USGS Quad - Bridger Lake and Gilbert Peak; Leashed pets are permitted. This area is popular for its fishing and hiking, it is close to wilderness access.
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 located along the Uinta River. Fishing in the Uinta River for brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout is a popular activity in this area. The High Uintas Wilderness trailhead is nearby.
This timbered campground is popular for the local fishing and is close to the lake. This campground has no water available
Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest outside of a designated campground. Dispersed camping means no toilets, no treated water, and no fire grates are provided.
Camping in dispersed areas on the Forest is allowed for fourteen (14) days in any thirty (30) day consecutive period. Campers must move off Forest after reaching the 14-day limit. The stay limit also applies to all camping equipment (tents, chairs, ATVs, ATV trailers, etc.), even if used by a different person or group. Camping equipment must be removed by the end of the fourteen (14) day stay limit or the equipment may be impounded. Stay limits are implemented to reduce impacts to vegetation and wildlife habitat, as well as provide access to popular campsite areas for other visitors.

We stayed three nights at the Antelope Flat Campground on the east shore of Flaming Gorge. The campground itself is a bit dated, but we were OK with it. Seems to be best for tent camping, there are RV spots available but without hook ups. There is a dump station. Tent sites are well kept and well maintained. We met the camp hosts for 2019, they were a very nice older couple. Seems like the wife maintains the bathrooms with flush toilets. Super clean! And her husband maintains the sites. All sites and fire rings were clean and free of weeds and debris. He worked everyday we were there on a new site. Kudos to them! Campground had super easy access to the boat ramp where we launched our kayak. Great spot to launch. Also it can get very windy!!!!!

Been going here every year for 20 years. We love to fish and cook them over the fire at night. We use the jakes fishing hooks. The silver and gold ones worked the best. Their bathrooms are clean. You can rent a little fishing boat for the day. They upgraded their shop and added a little ice cream bar. The new staff is very friendly. They even have little cabins you can rent that include extra things such as a fridge. Camp sites near the lake don’t have as many trees and campsites further from the lake but there is some shade still. They have single tent, double tent camp sites. It’s a great place to camp, we went in July this year and there were not any mosquitos.

We stayed at the Red Canyon RV Park which had 2 tent sites. The tent sites were huge compared to other tent sites we have been to. There was a water faucet right by our site along with picnic tables and a firepit. We had an extra car and tent join us at no extra cost. View was great. The site is right by the highway though - we slept great with ear plugs in, but could be a little loud otherwise. The bathrooms were great too, and just a 15 min drive from Bryce Canyon.

Beautiful higher altitude camping. RV's and tent camping. No electricity or water hookups. No showers and pit toilets. Allow horses in the horse section of the campground. Lake you can canoe, kayak no motorized crafts allwed. Fishing and swimming in the lake. Nice hiking around the lake.
LegendThis is an amazing campgrounds. Nice big spots. I camped in June and there was only 2 people using the campground. There is water hookups with outhouse style bathrooms and picnic tables. Amazing views of Flaming Gorge resivore.
We saw big horn sheep right by camp. The look out is within walking distance and it is close to the trailhead to the loop trail. Tent camping and RV this is a nice set up.

The site overseer Tony was helpful, and professional. The grounds maintained. The bathrooms well stocked, clean and offer good hot water pressure for showers. The tent site is large, grass and away from the RV sites. Definitely a spot we will stay again. Note the site offices close at 7pm. We had no reservations so you must arrive before 7pm. Our visit late late September 2024
RangerThis area is more green than I usually expect from Utah. Great kayaking and some moderate/long hikes on site. We hired horses to explore the area, highly recommended. It’s close to lots of other state and national lands too, so it’d make a good base camp. Some tent sites are isolated, many are fairly wooded. Everything is basic and clean, as we expect from national facilities like this.

I've camped 3 times in the last three years at this campground and it has gotten progressively worse since my first visit in 2021. My last stay in early August 2023 was the worst. I had to spend 5 minutes cleaning up dog poop out of my assigned site before I could carefully pitch my tent in a cleared area. The bathrooms were dirty and the WiFi didn't work at my site. The "benefit" of being close to I-80 is outweighed by the constant noise of traffic from both the interstate and a service road which runs right past the tent sites.
Traveler
Overall, 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!
Guideyup it’s by the highway, but i knew that when i picked it. but i did NOT realize that it is by the train tracks, and ALSO tent area is alongside a road that gets deliveries via semi trucks at 3:30am. if you neeeeeeed to sleep, don’t stay here.
but i am tired from a hard day’s driving in windy and smoky conditions, and sorely in need of a shower and time with my book, music and planning my route. they gave me a little tent site with electricity for my camper van, in the shade, just as i’d requested. lovely aspen and cottonwood trees making shade. bathroom and shower — so clean! wifi — secure and signal is good.
and really, it’s not too noisy until nighttime!
Guide
This 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
While camping lakeside to get away from the crowds of the developed campground may be a good idea in spring, the dry winter has left this beautiful area as more of a puddle than a lake/reservoir. I wandered around the lake and found quite a few good tent sites tucked among the trees, the only problem was that the water was 100-300' away in spots and some 50' in elevation lower. Maybe after this winter if it's heavy this will be a nice place to camp again, but until then I would head to Mirror Lake or Moosehorn if you want pristine mountain lake camping. Unlike the campground, if you really want to camp here it'll only cost you $6 for 3 days and $12 for the week with a Mirror Lake Hwy rec pass.

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. Site 1 is a double back in and 9 is a deep back in. There’s two very clean pit toilets but no water. Doesn’t sound like they will ever get water back so bring enough with you as we could not find any even in Mountain View. The host, Matthew drives up from Meeks Cabin multiple times every day and checks to see if you need anything, he is the greatest caretaker. There is only a few negatives. There’s a lot of people who come into the site to use the bathrooms and fish without paying the day use fee. They did leave some trash in the toilets and around the lake. People also walk right through the campsite to go to the lake. Not too noisy on the weekends and plenty of available sites, we had 2 other campers on Saturday night. Sunday night and Monday we had the whole valley to ourselves. The fishing after everyone left was great, brook and speckled trout, small but fun to catch on light tackle or flies. Matthew made up for the minimal negatives. If you disperse up at Big Lyman and come down to fish, pay the day use fee, make sure you have your fishing license and take your trash out. We’ll be back for some mid week camping soon. Don’t even think you will get cell service, but isn’t that the point.
Guide
Great campground! The host here will likely guide you to the spot and help you set up camp. He is very friendly and helpful. There are 24 sites on a loop several are group sites. Two pit toilets on the loop both have men’s and women’s sides. A pine pole fence surrounds the area to keep the local livestock out. The access is from a dirt road shortly after leaving Robertson Wyoming. Roughly 12 miles of dirt road that is very well maintained until you enter the national forest then a couple miles of road that is rocky and has some good potholes. I was in a 24 foot motor home and taking it easy and picking the smoothest path it was not too bad. Worth it for the views and solitude here.

State line Cove Campround is great. The beachy lake was awesome. I enjoyed doing some stand up paddle boarding, and swimming in the lake. My campsite was right next to the lake. It was great to open up my tent and see the beautiful lake and sandy area. This campground actually is close to the Wyoming and Utah boarder. There really isn't any shaded areas, so during the summer months I'm sure it gets pretty hot. You can't make reservations ahead of time, it's on a first come first serve basis. However, I got there around 6pm on a Friday and was able to get a good spot. The campsites are pretty bare, and not every campsite comes with a picnic table. The toilets are a little gross, but it wasn't a huge deal for me. I would come back again just to do more stand up paddle boarding in the lake!

Great place in rural Wyoming. In town of Kemmerer close to several lakes. Convenient to amenities as well as nature in rural Wyoming.

Beaver View is reported as Wyoming. It is not in Wyoming it is in Utah off Highway 150 (also known as Mirror Lake Scenic Byway). It is a great little spot. Lots of space and quiet. Great Hiking and Exploring opportunities. When I was there it was empty except for someone who showed up the last night I was there. Lots of great trees for Hammocking and Reading and I think anyone who wants to be dispersed without being 100% remote would like this campground.
No Cell Service, Pit Vault Toilets, but there is water and there are dumpsters. The morning nature viewing is amazing, and a great way to unwind.
Guide
this campground has a lot to offer. I don’t think there is any bad spots, but the spots on the road side didn’t seam very flat, but most had at least a spot for a tent. no water, bathrooms and trash. there is a great hiking trail across the street and along camp site to pull off the side of the road and camp of you don’t want to camp in actually campground. spot 19 (I think) was my favorite but would only be good for tent, no trailer.
ScoutVery peaceful and far enough away from neighbors to feel privacy! Plenty of spaces to tent down.
GuideI only stayed here one night, but it had everything I needed. Kind, attentive hosts, squeaky clean restroom including showers, a small, fenced in area for dogs to be off leash, and plenty of space between campers. There are cabins there as well as tent areas.
GuideNice little campground. 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. We camp here because the kids like to fish, and we can all ride dirtbikes, ATV, and side-by-side.

Ledgefork is one of my favorite places to camp. Site#27 is an inside site, so no access to any of the rivers. It has 3 spaces for medium to small tents. Our large tent did not quite fit, so we didn't pull it to it's full width. It contained a nice little area with trees to get shade and hang a hammock. Easy access to 2 bathrooms. None of the RVs near us ran their generators, which was lovely. There was a huge group with 5 cars taking up the 2 spots next to us and they were quiet and friendly. It was still quite cold in the middle of June-- got to 32 degrees one night.
GuideAll the basics are here! Spotless bathrooms inc showers. Little but completely fenced dog area. Heated pool (in season). Wifi. Just about a mile S of I-80. Extremely nice manager. Very little shade and it's Wyoming, so "breezy"😉 $40+tax for power and water. (I'm not sure if there's an extra charge for sewer since my tiny camper isn't so equipped and my site doesn't hv it available.)

Trial Lake is one of my favorite campgrounds. Elevation is 9500 feet, so be prepared for cold nights and quick change in weather. Once when we camped, it rained, hailed, was crazy windy, and sunny, all in the same weekend.
This year because of the snow and flooding, we were there mid-July and the campground had just opened. We've stayed in site#7(right on the water) and#1(a double site.) Site#1 is at the bottom of a big hill which really limited where we could put our tents. There are 2 10x10 tent pads, but one of our tents is 14x14, so we had to put it in the grass and sleep on an incline. The location of the site is literally right across the road from the lake. We would just walk across with our chairs and kayaks and enjoyed the day, but it also meant that other people were parking at our site or literally walking thru the middle of the site to get to the water(nothing to do with the campground, just people's bad manners.) The water was beautiful. The site itself had a ton of bugs and small worm like bugs were falling out of the trees over the picnic tables. I like the lake, but I wouldn't stay at site#1 again.

This campground is 20 dollars a night, which is a bit more than some of the nearby campgrounds. Very nice hosts and some grassy spots for tents. The views of flaming gorge are great.
