. The campground could use a bit of TLC, yet we loved our stay, because so peaceful. They also have cabins and pull through camping with shelters. Very nice person checking us in.
TravelerPaved campsites in a birch & scrub forest. Friendly hosts. Fire pit/grill combo and large wooden picnic table in good shape. Overall a nice campground.
LegendI have stayed here a couple times. We like campsite #38 because it is a double spot that can fit 3 or more cars or a truck and boat or large RV or trailer. It has a few flat spots for tents, and 2 tables and a nice fire ring. There are also lots of aspen trees that are nice for hanging a hammock in. The double spot is $46 a night and single is $23
Aspen grove is a beautiful camp site with lots of Aspen trees and in a valley it is a 5 minute walk to the marina of Strawberry. you also can launch a boat at the marina and you are only 5 minutes from the damn, were we caught some 22+ inch cutthrouts and other trout at the damn as well as a few smaller fish.
We caught around 250 crawfish that we cooked and ate at out camp site that night as well as cooking some steaks as well we had a surf and turf it made for a yummy dinner.
There is a water spiket at each campsites and bathrooms are close with running water. There is also a big dumpster to get rid of your trash. There is firewood you can purchase from the camp host. The camp host is really friendly and helpful.
I have stayed here each year in September and there is always spots open. It is better to call ahead because it can fill up. This is a beautiful campsite when the leafs start to change color. This in one of the nicest places to stay in Utah. https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232390
LegendWashington lake was my childhood campground! I’ve been back many times over the years. It’s since been paved and all sorts of amenities are available. As a kid it was just a dirt campground, but has been much improved since. Picnic tables. Fire pits. Electric hookups. Etc.
The lake is fairly large, full of fish, and fun to canoe around! All around the lake are amazing dispersed camping spots, and trails connecting to other lakes.
Our YouTube channel Intro was filmed on location at Washington Lake! Enjoy
