Wonderful!

   We did a drive through. I don't know who laid this campground out, but they knew what they were doing! We were blown away by the beautiful, well spaced sites. 

   No utilities, but drinking water in the summer. I would probably fill up before coming in. Flush toilets, but no showers. There are several paths from all directions leading to the bathrooms. 

    There's 3 loops. All of them have very good sites. If you have a big rig, ask about the site length. Loop B I wrote down 42/50/52/53. Loop A 14/15 & the best IMO was site 22. Great view of the water at Flaming Gorge. 

    They take reservations, but by phone only. There's some first come first serve sites, but I wouldn't take a chance on not getting in. If you don't get one of the sites I mentioned, don't fret. I don't think we saw a bad site in the place! We visited Firefighters Memorial Campground, no overnight stay

Large Campground-weird design

Large updated CG. Three loops, Loop A and Loop C are all fully reservation only. loop B is all FF only. Multiple hosts onsite. Most sites seem a bit small and short to my eyes, more for drive in cars, vans and smaller RVs. The design feature that I could strange is every site has a built up 6" side curbs...and those that have trouble backing up a TT are going to be challenged keeping it between the curbs. Note that the water system was not functioning as of 6-2021 and that means all the flush Restrooms and the RV dump are closed. Welcome to portapotties for restrooms...ugh. Firefighters Memorial Trail off end of the C loop. Trash dumpsters scattered around. Cell signal good.

Great sites in an amazing location

We only spent one night at Firefighters but I am sure we will be back. There were no hookups but the sites were paved and reasonably level. Ours backed up to the gorge. Very peaceful and the Flaming Gorge area in general is a natural wonder.

Great view of Flaming Gorge

A nice clean & quite campground with a great view of Flaming Gorge from the site we stayed at. Flush toilets, no showers, & no electricity but did have access to running water. Flaming Gorge resort less than five minutes away with restaurant, general store, & sporting goods available.

Awesome!!

Our stay at Firefighter Memorial Campground was wonderful. The camp hosts we're always very friendly and very helpful. The bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. They did not have showers; however you could go to the Deer Run campground located at the Cedar Springs turn off and have a complimentary shower there. The scenery was beautiful. The weather was great; much better than Antelope Flat where we spent one night. The campsites were well laid out. I absolutely loved the fire rings at the sites. It was very quiet at night. We would definitely stay here again!

Hot

Well maintained campground with bear canyon hiking trail and bootleg amphitheater across the road. Toilets and water spigots are available. They also have a dump site for trailers. There are both RV sites and tent sites with fire pits and a picnic table. The trees in this campground aren't very big so it doesn't offer much shade so bring an awning of some sort. Right off the highway so you can hear the traffic. There is a camp host who sales firewood if you forget to bring you own
