Fishing enthusiasts and boaters will find Cedar Springs Campground positioned just minutes from Flaming Gorge's marina and boat launch. This US Forest Service campground sits at 6,100 feet elevation in Ashley National Forest, with paved interior roads accommodating RVs up to 62 feet. The forested setting provides cedar and pine trees throughout most sites, though shade can be limited in some areas.
Most sites work best for smaller rigs and tents, with only a handful suitable for larger RVs. The campground sits on sloped terrain, creating uneven sites that require leveling blocks for most setups. Several sites offer reservoir views from picnic tables, while others provide more privacy among the trees. "Site C offered a beautiful view of the reservoir from the picnic table," notes Terri D.. The camp host sells firewood on-site and maintains the facilities well.
Water access drives most visits here, with the marina within walking distance for shore fishing and boat rentals. Anglers catch fish and crawfish directly from the marina shoreline. The nearby Red Canyon trail offers hiking opportunities, and the free dam tour at Flaming Gorge provides educational value. Cell service reaches most sites, allowing campers to stay connected.
The campground operates from mid-May through mid-September, with reservations recommended during peak summer months. Water service can be intermittent early and late in the season, so campers should verify availability when booking. Vault toilets stay consistently clean according to reviews. The location provides easy access to both Green River fishing sections and Flaming Gorge recreational activities.
Campers wanting shower facilities can consider nearby Deer Run Campground, which offers more amenities just down the road.
