Very clean and quiet. Curious and kind staff. I called in the afternoon and they good me a spot for me to camp in my prius. Thank you and I'd camp here again.
Traveler
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.
TravelerOur family loves Dinosaur National Monument and the Green River Campground, amazing campsites close to the green river are clean and the rangers are top notch and super friendly, we love the petroglyphs and the kids love the Jr. Ranger Program.
Guide
fantastic campground in utah, the campsites are all in great condition. the road is showing some wear once you get off the highway but it's not bad.
winds set in and you get to enjoy the sound of the trees.
Scout
We loved camping here, but the parties at the lake and car alarms going off were annoying.
Scout
We have stayed at many campsites here and love them all! We love the views, the campsites, and how peaceful it is.
Scout
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.
Guide
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.
Traveler
I drove further down the road slightly over the utah border and it was silent and serene with beautiful views. All the spots available on this road were gorgeous.
GuideOur 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!
Guide
We stayed on 918, which is technically no camping. We moved after 2 nights to the spot behind pictures of the sign. It was really nice, some traffic though. Zero Verizon signal, just sos mode.
TravelerIt’s not allowed to camp here anymore
Traveler
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.
Guide
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!
Ranger
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.
Legend
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.
TravelerJust randomly driving thru Colorado and run into Dinasaur and a peaceful off grid place to camp. No one around. No one else on the planet. Great place to stop.
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
Legend
This is a primitive camping area by Sheep Creek Lake. No amenities, no established campsites, no toilets, no garbage dumpsters, no water, no cell signal. Road access is gravel graved. A primitive boat ramp is available. This lake seems to be more of a Fish and Game nursery lake for raising Colo River Trout.
Guide
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.
TravelerArrives 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.
Traveler
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.
Scout
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
Traveler
Was just driving til I found somewhere cool and this was it! Beautiful place but bugs were out so come prepared
GuideNice 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
TravelerOff CR16 easy to find. I just saw a couple of spots at the gps point. The view is beautiful and it’s quiet but windy. We’re the only ones here.
Scout
Yes this is my own spot but my family and used it for 2 years before offering it to the public. We’ve made tons of upgrades this year and have loved going out there every time.
