From the Henry Fork Trailhead (approx. 9400 feet elev.) the trail gains very little elevation during the first 5.5 miles with several lakes to camp by along the way. The first lake reached is Alligator Lake. At just under 3 miles from the trailhead, this beautiful lake is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a nice, easy introduction to the altitude and rigors of backpacking. After passing Alligator Lake the trail continues on the Henry's Fork Trail for another 3 miles. At this point, you'll reach a trail junction known as ElkHorn Crossing.
You can take the trail heading due south. This trail is the most direct route. After 2 miles, it will pass by the most popular lake in the area, Dollar Lake, which has a numbers of excellent established campsites near by.
This campground is convenient to boat ramp with four sites on asphalt.
This timbered campground is popular for the local fishing and is close to the lake. This campground has no water available

The southern part includes colorful, narrow canyons, and conifer forests; the northern part is surrounded by high sagebrush deserts and rock mesas. Campgrounds, lodges, marinas, boat launches, swimming beaches, fishing areas, and hiking/ski trails are available along the 360 miles of shoreline and tucked into mountain retreats. Close at hand are the quaint communities of Manila, Green River, and Dutch John, which have accommodations and other services.

We’re here in mid September and only two other campers. Got a spot right in the edge of the water. Very private could not see or hear anyone else. Beautiful, clean camping area. The campground on the tip of the little peninsula was available and surround by water on three sides was available, but a little windy. Our selected spot was more secluded but still right on the waters edge.

We spent this past Friday night at this dispersed campground. While the grounds are beautiful, it was extremely noisy with Harding going on all night by the Lakeshore. It was extremely noisy with all of the power equipment on and near the lake, including ATVs, generators, speed boats. If you were looking for peace and quiet, I would move away from the Lakeshore and Camp on the road going out. The road going out is quite rough and has about mile and a half of pretty bad washboard and is sandy in some spots as well
GuideNice grassy spots, just pull in where ever you see a fire ring. The dirt road in isn’t too bad and is pretty short, there were plenty of sedans driving in so it’s accessible for most vehicles when the ground is dry. Lots of cows and cow poop so watch out if you bring dogs! I had full bars of LTE extended network on Verizon, enough to send texts, make calls, and could load some webpages but it was pretty slow
Ranger
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.
TravelerUpon initial set up we were thrilled. Great cell service, views, and can’t beat a fire and smores on the beach.
A couple of downsides. Lots of expansive soil. Impassable when wet. Our 2 wheel drive van got stuck in muck. Jeep pulled it out luckily. Open range means lots of cow pies. And remote camping without enforced WAG laws ( “waste alleviation and gelling,”) you will find human “pies” as well. Mix in dogs running around in rain….
GuideI loved camping here. Easy enough drive on a dirt road for a couple miles. Really gorgeous area with lots of privacy. I pulled into the first spot I saw with a fire ring, but probably could have gotten closer to the water if I kept driving. A few other campers around, but plenty of space to spread out. The wake boarders made me wish I had a paddleboard or kayak. I left after running out of water, but will definitely be back.
GuideThis is an awesome spot, came in the Saturday before Labor Day so it was pretty busy but I still found a nice spot right on the water. The road coming in has lots of cows and deer so be careful! Take 319 to get to this area, not 341, it’s now fenced off
Ranger
Minutes away from lots of activities. This campground is secluded in Ashley National Forest with tons to do. From hiking to fishing to playing in the Gorge you’ll enjoy this location day and night. The night sky was amazing for meteor showers.
TravelerEasy dirt road, pulled 34 foot toy hauler with no problem. Enough space to turn around at the end of the road. Very quiet at night, perfect for sleeping. Rock fire pits available. Very private. Slow internet with T-Mobile.
ScoutKeep following the dirt road to get to a few spots by the water! I took my Kia Soul down the road and a Honda civic was parked there as well. Only a few spots but you can jump right in the water. Had full service with AT&T. Highly recommend!
TravelerAmazing views, water was great. There were lots of people around but we never felt crowded. We took our paddle boards our every day. The wind picked up in the afternoons, too hard to paddle, but we walked along the shore and found some lovely rocks. Fishing in the early morning was a win. Lots of nature, we’ll be back!!
TravelerThere was not another single soul at this campsite while I was here. At the end of a peninsula into the flaming gorge reservoir, this spot is simply stunning. Huge spots and great views. Came in October and the temperature was much warmer than anticipated. Highly recommend.

We stayed here while backpacking king's peak. It's the best camping spot to do so. It's a beautiful area and you have access to shade and water.
GuideThis is a great spot. Easy access from the main highway, lots of spots to camp right on the waters edge.
GuideThis campground sits right on the shore of Lake Flaming Gorge. The access road is dirt, with ruts and rocks. Tricky when wet. Scout before deciding to go down it. Camp ground has great cell coverage and stone fire rings but nothing else. Not much shade since, there are no trees. Sadly, bushes and thickets have been used as toilets and are downright gross! Wind off the lake can be furious. Try to find a spot further in, especially if you are tent camping. Generators tear through the silence of the night. Bring ear plugs! Hiking is great right out of the campground. Not sure if I’d come back. Although views and sun set are spectacular, everything else looks is not.
Legend
This place is a wreck, crappy tables, uneven sites, not usable for travel trailers, tiny vault toilet with bullet holes in door, no reason to camp here, no water no trash, no cell signal. No one was here camping. Free but still no one there.
Legend
Small primitive campground. Free, 9 sites, #10 is a group site. One vault toilet, no water or trash. No cell signal. Most sites are small back in, but a few are pull thru for larger trailers. Group area #10:seems popular with horse groups so lots of horse poop and flies. Oak Park lake is a draw down water source below so was not very scenic. Long gravel FS roads to get here.
Legend
This campground is at end of the FS #18 paved road and then .7 mi of gravel. There are 20 sites, $10/ $5 senior. No host on site. No cell signal, no water and no trash dumpsters. Two vault toilets present. The lake has a boat ramp but the water gets drawn down and there does not seem to be any nice beach area..plus cattle were on the shoreline. Two stars due to no water, no cell signal and cows on the shoreline.
LegendThis 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.
LegendThis campground was a pleasant surprise after the lower sheep creek CGs, there are actual large trees for shade! 14 sites all FF, $13/$6.50 senior. No water or cell signal. Has vault toilets and trash dumpster. Sheep creek is close adjacent but there are fishing restrictions.
LegendNice CG, paved FS rd all the way except last 1/2 mile of gravel from FS rd #20. CG has 20 camp sites, no reservations. $10 nite, vault toilets but NO water or garbage. Boat ramp area is a bit rough. Lake has the bathtub look as it is drawn down. Biggest negative is NO cell service of any provider, hence the 4 stars. I saw no sign of any camp host or vendor running this cg
Guide
I love camping here because of all of the available spaces, also the trails for hiking are amazing and there are so many options. We hiked up to Ruth Lake and had a picnic there, we saw a lot of people going up that way who were backpacking.
Ranger
Loved this place will definitely go back. Spacious and not too crowded. Lots of hiking spots!
RangerI have backpacked in the Uintas for several years and have driven past this lake many times, but never stayed there. I am glad we did.
The good:
The not so good:
Scout
A great, quiet campsite in the Northern Uintas. About 40 campsites, that are a mix of wooded and lakefront sites. No potable water available. Clean vault toilets available throughout the campground. Easy water access for kayaks and other small watercraft. Lots of ATV trails are nearby so there were quite a few ATVs around camp. About 40 minutes down a dirt road off the main road. Easily passable in any car. Past Hoop Lake the road gets rockier and sandier so higher clearance/4WD necessary.
GuideMirror Lake is one of my all time favorite camp areas. The designated camp sites are nice but the dispersed camping down the trails are even more beautiful, while close to the rest of the camps, that true feeling of isolation can be achieved. I would recommend mid July-September as the ideal times to camp here. We actually had a local join our camp one night who brought a drum, a flute, and a didgeridoo. It was transcendent.
ScoutThis is an absolutely amazing place. Sits in the heart of the Uintas with the perfect view, unfortunately everyone knows its the best and very difficult to find a spot. Online reservations fill up 6 months in advance, the day they are available and drive ups are tough to find.
