Beautiful

I have been coming here since I was a little girl. This area is beautiful and the river is just right next to the campground. It has 2 bathroom facilities that were ehh just ok for me. Each unit has its own firepit and picnic table. The road is graveled or well packed as is each unit. Lots of trees.Rvs and tents alike can stay here. If you drive up on past the campground to the end of the road there is a nice lil trail that takes you to an open area for a lil better fishing. Remember your worms!

Good Fishing!

This is a very nice get away spot about an 75 minutes outside of Vernal Utah. I have camped at this campground several times and it is always an enjoyable experience. The sites cannot be reserved. It is first come first serve. The road to the campsite is well maintained. The campsite itself is nestled in the pines with craggy mountains all around it. The best part about this campground is the fishing. If you get one of the sites towards the back of the campground the creek runs right by it and fishing for pan size trout is a blast. The sites themselves are well maintained with a lot of open space between the sites.
