Fort Tabby Campground
2. Fort Tabby Campground
38mi from Ashley National Forest · 1 site
Fort Tabby is a rustic glamping and outdoor retreat featuring distinctive painted tipis set against a backdrop of rolling hills, open skies, and a nearby river.
The site’s tipis are the centerpiece. One is decorated with deer and geometric borders in earth tones; another features a bold American flag motif with stars and stripes; a third depicts galloping horses silhouetted against a sunset gradient.
Matching picnic tables sit outside each tipi, painted in complementary designs and placed on striped outdoor rugs. Adirondack chairs—some navy, some red—are clustered nearby for relaxing. Grill stands and propane fire pits are also available.
The interiors feel cozy and cabin-like. Log-frame beds are dressed in themed quilts featuring bears, patriotic patchwork, and American flags, complemented by sofas, nightstands, floor lamps, dreamcatchers, and hanging textiles. Soft natural light filters through the canvas and circular vents at the peak. One space includes a wooden entry bench and potted plants, while another offers a full bed and two twin beds.
A short walk leads to a tree-lined river where guests can fish in waders, casting their lines amid green banks and distant mountains. A simple picnic table sits on the grassy shore. Evenings center around campfires, where groups can gather in folding chairs around open flames or a metal fire pit etched with horse silhouettes while roasting marshmallows under the stars.
Practical amenities include a clean, modern restroom building constructed of tan-and-brown blocks with a metal roof. Inside are private stalls, sinks, mirrors, paper towel dispensers, grab bars, and bright lighting.
Overall, Fort Tabby blends themed, comfortable tipi lodging with riverside recreation, outdoor cooking, and communal fireside evenings in a scenic, open landscape.

Cedar Mountain Glampground
5. Cedar Mountain Glampground
45mi from Ashley National Forest · 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.

After a year of wanting to make it out here, we finally did. This place is so amazing! The tent and campground is so clean, inside the tent is spotless. They provide basically everything you need, just bring food and firewood! The hosts (Jim and his wife) are extremely helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. I appreciate you guys so much for such an amazing weekend getaway! Definitely coming back and telling all my friends about it.

The directions Matt & Rachel provided were easy to follow, and the property was well-kept. We ended up switching to the Judah tent since another customer had canceled and Isaachar had a broken zipper that hadn't been repaired yet. It was a very peaceful place to spend the night!

Such an awesome getaway! Took out all the difficult parts of camping, and made it so enjoyable! We had the Zebulon tent, and it was so cool inside! Being able to nap mid day with the solar powered AC was SO nice.
Super fun! Very affordable! Totally want to come back here :)

For starters as a busy single mom, this was not only affordable, but had literally everything you need, comfy beds, hot showers, a sink to wash your hands and dishes, a/c and heat in the tent, and an RV fridge cooler, that kept everything super cold! I only go places where I can bring my dog, and she really enjoyed herself as well, we had so much fun that we stayed an extra night! This is our new favorite spot and Matt and Rachel are absolutely wonderful and kind! Our charcoal got soaked in the rain and the happily swapped out our bucket. We are already planning our next trip!! PS they have WIFI!!

The hosts are amazing.
The amenities are perfect.
I flew in from the Midwest and didn't need anything except food to comfortably camp here. Better than a hotel!
The outdoor shower is heavenly. It has a tank less heater if that's your jam, but the water is from a tank so it's not freezing cold.

This place has everything you need for a perfect “I’m outdoorsy but also like mattresses” kind of getaway. The bed? Comfy enough to make you question your life choices back home. The bathroom? Spotless, private, and had actual toilet paper (not the terrifying single-ply stuff). And yes, the shower was hot — not “lukewarm if you dance around” hot, but real hot.
There was a fire pit where we roasted marshmallows like champions, and a little coffee setup that made me feel like a civilized human while watching the sunrise.
But let’s talk about the jackrabbits. Two of them. We called them Bonnie and Clyde. They spent most of the trip sprinting around like tiny antelope with trust issues. At one point, they squared off like it was the Wild West and we were the only witnesses. Five stars for the unexpected bunny drama alone.
In short: came for the nature, stayed for the rabbits with beef. Will absolutely glamp again

Everything and nothing. My gas leaked like hell and the heat went out. It’s on the 40 with a beautiful overlook over skinwalker ranch. Heat went out at ten. I woke up at 12 and went out for a smoke and saw my lights on in my car I was like godamn that crap was locked!!! Went turned it off and ran the car to charge the battery for twenty minutes. Damn right I brought my dog. My alarm for some reason went off at 505 and I woke up and my dog was frozen and shaking. She refused to get under the covers so I took her into my car. There were three of them. Talking about my dog. I laughed. I was in my car smoking heard a blow of one. Instantly rolled up my window. Then behind me my beautiful wiew. I say a glowing light get bright then go dim about twenty times. It was cool as hell. The things kept taking telling me to trust them. As soon as it was light.
I cleaned and left quickly. I never turned off my vehicle. It was greatest experience ever I highly recommend staying in the Judah tent in February. Awesome night!!!

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!
April 2022
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.
April 2022
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 :)
