"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."
"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."
"Flush toilets, no showers, & no electricity but did have access to running water. Flaming Gorge resort less than five minutes away with restaurant, general store, & sporting goods available."
" We did a drive through. I don't know who laid this campground out, but they knew what they were doing! We were blown away by the beautiful, well spaced sites.
"
$230 / night
"Its $25 a night so for me a lil pricey but then when I walked my dog around the park I can see why it cost that much. There were like 6 bathroom facilities a boat dock and even shower facilities."
"The pull-thru was nearly level. The site provided enough space for a tent nicely nestled among the trees. A picnic table and fire ring were on site. "
"Potable water and a dump station are located just down the road, for a fee of $6 you can dump and refill your tank. This campground is very close to the Flaming Gorge Reservoir."
"There are trash dumpsters close to the restrooms."
"Don’t take 318 from CO and into Utah in the dark. Lesson learned.
Nice quiet place to spend the night, can see stars if the weather is good."
"Dispersed camping on the lake. Drive down a gravel road and then hit a awesome lake view. It was during Memorial Day weekend and still found a spot."
$173 / night
"Dusty dirt road adjacent to the CG that goes to a over RV park may be an issue for sites close to that side. Dumpster on site. Cell signal good."
"I always stay at Greendale Family CG when visiting Flaming Gorge area because there is a store, gas station and restaurant within walking distance."
"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."
"Easy access from the main highway, lots of spots to camp right on the waters edge."
"This was one of my favorite finds during my trip through Utah earlier this summer. We were checking out Flaming Gorge and, predictably, all the campgrounds were booked full."
"We found a spot next to a stream on forest road 838. Very few campers in the area, all quiet and respectful. Road was rough, no problem for our Subaru Forester. Lots of hiking available in the area."
$230 / night
"The best ice cream around at the resort"
"Not too far down the road off the highway, this spot was easy to access for my 35 ft trailer and extended cab truck. Only took an inch and a half or so of leveling to get level on my driver side."
"Stayed one night,,spot is off main road around a mile on left there is a pull out spot big enough for our 26’ travel trailer to turn around and get level,,"
LegendCG is a long hwy #191 just outside of Flaming Gorge Recreation Area. 35 total sites, 22 are reservable. Vault toilets and dumpsters available. RV dump open but no water in CG or at RV dump. Sites are $23/$11.50 senior. Managed by a contractor, camp host onsite. Only neg is close to hwy so traffic noise. Cell signal is not known. 10 miles from Dutch John and the water and boat ramps
GuideIf 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.
LegendI love staying here after fishing the green river. Its in between Little hole and Dutch John. I stayed on Memorial day weekend and there was still plenty of room. Lots of big spots for tent of trailers. Really nice tables and pavilions and nice bathrooms.
LegendThis it the KOA near Dinosaur Np on the Utah/Colorado border. They had a tough winter and were still recovering in June when we stayed.. the area with the dog park was flooded from snow melt, so it had not been mowed in some time. Mosquitoes were bad. Dog park was unusable. They have a pool. Also rent 3-wheel cycles for kids to ride up and down terrorizing everyone. I is a short drive to Dinosaur Np.
RangerNice 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.
LegendWe called the park and asked if we could arrive around 2:00 PM as check in is 4:00 PM? There was no problem coming in early. Check in was quick and we proceeded to premium site 57, which was a back-in with FHUs that were smartly placed in the middle of the gravel pad. We paid extra for a premium site because they are supposed to have more yard space with private fire pits. The rig to our utilities side was very close and while our area out the door side was large, there was a formal path leading to the open pasture(watch out for cow and dog poop). The pasture area has formal trails that lead through the national forest to the Firefighters Memorial one direction and a Flaming Gorge overlook the other direction. Sites 18-21 actually had the biggest yard area and were the best sites in our opinion. Water pressure was good, no OTA channels so we put out our satellite with no issues, above average WiFi and 3 bars on Verizon. Our site was level but 56 next to us had to use levelers on their utilities side to level. One of the camp hosts was temporarily in 56, and he could not have been nicer offering assistance and tips on the area. They had 2 washers and dryers and cost$2.50 to wash and$1.75 to dry. There was lots to do and see in the area. Red Canyon Visitors Center along with the Red Canyon view trail and Sheep Creek Geological Loop are must sees. After you finish the geological loop, you’re close to Manila, UT and they have the Flaming Gorge Market and Mercantile, which is also a True Value hardware with fishing and souvenir items. Their market area has a good variety of items to include condiments, charcoal briquettes, bread/buns, hotdogs, lunch meat and salad etc. at decent prices. We bought a small mayonnaise and vinegar in Dutch John that cost$9 so like other reviews said, best to bring these type of items with you. Pine Forest management was laid back compared to other private CGs we have stayed. We enjoyed our week stay and would definitely come back.
GuideGreat stay here. No real amenities except for a good bar and restaurant. We had lunch there one day. Decent space between sites. No dog park although large grassy area to walk the dogs. RV park is not gated.
Very friendly staff. Clean Park and quiet.
GuideEverything 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.
RangerNot 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.
