GuideSmall but Perfect
I always stay at Greendale Family CG when visiting Flaming Gorge area because there is a store, gas station and restaurant within walking distance.
LegendNice small CG in the pines
This cg is very nice, only 8 sites and every other one is either reserved or FF. No water but vault toilets are open. Dusty dirt road adjacent to the CG that goes to a over RV park may be an issue for sites close to that side. Dumpster on site. Cell signal good. Only 4 stars due to water system not working, otherwise 5 stars. Not close to any water for boating though. NOTE that the Greendale Group Campground is across the hwy and is a different camp unit from this Greendale Campground which is all single family sites

GuideEssential National Forest Camping
Visited this campsite in the Summer of 2020 many times and am just getting around to reviewing it - I almost didn’t want to because I want to keep its secrets all to myself! Sometimes we would just come here to hang out because the space is so nice.
Actual campsites are great, there’s tons of room between them and each space is allotted its own privacy. On two occasions, we saw an elk and a coyote, which was very cool.
Campground is very close to Vernal, where we stayed for a duration of the summer, so I highly recommend this campsite to anyone in the area.
