6. Dollar Lake Campsites
Lonetree, Wyoming2 Reviews•24 Photos•53 SavesFrom the Henry Fork Trailhead (approx. 9400 feet elev.) the trail gains very little elevation during the first 5.5 miles with several lakes to camp by along the way. The first lake reached is Alligator Lake. At just under 3 miles from the trailhead, this beautiful lake is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a nice, easy introduction to the altitude and rigors of backpacking. After passing Alligator Lake the trail continues on the Henry's Fork Trail for another 3 miles. At this point, you'll reach a trail junction known as ElkHorn Crossing.
You can take the trail heading due south. This trail is the most direct route. After 2 miles, it will pass by the most popular lake in the area, Dollar Lake, which has a numbers of excellent established campsites near by.

Green River Campground — Dinosaur National Monument
Nice site along the river
Very nice campground right on the Green River. Services include water faucets and flush toilets. Plenty to do and see nearby. Limited cell service. If you want the best shade, choose the B loop.

Great, but a little noisy so close to the lake
We loved camping here, but the parties at the lake and car alarms going off were annoying.

Great place to stay
We’re here in mid September and only two other campers. Got a spot right in the edge of the water. Very private could not see or hear anyone else. Beautiful, clean camping area. The campground on the tip of the little peninsula was available and surround by water on three sides was available, but a little windy. Our selected spot was more secluded but still right on the waters edge.

Great area. Fun mountain biking trails. Couple of spots with fire rings. Only issue is someone is “camping” in their car right by the day use area, a non-camping area.

Green River Campground — Dinosaur National Monument
Nice campground
Our 2nd time here. First time we had a spectacular view of the comet Neowise. Some sites along river. As with any campground, some sites close together. Campground was pretty empty this time and we could pick site. Water, flush toilets, although bathrooms not well cared for and smelled bad. Loop A seemed more our style, no big rigs. No sign of campground host. Nice hiking trail along river. Peaceful evening with a lightning and thunder show!

Promised Land Resort
RV Park off the beaten path
The road to get here can be interesting if you’ve never been. I wasn’t expecting a dirt road right next to the river. You don’t need any special vehicle though and as soon as you get to the resort, it is GORGEOUS. They have a couple playgrounds (one is better than the other) and lots of open grass area. The swimming pond was a great place for my kids to play. I randomly tried this resort and it will definitely be one I go to again.

Fossil Valley RV Park
Nice little park
We enjoyed this little RV park. It was quiet and well maintained and just off the main road making it easy to walk about parts of town. Vernal is a nice town with several interesting drives and sites nearby. This RV park is a good launching pad for day trips!

Summit Springs Guard Station
Overpriced old FS station
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.

Sites 1-14 are best for RVs trailers, sites 15-20 are small for tenters. Three big group areas in the middle. Vault toilets, tables and fire rings but no water or trash

Great views of the lake
Pull through and back in sites available. The back in sites are right on the edge of the hill that leads down to the water. Water and electricity. There’s a place right outside the park to dump your tanks.

Wasatch National Forest Moosehorn Campground
Great spot next to a picturesque lake
We got site 12, which worked great for us. The site has 3 spots for tents ranging from 3 person to 6 person, but we used the parking space because we have a giant tent
The north end of the loop by the lake is the best spots. 16, 17, and the others right by the lake. I’d avoid the spots closest to the highway, not because of the noise, but because they’re VERY sloped, kinda looked hard to set up there.
Pit toilets, so be prepared for that.
Bugs weren’t to bad honestly. We had a fire going and Thermacell so mosquitos didn’t bother us.
Moosehorn Lake is GORGEOUS. We didnt fish but we heard it was good fishing.
This site is maybe 1 mile up the road from Mirror Lake which is a must-see. Very easy walking trail around the lake, perfect for small kids
The site host was great, very helpful, nice person
It was PACKED tho. Every single spot was taken when we got there and we got lucky finding a spot for 2 nights. Try to get a reservation if you can. We only got in due to a last minute cancellation.
TRI-CROSS F.TravelerCedar Springs Campground
Great stay
Arrives at 6pm after long day of travel. Site 20 were the last 2 sites available on 2024 July 4th weekend. The camp is really full most of the season due to being close to the shower house in Deer Creek Campground, the lake and marina. The camp host is a great guy and wood is available.

Deer Run Campground
Showers and flushing toilets
This is the best campground in the area that we have found due to the hot showers and flushing toilets and great camp host. Bathrooms have lights, running water and electric plug-ins with vault toilets at sime points. Most sites have shade, and there are water points for drinking water throughout camp. There isn't any electric, water or sewer hookups and no wifi available. There are trash dumpsters close to the restrooms.

Jug Hollow Road - Dispersed Camp
ATVs Speedboats Dirt bikes generators
We spent this past Friday night at this dispersed campground. While the grounds are beautiful, it was extremely noisy with Harding going on all night by the Lakeshore. It was extremely noisy with all of the power equipment on and near the lake, including ATVs, generators, speed boats. If you were looking for peace and quiet, I would move away from the Lakeshore and Camp on the road going out. The road going out is quite rough and has about mile and a half of pretty bad washboard and is sandy in some spots as well

Was just driving til I found somewhere cool and this was it! Beautiful place but bugs were out so come prepared
Cortlan S.GuideSpring Creek Road Dispersed - Flaming Gorge
Great Waterfront Spots
Nice grassy spots, just pull in where ever you see a fire ring. The dirt road in isn’t too bad and is pretty short, there were plenty of sedans driving in so it’s accessible for most vehicles when the ground is dry. Lots of cows and cow poop so watch out if you bring dogs! I had full bars of LTE extended network on Verizon, enough to send texts, make calls, and could load some webpages but it was pretty slow

Sheep Creek Bay Boat Ramp and Campground
Great site ONLY of your there with a boat
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.

On the beach!
Dispersed beach camping, vault toilets, dumpsters, great views and direct access for swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding. Boats can be put in at marina and beached here. No trees or shade but a light constant breeze in jun when we visited

Remote Camping with Views
Upon initial set up we were thrilled. Great cell service, views, and can’t beat a fire and smores on the beach.
A couple of downsides. Lots of expansive soil. Impassable when wet. Our 2 wheel drive van got stuck in muck. Jeep pulled it out luckily. Open range means lots of cow pies. And remote camping without enforced WAG laws ( “waste alleviation and gelling,”) you will find human “pies” as well. Mix in dogs running around in rain….

Great location Super Clean
Fairly level gravel pads with electricity, water, and sewer. Wifi was a bonus. Super clean restroom, shower, and laundry facility. Pricey but worth it for us.
