What to do

Lake activities: At Whitney Reservoir, visitors enjoy water recreation during summer months. "We experienced the water drop almost 30 feet. Fishing was phenomenal. Never skunked," shared one camper who spent 45 days at the reservoir.
Wildlife viewing: The mountains surrounding Robertson offer opportunities to spot diverse wildlife. At Whitney Reservoir, campers report seeing "10 turkey vultures, 2 bald eagles, 1 Osprey, 1 woodpecker, 4 deer, 2 Moose, 2 porcupines, mice, lots of chip monks, 1 fox, a couple owls and Coyote."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Flaming Gorge-Manila KOA receives consistent praise for maintenance. "Very nice facility, very clean and well kept. Good wifi," notes one reviewer who appreciated the campground's upkeep.
Peaceful atmosphere: Many campers value the quiet environment at Stillwater Campground. "What I expect was not what was there. First, each site is spaced far enough apart to feel some privacy... the view from my tent was amazing. Stillwater Fork was right there 12 feet away and I fell asleep to the sound of rushing water."
Star-gazing: The minimal light pollution around Robertson makes for excellent night sky viewing. At Whitney Reservoir, campers "very much enjoyed watching the moon go through its phases and star gazing with zero light pollution."
What you should know
Road conditions: Access to many glamping sites near Robertson requires driving on unpaved roads. At China Meadows, a camper who spent the 4th of July weekend noted: "We didn't have reservations and it wasn't crowded at all. There were a lot of bugs, but that's expected when camping next to the water."
Limited services: Most dispersed camping areas have minimal facilities. At Whitney Reservoir, "The road in was a bit rough because Google maps send me the back way and not on 150. I could see neighbors but not hear them."
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds close during winter months. At Stateline Campground, one visitor reported: "During the week this is a great place if you like to disperse camp. We got there on a Wednesday and had the place to our self. They did have vaulted toilets and dumpsters."
Tips for camping with families
Water activities: Marsh Lake Campground offers family-friendly water recreation. "The lake is really cold, but there are people in fishing boats, kayaks, and float tubes. The fishing is ok, but there is a boat ramp for loading and unloading boats."
