the North Fork of the Duchesne River. Of the two campgrounds
along this river (the other one is Hades), this campground is
the most RV friendly. Camp site separation and heavy vegetation
provide good privacy. Horse shoe pits are available.

from trail rides and back country outfitters to dancing and live
music on weekends at the saloon. The Cowboy's Cafe in Hanna

NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Duchesne
RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
In Duchesne, UT, take US Rt. 191 south 29.7 miles to Reservation
Ridge Road/Avintaquin Campground sign (Forest Rt. 147). Turn
right onto Rt. 147 (single-lane, rough and dirt) and go 1.1 miles
to an intersection. Turn right into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 9,000 ft.
The campground is composed of three loops and a spur, none of
which are named. The first loop, after entering the campground on
the right, has some nice camp sites but the interior road is
narrow and tight with close-growing trees making maneuvering an
RV difficult. The spur has little turn-around space and is
nicely suited for tent campers. The second loop from the
entrance is for group camping and is not included in the site
count. The last loop is the largest but poses similar challenges to
RVers as found in the first loop. The elevation and abundant
shade provided by White and Douglas firs make this rustic
campground a pleasant change from the summer's heat.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
From Dutch John, UT, take US Rt. 191 south 8.7 miles to a "T"
intersection (State Rt. 44). Turn right onto Rt. 44 and go 3.4
miles to the Red Canyon Visitor's Center sign (Forest Rt. 95).
Turn right after the sign onto Rt. 95 and go 1.6 miles to
campground sign. Turn right after the sign and go 0.1 miles to
campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,400 ft.
The campground, perched on the southern edge or rim of Red Canyon
some 1,300 feet above the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, is shaped like
the letter "C." The walk-in tent sites are closest to the rim
and tucked in among a dense stand of Ponderosa pine, fir, and
juniper. The remaining combined camp sites are in a grassy field
that is dotted with large Ponderosa pines. The views of Red Canyon
and reservoir are breathtaking. Although the tent sites are clustered
together in a small group, the campground has a quiet, tranquil feel
with the only dominating sounds being the wind and bird calls. Red
Canyon Lodge is close enough for a cook's night out along with a wide
variety of other services such as trail rides, kid's fish pond and float tub
rentals. This is a sweet campground for tenters or RVrs. Be
sure to visit the nearby Red Canyon Visitor Center for
information about the area, and an interpretive, short walk along
the Red Canyon rim with its magnificent views. The visitor
center building is an interesting architectural design with a
roof suspended on its own and not dependent on the walls of the
structure. Imagine tightening the bolts on the roof and looking
straight down 1,300 feet into the reservoir.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

The campground is a large single loop through a forest of Pinyon

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
From Dutch John, UT, take US Rt. 191 south 4.1 miles to Cedar
Spr. Rec. Complex sign (Forest Rt. 183). Turn right at sign onto
Rt. 183 and go 0.3 miles to campground on left.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,300 ft.
The campground, mostly in the open, is a single loop through a
forest of juniper and Pinyon pine. Privacy between camp sites is
fair. This sad little campground is convenient to the Cedar
Springs waterplay facilities but has none of its own. The
distance from water makes this campground a little quieter from
which to explore the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area's
(NRA) many sights and activities. Firewood is available for a
fee.
This campground is 1 of 18 in the Flaming Gorge NRA.
Interpretive programs are provided at different locations during
the summer; check the campground fee station bulletin board for
schedule. The NRA has numerous "boat-in" camps along the Green
River and the reservoir's shoreline; check with the Flaming Gorge
Ranger District Office or visitor center for more details to
include rafting outfitters. Marinas and lodges in the area offer
a wide range of services from mountain bike rental to horseback
trail rides, groceries to restaurants, and raft and boat rentals
to fishing guides and bait. The lodges, Flaming Gorge Lodge, Red
Canyon Lodge, and Spirit Lake Lodge, are scattered around the
NRA. Firewood is generally available for a fee from either the
campground host or lodges.
Possible day trips are: Dinosaur National Monument, Sheep Creek
Geological Loop, Swett Ranch (living history exhibit), Ute Fire
Lookout Tower, Flaming Gorge Dam and Spillway (including the
visitor center), float trips down the Green River, Red Canyon
Visitor Center, and more.

NOTE: Campground sign is not visible from highway.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,100 ft.
The campground is dedicated to Gene Campbell, Dave Abel, and
Dwight Hodgekinson, firefighters killed in the July 16, 1977 Cart
Creek Fire. On a ridge high above the Flaming Gorge Reservoir in
Ponderosa, juniper, and Pinyon pine, the campground is composed
of three loops - A, B, and C. A few camp sites on each loop have
a dramatic vista of the reservoir and dam and all have a pleasant
view of the surrounding area. Loop A is the sunniest and traffic
noise from US Rt. 191 is noticeable. Loop C has the best vistas
but is rocky making pitching a tent a challenge on some camp
sites.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
This campground is 1 of 18 in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area (NRA).

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,100 ft.
The campground, located on the north end of the Flaming Gorge
Reservoir in Firehole Canyon, is a single loop on a sagebrush-
covered flat above the reservoir in the shadow of the North and
South Chimney Rock landmarks. The camp sites are in clusters of
two which share a ramada and have side-by-side parking. Privacy
in the ramadas is provided by a wall separating the picnic
tables. Scattered Russian Olive trees provide some lacy shade.
Firehole Canyon got its name from the fire-colored buttes which
surround the campground. The dense sagebrush growth may make
pitching a second tent a challenge. The campground has
outstanding vistas and little privacy between camp sites.
This campground is 1 of 18 in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area (NRA).
Interpretive programs are provided at different locations during

The elevation is 7,400 ft.
The campground is a large single loop around grassy field dotted
with Aspen and Ponderosa pines. Although there is no middle-story

provide good privacy. Red Canyon Lodge is close enough for a
cook's night out along with a wide variety of other services such
as trail rides, kid's fish pond and float tube rentals. Be sure
to visit the nearby Red Canyon Visitor Center for information
about the area and an interpretive, short walk along the Red
Canyon rim with its magnificent views. The visitor center
building is an interesting architectural design with a roof
suspended on its own and not dependent on the walls of the
structure.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,100 ft.
The campground, located in the open on a point of land next to
Linewood Bay of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, has seven loops - A
through G. Most camp sites have a view of the reservoir and
surrounding mountains. Although most parking aprons are wide
enough for a boat trailer and tow vehicle, a separate boat
trailer parking area is available. Most camp sites have a ramada
and some a fire pit, but all have a pedestal grille. Loops C and
D have electric hookups at camp sites in the loop center. Loop G
is for groups only and is not counted in this inventory. Shade
is provided by the Ramadas and few scattered Russian Olive trees,
cottonwoods, and other drought tolerant trees. For some camp
sites, it's possible to moor boats at the shoreline. Loops A and
F have shorter parking aprons. Pronghorn antelope can be seen in
campground enjoying the green grass and shade.
This campground is 1 of 18 in the Flaming Gorge National
Recreation Area (NRA). Interpretive programs are provided at
different locations during the summer; check the campground fee
station bulletin board for schedule. The NRA has numerous "boat-
in" camps along the Green River and the reservoir's shoreline;
check with the Flaming Gorge Ranger District Office or visitor
center for more details to include rafting outfitters. Marinas
and lodges in the area offer a wide range of services from
mountain bike rental to horseback trail rides, groceries to
restaurants, and raft and boat rentals to fishing guides and
bait. The lodges, Flaming Gorge Lodge, Red Canyon Lodge, and
Spirit Lake Lodge, are scattered around the NRA. Firewood is
generally available for a fee from either the campground host or
lodges.

In Mountain Home, UT, go north on County Rt. 1566 following signs
to Moon Lake and Yellowstone for 0.7 miles to a "T" intersection.
Turn right at the intersection and go 14.6 miles into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,100 ft.
The campground is located in a large, thick stand of Lodgepole
pines on the west shore of Moon Lake below the towering cliffs of
the High Uintas Wilderness. It has three loops and two spurs.
One loop is identified as the Trailer Loop. It provides easier
access to parking aprons than the other two loops. The latter
loops are closer to the lake and do have some RV friendly camp
sites, but turns are tight on the narrow interior roads. With no
understory or middlestory privacy is poor. Some camp sites
overlook the lake. Not all the sites have tent pads. Although
Moon Lake is a scenic body of water, sudden high winds can make
things dangerous for canoeists.
Moon Lake Resort is adjacent to the campground and offers campers
trail rides, power boat rentals, a convenience store with limited
groceries and ice. There is a public phone at the resort's main
building.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

The elevation is 6,300 ft.
The campground, mostly in the open and above Flaming Gorge

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,900 ft.
The campground is a single loop along the banks of the fast-
flowing Yellowstone River. A little more RV friendly than the
nearby Swift Creek campground, this campground has easier access
to the river. Although most camp sites have an unkept
appearance, this rustic campground overall has a scenic beauty.
Lodgepole pines and heavy grass understory do little to improve
on the minimal privacy between camp sites.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,400 ft.
The campground winds its way along a gentle sloping hillside in a
stand of Ponderosa pines and Aspen trees. Large and widely
spaced camp sites provide good privacy. Firewood is available
for a fee. Red Canyon Lodge is close enough for a cook's night
out along with a wide variety of other services such as trail
rides, kid's fish pond and float tube rentals. Be sure to visit
the nearby Red Canyon Visitor Center for information about the
area, and an interpretive, short walk along the Red Canyon rim
with its magnificent views. The visitor center building is an
interesting architectural design with a roof suspended on its own
and not dependent on the walls of the structure. Imagine
tightening the bolts on the roof and looking straight down 1,300
feet into the reservoir.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
This campground is 1 of 18 in the Flaming Gorge National

spruce (including Blue), and Aspen shade the well separated camp
sites providing excellent privacy. The understory is grass.
Although the river can be heard throughout the campground, none
of the camp sites are on the river. The drive is well worth the
trip to this campground with its great vistas of the canyon and
tranquil atmosphere - a hidden treasure. Although not all the
camp sites have grilles, all have fire rings.
