"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."
"This campground is located right up the road from the marina. Loved being able to be close to the water but have such a private, wooded site. Can be busy and would recommend a reservation vs walk-in."
"A nice clean & quite campground with a great view of Flaming Gorge from the site we stayed at. Flush toilets, no showers, & no electricity but did have access to running water."
"Very peaceful and the Flaming Gorge area in general is a natural wonder."
"Free, dispersed camping in the beautiful Flaming Gorge! The drive in is beautiful, the camping is beautiful...don’t miss it. No services, but just a dirt road to get there."
"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."
$230 / night
"The Red Canyon along the flaming gorge is AMAZING! GREAT fly fishing! Site 29 had 2 tables, views of Ashley Forest, and privacy. Very good campground with showers."
"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."
"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."
"Anyway, it's not far from the Flaming Gorge Dam. There were only two sites still available when we got there. They do take reservations so most sites were reserved."
$173 / night
"I always stay at Greendale Family CG when visiting Flaming Gorge area because there is a store, gas station and restaurant within walking distance."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
$33 - $4500 / night
"This campground is 20 dollars a night, which is a bit more than some of the nearby campgrounds. Very nice hosts and some grassy spots for tents. The views of flaming gorge are great."
"Great campsite next to the lake. The staff was great and super helpful. Antelope and ground squirrels have made this place home."
$230 / night
"The best ice cream around at the resort"
ScoutPleasantly surprised by this campground. Unlike many campground where you are elbow to elbow with your neighbors, this one is very spacious and gives you quite bit of breathing room. Very well kept. Clean and quiet. There are several nearby trails that are easily accessed plus the nearby Red Canyon Lodge where you can fish, rent a paddleboat/canoe, have a bite to eat or ride horses. This campground is about 20 minutes from Flaming Gorge Dam.
GuideDispersed camping on the Wyoming side is practically on a desert oasis so bring plenty of shade. Be prepared for a bit of noise from the ATVs, some dust, and a bit of fire ants during the day. Trust me, it's still so worth it. Spend both days there in the water. This rec area is amazing! Almost guaranteed to find plenty of space (well maybe not during a holiday weekend). Theres portapots by the entrance which depending on where you set up could mean a 10-15 drive so plan on hitting the bushes. Some wildlife, we saw 4 deer and a buck very close by. Cell phone service is available in certain areas. The Utah side is gorgeous but much more crowded. Maybe good to spend a bit of time here in day use and then close the day out over on the Wyoming side.

GuideThis area is beautiful, not super close to water though. We bring our dogs everywhere and hope for shade and/or water. This place at least has good shade and nice open fields for dog play and yard games. It was about 20ish mins drive to flaming gorge area for a beach day!
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.
GuideA nice clean & quite campground with a great view of Flaming Gorge from the site we stayed at. 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.
TravelerWe need electricity and wanted a civilized site near Flaming Gorge. Our friends were staying at Pine Forest so we booked there with our 5m tent. Easy check in process and off to our site. We knew there weren’t many trees at the spot we selected, but it was right next to the over flow parking for our boat and in a quiet corner. Every day the camp hosts mowed, watered and tidied up. The bathrooms and showers were immaculate, cleaned three or four times a day. We were able to walk over to the Flaming Gorge Resort cafe, very convenient for a little lunch without cooking. Loved it! We’ll be back!
GuideI always stay at Greendale Family CG when visiting Flaming Gorge area because there is a store, gas station and restaurant within walking distance.
ScoutForest service (dirt) road leading to Lost Dog day use area in Flaming Gorge. There are places along the road to pull off and boondock, with great sunrise and sunset views and occasional glimpses of the gorge. looks like it might be dicey after heavy rain
TravelerGood spot, close to the town of Manila if you need some supplies! Sheep Creek runs behind the camp ground and the Flaming Gorge is just down the road. We enjoyed our stay there in our brand new motorhome!👍🏻
