Rating: 5 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This was the oddest CG we've stayed at. First, the good news. The scenery is spectacular. From there it goes downhill very fast.
It mainly caters to boaters, fishermen and tent campers. RVs, especially motorhomes, are an afterthought. There are only 5 FHU sites and all can be reserved online. If you're a transient, your chances of getting a FHU for more than 1 night are slim. We chose to dry camp to avoid hassles but most of the sites are too small or too sloped for a small 30' moho. EVERY site is slanted AND canted. Even with levelers, it was tough to get level.
The employees are pleasant but not very effective. I saw at least 6 dogs roaming off leash. The girl at the gate didn't seem too clear on which sites were available. Most of the rules seem to be recommendations. - LMandTinViewView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Red Fleet State Park »$25 per night was for an unlevel asphalt pad site with full hookups (30 amp electric), covered picnic table, and fire ring. The four full hookup sites (plus one host site) are situated on an unlevel asphalt parking area that are cramped together with connections in inconvenient locations and virtually no place to park a tow vehicle. It was lucky for us that there were few others using the campground during our overnight stay. The electric only sites had a bit more room. The picnic tables and fire rings are on a large grassy area behind the sites. The campground is located on a reservoir, which is great for boating/fishing and beautiful scenery. Vernal is the nearest city and is surprisingly well equipped. AT&T cell service was non-existent. We used our Milliencom jetpack for internet access but it was really slow. There were no OTA TV stations. - DD Rolling Ranch

Rating: 9 6 7 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a great place to stay. Very Quiet and clean. Fairly easy to navigate. Had a slight problem with some tree limbs but the Camp Host took care of the problem very quickly. Pull through was easy in and out. No problems navigating the interior roads. Will return if ever in this area. - dakota ev
Electric hookups only. Water is available but is shared so you can't stay hooked up to it. Dump station available. No wifi. No Verizon cell service. It was a very warm few days there and very few of the sites have any shade at all. Many picnic tables have patio covers but the bugs were pretty bad so we didn't try to brave the heat. The lake is nice with a boat ramp and beach. It is used by many powerboats. - DianeHall524
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Steinaker State Park Campground »This state park is in a convenient location, only about 5 miles from town, and a half-hour drive from Dinosaur National Monument or Flaming Gorge. The campground is very small, and looks a bit old and tired compared to many other state park campgrounds we've stayed in. Our site was pretty large with plenty of privacy which was nice. There are 7 or so full hookup sites which is a nice surprise for a state park, and they're reasonably priced. Unfortunately most of them are on a steep hill so most of those sites are not level. Our 37' motorhome and tow car had no problem fitting in our pull-through site, but we had to drive our back tires up onto about 5 inches of stacked boards for leveling. The rest of the sites are electric-only or no hookups, and we did hear a few generators running from rigs in the no hookup sites. There's a vault toilet near site #8 which was pretty stinky. AT&T and Verizon were almost unusable until we put up our booster... then they were decent but definitely not fast. The state park was pretty quiet during the week but during the weekend it was packed with boaters, jet skiers, paddle boarders, and others having fun out on the lake. We found a nice secluded beach near the campground where our dog loved going in for a swim every day, but otherwise there's not much in the way of trails for longer hikes out of the campground. When exiting the campground we ran into some major low-hanging branches near site 28. We had high winds every day, so we could never use our awning for shade. Not sure if this was unusual or normal for the area. The gate to the state park closes at 10pm but we never had reason to be out that late. Overall this is a nice scenic campground, but site selection should be done carefully depending on your rig size, and you should have a cell booster if you want connectivity. - LifeRebooted

Rating: 6 9 9 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We came to the area for Dinosaur national monument and stayed mid-week. the park was about half full. We called when we were an hour out and they got us right in. The campground is well kept with mostly pull through sites. ours had a concrete patio. The host guided us to our camp site and checked back after a bit. we found the park easy to navigate with our car in tow. the site was plenty large for our 35' and toad to stay connected. We typically avoid the KOAs as they are usually over priced for us. but we like to get a pool for the kids and this one was the best in the area. there was a bounce pad, nice play park and the pool was clean and warm. the hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Verizon and ATT were spotty neither worked very well but it did work well in town. The wifi at the park was acceptable from our site. - TeamErnzer
Very spacious site with full hookups. We were backed into an area in the back with lots of quiet. This was a park VERY set up for kids. Pool and big outdoor area for playing. They even had a large inflated rubber semi dome for kids to jump on. This park is very close to Dinosaur National Park. It is fairly close to Flaming Gorge National Monument. I recommend highly going to both. The drive up to Flaming Gorge is beautiful. Dinosaur is a large park with varied terrain. We went on a ranger led hike while there. - RFCN2
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA »This is one of the nicest KOA Parks we have ever stayed in. Sites are all very large mostly level pack gravel surface. There are both pull through spots and back in spots available. Our back in spot was in a newly renovated area in the left rear of the park. It was exceptionally large with shade trees and grass and no road noise. As it had just been recently redone there were some dirt areas where the grass had not filled in. The utility tower was towards the rear of the site but was easily accessed with our mid coach electric cord. Water pressure was high and sewer attachment was easy to access and drain using one hose. Pull through sites are closer to the front of the park and had more than enough room even for large rigs. Many had cement patios with a shade cover. Cable was available but we got good OTA television service. Both AT&T and Verizon had good reception for cell and data. There is large open areas for dog walking as well as a shaded dog park. We did not use any of the facilities however the pool was open and looked well maintained. Vernal is just a short drive and has large shopping areas, multiple commercial and regular fuel stations and many restaurants. We would stay here again if we were in the area. - bbmidwife

Rating: 8 8 8 6 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Rate reflects GS discount. This park is very nice, it is in the middle of Vernal and right off the main highway. It has many mature trees which shade almost every site and muffle noises from the road and nearby businesses. It's a very comfortable place to spend a few days. Electric was steady and worked well, water pressure 65PSI, (we used a regulator) and sewer hook up is convenient, however a tad close to the neighbor's picnic table. Most sites have a picnic table. Road noise decreases a lot at night and did not bother us. The park wifi worked very well. Verizon signal was good, 4G, 4 bar. There is a laundry room, 2 washers/2 dryers $1.75 each, they worked well. There is a charge for the showers. We did not use the restrooms or showers. The park is run by a father/son team. They are very present on the property, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There are a few long terms here, but they (with one exception) are quiet, neat and clean. There is one old class C motorhome; occupied, but covered with blue tarps, only thing that seems out of place here, but it's on the back of the property and was no bother. There is plenty of shopping, restaurants and things to do here. We would stay here again if in the area. - Fixn2gocamp
Pay attention because Its easy to miss the park entrance. I stayed 3 days while visiting the area parks and recharging from lots of travel miles. The staff is exceptionally helpful and courteous. Even asking me if I'd like a site with line-of-sight for my rooftop DISH while still having shade. Interior roads are paved and sites are gravel. Lot of mature shade trees with branches high enough that they don't interfere with the RV. FHU utilities were sufficient and well placed. Sites are a bit close but for a "Park" it is just fine. My site was a pull-thru long enough for 40' MH and my car parked perpendicular, not long enough to park in-line. As others mentioned, some road noise from main street but that generally reduces late evening. I would recommend this park and would readily stay here again. - homey
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Fossil Valley RV Park »Price on a weekly rate. Site was level, gravel. Owner very outgoing and willing to help your needs and a great source of info on area, to see and do. Over the air cable TV with good strong signal. Middle of town but right off of 191 so as noted by others, good amount of road noise added by locals with trucks with loud mufflers. Would stay again. - JimG45

Rating: 7 8 8 9 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We had a very pleasant stay at this RV park located along US-40, but with no road noise. The new owners are a very helpful young couple who are continually making improvements. The roads and sites are all gravel. All sites are pull-through, level, FHU, and very long, with a small shade tree. The bathrooms and laundry are clean and centrally located. All utilities worked well. Lots of space around the perimeter to walk a dog. This location is ideal for visiting Dinosaur National Monument. - JoyceM
Easy access from US40 but minimal road noise. Very helpful and friendly owner. Sites gravel and open as the owner says the landscaping is a work in progress but all looks great so far. Very clean restrooms/showers and laundry. Opposite the Utah visitor centre. Wifi was very good. We have given slightly less than perfect marks only as our site was a bit narrow but ok. Again we think this is a work in progress. We stayed two nights and were very comfortable here and certainly recommend for an overnighter or more to visit Flaming Gorge and Dinosaur Land. - Harris England
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Outlaw Trail RV Park »Totally great stop near Dinosaur National Monument for a few days. Pros: Laundry was cheap maybe $1.25 per wash and $1.00 for dry. The staff was lovely and had great recommendations for what to do. There is a small playground for kids with field right nearby and a couple of nice sitting areas in the campground. Was not very crowded, very easy pull throughs. Cons: There is no shade for sites. You might be able to walk under a tree and get some but none for rigs. - FlarnFamily

Rating: 10 8 5 7 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: WOW, OTA TV. Completely did not expect that. But Verizon BB was barely 3G and worse at times. Loop A & C are FCFS, A is the better bet for larger rigs with mostly level sites, but minimal shade in this loop. Came in mid-July on a Wed and left 5 days later on a Mon. Sites were available all days. Early afternoon is a good time to find a site. Trails, the Sounds of Silence was hot and boring, go backwards if you want to try this trail. Best hike that we found was Harper's Trail in CO. 30 miles or so off of US-40 in Dinosaur, CO. The 2 mile round trip trail is a fairly easy hike. It is at 7510' so it makes a great option if its really hot back at the Green River CG. If your looking to kill some time then Fantasy Canyon is interesting (make sure you find the back side where the round bench is). We enjoyed our stay here and would come again. - Bob and Inga
We got a pull-thru site that had our door facing the river. It was beautiful, but getting warm by late June. We found this boondocking campground to be crowded and hot. There was no respect for campsite - if someone wanted to go to the river, they walked through our site, between our motorhome and toad, to get there. The pull-thru sites were wide places in the road so the side of your rig was right beside the road. For some of the pull-thru sites, that meant that your door was into the roadway - so some rigs entered the loop going the wrong way so their door could face their picnic table and away from the roadway. Most folks stay just a night or two.
We could walk from our site directly to the river and it was pretty. There is no dump station and no water fill available, though there are water spigots for rinsing items near the restrooms, and the restrooms had running water at the time we were there (June). - pattic777View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Green River Campground, Dinosaur National Monument - NPS »We were with a group, so I'm not sure about the rate as someone else made the reservations. Sites range from really great to really crummy. The first site we were assigned was dry, dusty and the picnic table was on the hook up side. Our door opened onto the road. There was not enough room for our truck and we would have had to park way on the other side of the campground. We were moved to a pull through site, very shady with a path through to the river. It was completely different and very pleasant. This is a walk-up site but there may be similar sites that can be reserved. It was especially nice to have access to the river. Someone had built a breakwater with rocks in the river and the dogs could play in the water out of the current. - janci

Rating: 10 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Beautiful park and very popular. I arrived about 2:30 pm on a Thursday and got the last site. Most were reserved or occupied. Lots of wildlife. Saw a bull moose and a bear while there. Shady sites, elevation 8100 ft. so pleasantly cool at night and in the morning. Paved sites quite level. Very pleasant hosts as well as guests. - mockturtle
Very pleasant campground, forested with aspen and pine trees. Quiet and sites were spaced well, trees created nice secluded setting. Site is approximately 10 miles from Flaming Gorge Dam and a few more miles into Dutch John. Several other campgrounds closer to lake and dam. Would stay here again. - abqnm
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lodgepole Campground USFS »Nicest of the many campgrounds in the area and the only one with shade. Clean & well-kept; paved road, paved sites and most are level or nearly so. Good cell signal a couple of miles up the road, but weak to nonexistent in camp. Good basecamp to see the Flaming Gorge. All the area CGs are a little too expensive; this one is actually cheaper than some that aren't as nice, and the only ones that are cheaper are dirty with no water & no shade. Will stay here again on my next time through. - Old Mountain Man
