Top 10+ Dog-Friendly Campgrounds near Flaming Gorge, UT

This 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!

I always stay at Greendale Family CG when visiting Flaming Gorge area because there is a store, gas station and restaurant within walking distance.

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.

We've camped there twice for a quiet place on Flaming Gorge. Rarely half full with great water access, boat ramp and clean facilities. But of a long dirt road in, and no "hookups" keep the party RV groups away.

Everything 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.

No 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!

We only spent one night at Firefighters but I am sure we will be back. There were no hookups but the sites were paved and reasonably level. Ours backed up to the gorge. Very peaceful and the Flaming Gorge area in general is a natural wonder.

There was not another single soul at this campsite while I was here. At the end of a peninsula into the flaming gorge reservoir, this spot is simply stunning. Huge spots and great views. Came in October and the temperature was much warmer than anticipated. Highly recommend.

Not 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.

We stayed here over Father’s Day weekend (#31). Beautiful views of the lake and a pretty quiet area for Flaming Gorge. There is a boat ramp close by. The 4 mile dirt road was the main downside for us. It’s also a bit dated. Overall it’s a pretty good site.

Largest developed CG on westside of flaming gorge. Several loops for TTs/TVs and tent campers. Electric hookups sites also. Water, trash, restrooms, showers. Lots of staff maintenance activity around. Not my style of camping but families will like it and RVs that need electric will like it. $31 electric sites, $22 no electric sites. Water, trash restrooms, showers.

This spot is in a pretty remote section of Northwest Colorado so it's pretty calm and quiet. It's also the put-in for the Gates of Lodore wilderness river trips and the take-out for the Flaming Gorge section. Large campground with many campsites. The boat ramp and launch area is huge as well.

We just got back from a weekend RV camping at Canyon Rim campground in Flaming Gorge UT. We absolutely LOVED it! Quite, peaceful, well maintained, new fire pits, very clean toilets. A herd of big horn sheep just meander through the site super close but they are non threatening, seem to be used to people, not bothered at all. It was so cool! Sites are well spaced and there are a few that are set back (#10) which is a GEM if you don't want to be near anyone. The Canyon rim trail runs through the CS, just jump on and its about 1 mile to the Red Canyon Visitor Center. It was closed but still gorgeous views.  We had an extremely windy day and spent most of the day in the RV, kids wandered around the campsite looking for "cool rocks" which there are ALOT of! I'm guessing it gets quite windy in most areas of Flaming Gorge in general. We'd go back for sure! Temperature was really comfortable between 45 at night and 75/80 during the day.

This campground is one of four along Sheep Creek going into Flaming Gorge lake. There are 9 sites all FCFS, no reservations. $15/$7.50 senior. NO WATER and NO cell signal. There is a vault toilet and a trash dumpster. Nice open sunny spots if you need solar. No cell here but Starlink works great only 10 mi back to Manila for supplies.

We did a small backpacking trip from the Greendale Overlook on highway 40 to the Canyon Rim campground for the night. The hike was beautiful, crossing creeks and surrounded by ponderosa pines. It's about 4.5 miles one way.
Canyon Rim Campground is beautiful, also surrounded by ponderosa and aspen, and with a beautiful overlook of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. There are specific sites for tent camping, and plenty of RV spots. Each spot has tables and fire rings. There are vault toilets.
Our only complaint is that all of the water to the campground was shut off! No signs warning that there was no water available. This was actually awful as we had backpacked in with our dogs (who at this point were very thirsty), and brought dehydrated food that required water to make. Luckily, Red Canyon Lodge is located about a mile away. We were able to hike over and buy water. 16 small bottles of water for like 45 dollars...not ideal.
