Camping in undeveloped areas must occurr within 150 feet of a designated route in Utah and within 300 feet of a designated route in Wyoming, at least 1/4 mile away from any administrative site, (boat ramps, guard stations, campgrounds, or visitor centers).

8. 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.

Spring Creek Road Dispersed - Flaming Gorge
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.

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

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.

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….

Favorite Spot So Far
I loved camping here. Easy enough drive on a dirt road for a couple miles. Really gorgeous area with lots of privacy. I pulled into the first spot I saw with a fire ring, but probably could have gotten closer to the water if I kept driving. A few other campers around, but plenty of space to spread out. The wake boarders made me wish I had a paddleboard or kayak. I left after running out of water, but will definitely be back.

Small turnoff right on the road
We didn't end up staying here because the fire pit was small, maybe six rocks. It's right on a ledge and you're barely off the road.
Not really enough space to feel comfortable with traffic coming through the monument.
Brian R.ScoutDispersed Camping Near Dinosaur National Monument
No trailers allowed
There is a sign at the beginning of the dirt road prohibiting trailers. I assume because if it rains the mud roads become unusable.

Water Front Camping
This is an awesome spot, came in the Saturday before Labor Day so it was pretty busy but I still found a nice spot right on the water. The road coming in has lots of cows and deer so be careful! Take 319 to get to this area, not 341, it’s now fenced off

Great location Great 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. The night sky was amazing for meteor showers.

Quiet and Dark by the Lake
Easy dirt road, pulled 34 foot toy hauler with no problem. Enough space to turn around at the end of the road. Very quiet at night, perfect for sleeping. Rock fire pits available. Very private. Slow internet with T-Mobile.

Go down to the water
Keep following the dirt road to get to a few spots by the water! I took my Kia Soul down the road and a Honda civic was parked there as well. Only a few spots but you can jump right in the water. Had full service with AT&T. Highly recommend!

Wonderful
Amazing views, water was great. There were lots of people around but we never felt crowded. We took our paddle boards our every day. The wind picked up in the afternoons, too hard to paddle, but we walked along the shore and found some lovely rocks. Fishing in the early morning was a win. Lots of nature, we’ll be back!!

Amazing spot!!!
Two of my friends and I stayed at this spot one night and I wish we had more time to spend at this spot because of the location, beauty, and remote feeling. Having a fire pit was great along with star gazing!
Samuel G.TravelerJug Hollow Road - Dispersed Camp
Camped on the beach surrounded by incredible views
There was not another single soul at this campsite while I was here. At the end of a peninsula into the flaming gorge reservoir, this spot is simply stunning. Huge spots and great views. Came in October and the temperature was much warmer than anticipated. Highly recommend.

Beautiful campsites next to a lake.
We stayed here while backpacking king's peak. It's the best camping spot to do so. It's a beautiful area and you have access to shade and water.

This is a great spot. Easy access from the main highway, lots of spots to camp right on the waters edge.

Fabulous views! Grimy campground
This campground sits right on the shore of Lake Flaming Gorge. The access road is dirt, with ruts and rocks. Tricky when wet. Scout before deciding to go down it. Camp ground has great cell coverage and stone fire rings but nothing else. Not much shade since, there are no trees. Sadly, bushes and thickets have been used as toilets and are downright gross! Wind off the lake can be furious. Try to find a spot further in, especially if you are tent camping. Generators tear through the silence of the night. Bring ear plugs! Hiking is great right out of the campground. Not sure if I’d come back. Although views and sun set are spectacular, everything else looks is not.

Kaler Hollow Campground - Ashley National Forest
Worse campground ever
This place is a wreck, crappy tables, uneven sites, not usable for travel trailers, tiny vault toilet with bullet holes in door, no reason to camp here, no water no trash, no cell signal. No one was here camping. Free but still no one there.

Oaks Park Campground - Ashley National Forest
Small crapped out CG
Small primitive campground. Free, 9 sites, #10 is a group site. One vault toilet, no water or trash. No cell signal. Most sites are small back in, but a few are pull thru for larger trailers. Group area #10:seems popular with horse groups so lots of horse poop and flies. Oak Park lake is a draw down water source below so was not very scenic. Long gravel FS roads to get here.
- Greg L.Legend
East Park Campground - Ashley National Forest
Nice small remote campground
This campground is at end of the FS #18 paved road and then .7 mi of gravel. There are 20 sites, $10/ $5 senior. No host on site. No cell signal, no water and no trash dumpsters. Two vault toilets present. The lake has a boat ramp but the water gets drawn down and there does not seem to be any nice beach area..plus cattle were on the shoreline. Two stars due to no water, no cell signal and cows on the shoreline.

Sheep Creek Bay Boat Ramp and Campground
Big parking lot camping
This camp area is sectioned off of the very large sheep creek bay boat ramp parking. There are just 4-5 spots on blacktop for TTs and RVs, one tiny spot for a lone tenter. No shade and big toy hauler TTs seem to hog the area. $13/$6.50 senior, NO WATER no cell signal. Trash and toilets at boat ramp about 100yds away across the blacktop parking area. Unless you are a boat person, this blacktop cg area is not my idea of a cg. No RV dump either.

Carmel Campground - Ashley National Forest
Nicest of the Sheep Creek CGs
This campground was a pleasant surprise after the lower sheep creek CGs, there are actual large trees for shade! 14 sites all FF, $13/$6.50 senior. No water or cell signal. Has vault toilets and trash dumpster. Sheep creek is close adjacent but there are fishing restrictions.

East Park Campground - Ashley National Forest
Nice campground but...
Nice CG, paved FS rd all the way except last 1/2 mile of gravel from FS rd #20. CG has 20 camp sites, no reservations. $10 nite, vault toilets but NO water or garbage. Boat ramp area is a bit rough. Lake has the bathtub look as it is drawn down. Biggest negative is NO cell service of any provider, hence the 4 stars. I saw no sign of any camp host or vendor running this cg

Hoop Lake
High Uinta Camping
A great, quiet campsite in the Northern Uintas. About 40 campsites, that are a mix of wooded and lakefront sites. No potable water available. Clean vault toilets available throughout the campground. Easy water access for kayaks and other small watercraft. Lots of ATV trails are nearby so there were quite a few ATVs around camp. About 40 minutes down a dirt road off the main road. Easily passable in any car. Past Hoop Lake the road gets rockier and sandier so higher clearance/4WD necessary.
