Bootleg is a boat-in campsite along the Green River, located about 1 mile below Little Hole Boat Ramp at an approximate elevation of 6,000 feet. This site can also be accessed by foot on an unofficial trail.
The Green River provides spectacular fishing and river-running opportunities, as well as unique geology, outlaw history and Native American rock art.
The campground is situated alongside the beautiful Green River in an area typical of a high desert environment. Shady juniper, cottonwood and ponderosa pine trees forest the riverbank. Summer wildflowers dot the landscape.
The Green River offers excellent fishing for rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. Rafting and kayaking are very popular activities.
Bootleg contains one reservable campsite equipped with a picnic table, campfire ring with benches, tent pads and a blind for a portable toilet.
Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is known not only for its beautiful red cliffs but also for its world-class fishing. Boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and scuba diving are also popular activities on the reservoir.
Flaming Gorge Dam offers guided tours of the working hydroelectric plant and the dam itself; the adjacent visitor center contains area history exhibits.

We stayed one night in May, the showers and bathrooms were some of the cleanest and nicest we had on our 11-day trip through the southwest. We even did laundry and the laundry room was very clean. The RV park was quiet and adjacent to Loa, UT. Our space backed up to a field of horses so we opened up the back doors of our van and watched the horses as the sun set. Overall a great experience at this RV park!
This review is for the laundromat only. I was staying in town and there was no where to do laundry. The gal at the front desk suggested the RV park laundromat and gave me the code to the door. It is very nice and clean it has three washers and three dryers with a soap vending machine but no where to get change. The family dollar in town will get you some quarters. Wash and dry is 2$ a load. Very very nice!!
Last-minute find as we were on a winter Mighty Five trip and needed a site with electric for the night. The showers and bathrooms were immaculately clean, site was level and both people were dealt with (one on the phone, one at check-in) were SO friendly and helpful, with tons of good suggestions about things to do in the area and so accommodating.
Appeared to be nice bathrooms and separate shower rooms even though we didn't use. We did use the very nice laundry room and price of 2.00 per fair, good machines...3 washers and 3 dryers. 1/2 hour drive to Capitol Reef. Park fairly new, all full hookups. No trees, just gravel. Less expensive than Rv parks nearer Capitol Reef. Small grocery walking distance away. Never saw anyone in the office as it appears the owner must live close by, he just comes by as needed by customers.
Fantastic full-service RV Park, highly recommend. Similar to other reviews, we were looking for an RV Park during a winter tour of the Big 5. Everything near Capitol Reef was closed, but Fremont was open and very accommodating.
They have electric and water (though in the winter you can't leave the hose hooked up overnight which was totally fine). Bathrooms and showers were incredibly clean and warm, perfect for a pick me up after winter adventuring. They also have laundry facilities which were clean, easy to use ($2/wash, $2/dry, with soap for sale as well). Propane and fuel are also just down the road.
Highly recommend staying here. Gary was responsive and happy to help. We had everything we needed, even waking up to a beautiful snowstorm 😉
