North Fork Camping Area

No reservations are taken here. North Fork Camping Area operates first-come, first-served on dispersed sites within Ashley National Forest, with no fee information in current data. The access road is rough enough that at least one camper reported tire damage from rocks, so high-clearance vehicles and slow speeds are advisable. There is no water on-site; campers must bring their own. A single pavilion provides the only shade available across the camping area. Note that pets are not permitted. Nearby, South Fork Campground gives campers a developed alternative a few miles to the west, and dispersed areas around Ashley National Forest include additional options for those who want more flexibility.

Visitors frequently highlighted the abundance of year-round activities including hiking, horseback riding, and winter skiing. The first-come-first-serve camping offers spacious sites with beautiful scenery, though campers should prepare for windy conditions and bring water since none is provided on-site.

Desert camping at it’s finest

This was my first time at this campground and it was great! It’s close to hiking, wild horses, the u-dig trilobite digging center, the sink hole. Great for a weekend getaway. We were there mid-May so the temperature was perfect, but it was windy. You can see all the stars on a clear night

Things you should know: No reservations, it’s first come first serve There is one pavilion for a bunch of camping sites (this is your only source of shade so bring sunscreen) Bring your own water Dog-friendly, but there are lots of people passing through during the day. There is a bathroom in site Make sure you have good tires and drive slow, the rocks destroyed our tires

Love this place

Horses, hiking, large family areas, things to do here year round.

Spring-summer-fall-winter you can ski and snowshoe in the winter and camp, hike, bike, ride horses, the rest of the year.
