We stay at this campground several times a year and really like it a lot! Sites are big enough to park our 5th wheel side by side with our boat. Very convenient for fishing. Hot showers are wonderful when it's cold outside and bathrooms are clean. Service varies year to year as camp hosts change, but all in all a good place to stay!
I enjoyed the campground in mid September, to closing day. Quiet with electricity!
Lame. 2:00 on a Friday afternoon and nobody is here. The place is closed, and this is normal business hours. I just drove up from Salt Lake City. There's a sign on the door that says "ring bell" pointing to door bell. There's another sign that gives 2 phone numbers to call if you need immediate attention.
I rang the bell and waited...
I tried calling the numbers but had no service (I have Verizon).
I rang the bell and waited some more.
I walked around the outside of the building and looked around.

I called a couple days earlier and was told I could purchase a reciprocity license and bait there. So that was my plan. I turned around and drove the 25 miles back to Green River. I tried calling the marina again when I got cell service and there was no answer. I went to Ace Hardware in Green River where they had everything I needed. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. I recommend going here if you need to make any last minute purchases for your next fishing trip.
Reasonable forestry campground with showers, potable water, electric and a dump station for $7. Close to boat dock and marina. Lots of water access close by, very little use in July. Lots of offroading options as well as water sports. Dog friendly
They closed the dump station and water on the 4th of July without any notice. There were only 7 campers there. Nice surprise when you’re pulling out. The camp host just cruised by on their cart not saying anything or picking up garbage. Oh and posted everywhere no fireworks and guess who was shooting them off the camp host!!
