Aspen (UT)

We stayed here during Memorial Day weekend 2023, it was a complete wash out but totally worth it. We had reserved a site in the middle of the campground and didn't like the lack of privacy or proximity to the bathroom, so we ended up moving to site 25 which was FCFC. That site was perfect. It was large and the river ran right behind it. The bathroom was a bit of walk though. 

There was no hosts, so we did have to drive a bit to get firewood, but other than that we really liked the camp ground. 

The bathrooms were kind of gross and smelly, but not the worst I've seen.

Great views of steep cliffs on Lighting Ridge.

Many individual sites have great shade front the trees. However, the group site has little. Also, at the time I camped, the water fill station was contaminated, so you had to pack in all you water. There is no nearby dump station. However, their are a lot of great things about this campground. The nearby river is great, and we had a lot of deer we saw nearby.

Aspen Campground is a beautiful little campground up Forest Road 144 (just east of Wolf Creek Pass, just before Hannah, UT). There are several reservable sites at Aspen, many of which border the Duchesne River. There is a fence between the campground and the river with a couple access points that can be a little tricky to find since the vegetation is rather thick. 

All of the sites have picnic tables and fire pit with plenty of adequate space for large tents. The sites are spread out fairly well, and the thickness of the trees helps to separate the sites even more. All in all, the campground is quiet and quaint, with a gorgeous view of the cliffside to the west.
