ScoutGoogle maps took us up a dirt road, must have a high clearance vehicle way. We still arrived, but at 5-10 mph. If Google maps asks you to leave a nice gravel road on your way here, dont do it lol. Campground very nice with newer pit toliets (bring your own TP). View is amazing of the reservoir and surrounding mountains.
TravelerIt was kinda crazy, it is in between two small towns. It cost $10, there are only three campsights, one big one and two small ones. I am sure it is just a quick stop camp to your next destination. There are tables, fire pits, walking distance to river. The river it less then a block away. You have tk haul your own trash and bring your own water. Other than that it is a nice place to stop. There are stores that are close to the camp area.
TravelerWe went a bit further than the recommended spot, just to sight see but actually found a spot that is a campsite in summer, and is now open spots. We parked 200 feet from the edge of the water. The spot came with a fire pit and picnic table.
ScoutThe office was closed for the weekend but there were plenty of sites. The directions left were for those who had made online reservations to just choose a site. By night time it was probably 3/4’s full. Gravel sites were pretty level and electric was no problem. The restroom could have used more cleaning but not bad and plenty of hot water. Everything just seemed kind of dated. This was the fall and there were plenty of trees which I’m sure would be appreciated in the summer.
RangerWell-spaced sites in a spectacular setting. The campground was sparsely populated on a Monday in September, making it feel especially peaceful and spacious. Facilities were clean, and both sunset and sunrise were stunning. Pronghorns played in the nearby fields. Dark sky gave us the Milky Way. We loved it here and wished we could have stayed longer than one night. It also made a great base for exploring the Flaming Gorge area, including the phenomenal Red Canyon Overlook. Highly recommend.
TravelerWow. A very quiet connection to nature. I had only one neighbor . Plenty of room to spread out. I recommend exploring before you pick a spot. I was near the muddy part of the river but moved southwest and found a spot with a rocky beach . Much easier access to the water.seems like the raid could easily wash out in a big rain but I was lucky. There are plentiful 4 wheeler trails so I assume it might get busy/ noisy sometimes.
ScoutThey were super kind and let me fill up my water tanks! They have a restaurant too that I’ll have to come back and try!
TravelerIt had rained so it was a little slick but not bad, we could not find any designated camp sites so we just found a level place. It was very quiet, we only seen one ORV the whole time we were there. Awesome views.
