At night, with no city lights nearby, the sky opens up to incredible stargazing. Our property is conveniently located near some of the area’s top attractions. The Dinosaur National Monument Quarry Visitor Center and the famous Quarry Exhibit Hall, where you can see an incredible wall containing approximately 1,500 dinosaur fossils still embedded in the rock, are just 10 miles away. If you’d like to explore even more of the monument, the Canyon Visitor Center (Monument Headquarters) is only 25 miles from the property. Looking for adventure? Adrift Dinosaur, one of the area’s premier rafting outfitters, is located just 3.5 miles away, offering unforgettable Class II and III through whitewater rafting trips through Split Mountain Gorge. Prefer to stay on land? You’ll find endless hiking opportunities nearby, with scenic trails ranging from easy walks to challenging backcountry adventures, all showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Dinosaur National Monument and the surrounding landscape. We offer two different campsites: • Riverside Site – Located directly along the Green River, surrounded by cottonwood trees and white sandy beaches, providing a true riverside camping experience. • Family Site – This site includes a fence and gate between the campsite and the river, making it a great option for guests with small children. It also features cottonwood trees that provide shade from the summer sun. *During the summer months, mosquitoes can occasionally be heavy due to the proximity to the river. To help with this, we provide tiki torches filled with mosquito-repellent oil at both campsites. We also recommend bringing personal insect repellent for added comfort. If you happen to forget, we do keep some available for purchase. We look forward to hosting you and sharing this peaceful riverside setting.

The Bureau of Land Management’s Field Office in Vernal oversees a vast amount of public lands in Utah. And, if you’ve ever seen a pic of anything in Utah, you know the scenery is going to be unreal pretty much anywhere you go…and Vernal is no exception! Why not go check out the Book Cliffs, a mountain range that extends nearly 200 miles? You’ll see the trademark red rocks of the southern part of the state, and even tons of greenery common in the northern and alpine regions. Or, how about the dreamily named Fantasy Canyon? This unique spot is in northeastern Utah, and despite its small size, it has some of the most unique geology in the whole freakin’ world. Want to try river rafting? The White River is one of several options, and it’s considered one of the best canoeing, camping, and kayaking rivers in the whole darn state. Now that we’ve given you a few ideas for your next trip, when are you going to make your way out here?

The Price Bureau of Land Management Field Office is perfect for any number of outdoor activities, but we’ve gotta give a major hat tip to the phenomenal river-based recreation that’s going on out here. Evidence of water’s work on the landscape is obvious everywhere you go, whether you’re on the water itself or simply exploring a deep canyon. The scenery is openly amazeballs, but these canyons also let you catch a glimpse of what life would have been like for explorers of the past, and it’s a downright fascinating experience. For water lovers, what to do is a no-brainer…set out on a rafting and camping trip! Beginners should always go with a trip outfitter or with experienced friends. Conditions can change quickly in this part of the country, and as you’ll be able to see from the landscapes, this is definitely a place of extremes. Mostly, it’s just extremely awesome.

Cedar Mountain Glampground

19. Cedar Mountain Glampground

24mi from Altamont · 1 site
Cedar Mountain Glampground is a secluded retreat nestled against the Uintah National Forest, surrounded by fragrant juniper, weathered cedar, and ancient pinyon pines. The moment you arrive, the forest seems to exhale around you—quiet, cool, and untouched. This is a place where the noise of daily life falls away and the rhythm of the mountains takes over. The glampground sits on a gentle rise that opens to sweeping views of the surrounding high‑country wilderness. Juniper and cedar forests wrap your private tiny home in natural seclusion, their branches twisting into sculptural shapes carved by wind and time. In the early morning, sunlight filters through the trees in soft gold bands; in the evening, the forest glows amber before settling into deep blue shadow. Two pristine mountain lakes lie just a short drive away, offering easy access for paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, or simply sitting at the shoreline with your feet in cool alpine water. Trails weave through pinyon pine stands and open meadows, making it effortless to explore the landscape at your own pace. Wildlife is part of the experience—mule deer grazing at dawn, hawks circling overhead, and the occasional lizard slipping between the trees. When night falls, Cedar Mountain becomes a sanctuary for stargazers. With no city lights to dim the sky, the stars appear in brilliant, crystalline detail. The Milky Way stretches overhead like a luminous river, and constellations feel close enough to touch. It’s the kind of night sky that invites you to linger by the fire a little longer, wrapped in a blanket, listening to the forest settle around you. Designed for comfort without compromising the natural setting, you can relax in the tiny house and sip your morning coffee in the shade of cedar branches, or unwind in the evening with the scent of juniper drifting through the air. The experience is intentionally simple, restorative, and deeply connected to the land. Cedar Mountain Glampground is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to breathe, to slow down, and to rediscover the quiet magic of the mountains.
