And offered eggs from his chickens on site. Place has a nice river and the views were amazing. The snow covered mountains offered an amazing view and a nice hike," noted one camper about Sevier River RV Park. Winter camping is limited in some areas due to snow and cold temperatures, while summer brings warmer conditions ideal for outdoor recreation. Many campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though services may be reduced during winter months.

We parked in the gravel area for the night. Easy on and off and flat. Lots of room. There a couple of spots further in that would have been fine but we didn’t want to level since it was just the night.

Ancient Fremont Indigenous Pretroglyohs
This place is awesome. So much to see. Incredible history. Was pretty empty place during a rainy October. The hikes were short to each panel. Highly recommend this state park even if you don’t camp.

Cold Springs Cua Dispersed
Perfect quick stop along the highway
Easy drive to get to camp area, about 15 miles up a paved road into beautiful national park. There are about 15 spots in the Aspens, we went all the way to end and camped against Cold Spring lake.
Area was pretty full in October with lots of people deer hunting.

GuideSam Stowe Campground — Fremont Indian State Park
Sleep in a pit house
We spent a night in the pit house at the Sam Stowe campground, one of yhe most unusual accommodations in the Utah State Park system. It is based on the type of houses that the Fremont natives who originally lived here lived in. Fortunately it has actual mattresses, not grass mats, so it is pretty comfortable.
The pit house has a double bed plus up to four singles, and has a space heater and fan. There is electricity for lights and outlets, but no fridge or microwave. There is a picnic table and fire pit.
Flush toilets and showers are a short walk away, as is the small camp laundromat.
