High Heaven

4 sites · RVs, Tents35 acres · Evanston, WY

Welcome to Big Sky Country with fabulous sunrises and sunsets everyday. My 35 acres sit at 7500 ft elevation with 360-degree views for miles around, including view of the snow-capped Uintas. No neighbors (unless you count the occasional cattle or sheep as it is open range). Starry skies, red cliffs, sage seas, junipers, howling coyotes: the Wild West at its best. Pull in your RV or pitch a tent. Lots to see and do in the area. The Piedmont ghost town and kilns are 15 minutes away. The majestic Uinta mountains are 30 minutes to the southeast on the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. Check out the local bison herd (including its famous white bison) at Bear River State Park in Evanston. While there, walk around the Historic Depot Area and the Union Pacific Roundhouse and Railyards further to the west. The downtown stretch along Main St. is step back in time and the site of our local brewery (Suds). Up the road on I-80 is historic Fort Bridger. Fishing available at local reservoirs and Bear River.

Cottage Stopover

1 site · RV2 acres · Woodruff, UT

Mountain Desert at its best. Learn more about this land:If you are on your way somewhere and need a place to campout, consider stoping here. In the spring when the creek is full, it is a fun place for kids to play (it dries up in July usually). There is lots of open space. We have a trampoline and swing and fire pit we can share (fire pit for spring and early summer only). Its very peaceful out here. There are tons of flat roads to ride bikes safely on. It's 30 mins from Bear Lake, 20 Minutes from Monte Cristo. There is fishing nearby and a park around the corner. 30 amp electrical hookup and water as well. We have kids who love to make you feel welcome and play with your kids too.

Rusty Ridgeline

1 site · RV1 acre · Park City, UT

Closed for the snow season! With stunning views of the Park City ridgeline, and a peaceful atmosphere, the camping area is .35 acres, comprised of a level rv parking spot that is roughly 16' by 50'. Watch the sun rise and set with one of Park City's best views, or enjoy the stars bright light. At 7100 ft you'll quickly understand why the mountains are calling, and why you chose this as your camp. Park City and neighboring areas have so much to offer: mountain biking, hikes, climbing, water sports in the reservoirs, road biking, concerts, restaurants, winter sports, and much more. Endless opportunities for adventure only 15 + minutes away. After a long day filled with adrenaline, come back to camp and enjoy the gorgeous views, relax, and get ready for the next day. This spot is perfect for a small motorhome, adventure van, sprinter, or similar. A small trailer can fit, but must have some back up experience to park here and be able to unhitch car.

Sage Creek

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · WY

This property is located in a 'ghost town'. Abandoned around 1994 this land is located at the end of town. The property was originally a small railroad town. It is a short dirt road off the highway and surrounded by a forest of 5' sage brush and a small creek just down the trail. It was also referenced in 'Brokeback Mountain' as the birth place of Enes.
