Elevation6900 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryPonderosa pines dominate the campground, providing shade and the vanilla-bark scent characteristic of high-elevation forests. Red rock formations rise from the surrounding landscape, remnants of ancient geological forces that carved Flaming Gorge. The reservoir's blue-green water sits within reach, reflecting the sky and canyon walls. At this elevation, meadow grasses fill open spaces between trees, and wildflowers peak in summer months. The setting combines forest canopy with views of the dramatic cliffs and water that define the recreation area.

Lodging & AccommodationsThere are no lodging facilities such as cabins or glamping options available. This campground is strictly for tent and RV campers.

Programs & ActivitiesNearby Flaming Gorge Dam offers guided tours of its hydroelectric plant and a visitor center with historical exhibits. Reviewers did not mention direct experiences with these programs.
