Camp Along the Green River
Ever wanted to camp along the Green River? We invite you to come stay on our property and experience it for yourself. Enjoy beautiful white sandy beaches nestled among cottonwood trees right along the river, where the only sounds you’ll hear are those of nature.
Guests can spend their time fishing, tubing, kayaking, or simply relaxing along the water. Depending on the time of year, the surrounding area is also great for riding ATVs or four-wheelers. At night, with no city lights nearby, the sky opens up to incredible stargazing.
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—guests simply need to light them as needed. 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.

Overview
About
Traverse steep canyons and mountain peaks among the wilderness located in northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. Elevations range from 6,000 feet to over 13,500 feet high. You could spend a month here and not see everything.
Start with Kings Peak, the highest point in Utah. Aptly named Gunsight Pass affronts the peak with its narrow gap between two mountains. A long, gentle hike on the south side Kings Peak leads to the top. The view is well worth it, plus you get to say you reached one state's high point.
Head to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area next. Red sandstone cliffs overlook a reservoir near the Green River, hence the name.
Put in your boat to navigate the reservoir's many scenic inlets. Drive to a trailhead before hiking to the top of one of these cliffs. Wintertime is great for cross country skiing and snowmobiling.
Campgrounds abound in this national forest. Flaming Gorge itself has more than 700 individual campsites.

Beautiful campground! My husband comes here to hunt every year during deer season. He asked me to marry him on the dock. Very special place for our family!

Additional note: when it was opened in 2021, there was no charge for using the CG. I hope that will again be the case in 2022. It is VERY shady—if you camp here, don’t plan on having much sunlight for any solar gear.

This campground has been gated (locked) for several years. A sign states that it needs extensive rehabilitation and there is not budget for that. It was opened for the summer of 2021 while the nearby Lodgepole campground was closed. As of fall 2021, it was again locked. Don’t plan on using it without contacting the Vernal ranger district first to make sure that it is opened. If I observe that it is open this summer (2022) I will post that here. (I live in nearby Manila, UT.)

I loved this campground. It was well kept. We were able to pick a spot with a view. It was such a short distance to the gorge too. At the dock near the campsite you can rent different things like kayaks and go explore the gorge. It was GORGEous :)
