"No potable water available. Clean vault toilets available throughout the campground. Easy water access for kayaks and other small watercraft."
"There are numerous places to camp along the trail just remember to follow the minimum distance rules from trails and water bodies so you can help make others' trips as serene as yours."
"Going to Big meadow or Dahlgreen trail? Better have a compass sine the trail is poorly marked! Still beautiful!"
"Camparea review:This area is located a little over 8 miles from the parking area. It is walk or horse ride in only."
"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."
"Fishing is close by as well as a short hike to smokey springs. Firepits along with a group fire pit, 2 well maintained bathrooms, picnic tables, and wildlife."
"My culinary school I recently graduated from decided to go here to set up temporary roasting pit and roast an entire pig. Yes you heard right."
"Spent 3 nights at Little Lyman Lake to get out of the Heat. This is a wonderful campground with 6 small RV campsites and 4 tent sites. Sites 2, 3, 8 and 10 are pull thru."
"Road is a little ruff coming from the west, but coming in from the north through Wyoming is way easier on the vehicle. It takes me about an hour longer, but it is worth it."
"My site was very large, right where the fire road (more a trail really) seemed to split in two directions."
"Well spaced sites, very private . Various sites to choose from, whether it’s more wooded or open area. Didn’t have anyone pass me through out my 2 nights there, I went for 4th of July weekend."
"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."
"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."
$10 / night
"Almost every spot along the river was taken, but once you were in your camp you could hardly tell neighbors were around."
GuideWe did a small backpacking trip from the Greendale Overlook on highway 40 to the Canyon Rim campground for the night. The hike was beautiful, crossing creeks and surrounded by ponderosa pines. It's about 4.5 miles one way.
Canyon Rim Campground is beautiful, also surrounded by ponderosa and aspen, and with a beautiful overlook of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. There are specific sites for tent camping, and plenty of RV spots. Each spot has tables and fire rings. There are vault toilets.
Our only complaint is that all of the water to the campground was shut off! No signs warning that there was no water available. This was actually awful as we had backpacked in with our dogs (who at this point were very thirsty), and brought dehydrated food that required water to make. Luckily, Red Canyon Lodge is located about a mile away. We were able to hike over and buy water. 16 small bottles of water for like 45 dollars...not ideal.
TravelerOur site was a pull-thru that accommodated our 32 ft truck/trailer combo with just enough space for an additional vehicle. The pull-thru was nearly level. The site provided enough space for a tent nicely nestled among the trees. A picnic table and fire ring were on site. Well maintained vault toilets and a potable water spigot were a short distance from the site. Numerous trees provided some shelter from the wind and made the site private. A few steps toward the back of the site offered a gorgeous view of the reservoir.
GuideSuch a beautiful site with site #7 the best access to the lake. Easy in and space to set up camp. Site included fire ring/pit and picnic table.
At nearly 10000 feet elevation, Temps were coll and air refreshing!
LegendRed Fleet Holds its annual Paddle Fest every year around this time. Because camping space is very limited our friends and family went and waited in line bright and early to get spots. At Paddle Fest they shut down the lake to all motorized water craft. This allows for kayakers, paddle boards, canoes, and swimmers to be in the water safely. They set up a giant slip n slide on the boat dock and bring in vendors where you'd normally park after launching boats. They also set up a concert stage and have fireworks at night. Red fleet has 2 bathroom facilities. Tent and RV camp sites with no hookups. They have a fish cleaning station for your daily catches. There is a large area with grass, covered picnic tables, fire pits, and bbq's. Each RV site comes with a tent site on that grass. RV sites are very close together so if someones running a generator you will be hearing it. Fishing is off and on as they killed out the lake a couple years ago and replanted smaller fish into it.
TravelerThis is the best campground in the area that we have found due to the hot showers and flushing toilets and great camp host. Bathrooms have lights, running water and electric plug-ins with vault toilets at sime points. Most sites have shade, and there are water points for drinking water throughout camp. There isn't any electric, water or sewer hookups and no wifi available. There are trash dumpsters close to the restrooms.
LegendIn the off the beaten path category, Firehole Canyon, in southwestern WY, definitely qualifies. Just getting there, from nearly anywhere, is an adventure in itself. With about 45 miles between the campground and the closest town, campers should come prepared with everything they need.
The sites have very unique set ups, that we’ve never seen anywhere else, and that’s saying something cause we’ve camped all over this continent. Each campsite shares a paved parking area with its neighbor and the picnic/ fire ring shelter serves each campsite to one side or the other. Each site gets its own privacy but with all the space within this vast campground it feels just a bit strange to cluster pairs of sites in this way. However, it makes the perfect choice for groups needing more than one space!
The bathrooms are old, but clean, and the showers were wicked hot with plenty of pressure. There are no electrical hook-ups, so bring your solar panels because there is plenty of sun to be had.
The Green River which creates the reservoir is the perfect locations for recreational paddlers, boaters and anglers. Walking the lakeshore or hiking the ATV two-tracks in the area are good ways to spend an afternoon not spent on the water.
ScoutThe Travel Camp is a good place to stop if you’re short on options and don’t want to remove yourself too far from I-80. There are about 8 tent sites: basic sand-filled plot, grill, showers, and toilets nearby. The sand is hard so you better have a decent sleeping pad. The office closes at eight, so you need to check in before then- $27.50 for one night of tent camping. The highway is very close so you will definitely hear trucks throughout the night and sometimes the ground may rumble a bit. I was hoping to camp in a dispersed site but I couldn’t locate anything nearby, so the Travel Camp proved a welcome option as night fell.
LegendSites 1-14 are best for RVs trailers, sites 15-20 are small for tenters. Three big group areas in the middle. Vault toilets, tables and fire rings but no water or trash
TravelerOverall, a very nice KOA. Picnic tables are all new and maintained, new fire rings. I stayed in tent camping, and it was grassy and level.
Lots of drive thru spots for electric and hookups.
The staff greeted me warmly. The office was clean and maintained.
Bathrooms were clean, but a tad dated. But they were servicable, smelled clean.
Pool was being repaired at the beginning of .e.orial Day weekend. A bit of a bummer. Also, there waa no firewood that I saw for sale.
The grounds were about half full.
The other slight downside was I-80 noise. I made a video so you can hear the noise. Its about 1 mile away.
I would stay here again!
