Cedar Springs Campground is located in the beautiful Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area on the Ashley National Forest at an elevation of 6,100 feet. Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Cedar Springs Marina are less than a mile from the campground. Exciting recreational activities abound, including 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. Cedar Springs Marina is adjacent.
Bear Canyon Trail, an easy 3-mile round-trip trail for hiking and mountain biking, begins nearby and leads to views of Red Canyon and Flaming Gorge.
This small campground contains single and double-family sites with picnic tables and campfire rings. Vault toilets, drinking water, a dump station and fish cleaning station are provided. Showers are available a half-mile away at Deer Run Campground.
For large group camping, the nearby Arch Dam, Greendale, Dripping Springs, Antelope Flat and Dutch John Draw Campgrounds have several group sites available.
Cedar Springs is situated among juniper, pinyon pine and sagebrush on a hillside above Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Shade is limited but the vegetation provides good privacy between sites, many of which have scenic views of the reservoir below.
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.

Negatives are it's 32 bucks give me a damn break I mean you've got unpainted, flaking picnic tables, I mean you can't even sit on that picnic table you could seriously get paint chips just rubbed into your legs if you're wearing shorts, that's terrible; The dump was offensive at 10 bucks even more offensive and the trash bins look like they're over filling other than that I mean it's fine.
Great views all around the campsite. Bathrooms are large and clean as far as campsites go. Get there early or reserve campsites on the cliff side if you want the best views.
$32 per night + $7 for an extra vehicle when there's no other campground open in a 20+ mile radius and an abnormally late winter that makes all the Forest Service roads unsafe to access feels a lot like price gauging. Not cool and would NEVER stay here if not for the fact that there are NO other options. Way to follow suit with California and make dispersed camping only for wealthy people. 👎👎👎
We had a wonderful stay at Cedar Springs Campground! The grounds were private and shady. While the camp host wasn’t present during our visit, the bathrooms were very clean. We stayed at campsite 7. It was close to the bathroom and water spout. The lake view was also only about 20 steps away. With that being said, we could hear all of the music and fun happening at the marina. It didn’t bother us, but I’d you are looking for a quiet stay, the site might not be it. We loved it though! Would definitely stay again!
Nice little campground overlooking the Marina. Vault toilets and water available. Sites are small with foliage overgrown. I recommend a drive or walk through for those with large class A's or large trailers. Only issue about the location is noise from the Marina, radios and voices are loud when in campground.
