    Cedar Springs Campground

    Fun place to stay close to Flaming Gorge/Green River.

    We stayed here on a scout camp out for a couple of days we stayed in a group sight # 10 and it had 2 picnic tables and offered lots of room. We had 6 tents set up and there was still lots of room. There was plenty of parking we had at one time 2 cars a big van and my truck and drift boat and had no trouble with parking in the double spot.  We were right next to the camp host and next to the bathrooms with running water and hot showers.

    The campground is a short walk or drive to the marina. We caught lots of fish and crawfish from the shore at the marina and the kids all had fun.

    The camp sight has lots of Cider trees, and pine trees and amazing views. Amazing sunset and sunrises as well. There is running water for RV and lots of room. It wasn't full in June and there were still lots of places to camp.

    This is in a great location if you are going fishing in the Green river or on Flaming Gorge. We were only 10 minutes to the put in of the A section and within walking distant to the marina for Flaming Gorge. We did the free dam tour it is a must see if in the area. You are only a couple of minutes drive to Flaming Gorge Lodge if need a hot meal or fishing equipment they have a great fly shop, store, and cafe. If you forget any food items like ketchup they sell everything at good pricey. Plus it's a great place to get more ice and a coke.

    Fire pits with a nice heavy grill on them. We used it to cook steaks and they were excellent. Also helpful when we cooked crawfish one night. The camp host sells firewood if needed. I was able to try out my new Grubsticks and made some awesome s'mores #grubstick, #Ilovemynewgrubsticks, #bestsmoresever.

    Cedar Springs Campground

    Clean, Quiet and Our 43’er Fit

    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.

    Sheep Creek Bay Boat Ramp and Campground

    Close to boat ramp

    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.

    Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA

    Close to area atrractions

       This 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.

    Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

    Nice pool and great for overnight

    Clean organized KOA with nice pool. The site for pull through are alternated so the sewer connections are not underfoot for either side. The sites are very close and only the fenced off sites have fire pits. It is located directly behind several large oil tanks but enough off the highway the traffic is not heard much. Great hills behind property to let larger dogs get their wiggles out of them. Mostly designed for folks passing through the area.

    Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

    Easy place to crash between Denver and Jackson Hole WY

    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!

    Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey

    Good stop for “along the way”

    This is a “Journey” KOA and is being rated as such. The spaces are very close together and they pull neighbors in alternating directions so that you’re facing a neighbor’s front door when you come out of yours, minimizing privacy if you want to eat or cook outdoors. There are some premium spaces with fences and patios but they were all booked. The tent sites look very private with nice grass pads. The trailer sites are all gravel and dusty, but it’s pretty standard. Easy access off the highway and we didn’t experience any noise. The back of the property is very scenic with some off-roaring and hiking trails. If you’re in partial hook ups in the front of the grounds, you’ll be abutting the petroleum factory. The community showers and restrooms seemed pretty clean and well maintained. The laundry was basic and mostly functioning (a few out of order machines), but we did our laundry with no issue. The pool is small but clean and a good temperature. Staff is friendly and the office store is stocked. The area is very nearby to the Northern end of Flaming Gorge NRA which is pretty awesome. Plenty of other things to do nearby, though the towns of Rock Springs and Green River are a little lacking. Guests are mostly transient and, though the park filled up each day, it mostly cleared out by the following morning. Very convenient along the way stop but also nice for an extra night or two to explore the area! Ask in the office for some tips on places to explore.

    Steinaker State Park Campground

    Close to town

    This is a great recreation area close to the town of Vernal, about 5 miles out. There is a lake for fishing, swimming and water sports. There is a nice beach with pavilions and picnic sites. The campground has full hook up spots, Electrical, a cabin you can rent and tent sites. There is a great group site that gives you access to the water and has a covered pavilion. There are many walking trails and atv trails accessible from this campground.

Guide to Dutch John

Glamping in Dutch John, Utah offers outdoor accommodations from May through September at elevations around 6,100 feet. The area sits along Flaming Gorge Reservoir with juniper and pine forests providing natural settings for upscale camping. Summer temperatures typically range from 45°F nights to 85°F days with occasional afternoon thunderstorms.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Cedar Springs Campground provides convenient access to the Green River's renowned fishing. "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," notes Tom D. from Cedar Springs Campground.

Hiking trails: The Red Canyon trail system offers scenic routes with panoramic views. A camper at Cedar Springs advised, "Red canyon trail is a must-do, bring a camera!" This 1.5-mile loop trail provides views of the reservoir from 1,700 feet above.

Water recreation: Kayaking and paddle boarding are popular at Stateline Cove. "Great kayaking and paddle boarding. Can camp within 40 yards of the water," reports Will E., highlighting the accessibility for water activities.

Wildlife viewing: The area supports deer, antelope, and various bird species. "Antelope wander around the park all day and the water is crystal clear," observed Sara at Lucerne Campground, noting the regular wildlife sightings.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many glamping locations offer separated accommodations. At Cedar Springs, Erin T. appreciated the "private, wooded site" while noting they were "close to the water but have such a private, wooded site."

Clean facilities: Campground maintenance receives consistent praise. "The cleanest vault toilets on the planet," reported E and K F. at Cedar Springs, reflecting the area's commitment to sanitation even at more rustic sites.

Waterfront access: Several locations offer direct water access for glamping guests. "This campground is at end of the FS #18 paved road and then .7 mi of gravel... The lake has a boat ramp," explains Greg L. about East Park Campground.

Spacious group accommodations: For larger glamping parties, dedicated group sites are available. At Iron Springs Group Campground, Cortney M. shares, "We can generally fit 4-5 trailers in this site and squeeze in all our OHV too," making it suitable for reunion-style glamping.

What you should know

Road conditions vary: Some glamping locations require navigating unpaved roads. Ronald C. warns about access to Green River Peninsula: "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."

Reservation requirements: Most premium glamping sites book quickly. "This camp area is sectioned off of the very large sheep creek bay boat ramp parking. There are just 4-5 spots on blacktop for TTs and RVs," notes Greg L. about Sheep Creek Bay Boat Ramp and Campground.

Limited services: Cell coverage and amenities vary significantly. At East Park, Greg L. notes, "No host on site. No cell signal, no water and no trash dumpsters. Two vault toilets present," highlighting the need to prepare accordingly.

Weather considerations: Wind can impact comfort at some sites. Will E. observed at Stateline Cove that it "can get very windy," which affects both tent setups and outdoor activities.
