Campgrounds, lodges, marinas, boat launches, swimming beaches, fishing areas, and hiking/ski trails are available along the 360 miles of shoreline and tucked into mountain retreats.

    Green River Flaming Gorge Dispersed Site

    Dirt, rocks, and sage brush

    Wide open BLM land. This particular spot is easily accessible, although I couldn't tell how friendly other campers were and you have to drive over sagebrush to really pull off the road if the one or two real pull offs are occupied. I ended up driving around rutted and rocky roads off the ones that are on Google maps, trying to find a good pull off but the few there are were already occupied, some by folks that seemed to have been there for a while. Some of the side roads were really rough and I was lucky to make it through them in my Subaru, although any vehicle could handle the main road to the spot tagged here.

    It's also really exposed to the wind and elements with no trees. It's up pretty high and there's not really any wind break from the landscape. Very cold in mid September but I'd imagine really hot at times in the summer. I may have hit it at a particularly windy time but it definitely nearly made me look for an alternative spot, of which options are limited in the area.

    Aside from that it was beautiful. Moon gazing and sunset and sunrise, smelled heavenly of sagebrush. I wouldn't count on seeing wild horses here- I read that recently they've been pushed out but you can look for them further east.

    Quite a nice place

    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.

    Great place to stay

    We’re here in mid September and only two other campers. Got a spot right in the edge of the water. Very private could not see or hear anyone else. Beautiful, clean camping area. The campground on the tip of the little peninsula was available and surround by water on three sides was available, but a little windy. Our selected spot was more secluded but still right on the waters edge.

    Nice campground

    Our 2nd time here. First time we had a spectacular view of the comet Neowise. Some sites along river. As with any campground, some sites close together. Campground was pretty empty this time and we could pick site. Water, flush toilets, although bathrooms not well cared for and smelled bad. Loop A seemed more our style, no big rigs. No sign of campground host. Nice hiking trail along river. Peaceful evening with a lightning and thunder show!

    Okay for a Short Stay

    Our Ford navigation was having a bad day and wanted us to take Exit 91 from I-80 west bound to get to the campground (CG). That exit would have you going through the middle of town, but the alternate navigation we always run(either Waze and/or Google Maps) brought us to the correct exit for the CG. We double-checked the website and verified they are located right off of I-80 at Exit 85 (east bound) or 89(west bound). When we got to the CG, another rig was checking in, so we had to sit on the somewhat busy road until we could make the turn on the street for the CG office. The lady checking us in was super friendly and we proceeded to the upper E section to pull through site 11 with FHUs. The pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and our F450. The utilities worked fine but we needed a reducer as the water pressure was around 100 psi. We read reviews concerning low water pressure and they were working on the waterline in the CG so be aware. There are trees in or near most of the sites. We put our Starlink in the front part of the pad for a northern sky shot. There are 34 sites in the E section; 19 pull-throughs plus 10 small back-ins and 4 tent sites on the back fence where I-80 runs(you will hear road noise anywhere in this CG. There’s a bathhouse and a small fenced dog area. While we were here for 3 days, the poop bag dispenser was empty and the regular-sized garbage can in the dog area was 1/2 full of poop bags. The laundry facility is in the bottom section where the larger back-in sites/permanent party are located. We checked out the public river access at the end of the road down from where the office is located. You could launch a kayak, but there isn’t much parking. After trying to log into the CG WiFi several times, we connected and the WiFi was not good. We got 3 bars on Verizon. One of the transient workers started a loud diesel truck and let it run a long time before departing each morning. Unfortunately, this is a typical occurrence in these types of CGs. We were impressed with the local area brochures they gave us on local dining and the wild horses. They have 24-hour laundry and showers in the CG. In our humble opinion, the best thing about this CG was the coffee and craft beer on draft at the office. They have 4 craft beers on draft and you can get a flight for$5. The coffee and draft beers at the officer are worth checking out. Try a burger on a cornmeal bun at Broadway Burger Station in Rock Springs. This CG was okay for an overnighter or a couple of days at most.

    New Exprience

    The campground is fine. However, we had a pull through and the area we were in they put one camper faced one way and another faced the other way to maximize hook ups in between two units. Results in your campside facing a neighbor campside. Might feel awkward if you are trying to enjoy the outside. The bathrooms looked clean and everything else seems fine. An area plus is an local drive to see wild horses. we did and and saw some.

    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!

    Off the beaten path

    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.
