"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."
"After going over an 8500 foot pass and stopping in the close by town of Rangely, UT (visiting the town museum), we arrived. The park was pretty full but the atmosphere was welcoming and calm. "
"Access to the lake is about 6 miles and access to national park activities close and easy to get to. Would recommend if you are KOA campers."
$33 - $4500 / night
"Great campsite next to the lake. The staff was great and super helpful. Antelope and ground squirrels have made this place home."
"Antelope wander around the park all day and the water is crystal clear. We didn’t have a reservation and they have many first come first serve sites- we even got one with an amazing lake view."
"Easy access from the main highway, lots of spots to camp right on the waters edge."
"Got a spot right in the edge of the water. Very private could not see or hear anyone else. Beautiful, clean camping area."
$7 - $13 / night
"Heading South from Manila, Utah on Hwy 44 takes you to the Sheep creek Geological loop. Heading up into the Canyon about 2 mi brings you to the Carmel Campground."
"Minutes away from lots of activities. This campground is secluded in Ashley National Forest with tons to do. From hiking to fishing to playing in the Gorge you’ll enjoy this location day and night."
"Remote lakeside beautiful spot to dry camp. Quiet and peaceful! Nice place to camp after a long drive."
"Close to Manilla for gas and supplies. The town of green river is approximately 1 hour away."
"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."
"It our favorite spot in the lake!!! Somewhat protected from the storms and it’s a very quiet place!!!"
$28 / night
"The look out is within walking distance and it is close to the trailhead to the loop trail. Tent camping and RV this is a nice set up."
"Easy access to the visitor center and rim trail."
$8 - $15 / night
"Good 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."
"This small CG is tucked along the creek and has cottonwoods for shade at some sites. $15/$7.50 senior. One vault toilets, one dumpster. No water and no cell signal so bring your Starlink!"
$25 / night
"Right on the edge, there are 3 tenting sites within 50 ft of the side of the cliff, 8,9, and 10. Definitely the best spots."
"Sites 7, 8, 9 are our favorites, and while they don't offer a ton of privacy or shade, the views and access to the cliff edge are unbeatable."
TravelerThis was a beautiful site with lots of space provided. In addition, there are LOTS of sites! The road was in good condition, but if you want to go further up the mountain may need 4-wheel drive. Cell service was good as well. I have AT&T and had 3-4 bars the entire time. The only thing that wasn’t great was the wind, but that’s to be expected with a mountaintop. Overall, this was one of my favorite sites from my most recent trip.
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.
TravelerHelpful hosts. Nice grassy area with trees. Spacious RV spot. We would definitely stay again!
GuideClean, free, hot showers, clean bathrooms. Nice little dog park. Friendly staff. Easy access, free WiFi.
The only downsize is that the pull through campsite, you come in from the right and your neighbor comes in from the left so your front doors are facing each other and are about 12 feet apart, ok for one night, I suppose.
TravelerWe stayed just outside Buckboard Crossing Campground near 41.23339 N, 109.59618 W and had an amazing experience. For most of the week, we were completely alone it was quiet, peaceful, and right along the water. Finding a level spot close to the lake can be a little tricky, but nothing too challenging. We tow a 19 ft travel trailer and had no issues getting in or out.The dirt roads in can be rough in places definitely a lot of ruts and potholes likely caused by people driving when it's muddy. That said, we saw smaller vehicles make it just fine. While we wouldn't recommend this for oversized rigs unless you're experienced, the main access road to the sites is wide enough, and a large travel trailer did show up a couple days before we left.There were some folks with off-leash dogs, and traffic picked up a bit on Friday and into the weekend with boaters and folks riding around on UTVs, but it never felt crowded. There is some scattered trash around the area left by others, but nothing overwhelming.Just down the road is the established Buckboard Crossing Campground with a boat launch, vault toilet, and what looks like a dump station and spigot, though the water was shut off during our stay. We ended up dumping and refilling at the Maverik in town, which had free services.
TravelerLarge sandy lot. Easy to get to on paved road. Enough room for several vehicles. No amenities at all. No trees. No fire pits. Just a better than Walmart place to sleep for a night or two. Verizon is about 3 bars. Quiet and not too far from town with all the big box stores.
GuideCampground of 31 sites, with pit toilets but also has a flush toilet/4 shower building. And dump station. Very pleasant cg around a smallish lake near Vernal, UT. Friendly manager of park.
TravelerWe found this place by chance a couple summers ago when all the campgrounds were packed this one was vacant and absolutely breathtaking. Now we are back again and couldn't be more excited. This dispersed campground is one to check out. It has very secluded spots tucked in the trees. You don't hear the highway traffic even at closer spots to the road. There are endless options for sites. In the summer they do drive cattle through this spot so be mindful that you may hear horses, riders, dogs, and mooing. Also it's fair to note they don't clean up after themselves. It is still worth it.
I do want to note that if you have a low clearance vehicle you must go SLOOOWWW. The road is pretty washed out and has plenty of rocks that will take your oil pan as a souvenir. If you have flipped the axel on your rig I'm sure it would be no problem bringing it down this road and you'd have space to flip around if needed. Tent camping offers more options in this location as there is plenty of grassy spots to put up your tents for a nice rest. Please keep this spot as wild as it is while I write this. Pack it in and pack it OUT. This spot is wild and deserves to stay that way.
TravelerThis area is stunning! The campground really seems suited to RVs and we had a tent. It has weird double sites that share a shelter and campfire area with other campers. When we stayed there, the host gave our sweet epic view (long-reserved) spot away to some RV people and stuck us in a crappy middle spot.
I think it’s probably just better to stay right down the road on the shore of the Flaming Gorge, the terrain is super navigable and there’s dispersed camping and a bathroom. The swimming was great! There was a wild lightning storm when we stayed there so the shelter was actually nice to have.
