Windy Park Camping Area

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Ashley National Forest manages Windy Park Camping Area as free dispersed camping, with sites spread across aspen and pine groves in the Flaming Gorge area of Wyoming. Campers must stay within 150 feet of a developed road, and a 16-day limit applies if leaving an RV in one spot. No pets are allowed. Toilets are the only on-site amenity. Locals from Vernal commonly park RVs here on a semi-permanent basis, so expect company on weekends and during hunting season. Dispersed camping near Ashley National Forest follows similar rules throughout the area. ATV trails and hiking routes are accessible from camp, and Flaming Gorge Reservoir is a short drive away. Campers wanting a developed alternative can check out Ashley National Forest Oaks Park Campground, about a mile southeast.

Dispersed camping in the Unitahs

I love that you can camp just about anywhere off of the main drag here. There are several dispersed camping areas here, I liked Oaks Park the best! This is a great second option though. Lots of ATV trails and like previous reviewers have said, many people leave their RVs parked up here. We camped near two RVs but no one was home so we had the place to ourselves. Flaming George is close as well, but we prefer free, solitary camping.

Dispersed camping in Ashley National Forest.

Windy Park, like a lot of camp areas in Ashley National Forest is free, dispersed camping. The only rule is that you have to camp within 150 feet of a developed road. There is a 16 day camp limit for leaving your camper in the same camp spot like most of the locals from Vernal do (leave it on the mountain, and come up on the weekends, or for the hunt, etc.). There are many ATV roads, and hiking trails in the area. It's a quick drive to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Enjoy the aspen and pine groves located throughout Ashley National Forest. Weather can be unpredictable in the Uintahs, so prepare for anything! We've had hail and snow in July!
