In planning our recent trip to Yellowstone, we wanted to stay nearby, but not in the park, to avoid the massive crowds and have a nice quiet place to come back to at the end of a day of sightseeing. Lonesomehurst delivered and then some! Located on the shores of beautiful Lake Hebgen, this lovely little campground is a hidden gem. Interior sites have electric hookups and water is available on site. We stayed in site 12 (lakefront) and our friends stayed in site 11 (interior w/ elec hookup). The campground is located next to private property where there are a number of summer homes along the shore. Only 10 minutes from the West Yellowstone Park entrance made it so easy to access the park. It rained a LOT the week we were there (right before Yellowstone closed from flooding) but the campground sites were not muddy at all, a definite plus!

If you're looking for one of the most scenic campgrounds in the Uintah mountains, Washington Lake does not disappoint! With only 39 campsites, you can avoid the crowds that Mirror Lake draws (Sooo many people . . .) Paved sites with many having beautiful views of the lake and big enough to accommodate even large RVs. We stayed in site 19 (a double) and easily shared with our friends - we have a 26' trailer and they have a 28' trailer. The campground is very well kept and the host is very friendly. The Lake is fuller than last year at this same time, but with the drought, expect it to be low by season's end. Only drawbacks are no water available and LOTS of hikers on the Crystal Lake trail that goes through the campground.
