Cedar Springs Campground

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.

Beautiful spot close to marina partiers

Space 7 FF . $41 a night we had park pass so paid half. Dry camping but spigots throughout. We are in a pull behind cannot report on bathrooms.
We lucked out as this spot was reserved when we pulled up but occupants gone and reservation dates crossed out.
Camps spots here are very nicely spaced seems each spot had plenty of spave for kids pets to roam without intruding others.
level for trailers and tents. Though u have a view of gorge through breaks in trees the caveat is the party boats docked at marina down below. One boat owner was proudly show off their speakers. Maybe because it was memorial weekend but it was kind of a bummer to have our peaceful outdoor time ruined for two hours with very loud music. We aren’t in camp much as we like to explore but when we were at camp that was our experience. Other than that , after driving through a lot of the other camp grounds and dispersed camping this was our favorite. We had more trees, but didn’t block solar panels, privacy, and because of pavement for pull thru we won’t have any problems leaving as the dispersed camping roads were filled with tire ruts and I think people left early because of yesterdays rain (5/24). Camp host nice. Wood $10 a stack Marina with store nearby Hiking trails in area I think this campground is the closest to the dam. I would stay here again in this site. it was close to bathroom and spigot but very little traffic.
It does have fire ring and picnic table There is a rocky trail down to water near marina area but the last 20 feet or so is a scramble so I wouldn’t carry chairs and drinks unless your a goat or confident in your bouldering skills.
5 stars campground 4 for noise but not campgrounds fault

Great find

Tent campers here. The site was big, the campground definitely geared more towards TTa and RVs, but we survived uneven spots and elusive shade. I'd give this place 4, reserving 5 for only the best, but don't get me wrong this one is good . Not sure I'd drink the water, standard vault toilets were clean and stocked, camp host friendly and helpful, firewood for sale at site for a reasonable price, proximity to lake and some sites have a view. Red canyon trail is a must-do, bring a camera!

Clean, Quiet and Our 43’er Fit

Nice National Forest campground with paved interior roads and sites. Most sites have privacy. We never use the facilities. We drove in from Green River on I-80 taking 530 to Manila, then 44 to 191 north to Cedar Springs Campground. 6100’ in elevation. 44 has very very long pulls and is very windy but we were not concerned about our 70’ length. We did not encounter any unpaved roads on our route. Nor was the part of 191 we traveled unpaved. We stayed here for three nights having met my brother and wife, renting a pontoon boat for one day on the lake and enjoyed the views. Site 12 lists a 35’ maximum length and it took us two tries to get in while gathering a crowd. But we fit with a few feet to spare parking our tow vehicle down by the camp host. This might have been one of three sites that we would have fit. Some sites have a view of the lake. It is a short drive to the marina and a few more miles to Dutch John the closest store. Bring all your food because you definitely pay for the cost of delivery to the Dutch John convenience store. Don’t miss Red Canyon Overlook (40.8939814, -109.5641603) and check out the campgrounds nearby for other stays.

Great stay

Arrives 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.

Great views and private sites

This campground is located right up the road from the marina. Loved being able to be close to the water but have such a private, wooded site. Can be busy and would recommend a reservation vs walk-in.

Basic campground

Clean sites, very overpaved. Picnic tables, firepits, pit toilets. Firewood sold by host $7/bundle. $24/night single site. The campground is kind of on a cliff overlooking the water but there really isn’t any good view or way down to the water. Very pretty sunset.

Fun place to stay close to Flaming Gorge/Green River.

We stayed here on a scout camp out for a couple of days we stayed in a group sight # 10 and it had 2 picnic tables and offered lots of room. We had 6 tents set up and there was still lots of room. There was plenty of parking we had at one time 2 cars a big van and my truck and drift boat and had no trouble with parking in the double spot.  We were right next to the camp host and next to the bathrooms with running water and hot showers.

The campground is a short walk or drive to the marina. We caught lots of fish and crawfish from the shore at the marina and the kids all had fun.

The camp sight has lots of Cider trees, and pine trees and amazing views. Amazing sunset and sunrises as well. There is running water for RV and lots of room. It wasn't full in June and there were still lots of places to camp.

This is in a great location if you are going fishing in the Green river or on Flaming Gorge. We were only 10 minutes to the put in of the A section and within walking distant to the marina for Flaming Gorge. We did the free dam tour it is a must see if in the area. You are only a couple of minutes drive to Flaming Gorge Lodge if need a hot meal or fishing equipment they have a great fly shop, store, and cafe. If you forget any food items like ketchup they sell everything at good pricey. Plus it's a great place to get more ice and a coke.

Fire pits with a nice heavy grill on them. We used it to cook steaks and they were excellent. Also helpful when we cooked crawfish one night. The camp host sells firewood if needed. I was able to try out my new Grubsticks and made some awesome s'mores #grubstick, #Ilovemynewgrubsticks, #bestsmoresever.

Beautiful in May, But Meager Services

We are traveling in Scoop our 26' travel trailer. We like rustic campgrounds, but expect to get the services as listed on campground websites. Cedar Springs in a National Forest Campground run by a third party concessionaire. The website said the campground was open and offered vault toilets, water spigots and a dump station. We were going to need a dump station visit so chose this campground over many of the others available in the area. Cedar Spring also has good reviews online.

Upon arrival the campground was about half full, but no water was on yet, the dump station was closed, the camp host had set up, but was not present and the vault toilet cleaning logs said baths had not been cleaned for 6 days. We stayed even though the rate for basically no services was $23. We had stayed the previous night at a forest service campground in the Black Hills that had cleaned baths and spigots that worked for only $10. This campground needs to offer a lesser cost for off-season level of services.

Gripping over, site C offered a beautiful view of the reservoir from the picnic table. Most sites are best for smaller rigs, tent trailers and tents. There were only 4-5 sites that would accommodate our 26' trailer. Because the campground is on the side of a hill, sites are pretty unlevel, but we were able to adapt. Cell signal was good here and we were able to pick up 10 TV stations with our antenna. If you have a dog, watch for burrs, there are some nasty ones.
