Staff was lovely and accommodating. They upgraded us to FHU at no addl charge since the site we had booked was closed for the season. Yeah there is some highway noise, which i suspect would be more problematic in a tent. We're going to stay here on our way back as well, and drive the Pilot Butte Scenic loop to look for wild horses!
Scout
We loved camping here, but the parties at the lake and car alarms going off were annoying.
GuideThe 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.

Enough reviews don't mention mosquitos that I think it must just depend on the day you go. That said, I went with one of my best friends a few years ago and we tell the story of our experience at parties. I go on multi week long road trips and have camped all over the country. So believe me when I say the mosquitos here, depending on the day, are utterly out of control.
The drive was beautiful but as soon as we got out, we could tell something was wrong. We put on double layers of clothes, bug spray and bug bracelets, and stood in the smoke of the fire we started; the bugs could not care less. We gave up on setting up tents and ran into the car and about 50 mosquitos followed us inside in the second it took to open the doors. We spent at least an hour trying to smack them all, literally covering the walls of her car in blood. After attempting to sleep in the sweltering car that night, we headed out of there before the sun rose. After it all, more of our skin was covered in bug bites than not. I've never seen anything like it.
It seems like an amazing spot when it's not suffering a plague. I could never roll the dice and try again though.
TravelerArrives at 6pm after long day of travel. Site 20 were the last 2 sites available on 2024 July 4th weekend. The camp is really full most of the season due to being close to the shower house in Deer Creek Campground, the lake and marina. The camp host is a great guy and wood is available.
Ranger
This is a sectioned off section ofr the parking lot at the boat ramp where 4ish rvs can park/camp. While the camping isn't much, it is right at the boat ramp/launch which is super convenient. There are toilets. Very little shade.
Ranger
Dispersed beach camping, vault toilets, dumpsters, great views and direct access for swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding. Boats can be put in at marina and beached here. No trees or shade but a light constant breeze in jun when we visited
Guide
Spent one night here. The staff was really friendly and it's a very well maintained camp. The showers and bathrooms were spotless, and the dumpsters were very convenient. I ended up at a full hookup spot that cost $50 a night. I believe there are $30 options available as well. On the pricier side, but worth it. I believe they offer weekly discounts. I'm going to look into this if in the area again.
Guide
6 spots and when we arrived on afternoon of Tuesday after Memorial Day there was only one other camper there. Outhouse was SPOTLESS, maybe 10 cars passed in total. No cell signal on my AT&T or Verizon so download some playlists! Fantastic spot to camp if you want to be out in the middle of nowhere!
GuideThis KOA definitely goes by all the rules , no online chekins after 4 and if you didn’t pay before you got there you paid more. Lots of RV’s looks like long term, camp on gravel no pads , no no food, bery small store.. facilities were clean, not to warm for me, Staff certainly did not want to spend much time answering questions .. but worked in a pinch
ScoutFirst of all you must drive 10 miles up an extremely rutted dirt road to get to the camping area. There are NO picnic tables, toilets of any kind or water...just areas to pull off & camp. Not really worth the road you must take to get here!
Guide
We loved camping here after visiting Flaming Gorge! It was definitely worth the drive down because it loops us back up to I-80 on the western side of the gorge.
The road is bumpy but it's nothing a regular passenger car shouldn't be able to handle. The camp sites are spacious and each one is far enough from each other that peace and quietness was never an issue. There are some sites with fire pits and lots is dead wood that can be used. Plenty of shade from trees, but it does get breezy at night.

Pulling into my chosen spot and doing a 180 at the beauty and serenity of this area( stayed at 40°59'20.4"N 109°32'13.7"W, not all the way out), made me feel a little bit better regarding the trip in. Jug Hollow Road should be renamed: Rough Hollow Road! Had I known how bad it would get, I would not have made the journey with my 40' Toy Hauler. Many have mentioned the 5+ miles of Washboard road, but there is a long section that has been washed out, rutted and very hazardous! Far worse than any road I've been on. And as some folks do, there is no exaggeration involved here to keep the area from becoming"too popular". Making things worse is that most of the road in is very narrow. Thank goodness I did not meet an outgoing camper! Not sure what would happen if I had? And there is no going off the side of the road, as the road is dug in pretty deep from years of grading(which BTW, is in dire need of a re-do! Again, a beautiful area with lots of water, fishing, kayaking, ATV's and Dirt Bikes. But you have to ask yourself whether potential damage to your rig and it's contents are worth risking. And let us not forget.. if you come down Route 191 from I-80.. be prepared for a"White-Knuckle" experience!!! Especially that 2-1/2 mile, 9% grade to go down.
GuideAfter traveling 80 miles of flat dirt, sage and 95 degrees through southern Wyoming this was an amazing surprise. Nestled in a beautiful canyon with great views. It has six sites most have tent pads. The first two offer little shade and are close to the road. We found the bathrooms to be very clean and for a free campsite it was well maintained and clean. We were fortunate enough to have it to ourselves. On those 90 degree days, the shade here is very welcome.
ScoutHuge 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. 
Traveler
Our reservation got changed at the last minute from Buckboard WY to Lucerne and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff was super accommodating and friendly, and our campsite was absolutely gorgeous and one of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Definitely recommend.
GuideJust traveling though. Here for the night. Super easy check in. Friendly staff. Was pretty empty. Little highway noise but not too bad. Slept just fine in the roof top tent. Not a ton of bugs. Few skeeters and moths but not as bad as the last place we stayed in
TravelerNo camping in Flaming Gorge w 2-3 feet of snow still....so headed toward Vernal and remembered we had scoped this place out on a previous raft trip. Campsite 12 is beautiful and...we were the only ones here on a Friday!
TravelerWow! We spent 3 nights at Dippy Cabin and what a fantastic place! Amazing views, private drive, mini fridge, and microwave. Full size bunk beds, porch, and grill. Absolutely fantastic.
Traveler
Don't give this place your money. You can't even tent camp here for less than 55.00 per night. Just go another 8-9 miles down the highway to Steinaker where tent camping is 20.00 and RV sites with full hookups are around 35.00.
Ranger
Down a 3 mile bumpy gravel road but worth it great water views
TravelerThe scenery was lovely. Able to pull into the tent site with our Ford E150 no problems, basically no one else in the tent portion of the site (mostly in the RV section). Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table and chairs. Bathrooms were clean, water was hot.
GuideThis campsite has maybe 15-20 sites. I came on a Sunday in mid-October and it was a maybe 2/3 full. It’s in a beautiful, canyon-like setting near the Green River. The star-gazing is excellent. The campsite was not, unfortunately, right on the river, although there is a reservable group campsite on the water, available for rafters. But there are many beautiful things to see in the area, so it was worth the drive. Just be aware the road is rough in places. You’ll need to drive slowly if you’re in a larger vehicle. Road signs say it is “impassable” when wet. So I wouldn’t try coming here when rain is in the forecast, unless you’re really prepared. There was also potable water available when I was there, but it was being shut off 10/17.
GuideThis state park is great. They have trash, water and vault toilets. The sites are a bit closer than I typically like however it still has some privacy. They have various types of sites to choose from depending on what you need. I’ll definitely be back.
RangerI like this place in terms of location/proximity around Flaming Gorge. I feel like the campsites are a little too close to each other. Bathrooms are super clean and well kept. Super easy to find.
RangerThis is a KOA Journey but for the price their charge I was expecting to get more. Other reviews mentioned a pool, which would have been nice since we went through there during a heat wave but the pool was closed. This looked more like a RV Park(i.e.: parking lot) than a campground. I would not go back.
TravelerStayed in space 7 in our 40ft Silver Eagle bus. This space is full sun so if you need ro charge solar this is great. 50amp and 30 Amp hookups. Will stay again
