Sheep Creek Bay Boat Ramp and Campground

Within Ashley National Forest, Sheep Creek Bay Boat Ramp and Campground provides a no-frills camping option designed primarily for boaters accessing Flaming Gorge Reservoir. This US Forest Service facility operates from April through October, offering four to five RV sites with electric hookups on a paved parking area adjacent to the boat launch.

The campground occupies a sectioned portion of the larger boat ramp parking lot, accommodating RVs up to 45 feet on blacktop surfaces. Sites lack shade and water hookups, with restrooms and trash facilities located about 100 yards away at the main boat ramp. "This camp area is sectioned off of the very large sheep creek bay boat ramp parking," notes one reviewer, emphasizing the facility's utilitarian design. Cell service is reportedly limited in this location.

Campers arrive here primarily for immediate boat launch access rather than traditional camping amenities. The west-side reservoir location provides hiking opportunities into the surrounding forest, and continuing past the dam leads to cliff diving spots on the eastern shores. The $13 nightly fee ($6.50 for seniors) reflects the basic nature of the facilities.

Those seeking more traditional forest camping with shade and natural settings might consider Manns Campground nearby for a different experience.

A basic blacktop camping area adjacent to the boat ramp, highly valued by boaters for convenience but lacking traditional campground amenities. Many visitors appreciated the quiet atmosphere and proximity to water activities, though facilities are minimal with no water or dump stations.

Great site ONLY of your there with a boat

This is a sectioned off section ofr the parking lot at the boat ramp where 4ish rvs can park/camp. While the camping isn't much, it is right at the boat ramp/launch which is super convenient. There are toilets. Very little shade.

Big parking lot camping

This camp area is sectioned off of the very large sheep creek bay boat ramp parking. There are just 4-5 spots on blacktop for TTs and RVs, one tiny spot for a lone tenter. No shade and big toy hauler TTs seem to hog the area. $13/$6.50 senior, NO WATER no cell signal. Trash and toilets at boat ramp about 100yds away across the blacktop parking area. Unless you are a boat person, this blacktop cg area is not my idea of a cg. No RV dump either.

Beautiful area close to the resevoir.

It's hard to find a bad spot to camp at the reservoir and this campground is not an exception. The site we were in had plenty of shade and had a picnic table and a permanent fire ring.

This area is on the west side of the reservoir so you have plenty of hiking opportunities heading west up into the forests. If you continue on past the dam there is cliff diving at some boat docking sites on the east shores

Close to boat ramp

If you are in an RV with a boat and enjoy blacktop camping, this is the place to be. Close to the boat ramp, easy access. When we are with my elderly family who need to be stable we stay here. If we are just us and the kids and dogs we go stay at Dutch John.
