Antelope Flat Campground lies on the shores of the beautiful Flaming Gorge Reservoir at an elevation of 6,000 feet, on the Ashley National Forest within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. Visitors love Antelope Flat for its easy access to boating, water skiing and fishing.
Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is known not only for its beautiful red cliffs, but also for its world-class fishing for lake, brown and rainbow trout. Boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and scuba diving are popular activities on the reservoir.
The campground contains four group sites, each with a picnic shelter, tables, campfire ring, grills and tent pads. Several family sites are available as well, each with a cabana, picnic table and campfire ring; some sites have grills.
Flush toilets, drinking water and a dump station are provided. A boat ramp is located on-site. The campground is accessed via a well-maintained gravel road.
Nearly every site within the campground offers scenic reservoir and mountain views. Russian olive trees and cottonwoods dot the rolling, sagebrush-covered landscape. Shade is limited, and temperatures range from warm days to cool nights.
Flaming Gorge Dam offers guided tours of the working hydroelectric plant and the dam, and the adjacent visitor center contains area history exhibits.
The Green River below the dam provides spectacular rafting opportunities. A trip down the river offers unique geology, outlaw history and Native American rock art.

The area is beautiful with low scrub brush, views of gorgeous rock formations, access to the water, and well kept camp sites. Roy, the manager, is pleasant and extremely knowledgeable about the area. There are no showers but the bathrooms have running water and flushable toilets. They are clean and well kept. There are reserved spots as well as first come first serve sites with affordable prices. This family friendly camping park is a hidden gem in a secluded part of the Green River/Flaming Gorge area.
Beautiful! Absolutely love it. If you’re looking for a sunset spot, this is it!
Our host was laid-back and courteous. Due to the openness of the surrounding landscape you can see for miles, which makes for great star gazing. You can here coyotes at night, which is fun, but there is a castle barrier that mostly keeps them out. If you are tent camping, be wary of red ants.
We were at the group site and loved that we could spread out away from everyone else due to covid. The beach does have rocks and group 4 has cliffs that come off the campground so we had to watch the little late kids..but we had a great time. Taking about going again next year.
Nice in between campground. Great for tents or trailers but no hook ups for trailers. Flush toilets but bring your own soap. Friendly camp hosts and quick access to a boat ramp, fishing and swimming. A little farther than some of the campgrounds but not nearly as crowded so more peaceful. Enjoyed camping here!
