The best camping in Red Fleet State Park, UT guide

Overview

About

If you’re ever feeling old, just visit Red Fleet State Park, where you can hike to 200-million year old dinosaur tracks. Yeah, that’ll have you feeling young again! Budding paleontologists will want to check out the tracks, too. Get there via a 1.5-mile trail with a few uphill and downhill spots that’ll get your lungs pumping and your legs burning. It’s best to go during early morning or late afternoon, since the burning Utah sun can make the tracks hard to pick out. If you make the trip in the morning, spend the rest of your day relaxing on Red Fleet Reservoir. Boating and fishing are popular, and if you’re lucky enough to catch some dinner for your group, enjoy it in the park’s scenic campground that overlooks the sandstone and desert that surrounds you.

When to go

The best time to visit Red Fleet State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers warm waters for swimming, though it can be hot. Winter brings a quiet, stark beauty, but be prepared for cold temperatures.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's webpage or Facebook page for the latest updates on construction and access.
  • Day-use areas may be limited during renovations, but hiking trails remain open.
  • For alternative camping options, consider Steinaker State Park nearby.
  • Remember to pack out all trash and respect the natural environment.
  • Accessibility may vary during construction, so verify available facilities before your visit.
