Surrounded by trees and crunchy fall leaves! We booked last minute and Kayla was very responsive and accommodating. We had water and power and all the quiet and peace we needed. Kayla is quick to respond to messages and happy to help! We will stay again!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. It was very easy to park the trailer and very very minimal we had to do to level the trailer. Access to water and electricity was awesome. And a very short walk to the river to go fishing. Will definitely stay here again. Kayla and here husband were amazing hosts.

Awesome property with an amazing host! The history in this area is incredible and it’s the perfect home base to get to both sides of the national monument. Do yourself a favor and do the Harper’s Corner hike while you’re here.
The location was super easy access to everything in the area and the gated fence made us feel safe at night. Epic sunsets and incredible stargazing. Would definitely stay here again for multiple nights if we have time to check out more of the area!

The property was very nice. Backed straight up to the river with incredible views. Easy in and out. Very close to dinosaur national monument as well.

Nice spot in Jensen and close to dinosaur National Monument. The site was nice and being so close to the river was great. The water was chilly but refreshing. My dog loved swimming. The river sand was super soft. All in all, we had an excellent time and would love to come back. Kayla is super helpful and responsive. There was power and water at the cottonwood site, power was 120 volt extension cord.

Kayla communicated well when we had to come late. Signs guide you to your spot. Great location by the river! Will definitely try to stay here if we’re ever in the area again!

It was lovely to be right next to the river and Kayla and Wyatt and their daughter Hayzlee were excellent hosts. The first day there was quite a bit of beach in front of our camper and our daughters loved playing in it. Then the water came up and there wasn’t as much left by the end, but that’s the nature of being on a river!
The Riverside campsite is pretty tricky to get into with a trailer… Just a heads up depending on the size rig you have and your navigating in tight spaces skills!
Kayla and Hayzlee and watched our dog for us two different days so we could go into the monument unencumbered.
Thanks so much!

Amazing spot! Beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. The beaches and sand bars were very fun to explore in kayaks, which Rebecca rents out for a reasonable price. We came in late May, and the river water level was fine, a good challenge for upstream travel but navigable. Rebecca was good with providing answers to my questions but had some communication challenges because it's a bit off the grid, so you'd likely want questions answered up front. It's a dream spot if you appreciate unconventional camping on the gorgeous Green River.

Very easy to find nice private backyard that backs up to the green river. Heard birds singing all night long by the river and then got to photograph a beautiful California quail on my way out this morning. Kayla was very responsive and tried to anticipate everything I might need.

Peaceful camping spot! It was closer to the house than I thought, but the positioning of the spot made it completely private with our trailer and truck. Never noticed any noise from the home. The beach access was amazingly beautiful. Water was slow running so it would be great to paddle out onto. Bugs were not an issue like we expected. Kayla's communications were helpful and polite. Will stay here again on future trips to Dino!

Great spot to park our motorhome. Very private and secluded. The river was a 30 second walk to the sandy shore.
Easy to find the place. Kayla was a great host. I would stay here again.

Kayla was an excellent host. We had a delay getting to her property and she was communicative, and supportive of our late arrival. The site was simple, level, quiet, isolated, and the services worked great. We have no complaints, would stay there again, and recommend it to other travelers. As a bonus the property is only moments from Dinosaur N. M. and the Green River.

The best camping near Flaming Gorge with campfires guide
Where to go
The Uinta Mountains
Stretching across a large swathe of northeast Utah, this mountain range offers beautiful peaks, expansive meadows, and pristine ponds. While the region is popular for backpackers, there are also plenty of reservable campgrounds along Mirror Lake Highway.
Southwestern Wyoming
Vast southern Wyoming offers tons for outdoorsy types, from hiking and fishing in the Little Mountain area, a short drive from Flaming Gorge, to ATV riding on the sands at Killpecker Dunes. Wildlife fans may want to make a trip up to the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, which provides a home to elk, moose, swans, turtles, and even lizards.
Northwestern Colorado
Northwestern Colorado offers plenty to experience, from the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge—home to deer, elk, and pronghorn—to the rocky cascades at Vermillion Falls. Paleontology buffs won't want to miss Dinosaur National Monument, where you can see (and touch) real dinosaur fossils.
When to go
Flaming Gorge is a summer destination, and while it's not as hot as some other parts of Utah, temperatures still run in the 70s and 80s from June through September. As with most US destinations, the high season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day Weekend, but you'll still get plenty of sunshine and warm weather if you visit in mid-September, after area children have gone back to school for the year.
