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. - LMandTinView

$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

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

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

Nice KOA. Owners have been putting in lots of improvements like widening the sites, making premium sites, dog park, bathrooms. It's a nice place. Our was a long pull-thru. The dog park was small but kept up with a very large grass area around it to walk the dog. Bathrooms were clean. Front desk people and hosts and hostesses were friendly and helpful. Close to town and quite at night with little or no traffic. Down the road is the Dinosaur NP and the Green River. We'd stay here again. - We2AreUs

This park worked a great as a "home base" while doing day trips to Dinosaur National Monument and Flaming Gorge NRA. Site was a bit narrow for slide-outs, but I was able to fit. I did not use the park's WiFi, so cannot comment. My satellite dish worked fine and I was able to get several local broadcast channels with my antenna. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My only complaint was the main road through the park, which doubles as an access road to mobile homes behind the park and added to traffic (not obeying the speed limit) near my site. - Phaeton40AH

Good Verizon and AT&T connectivity. Fairly good wifi (although it kept dropping the connection). DTV Satellite worked from our site (26) and cable was fairly broad selection. Park was attractive although lacked scenic views. Nice dog park, our site had concrete pad with table and fire pit. It was spacious with fence to separate the spaces. Lots of activities like pool, putt putt golf, play area for kids etc. Location was near town yet quiet. - rolltide19

Oct 2017 - $34.00
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

Price is weekly rate. Easy to get in/out off of US 40 in Vernal. Interior roads are a mix of paved and gravel. Sites are gravel, level, with picnic table, and utilities worked well. Wifi varied from useless to decent. Verizon signal strong. Mostly treed so lots of shade and only a few sites get satellite reception. Sites vary in size and ease of navigation. Owner is very friendly and very helpful. I have to mention that there are times, day and night, when locals with very loud vehicles go by on the highway with engines revved very high generating a lot of noise. This is obviously no fault of the park but if you are a light sleeper it can be disturbing. - cwier

This was conveniently located to Dinosaur National Monument and stock-up shopping and the campground met out needs well. We had no difficulty maneuvering our 35 ft. Wheel and ther was good shade. - Melissa Koppenhaver

Older campground (or former trailer park) that the owners are progressively working to improve. The park road is paved; the sites are gravel. The sites are very close together with no shade and no fire rings of picnic tables. The sites are very long and level. The park offers 30 and 50 amp sites. The bathroom/laundry building has been renovated on the outside; the inside is older but very clean. The showers are fully tiled = 25 cents for a hot five-minute shower. Convenient dump station. Easy on/off Highway 40. We hope to return. - Our Rolling Home

If you are here to go to Dinosaur National Monument, this park has full hookups, fairly level sites and reasonable prices. It is a buck extra if you use a credit card. Although the highway frontage is a well kept lawn, sites are all gravel, no picnic tables or trees. A utilitarian campground for a specific purpose. Wifi, when it worked, was very, very slow, apparently due to a dispute with the local phone company. This is not a place to recline outside drinking wine and eating snacks. - AirstreamGene

I have stayed at the park time and time again over the past 5 years because we have family out there. Yes they do not have a lot of trees just yet but they did, I was told by a park employee they got a disease which killed the trees, something that could not be controlled and are working on fixing but trees take time to grow. They have large bathrooms with HUGE showers that yes cost quarters but 1 quarter is 5 mins and I can afford that for the care they take in their facility. They have an amazing laundry room as well, soda machine, snack machine, they even have wi-fi and the closest RV park to the monument. I will tell you this, I price check every where I stay and they were the best price as well as the best value even though they don't use discounts and are not affiliated with any groups. Yes they do keep a few signs up but I have dealt with CS and for every sign my employer had ever put up it was usually because someone did something to cause it. I have seen the changes in the park these last few years and I say this to the owners, kudos to all your hard work. Cant wait to come visit next year! - JDJohnson

A lovely desert campground located next to the Green River. Cottonwood trees provide partial shade for some sites, but most are sunny. Only one loop of the three can be reserved in advance, but we had a large choice of sites when pulling in around 2:30 on a weekday. We selected a pull-alongside site adjacent to the river. The evening winds can sometimes be strong, so stake down any tents. - RobinM

We had reservations for two nights here. The site was easy to access, although the one-way loops were a little confusing at first. Invasive cheat grass is prevalent throughout the campground, although it had been trimmed in the immediate vicinity of each picnic table and fire ring. Lots of shade from mature cottonwood trees and great views, especially near sunset as shadows move up the hillside across the Green River. - Desert Beacon

Beautiful with easy Big-Rig access. No hook-ups and no water fill/dump availability, but bathrooms are available (no showers). Very quiet, beautiful surroundings. Loop 'A' is all 'first-come, first-serve' with at least 3 pull-though spaces that could accommodate our 40'rig & 2 back in spaces that could do the same (a few more spaces that could have fit our large-ness are currently closed for 'rehab'). Camp host was friendly. Some trees throughout that provide shade to some spaces. Trails are nearby and river is visible from many camping spots. Firewood can be purchased right on site. Picnic tables and fire rings (with grill) at each site. Spots are pretty level. Road to access campground is a bit windy, but nothing scary or unmanageable. - Liz Chafik

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
