The site overseer Tony was helpful, and professional. The grounds maintained. The bathrooms well stocked, clean and offer good hot water pressure for showers. The tent site is large, grass and away from the RV sites. Definitely a spot we will stay again. Note the site offices close at 7pm. We had no reservations so you must arrive before 7pm. Our visit late late September 2024
Guide
The campground is fine. However, we had a pull through and the area we were in they put one camper faced one way and another faced the other way to maximize hook ups in between two units. Results in your campside facing a neighbor campside. Might feel awkward if you are trying to enjoy the outside. The bathrooms looked clean and everything else seems fine. An area plus is an local drive to see wild horses. we did and and saw some.

Ok, why would anyone pay $175-$285 a night to stay in old smelly FS bunkhouses that likely have a long history of housing mice, rats and racoons! The areas by the old cabins are not large enough to park many vehicles. Any camper with their own travel trailer or RV is going to camp anywhere on Ashley NF, including by a lake for free or a lot less. Likely why no one was staying there on the Utah pioneer day week. Not even close to a lake, just stuck in a dense shaded tree patch... No views even.
TravelerI had a lovely stay. The grass was nice and green. The WiFi was strong. Easy pull in pull out. The owner and employees were lovely. I did not use any facilities. But I would highly recommend!!!
Ranger
This is a sectioned off section ofr the parking lot at the boat ramp where 4ish rvs can park/camp. While the camping isn't much, it is right at the boat ramp/launch which is super convenient. There are toilets. Very little shade.
GuideGreat campground for our over night stay. Clean bathrooms. Good internet. Level sites.
GuideThis KOA definitely goes by all the rules , no online chekins after 4 and if you didn’t pay before you got there you paid more. Lots of RV’s looks like long term, camp on gravel no pads , no no food, bery small store.. facilities were clean, not to warm for me, Staff certainly did not want to spend much time answering questions .. but worked in a pinch
Legend
This it the KOA near Dinosaur Np on the Utah/Colorado border. They had a tough winter and were still recovering in June when we stayed.. the area with the dog park was flooded from snow melt, so it had not been mowed in some time. Mosquitoes were bad. Dog park was unusable. They have a pool. Also rent 3-wheel cycles for kids to ride up and down terrorizing everyone. I is a short drive to Dinosaur Np.
Traveler
This place was awesome. Play set, tons of grass, sand volleyball, tether ball, picnic/grilling areas. laundry and bathroom/shower very clean. And staff was great to work with. Would 100% stay again. $49 for 30Amp hookup/water/sewer
Scout
We were able to make a reservation and check in after hours. Quite and only a handful of campers. Great spot to get some rest!
TravelerI couldn't have asked for a better stay. The staff was very friendly, helped me find my spot and checked in with me. Bathrooms where super clean and the overall stay was perfect. Thank you
ScoutHuge open spaces, more like a dirt parking lot. The staff was friendly, but for the price I paid, I expected a little more.  lots of car alarms going off, lots of dogs barking, but it’s been nice to have a little greenery or some trees. 
Traveler
Our reservation got changed at the last minute from Buckboard WY to Lucerne and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff was super accommodating and friendly, and our campsite was absolutely gorgeous and one of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Definitely recommend.
Scout
By luck we found this site online when looking for campgrounds in the mountains. First year we went in July and the nights were perfectly chilly (dog water had a layer of ice on top by the a.m.). The sun is very warm due to the altitude. Second year we went in August and it was perfect. We stay on the east side where there’s more trees. Lake is always full and perfect for kayaks and SUPs. There is water available near each bathroom but there is no water at the sites themselves. This is now our annual end-of-summer tradition. We’re heading back in August.
GuideJust traveling though. Here for the night. Super easy check in. Friendly staff. Was pretty empty. Little highway noise but not too bad. Slept just fine in the roof top tent. Not a ton of bugs. Few skeeters and moths but not as bad as the last place we stayed in
TravelerBeautiful and grassy, endless blue sky and quiet - just as we like it.
GuideWe picked up our new Bean Trailer in Utah this January and needed a place to stay with bathroom facilities. This Camp was the only one around that had facilities in the wintertime. What a Godsend! The staff was very friendly and the bathrooms were clean and warm which was very welcome with the weather in the single digits. I would highly recommend this Camp as a comfortable pass-through camp!
Traveler
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!
TravelerWow! We spent 3 nights at Dippy Cabin and what a fantastic place! Amazing views, private drive, mini fridge, and microwave. Full size bunk beds, porch, and grill. Absolutely fantastic.
Traveler
Don't give this place your money. You can't even tent camp here for less than 55.00 per night. Just go another 8-9 miles down the highway to Steinaker where tent camping is 20.00 and RV sites with full hookups are around 35.00.
TravelerThe scenery was lovely. Able to pull into the tent site with our Ford E150 no problems, basically no one else in the tent portion of the site (mostly in the RV section). Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table and chairs. Bathrooms were clean, water was hot.
GuideThis state park is great. They have trash, water and vault toilets. The sites are a bit closer than I typically like however it still has some privacy. They have various types of sites to choose from depending on what you need. I’ll definitely be back.
Guide
Arrived 6:15pm. Called in around 5pm on a Friday and they had a site available for the night. Unclear where RVs should park to check in at the hotel lobby, but there’s a large parking area so we parked sideways through several spots. They escorted us to our site: pull through, full hookups. Sites are long with plenty of room for the slide. Can hear the noise from the idling big rigs right next to the campground. Bathrooms are in the hotel lobby, which closes at 10:30pm, or the Travel Center right next door. There’s also a Sinclair gas station on the property. Would definitely stay here again.
ScoutUsed to allow free overnight parking. No longer. Campground in back is clean, easy to get around for large rigs but close together and sterile. Fully gravel. $39
LegendVery cute campground. Nice place to stay to visit Jim Bridger’s fort. We walked to the museum which is great. Lot to see. We talked to the ranger who was full of information about the fort and the Mormons.
RangerThis is a KOA Journey but for the price their charge I was expecting to get more. Other reviews mentioned a pool, which would have been nice since we went through there during a heat wave but the pool was closed. This looked more like a RV Park(i.e.: parking lot) than a campground. I would not go back.
Traveler$44/night. Clean, modern laundry. $2/wash and $2/40 min of dryer. Clean restrooms. Showers 0.25 cents for 7 minutes. Level gravel sites. Right outside visitor center for Dinosaur national monument, Quarry wall of dinosaur bones and several self guided auto tours with stops along the way. No shade. No fire pits. New facility.
