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: 8 8 8 9 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is an older park 7 miles from highway 40. It is pretty dated, but well maintained. The park is VERY quiet at night. Because the lake is very low (dam repairs), the park was fairly empty. The sites are a little difficult with respects to level. Our site was somewhat hill and required several extra blocks on the rear stabilizers. The best sites were electric only. - SAU51
This is a wonderful park if you can get the right site for your rig. We have a 39 foot class A and sites 1 and 2 work really well. Some other sites may work but these two are a definite. The camp host was great. It is a beautiful area. The site has a concrete slab with a cover and a picnic table. The site is asphalt. Because the reservoir was so low, there was hardly anyone around. There is one set of bathrooms that are nice but the pit toilets are just terrible with flies everywhere. There are no showers. Verizon worked but it was marginal. We went into town (Vernal) to the Starbucks to use the wifi. There was a huge rain storm while we were there and they worked very hard to clean up roads and some sites that had issues - we were fine. - Ludmilla
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Steinaker State Park Campground »This park is on an irrigation reservoir and has a variety of site types and sizes, so research carefully and use Google Earth. Elevation varies across the park, so some sites are up high and others are in a hollow. Sites 1-8 or 9 were the only full hook-ups when we stayed. All the sites and interior roads are paved with concrete patio pads and picnic tables. Sites are either back-in or the semi-circle style of pull-thru, and large rocks and tough bushes are strategically placed to jump out at your rig while parking if not careful; use a spotter. Some tree branches over roads really needed trimming when we were there. Our pull-thru was long enough for our large motorhome and toad, and surprisingly level in the middle just where we needed to park. We did have to wait several hours after check-in to set up, as hosts didn't want to bother the prior occupants who were locals in no hurry to vacate. We were high enough to get good DirecTV and OTA coverage, but just too far away from civilization to get a decent VZW signal (it worked at the boat launch). Flies were an issue throughout the park, and especially near the pit toilets and fish cleaning station by the boat launch. - RvTravelerNTechie

Rating: 8 9 8 6 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Big rig friendly with level sites. Easy access to US 40. WiFi, showers, laundry, dog park, and cable was good. No problem with satellite. - Fulltimersrv
Very nice campground and well maintained. Made the reservation online and stated that I wanted a satelite view. We arrived midday and office was closed but a map and information were ready for us. We had a pull through site on the first row that was good for satelite. Site was gravel, fairly level and roomy with a paved patio. Utilities were in a reachable location. Water pressure was good and electric was stable. Staff was friendly and helpful with our needs and questions. There is a well stocked store. We only had 2 days here but would like to return again. Our only complaint was the added traffic and vehicle noise from the permanent residents that occupy the rear portion of the property. - RV'er

Rating: 8 8 8 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Supper friendly father/son owners. Lots of Hugh trees and nicely kept grass at each site. Picnic tables on gravel. Washer and dryer are quite old but still work. Only complaint was zero amenities at all. Felt very safe and relaxed! Wound definitely stay again. - Alan-Kathy Powell
Manager extremely nice and knowledgeable about the area. Our site, #28, was the first site in the park. Shady with large grassy area. Next to restroom, laundry and road. Very good wifi. There is road noise. You have to pay to use the shower. Hwy 191 from Flaming Gorge is doable in RV. 6-8 percent grades and switchbacks but not too bad. - Mustcamp
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Fossil Valley RV Park »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

Pull-Thru SitesPool AccessBig Rig AccessPets AllowedWaterfront AccessTents AllowedReviews of Outlaw Trail RV Park
Rating: 6 6 7 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed 3-nights at Outlaw Trail RV Park because the CG (1) is a short 20-minute drive from Dinosaur National Monument, (2) has 30/50-amp full-service sites, and (3) was the only RV park in the area that wasn't full over the Labor Day weekend. As has been stated in previous reviews the CG is definitely "no frills" and a "work in progress." Its sites are long but narrow and closely spaced, so no sense of privacy. There are no shade trees, so AC is a must. The CG is set about 100 yds from the highway, so there is some - but not a lot of - traffic noise A tall chain-link fence separates the CG from neighbors who appear to store abandoned trailers on their property. The bath/shower facilities and coin laundry were clean. Yes, the CG is a giant, sterile, gravel parking lot - not a place to relax and hang out with family and friends - but we would probably stay again, because the CG is safe, priced fairly, well-managed, and close to Dinosaur NM. - Kona Boy
No frills gravel, level, pull-thru sites, FHU. Grassy tent area and playground. Not at all crowded while we were there. Coin laundry, restrooms-showers are clean (quarter for 5 min for guests). Park is South side of Hwy 40 across from Visitor Center and County 149 going to Dinosaur National Monument. Non-guests: Dump station is $10, showers are $3. CONs: When full, sites are very close; and with just 5 daily sites occupied of probably 80 sites -- they put a tent-trailer in next site to us (had to move a picnic table to do so) which gave neither of us any privacy! - evadu
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Outlaw Trail RV Park »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

Rating: 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Split Mountain Group Campground »This is a group campsite with the most amazing views of Dinosaur National Monument that you'll find. It's at the base of Split Mountain, a huge face of rock with a big crack in it where the river flows through. The group sites consist of many pull-through loops big enough for two or three motor homes. Each of the four sites has four loops or so, and that means you can bring all of your friends. There is also plenty of room for tents, and it's right next to the river. There are only a few drawbacks. The chipmunks and mice are VERY aggressive, and they will jump up next to your plate on your picnic table while you're eating. You can't leave a door open or anything unattended for even a second or two. They will get in your RV. They will get in your vehicle. They're impossible to scare away. The other drawbacks are the location. The nearest gas station is quite a distance away as the main one in Jensen is closed (as of Spring, 2018). You have to drive to Vernal for anything to do if you want more than the monument to occupy your time. There is no cell service and no WiFi. But this is a great way to get off the grid. All of the sites are good. Keep in mind that you get about four loops in your site, not just one. Look at a satellite view of the campground and divide the loops into four to see how many you get. - OffroadGirl

Rating: 9 10 9 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Easy big rig access and paved sites, spacious, scenic & mostly level right on the Green River and inside Dinosaur National Monument. Spend a few days on river, hiking or scenic day-loops in Flaming Gorge country where you'd not want to venture with your rig. No dump station, water, or electric but a fee dump ($10) at Outlaw RV in Jensen. We do plan to come back. - evadu
The campground is right along the Green River. The site 33 was a pull-off site and very pleasant and level. We had decent Verizon. This campground is close to the Dinosaur exhibits. We also went to the other side of the NM, in Colorado, and really enjoyed it, especially the Harper Corners Trail and Echo Park Road. We also had time to visit Flaming Gorge NRA and recommend a visit. - bdornbush

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
