Stateline Cove Campground runs along the Wyoming-Utah border near Flaming Gorge Reservoir, operating as a fee-based site from roughly Memorial Day through mid-September, then transitioning to free dispersed camping once the host departs and the facilities close. During the season, campers pay $21 per night ($10.50 with a senior pass), with pit toilets and dumpsters on-site. After closing, those amenities are locked or removed, so self-sufficiency becomes essential. A KOA down the road provides dump station access, water by the gallon, and laundry for those who need services.
The layout here is open and sandy rather than forested, with a loop road offering pull-offs instead of designated sites. No camping sits directly on the water, but many pull-offs face the reservoir, giving rigs a clear view across the lake. There is no shade. Reviewers consistently note a steady breeze during summer months, which helps offset the exposed terrain. Wind can pick up significantly, and bugs near the water at sunset are worth planning around. The campground has dog-friendly campgrounds near Ashley National Forest in the surrounding area for those traveling with animals. The nearby FR 365 Dispersed — Ashley NF near Manila and Lucerne Campground - Ashley National Forest offer alternatives with different site configurations.
Mark notes the campground is "a sandy road around the area with areas to pull off," which captures the layout well for anyone expecting marked sites. Big rigs up to 35 feet have made it in without issue on the main access road, though side roads off Route 150 can require four-wheel drive. Kayakers and paddleboarders use the direct water access, with boats launched from the marina and beached here. Antelope move through the area regularly. Arriving before mid-September ensures access to toilets and trash service.
