2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents15 acres ¡ Dinosaur, CO
We own a beautiful 10 acre property with awesome views going up Current Creek Mountain Road in Fruitland Utah and a 5 acre property with awesome mountain views in front of the Dinosaur National Monument in Dinosaur Colorado. We look forward to sharing both with you! Fruitland is a great location and it's only an hour from the property up on the mountain to Park City Utah. There is a full service gas station with a restaurant, RV Park, and even a small church building in town just minutes down the mountain. There are several reservoirs within a short drive in every direction from the campsite. Amazing amounts of wildlife right on the property throughout the year. Dinosaur is a great location and it's 5 minutes from the property to the CO side of the Dinosaur National Monument and less than 30 minutes from the UT side and the Dinosaur National Monument Quarry Visitor Center. There are full service gas stations, restaurants, cannabis dispensaries, as well as a convenience-store, liquor store, RV Park, and electric vehicle charging station in town just minutes down the road. There are several well known hiking trails within a short drive in every direction from the campsite. The Fruitland campsite is best for tent camping. Pulling anything bigger than a small camper into this campsite will be difficult. There will be flexibility on cancellations due to weather on the mountain. The Dinosaur campsite is well suited for tent & RV camping. Pulling in campers and motorhomes into this campsite will be very easy. Direct year-round access to the property is off of HWY 40. Pets will also be allowed without restrictions.

Camping near Flaming Gorge guide

Overview

On the border of Utah and Wyoming, Flaming Gorge features a massive reservoir that attracts anglers and water-sports enthusiasts. While water-based activities are the big draw here, there's also plenty to do on land, from hiking along the Canyon Rim Trail to pitching a tent at one of the many campsites in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area or in the greater Ashley National Forest. Just note that many of the campgrounds here are right on the water, both on the Utah and Wyoming sides of the border, so it's wise to book in advance.

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.
