Fly fishers and tent campers who haul their own water and want cheap access to rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout will get full value here. Summer nights drop near freezing, so pack layers, and grab a site early since it's first-come-first-served.
No potable water on-site is a real logistical problem if you're unprepared, and the grass-and-gravel pull-throughs plus a narrow, rocky access road make life difficult for any RV over mid-size. Privacy is essentially nonexistent between sites.

<p>The Riverview Campground sits at an elevation of just under 8000 feet. Fishing in the Yellowstone River for rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout is popular. There is trailhead access to the High Uintas Wilderness at the end of Forest Road #124 at the Swift Creek Trailhead.</p>
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.
Open Memorial Day through Labor Day
The parking aprons are grass and gravel.

Summer brings the most reliable access. Daytime highs reach the mid-60s to high-70s, while nights can drop toward freezing on clear mornings. Trails open up after snowmelt, and wildflowers peak in June and July. The river runs full and swift from spring melt, making for good fishing once flows settle. Expect moderate crowds on holiday weekends. Snow closes the campground outside the summer season, and occasional rain showers pass through even in the warmest months.
Open Memorial Day–Labor Day; summer offers reliable access, cool temps and fishing.
