Ashley National Forest Vernal Ranger District, Uintah County, Utah
Anglers and solitude-seekers who don't mind hauling in their own water will find this hard to beat. The Whiterocks River runs through the canyon bottom, audible from most sites, cutthroat trout are in the water, and summer highs stay in the low 80s with cool nights. At $8 first-c
No potable water on-site is a real logistical commitment, bring everything you'll drink and cook with. The vault toilets draw consistent complaints about smell and mice, so if restroom conditions matter to your group, this primitive setup will wear on you fast.

The elevation is 7,500 ft. The campground, located next to Whiterocks River and in the Whiterocks Canyon, is composed of two unnamed loops. Ponderosa, 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. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
Open Memorial Day through Labor Day
The parking aprons are dirt. An RV waste station is available for no fee at the Phillips 66 gas station located at the west end US Rt. 40 in Duchesne.

Summer brings mid-60s to low-80s during the day and drops to 35–50°F at night. It's the most reliable window for access and fishing, though holiday weekends in late May, early July, and early September see heavier use. Snow closes the campground from late November through early May. Spring and fall offer solitude and the chance to see fresh snow on the canyon walls, but road conditions become unpredictable. Aspens turn gold in late September.
Open Memorial Day to Labor Day; best access, reliable fishing and pleasant temps.
