This was a great place for us to put a group together. The sites could accommodate trailers over 40ft with ease. We had easy access to some of the OHV trails in the area but had to drive to some of the main ones back near Vernal. The clubhouse was nice and clean, and the sites were great. We had one of the premium sites that was right along the river, and it was a gorgeous view. The sites were deep and wide and we had no problem backing into the site. It fit our trailer, truck, and SxS vehicles. There isn't much shade at all since the RV resort is new and still growing trees.
The biggest complaint that I had about the sites was the taste of the water. We had to buy bottled water because we couldn't stand the taste of the tap water even though it went through a filter.
Guide
This is a great recreation area close to the town of Vernal, about 5 miles out. There is a lake for fishing, swimming and water sports. There is a nice beach with pavilions and picnic sites. The campground has full hook up spots, Electrical, a cabin you can rent and tent sites. There is a great group site that gives you access to the water and has a covered pavilion. There are many walking trails and atv trails accessible from this campground.
Guide
$55/ night for full hook up. Has showers and laundry, Wi-Fi. Sites are very close together. Pretty good amount of shade. Close to a lot of local sites.
TravelerThis RV park is defunct. However we did pull in and spend the night here and nobody bothered us. Obviously no hook ups or water or anything. Kind of a creepy deserted Ex-RV park.
GuideWe 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!
GuideThis is a great, clean RV park in Vernal. The location is 25 minutes or so to the Dinosaur National Monument. There are so many other things to do in Vernal. We needed more time here.

Smaller cg than cedar springs. Has a shower house..however NO WATER as of 6-2021 so showers closed. Vault toilets still open, dumpsters. No hookups for RVs, no rv dump.
Traveler
I arrived here around 7:50pm . There were a lot of empty spaces to camp but the old & grumpy guy didn’t allowed me to camp here.
I wouldn’t recommend it. Go to “Fossil Valley Rv park & self . It’s like 6min away.

This small single site CG is across hwy from the greendale group site. $25/12.50 senior, 8 sites, only three sites are FCFS, rest are reservable. One older vault toilet, one water spigot, one dumpster. Issues are the busy gravdl road to the pvt RV park and the hwy noise.
GuideThis RV Park has very nice big shade trees and lots of grass. If you get a space towards the back of the Park the road noise mentioned by others isn’t an issue. The spaces are close together or I would rate this a five! We were in Space 45 on the end so were able to take advantage of the parks edge and watched some kids soccer games!
Traveler
We stayed at the Red Canyon RV Park which had 2 tent sites. The tent sites were huge compared to other tent sites we have been to. There was a water faucet right by our site along with picnic tables and a firepit. We had an extra car and tent join us at no extra cost. View was great. The site is right by the highway though - we slept great with ear plugs in, but could be a little loud otherwise. The bathrooms were great too, and just a 15 min drive from Bryce Canyon.
LegendThis cg is very nice, only 8 sites and every other one is either reserved or FF. No water but vault toilets are open. Dusty dirt road adjacent to the CG that goes to a over RV park may be an issue for sites close to that side. Dumpster on site. Cell signal good. Only 4 stars due to water system not working, otherwise 5 stars. Not close to any water for boating though. NOTE that the Greendale Group Campground is across the hwy and is a different camp unit from this Greendale Campground which is all single family sites
Traveler
19 tent & RV sites. One site is ADA accessible. A bit buggy so bring the bug spray. This is the perfect place to stay prior to your Gates of Lodore river trip put in. No cell service that I remember & it's a long drive from "civilization" so make sure your car is filled with gas, is in good repair & that you have all the items you'd need for your trip. Vault toilets & water spiggot are great to have to fill up water jugs prior to rafting. No electric, sewer or water hook ups for RVs. No reservations so it's 1st come, 1st served. They have bear proof containers for anything with a scent. No trash containers so pack everything out. Only cash & checks accepted so bring $10 (although discounts for Seniors & when water is not available at the campsite).
Legend
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
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.
Guide
This campground has large RV spots and there are 140 of them. 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. This is one of those places I will never forget because it’s so pretty. Also, the bathrooms (flush toilets only) are super clean. Sites have electricity and water is available.
Legend
Outlaw trail is located right off the highway. It contains a large paved parking lot for RVs and a smaller grassy area for tents. The only trees are located in the grassy area. There is a playground, volleyball net, basketball court, a bathroom, and a single fire pit. It does look as if the RV side has permanent residence?

We stayed three nights at the Antelope Flat Campground on the east shore of Flaming Gorge. The campground itself is a bit dated, but we were OK with it. Seems to be best for tent camping, there are RV spots available but without hook ups. There is a dump station. Tent sites are well kept and well maintained. We met the camp hosts for 2019, they were a very nice older couple. Seems like the wife maintains the bathrooms with flush toilets. Super clean! And her husband maintains the sites. All sites and fire rings were clean and free of weeds and debris. He worked everyday we were there on a new site. Kudos to them! Campground had super easy access to the boat ramp where we launched our kayak. Great spot to launch. Also it can get very windy!!!!!
Guide
Great Area for camping and hunting. Seen elk and deer pass through here. Many ATV trails. A couple bathroom facilities, picnic tables, a couple group fire pitsm room for RVs and Tents.
GuideSpent one night here. The staff was really friendly and it's a very well maintained camp. The showers and bathrooms were spotless, and the dumpsters were very convenient. I ended up at a full hookup spot that cost $50 a night. I believe there are $30 options available as well. On the pricier side, but worth it. I believe they offer weekly discounts. I'm going to look into this if in the area again.

This city operated RV/ Camping Park in Rangely, Colorado is an excellent city managed spot to spend the night or several days. The park offers electric sites for $20.00 a night or $10.00 a night for no electricity. Water spigots are located all around the park and there is a dump station on site. Numerous giant Cottonwood trees provide a lot of shade for the park. Located just outside of Rangely, everything you need is just minutes away.
City Parks and Rec staff frequent the property and are friendly and willing to help anyone in need.
There is restroom facilities and showers on site.
Dinosaur National Monument is only 30 minutes away and east of town is Kenney Reservoir is just minutes east of town and offers fishing, swimming and boating.
Make sure to visit the “Tower” on the west side of town. It is a converted, 3 story, water tank that is now a recording/ sound studio.
The acoustics of the tower is definitely something you should experience!
We stayed here four nights with our 32 foot fifth wheel and there is several spots to fit that and our truck. Lots of space for tent camping on grass.
Highly recommend Rangely Camp Park!
GuideWe hadn't done much research in this area and hadn't planned where to go so we decided to "glamp" at the KOA. For a KOA this was pretty nice. Restrooms were clean. Lots of activities for children. It was expensive for close together sites and only electric and water hookups. We did have a nice shade tree however and were able to run our A/C. The proximity to Dinosaur National Monument was the reason we stayed 2 nights. We explored the Utah part of the Monument (where the dinosaurs are) and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the quarry, petroglyphs and cabin.
LegendThis campground is only a few blocks from downtown Vernal, but out of town enough for a rural feel. Some highway noise, but quiets down by nightfall. This campground had a good feel to it IMO. Not super large, but almost all the sites were pull through. I requested a spot by the bathroom/shower building & we got a patio site. Very nice site with a propane grill provided.
There are 3 bathroom/showers in the campground. One in the office building, one by the pool & one by the tent section. Bathrooms were clean. I used the laundry room without issues.
They had a couple of tipis, a woody tent (don't know what that is). 15 tent sites & cabins. The RV sites were basic KOA.- in a row & kind of close. We had no issues with WIFI. Staff was courteous& they had a lot of area information. I especially liked the day trips that were numbered. We camped at Vernal/ Dinosaurland KOA Holiday in a Travel Trailer.
Guide
We did a small backpacking trip from the Greendale Overlook on highway 40 to the Canyon Rim campground for the night. The hike was beautiful, crossing creeks and surrounded by ponderosa pines. It's about 4.5 miles one way.
Canyon Rim Campground is beautiful, also surrounded by ponderosa and aspen, and with a beautiful overlook of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. There are specific sites for tent camping, and plenty of RV spots. Each spot has tables and fire rings. There are vault toilets.
Our only complaint is that all of the water to the campground was shut off! No signs warning that there was no water available. This was actually awful as we had backpacked in with our dogs (who at this point were very thirsty), and brought dehydrated food that required water to make. Luckily, Red Canyon Lodge is located about a mile away. We were able to hike over and buy water. 16 small bottles of water for like 45 dollars...not ideal.
LegendVernal Dinosoar Koa seems like it has a TON of spots crammed into a small are but all of them have green grass, picnic tables, and grills. Some sites have covered awnings some have large shade trees. What I liked about this campground were all the activity options they gave you, unlike some other KOA's I've stayed at. There was a small but functional K-9 park, a kids park, a swimming pool, a jump pad, and they had bike/3 wheeler rentals, and a mini golf coarse. They had a covered patio off of the pool building with picnic tables for use and just on the other side of the jump pad and kids playground they had a HUGE grassy field that you could go throw frisbees on or even fly a kite. They had spots for small RV, Very Large RVs, One special site that came with cable tv, and numerous cabins for rent. If your looking for something just off of the town in Vernal, So you can visit all the great dinosaur attractions, this would be the place. They did have a small store with firewood, some sundries, and tourist gifts. They also have 2 dump stations for $10 a use out front.
TravelerWe just got back from a weekend RV camping at Canyon Rim campground in Flaming Gorge UT. We absolutely LOVED it! Quite, peaceful, well maintained, new fire pits, very clean toilets. A herd of big horn sheep just meander through the site super close but they are non threatening, seem to be used to people, not bothered at all. It was so cool! Sites are well spaced and there are a few that are set back (#10) which is a GEM if you don't want to be near anyone. The Canyon rim trail runs through the CS, just jump on and its about 1 mile to the Red Canyon Visitor Center. It was closed but still gorgeous views. We had an extremely windy day and spent most of the day in the RV, kids wandered around the campsite looking for "cool rocks" which there are ALOT of! I'm guessing it gets quite windy in most areas of Flaming Gorge in general. We'd go back for sure! Temperature was really comfortable between 45 at night and 75/80 during the day.
LegendLargest developed CG on westside of flaming gorge. Several loops for TTs/TVs and tent campers. Electric hookups sites also. Water, trash, restrooms, showers. Lots of staff maintenance activity around. Not my style of camping but families will like it and RVs that need electric will like it. $31 electric sites, $22 no electric sites. Water, trash restrooms, showers.
Vernal, Utah, offers a fantastic array of RV camping options, perfect for those looking to explore the stunning landscapes and attractions in the area.
