    Flaming Gorge-Manila KOA

    Great KOA in small town

    We were greeted so warmly by Traci, who with her husband runs the campground. As it is off-season, the campground was empty and Traci helped us pick a sunny site. She also suggested a late afternoon scenic drive nearby. Such a pretty area and the campground is very near. Super clean bathrooms.

    Green River Campground — Dinosaur National Monument

    Nice remote campground

    Beautiful site along the Green River within Dinosaur National Monument. We arrived about 4 pm on a Sunday in October so had several FCFS sites to choose from. There is a nice easy-moderate trail along the river from Loop A Of the campground. Quiet with clean, basic bathrooms. Lots of cottonwood trees changing color now.

    Deer Run Campground

    Tucked away and private

    Came at the end of the season (early October). Lots of sites to choose from. Friendly and helpful Camp Manager. Took a day trip into Vernal.

    Campsite tucked back into the pines. Nice and private. Clean and warm showers.

    Flaming Gorge-Manila KOA

    Super nice KOA

    This was a super clean and well maintained KOA. Not much traffic at this time of year (early Oct). Laundry was $2 wash and 1.50 dry. Super nice people own. They charge $15 to dump if boondocking nearby. Water is .40c/gallon. They do close middle of Oct for the winter.

    White Mountain Road

    Easy to get to and cool views!

    Gravel road was very easy to get up. Further on the path, it did get rockier though. The view is so cool.

    Spring Creek Road Dispersed - Flaming Gorge

    Absolutely stunning site

    Pictures do not do these sites justice! The gorge is beautiful, the lake is beautiful, the sites are level and easy to access. By far the best public camping we've been to. Don't listen to the reviews about "non biting mosquitos" they are midges! Mosquito's harmless doppelgangers, but there are A LOT of them.

    Stateline Cove Campground

    Great Stay!

    We are here at the end of Sept/early Oct 2025 in a 35 ft 5th wheel. We have this place pretty much to ourselves. The "campground" closed mid Sept. During that time it is $21 per night/$10.50 with senior pass. Once it closes it basically becomes boondicking sites and there is no charge. Host was still here packing up and he confirmed this for us. During season, they have several pit toilets and dumpsters. Currently the pit toilets are locked and dumpsters have been removed. There is a KOA down the road with dump ($115), water (.40c/gallon) and laundry. There are no set sites. A sandy road around the area with areas to pull off. Several picnic tables and some fire pits. No camping right on the water but plenty of "sites" with water views. Antelope passing thru throughout the day. Beautiful sunrises and we had a beautiful double rainbow reflecting off both the water and miuntains. Drive here is beautiful as well as the Sheep Creek Scenic Byway. Loved our stay here and will be back.

    Red Canyon

    Amazing Views!!!

    We snagged Campspot #2 which had direct access to the Canyon Rim Trail and its views of the Flaming Gorge. Only one other camper here at this time. Views would be 5 stars, but there is very little privacy to the sites, no water available and tiny toilets with minimal to no toilet paper. And yet, costs $34/night… there are other campgrounds nearby that we stopped at first to fill our water jugs.
